BY ii. +. BURTON

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.--Declaring
that the present income tax is
greatly increasing the cost of living
and placing undeserved burdens on
the poor, while not costing the rich
anything like a proporuonate
amount in the final analysis. Theo-
dorc Price, famous American finan.
clal expert. came forward today and
demanded n new national taxation
system. This system. he says.
should be built around n tax levied
on capital instead OF an income as
at present.
In forthcoming issue of his
paper. Commerce and Finance"
Price will say this on the subject;
"The time has arrived when some
revision of the income tax law ought
to be made. II is greatly aggra-
waiting the initiation and materially
increasing the cost of living. In
order to recover the tax that must
be paid to the government everyone
is demanding larger profit on his
goods. n bigger price for his prop
erty and higher interest rates on his
capital. The word 'spiralysis' has
been coined to describe the result.

have advanced to figures that are in
many cases absurd because the
larger capitalists cannot dispose OF
their holdings without mourning an
income tax liability that would abb

THE theory upon which the gradu-
ated super tax was imposed as
sumed that It was possible TO take
from the rich without mulcting the
