There is talk of increasing the rate
and doubtless the rate must be in
creased But even the present rate
was thought by Congress to be ven
turesome--and this, though for the
unmarried man with an annual in
come of $500 the tax amounts to
the price of a postage stamp day,
We have not yet reached the limit
of the possible by any means. Yet
that postage stamp per day repre-
sents the approach to the limit.
The reason? Because taxation is
alienation. Because in these war
times the Government, through its
own vast pay roll and its control ov-
er prices, virtually fixes the stand
ard of wages itself. And because the
Government does not and will not go
through the pretense of paying fair
wages merely to take those wages
away again without recourse. If la
Dor is worth So day, it will neither
stop with the paying of 81, nor will
it pay So and then force the return
of a third or half OF it. This is what
Germany does. 1t is the thing we
abhor Resort to it would reduce

to rise above it.

the wages our labors are worth. The
Government sees that we get them.
1t does not pay us less itself, nor will
it arbitrarily take away any consid
cradle portion Of what others pay us.
But We of our own accord will accept
just as big proportion as we can of
what we earn not in money, but in
obligations of the Government-or,
