Evening Up In Taxes.

The proposed increase In the In
come tax has been ATTACKED on the
ground that II imposes a govern
mental burden on one particular
class and to the exclusion OF the
bulk OF the people. But the fact
is that up TO this time most or the
huge cost OF conducting the govern.
ment has been paid by people OF
small means.
The tariff and excise taxes have
come out OF the pockets OF the con
sumer. He may not have known H.
for the taxes have been added to
the cost OF the goods he buys. But
he has paid them, just the same.
In this sort OF taxation the fam
lily OF small means pays far more
IN proportion to its ability than the
family OF wealth. The tax on sugar
for instance amounts 10 several
dollars q year for the ordinary fam
lily. The millionaire's family pays
comparatively little more.
This sort OF discrimination has
gone on for years. About the only
way to even up Is to give the family
of large income chance to pay a
direct tax 10 the government. Nc
matter how large this tax may be
made II will not take so large q
share Of the possibIe savings I'm the
case OF the wealthy family as the
existing tariff and excise duties now
consume in the case OF a. family
with an income Of, say. 81 200 a
year.
All other considerations aside. the
increase In the income tax 10 cover
the cost OF additional defense Will
merely help TO even things up and
correct an injustice OF long stand

mark
The first regular storm period, ac-
cording to this advice, extends from
the 9Th to the 10th, with the 7th as
the center. During this time we are
due to encounter prolonged spell of
threatening, unsettled weather, with
rising temperature and falling barom-
eter.' The storms will form in the
West on the opening date and move
eastward. following which will be
decided drop of temperature. Changes

storms and generally dominating the
weather for several days following"
a reactionary p.riod will set in on
the 18th, but we are advised to be on
the lookout for severe snow and Size,
storms until the first ha'f of the month
is passed. These storms are not fore
casted, but history shows they are IL
able to come with vengeance at this
time. The reactionary period will
bring a decided rise in temperature,
but beware of the storms.
