SOCIALISTS OPPOSE
STATE INCOME TAX

The State income tax law was hs
target Of a spirited attack at a special
meeting OF the organization COMMITTEES
Of the Socialist party last evening. In
dignation Of the better paid workers OF
Wilmington at the proposed collection
.,vas freely commented on, and II was
decided that the facilities OF the party
be offered for the formation OF an Or
ganized opposition TO the collection OF
the tax.
A resolution, offered by w. II. Con-
ner, was unanimously adopted. The
resolution said in part:
1T attempts TO do what has never
been done in this State before. so for
as we have knowledge. viz. direct
taxation of wages and such tax strikes
at those least able 90 bear 1.-THE work
crs OF bravn and muscle.
"Wo do not propose an income tax
In principle. but we regard income suit
able for taxation under such law. and
under the present economic system, as
that income flowing from investments.
from bonds, stocks rents and the like;
In word, income arising from own
ing. and not from working. Many peo-
pie live by owning things doing no
useful work; Il is such income which
should be subject 30 a tax.
THE tax Is incquitable and "a class
legislation. The rural districts, who.
have 40 representatives in the Legisla-
ture as compared 10 the seven from
Wilmington have cunningly contrlyrd
10 escape The tax by inserting this
Joker In the law. that tho income de-
rived from agricultural operations
shall be exempt from tax. The tax law
clearly violates the constitutional pro-
vision that all taxes shall be Uniform
ON lhc same classes OF subjects within
the territorial limits OF tho authority
levying The tax.
"The setting Of such a low limit or
exemption -siOO0-is absurd"
