HOW WEALTH WILL PAY.

Many people whose incomes are be- low $5,000 per annum are prone to be- lieve that those with larger incomes, that the very wealthy, are not being called upon to bear fair share of the burden of war cost in the United States. This is wrong. as the Satur- day Evening Post points out in an ed itorial in the current issue: The Post says:
 Smiths income is $5000 year. He bought Liberty bonds of the sec ond issue. The government pays him 4 per cent, net, on the money invested in them.
 'Rockefeller's income is $5,O00,O0O a year, and more. He bought Liberty bonds of the second issue. The gov ernment pays his 1 F per cent, net on the money invested in them-on1y a little over a third as much as 1t pays Smith for his money.
 War debts of all the chief Euro pean belligerents now amount to more than third of the total estimated na tional wealth before the war. It is a formidable burden and d good many schemes are proposed for shoulderins it upon wealth.
 "The graduated income tax does shoulder the burden upon wealth. The surtax takes 63 per cent of very rich mans income, nothing at all from an income up to $5,0O0, and 1 per cent from an income between $5.000 anc $7,5oo
 For Rockefeller the effect is prac l tically the same as tho the govern ment invited him to buy a certain amount of bonds and then cancelled the interest on two-thirds of them. He may sell his government bonds; bu that does not help him, for the ta, Twill take the same proportion of his income, however derived"
