UNsHACKLING INDUSTRY.
kansas City Post.)

(Kansas City Post)
The national administration shows
wisdom in abandoning its plan of
taxing human industry in caring for
the added burden of the federal
government This portion of the
presidents message. as has been
pointed out, did not meet with the
approval of the nation.
The wealthy now escape Iegiti-
mate taxation that falls upon per-
sons in moderate circumstances.
While the moderately circumstanced
are in preponderating majority. the
protests that have reached congress
over the taxes first proposed did not
arise because of numbers. They
were founded on the idea that the
project was unjust essentially.
Any tax levied against industry
ultimately falls upon labor. The
poor have possessions that are OBJ
vious and easy TO account for. Be
cause Of this they now are paying
more than their proportionate share
Of taxation. The scheme to tax
those who have large incomes or
great wealth in a measure level the
present handicaps.
The rich owe society a debt they
seldom requite. They are secured
in their holdings by the consent of
the overwhelming majority. The
permanence o. government is Of
greater moment TO them than to one
who depends upon his labor and
may make a living under any form
of control Then. too, government
presumed TO be founded on equality
should be maintained through equal
taxation
The most welcome form Of taxa

ance tax. 1t has been estimated
that $$0O,0OO,)OO a year may be
gained from this source without de-
priving heirs of sums of which they
justly may be eXpectant In the very
nature Of things this tax once in
stituted viii be the basis of reforms
in economic problems which con
tinuously Will more and more equal
lie conditions at birth.
