EARNING 1T.

Emerson tells us that most men are
as lazy as they dare to be. Some are
planning how they can be lazier still
and get away with IT, Conferences of
men are held TO discuss "rfow Can
We Raise Our wages?" Why do we
pct hear of conferences on "IIow
Can We Earn Our pay7"
Writers on success for young men
usually devote most OF their room to
talking about money as the be-all
and the end-all As the incentive and
halt to the reader. they offer sure
fire recipes for getting rich in a hurry
Riches aud success are regarded by
these writer's as synonyms.
Much Is said of the money that re-
wards the effort, but not enough is

ATTEMPT AT TYRANNYg


Editor. Every Evening: 1 would. Iike
to ask some of the people who are in
favor of justice. just a few questions
and would like to do it through your
paper:
Was there not an error made in
the original law providing for the in
come tax?
If not. why was it repealed?
Was the original income tax law
unreasonable?
/ Does not our Constitution clearly
read that any law that is unreason>
aPie IS unconstitutional?
Does not the law clearly state.
that, TO correct errors the assessors
list shall be passed into the hands Of
a representative board, and errors and
inequalities shah be corrected?
Is not Delaware the only state in
the Union that passed a law to tax
man with a family on an income ex-
ceeding 1000?
How is Mr.. Fisher going to get the
hundreds Of single men who were here
in 1919 and made big money in the
shipyards. and have left town and
State?
And by what authority does a sue
ceeding attorney general reverse the
decisions of his predecessor
The writer of these questions is
trying TO raise a family and buy
home. have been threatened with
penalties for not paying the income
tax on two different occasions.
Now in conclusion / viii state that

THE STATE INCOME TAXES.

y
tits not surprising that those of our
citizens who paid their State income
taxes for 1919. to the amount of the
bills rendered them by the State trea-
snrer. should be resentful at the pur-
pose Of the treasurer to collect from
year. Believing when they paid that
they had settled in full with the State
for that occasion. the intention to col
lecs additional amounts naturally seems
like an imposition,
This situation arose from the enact
ment. by the Legislature of 1919, Of
sn amendment to the State Income
Tax law which operated to bring about
q reduction. The bills were rendered
IN accordance with the presumed in
tent OF this law. the opinion having
been given to the State traeasurer
But Attorney-Generai Townsend now
says this amendment did not become
operative until 1890. and so the State
treasurer holds that the taxables who
paid the 1919 income taxes did not pay
sil that was due by them. and that he
will now proceed TO collect the bal
ances due. even though resort to legal
process should be necessary.
A reading of the law seems to thor
oughly sustain the ruling by Attor-
ney-General Townsend, but that will
be no satisfaction to the taxpayers
of that year who believed they had
settled the States claims in full. and
they are disposed to resist attempts
TO compel them to make additional
payments. In fact, a different CON
struction Of the law having been ac-
cepted in the first place, and tax
cord with that construction, nothing
that can now be advanced in support
of the legality or propriets of the later
construction will serve to even miti-
gate the general and emphatic pro-
tests against the additional 1919 ex-
actions.
1t has been suggested that the next
Legislature, if the matter should come
before it. would straighten this tangle
by a further amendment to the law
which would relieve the 1919 taxables
OF any responsibility for additional
income taxes for that year. This
would be a very reasonable and proper
manner of settling the controversy.
But the State treasurer insists upon
endeavoring to make collection.
There is another element in the con-
sideration Of this question, which en-
phasizes the reasonableness of the
proposition that the collection of the
additional 1919 income taxes be held
in abeyance until the Legislature can.
have opportunity to pass upon the pro-
priety Of enforcing their payment. 1t
is one that involves the administra-
'tion of the Income Tax law in its en-
tirety and from the time it became
e17erative. Also, it involves consid-
GRAFTON of the manner in which the
law has been administered.
According to official statement, there
are about $4,000 citizens of Delaware
who pay the income taxes assessed by
the Federal government. AS the sa-
hent features of the Federal and State
laws are about the same, there should
be a like number of State taxables.
But it is stated that the number Of
hose who have been paying State
income taxes is less than half the
number OF those who-have paid Fed |
ral income taxes.
