Income Tax Law Faulty.

This country has a federal income
tax, the most unfair that ever was
levied upon any people in the world.
1t imposes the largest penalty on thrift
and competence ever levied by any
government. discourages both thrift
and competence and awards heavy
premium to prodigality and incompe-
tence. Any man whose income amounts
to $1,000 a year. married or single, can
very well afford TO pay something to
the support of the government. Any
man who has even $500 year in
come, whether from salary, wages or
property, receives so many benefits
from the government that he ought to
pay a little for the support OF It.

SUBMARINE FIRES
At U. S. WARsH|P
Destroyer Smith Reports Attack
by German U-Boat.
BLOCKADE OF COAST SEEN
Presence Of Enemy Divers in Ameri

Against Ports Has Begun
Torpedo Missed Vessel.

Washington, April 19.-American pa
troll ships are sweeping the north AT.
lantic coast of the United States in
an effort TO locate and destroy the Ger
man submarine which fired a torpedo
at the United States destroyer Smith.
The presence of enemy submersibles
In American waters indicates that the
threatened German submarine block
ade Of American Atlantic ports has
begun.
This announcement was made on
Tuesday at the navy department:
Reported from Fire Island lightship
to the naval station at Boston and
New York at 3 80 a. m. on the nth,
an enemy submarine was sighted by
the U. S. s. Smith, running apparently
submerged Submarine tired torpedo
at the L. S. $. Smith. which missed
her by 80 yards. The wake of the
torpedo wss plainly seen crossing the
bow. Submarine disappeared"
The navy department announced
that the report of the Smiths encoun-
ter had been substantiated by official
investigation.
No further details are available
here.
Whether the presence of the Ger
nan submarine merely foreshadows a
sporadic raid. such as the U-53 CON
Quoted off the New England coast, or
Is the signal for the beginning of a
general submarine blockade of the At
lantic coast is not known.
The attack by the "U" boat is Ger
many's first recognition of the state Of
war declared by the United States. 1t
was stated in Germany soon after the
action Of congress that no aggressive
steps would be taken against the Unit
ed States.
Virtually no American officials be-
Heved this statement. however, and
steps 70 meet aggressive acts We're az
once taken. The probability of sub
marine attack ON unprotected seaboard
cities and towns. raids on shipping
within sight Of American shores and a
submarine blockade Of the principal
Atlantic ports with the purpose Of ter
rorizing shipping and people were ex-
pected.
Last week word came to Washington
In a roundabout way that Germany
was about to declare a prohibited sub
marine zone about the harbors at Bos-
ton, New York, the Delaware eapes,
Chesapeake bay, Charleston and Sa-
vannah. This would have included all
the important ports on the Atlantic
seabOard.
IL was said then that an official
warning to neutrals as to the prohibit
ed zone would be issued from Berlin.
Some American officials were disin-
clined 10 credit the report, but the en-
telte diplomatic corps. here believe in
it and predicted that Germany would
soon carry the submarine campaign to
this side Of the Atlantic, principally
for the purpose Of soaring neutral
shipping away from American harhors
and to raid the great squadrOns of
merchant ships which are moving food
and supplies to Americas allies on the
European battle fronts.

Well to Avoid Europe,s Mistakes.

This country can learn from the ex-
perience of other nations. At the out
break of the war Asquith was British
minister of war. He resigned and put
the experienced soldier, Kitchener, in
his place. A few months later the en-
tire cabinet was recognized, with
Lloyd George as minister of muni-
tons. The French cabinet was reor.
ganized three weeks after war broke.
Politically appointed cabinets are
not equal to the stress of war.
Why not avoid the mistakes of hu-
rope and reorganize ours in advanceI
Why permit incompetent direction to
waste lives and resources? Why not
conserve both by going into the war
under the management of the best
men we can get?

tension on incomes TO Raise
$780,, 25o, 900.

Washington. April l6.-Administra-
ton suggestion as to possible new
sources of taxation through which to
raise approximately one-half of the es-
timated cost Of the first year of the

by Secretary McAdoo to the senate

committees. The other half of the
cost is 10 be provided by 2.000,000,000

Outstanding in the suggestions are
greatly increased income and excess

stamp, liquor, amusement. sugar. cof-
fee, tobacco. soft drink. freight and
passenger transportation receipts. and
automobile taxes All of the data is
sent 10 congress for its information
and without recommendations from the
treasury.
Probably the most far-reaching pro-
posal concerns income taxes. The sec
Rotary estimates that 80 per cent in
crease on both individuals and corpora
tons for 1916. collectible next June,
would yield S165. 100000 additional. For
1917 he points out that TO lower the in
come tax exemption from $1,000 to ST.
500 for unmarried persons. from $4,000
TO $1,000 for married persons. TO leave

raise the super taxes materially,
would make the law produce S340.OO0.-
GOO additional in JuEe. 1918, without
changing the corporation tax.
