The Worst Revenue Device

The measure now being dragooned
through Congress is no doubt the
worst of all possible revenue bills,
but probably its very worst feature
is the proposed retroactive imposi-
ton of a so per cent increase upon
the income tax for last year. This
is not only uneconomic but immoral;
it amounts to a breach Of contract.
Apparently the Congress has
power to make the levy II it have the
effrontery to do so. 1t is true the
Constitution of the United States
prohibits the passage Of ex post
facto laws; but the courts have held
that the restriction only applies to
criminal acts. A measure affecting
Evil interests may be outrageous,
yet may remain valid. But whether
valid or not, the retroactive income
tax grab is justifiable neither on the
ground of necessity nor fair play.
To the Government, the amount
involved is relatively unimportant.
It can easily be made up in the fu-
ture in any one of q dozen different
ways. To the taxpayer. it is all i'm
portant because it is either demand
for money he has already spent or
else it is an assault upon his thrift,
an infringement upon his savings. In
either case it is a violation Of the
implied pact between the Govern
ment and the taxpayer which is rati-
fed when the tax for each year is
prescribed. The citizen naturally
shapes his expenditures upon the tax
rate, setting aside the necessary sum
to meet his assessment and using or
investing the balance as seems best
to him. When the Government makes
q supplementary demand, and q
heavy one, the citizen feels that he
has been tricked and cheated-and he
has.
There is no desperate financial
crisis to justify playing fast and
loose with the taxpayers. In fact
there is no crisis of any sort save
that which a lot Of hysterical politi-
clans are creating by their bad judR-
ment and wild talk. There is need of
a great deal Of money, but the money
is readily available by fair and delib-
crate methods, and there are years
and years ahead in which to correct
any trivial shortcomings Of the pres
ent year. There is no occasion what
ever for panic plans or forced draft.
This clearly dishonest and in
furious retroactive raid is all the
more offensive in view Of the numer-
Gus excellent plans for raising reve-
nue. that are being lodged by the
Committee on Ways and Means Of
the House Of Representatives. The
log rolling processes by which cotton
and beet sugar are being exempted
from their Just share in the public
burden is already notorious. The
names Of Kitchin, Lenroot, Fordney,
and other leaders" regardless of
party, are being burned into the
memory Of the people as the only
men in the country who have taken
advantage Of the war to promote and
foster narrow, sectional, and selfish
interests at the expense Of the coun-
try at large.

hecrultlukS EAst Ahe
We went. hunting yesterday. Not
for Germans, either.
II was a recruiting sergeant We
were after. A really American re-
cruiting sergeant who, with a few
literary embellishments, might serve
for a military Mr.. Dooley. an Ameri-
can Mulyaney but all in vain.
We had to give It up. There was
something too uncompromisingly busi-
nesslike and standardized and up-to-
the-minute about every one we tack
led. No time for local color in mod
ern warfare!
We padded sadly home, went
straight to the "Bigelow Papers and
consoled ourselves. These are not
the days of James Russell Lowell.
These are not the times of President
Polk and his Mexican war. Yet the
Yankee humor of the "Btgelow Pa
pers' belongs to the present situa-
tion, II only by way OF favorable
comparison.
Here, for instance, is the very
start OF them-a letter from Hosea
Bigelow's father to the editor OF the
Boston Courier:
MISTER EDDYTER-Our Hosea

Mr.. Lowell was not all pacifist,
either. He wrote some Later Bige-
low Papers" to suit the civil war: and
here is how he ended them, in an
address to Peace itself-the only sort
of Peace, there is little doubt but
he would have wanted II he, once
our ambassador at the Court of St
James, were alive today:
