Rev. Father Kelley spoke on
Patriotism and Peace"
1T is a common belief" he said,
that patriotism is engendered in the
breast by the clarion call of war. 1t
is fine and noble thing to die for
ole's country, but what finer and
nobler thing to live for ones country"
He declared that the true concep-
ton of patriotism is that which causes
man to fight the physical and moral
forces that threaten the nation.

INDEPENDENT VOTE
TO Be GIVEN WILSON

Formation of the Woodrow Will
son Independent League in New York
will form an avenue for the activity
of the numerous independent voters
thruout the country who want to
work and to vote for the reelection
of the president.
Conspicuous among the men affili-
ated with the Independent league
which will back Wilson, are Con-
gressman William Kent of California,
the only Independent elected to the
present congress; Jacob Schiff, the
we'll known New York banker, and
Clarence H. Dodge, prominent in f.
nancial and manufacturing circles
Congressman Kent Just announced
his support of President Wilson and
his willingness to cooperate with the
Independent league in bringing about
the election of the president for a
second term. Kent is one of the
most conspicuous figures in California
politics, having been elected to con-
gress as Republican, a Progressive
and an independent. His accession
to the Wilson ranks will be of mater
ial aid to the Democrats in their
fight to capture the electoral vote of
California. Francis j. Heney, one
of the leading Progressives of the
country, previously announced for
Wilson, and the example of Kent and
Heney will be followed by numerous
California Progressives. Hundreds
of thousands of Republicans are lib
eral enough to vote for a second
term for Democratic president who
makes good. And Wilson has made
good.

Hughes Opposed Income Tax

menu, 90 not know.
Hughes Opposed Income Tax
Judge Hughes, the Republi-
can candidate for president, is
earnestly opposed to both tax
es, and as governor of New
York he urged the defeat of
the income tax. He has not in
dicated that he has changed
his mind.
During the last year the in
come tax produced $124,OOO,-
900. AS amended it will bring
into the Treasury during the
fiscal year at least 1925, ,OOO,-
900. All of this will be paid by
those whose net income exceed
$4,000 for married men and
$4,000 for single men.
The records show there are
l73 individuals in this country
whose incomes exceed $780,
600 a year. Their gross in
come for 1914 was $246,327,-
600, and under the new law
they will be compelled to con-
tribute IL per cent of that stag
gering amount, or about $780,
100000 to the support of the
government which. safeguards
their lives and property. Is
that unreasonable?
If they lived in England they
would pay three or four times
as much.
Mild Inheritance Tax
The new inheritance tax is
really very mild statute. 1t
will not affect estates with a
net value of less than $4,000.
The trainers did not feel that
it was necessary to oppress
widows and Orphans in order
to support the government, so
they made a very generous
allowance for their mainten-
ance.
The tax is graduated from
one to five per cent, the larger
amount being levied on estates
above $5,OOO,OOO. Some idea
of the number of large fort
unes in this country may be
gathered from the fact that
even this moderate tax will
produce, according to the ex-
perts, $54,000,000.
$50 far as the Inheritance
tax is concerned" said Demo-
cratic Leader Kitchin during
the debate on the bill, eve are
only making a beginning. Fut-
ure Congresses will increase
the rates very materially. We
did not feel that we needed the
money just now"

A Fundamental Change
The passage of this bill
marks a fundamental change
in our fiscal legislation.
Heretofore the cost of con-
ducting the federal govern
ment was met by the imposi-
ton of taxes which increased
the cost of the things men must
have in order to sustain life.
Men did not contribute in
proportion to their wealth but
in proportion to their consum-
ing power. Every time you
purchased a hat, or a suit of
clothes or a pound of sugar or
meat for your table, or furni-
ture for your home, or a cigar,
or sack of tobacco or a glass
Of beer, a certain sum was ad-
ded to the price on account of
the tariff or the internal reven-
ue tax. Of course, you did not
know you were paying some
thing for the upkeep of the
government, because the man.
ufacturer quietly added the
tax without annoying his Gus
toner with a discussion of the
matter. But every dollar of
the vast total required to keep
Uncle Sam in business came
out OF the pockets of the con-
sumers.
It was the indirect, the Re-
publican, the easy way of rails
ing revenue.
Injustice of Old System
one of the worst features of
lne system was that it took as
much from the poor man as
from the rich. We all agree
ehat every citizen under the
nag should contribute his Just
snare OF the money needed to
Keep that flag flying in security
over nation of free people.
But no one will contend that
vi .he man of moderate means
should give as much as the
multi-millionaire
iet, it was not until the ad-
vent ten' OF o. the Wilson administra-
,, uon that any serious attempt
