One of the interesting visitors in
Washington this winter is Mrs. T.
p. O'Connor, wife of the famous
"Tay Pay" editor and Irish mem
Der of parliament. Mrs. O'Connor
is a Texan by birth, and passed
much of her girlhood in Washing
ton. She was a brilliant actress
when she first met the distinguish
ed Irish journalist and politician,
and after marriage she attained
considerable reputation as a play
wright. AS hostess she also is
celebrated, and it is said that those
who are so fortunate as to be mem
'bers of the circle of friends who
gather at the entertainments at the
O'Connor home in Chelsea, near
London, esteem themselves favored.

others? Upon this problem great
minds may well differ.
Finally, a federal question is
suggested. The sixteenth amend
ment to the United States consi-
tuition provides that congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes
on income. This power having been
granted to the federal government
and enforced by federal statute,
does a similar power remain after
ward to the several states?
Upon no one of these important
questions regarding the taxing
power has the highest court of our
state given a decision, for the i'm
mediate and apparent reason that
no case has ever come before it
in which such an issue has been
raised.
1t was also conceded that the
system of taxing mines by valuing
them upon the output rather than
upon the value of the mineral I'M
der the ground was, at best, a tenn
porary system ana complaints We're
being voiced that it was both UNI
equal and discriminatory as COM
pared with the taxation of other
classes of property.
The Barnes bill, now made law,
not only provides for income tax
investigation, but makes a board of
geenral tax inquiry. specifically
mentioning mines taxes and equal
ization; and is intended to bring
about a complete new general tax
alton system in place of one which
has been put together in install
ments.
The legislature judged that as
the proposed income tax was not
depended upon for present pur-
poses, little harm and much good
could come from calm and studied
preparation for revision next Jam
uary of taxation methods.
Collection Of an income tax
wholly fails to cure tho inequalities
that are said to exist under our
system of taxation; and there is no
occasion to add TO the individual
burden of taxation, already over
whelming, if the intangible values
within the state. of which state
land and other leasehold rights are
evident instances, are written into
the assessment rolls.
The law of 1919 retained because
of gubernatorial veto is very dras-
tic. 1t provides for imprisonment
with penalties for delay in pay
ment, or any violation of provisions
Exemptions are allowed in deter
net income taxes, but ey-
erybody who receives gross income
of over $1,000 per year from all |
sources combined must make a
sworn detailed return for 1919.
1t is reported that Governor Lar |
raSolo expected the defeated in
come tax law, or the one which |
he keeps in force by vetoing re-
peal, to produce 100000 reve-
nue.. Interested citizens and bust
ness men and women should read
the act printed today in this paper
and be prepared to comply with
the law when given opportunity.
unless early litigation negatives the
act. It is proper to state here that
the governor has said that his pur-
pose in vetoing the repeal was to
invite court decisions on constitu-
uonal questions. But the status.
however, is such that returns and
payment must he made unless
taxed citizens defeat the law.
AT this early stage of the new
situation that has been created at
Santa Fe, the Journal prefers to
explain, to lay the reasons for that !
before readers rather
than to criticize those who are re-
spOnsible for it.
