AS against this bourgeois kind, the
International Workers Order prac-
tees a proletarian fraternalism. Be-
ing ? workers' fraternal order, it bases
its exceptions and practices of fra
ternalisn on workers interests.
First, it teaches that proletarian
fraternalism is an effort Of workers
to solve one Of their immediate eco
nomic problems.
Second, it shows that the problem
to be solved, the economic insecurity
Of the workers, is caused by capitalist
exploitation.
Third it insists that the solution Of
this problem requires workers solidar-
ity against the capitalists.
Fourth, it teaches that the eco
nc1ic insecurity Of the workers is a
social problem which must be solved
by an immediate social remedy, and
that this remedy is social insurance
Fifth, it shows that the severity OF
the problem can be lessened by the
establishment Of safe ard sanitary
working conditions and that the
achievement Of such conditions re-
quires militant indust ial union or
garization and struggles,
Sixth, it emphasizes that the SEEM
ing differences among the workers az
to language, religion, political beliefs
etc, must not be permitted to stand
in the way Of unity of the workers
in their fraternal efforts, because only
united action of the workers will en-
able them to solve their problems.
Seventh, it consciously leads tbs
workers to the conclusion that the
only basic solution for the sufferings
and ills of the workers caused by
capitalist exploitation is to make ar
end to the system Of capitalism and
its exploitation.
Enlarge Fighting Army
Proletarian fraternalism as prac-
ticed by the International Workers
Order is therefore a class struggle
function. It is contribution TO the
efforts of combating capitalist ex-
ploitation and Of defeating 1t.

Order, therefore, is an effort 10 en-

600 900 for the corresponding six-month
period OF last year to $742,000, 900 for
the last six months. This Is an in
crease Of 81 per cent. Government
estimates are that income tax receipts
for the fiscal year 1884 will be $117,-
O00, 900 more than for the fiscal year
1888, and that income tax receipts for
1885 will be $518, ,00G, 900 more than for
the fiscal year 1888. II we look for
ward to the fiscal year 1885, which be-
gins July this year, believe that
governmental revenues for that period
will exceed by S2,000,000,0 900 the reve-
nues for 1888.
New Tax Measure.
We expect to pass another tax meas
ure during this session Of Congress. It
will deal largely with the administra-
tive features Of the income tax law.
Its object will be to prevent evasion
of tax payments Today a person OF
substantial wealth, instead of paying
the surtaxes on his income, oftentimeS
avoids such surtaxes by incorporating
his holdings and allowing such corpo-
ration to receive the income from his
investments.
In this way only the corporate tax Is
paid, and the individual pays no sur
taxes unless the corporation makes a
distribution of dividends. This law
will be amended so as to prevent the
avoidance Of surtaxes by the accumu-
lation Of corporate surpluses. We ex-
pect also. to obtain considerable addi-
tional revenue from income taxes by
preventing losses sustained from the
sale of capital assets from being
charged of against ordinary income.
Under the present law great chains
OF corporations have been built up and
the payment Of taxes. The theory has
Evening star., 1934-01-18

been that the tax Is postponed. Pras-
tice has shown that In most cases the
tax Is Indefinitely postponed. These
provisions Of the law must be fewrit-
ten and restricted In such . manner
as to prevent tax avoidance.
We do not intend to make any In
creases In the existing tax rates and
no new taxes are contemplated. We
realized that some profit must be left
to the individual and corporation from
the operations of their business, or
else all incentive to engage In business
will disappear, but we will endeavor by
appropriate legislation to make every
person pay his fair share OF tax based
ON his true net income, whether that
person be an individual or corpora
ton.
To me the most pleasing part Of the
situation Is that we are well on the
road to recovery. Already four taxes
imposed last year, amounting to 1927, :
000, 900, have been eliminated as re-
suit Of the repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment. Just as soon as the con-
dition OF the Treasury will permit, we
will carry forward a further plan of
tax reduction. Improved business will
be the greatest factor in bringing in
creased revenue to the Government.
Improvement In business Is no longer
q mere hope; It Is an evident fact. We
are winning the fight and the victory
will soon be ours.

one-half billions Of dollars. Why,
from 1920 to 1924 the total annual
revenue Of the Government averaged
four and three fourth billion dollars.
This is one and one-fourth billion dol
lars in excess Of the amount that might
be required for our ordinary expendi-
lures and debt retirement under the
most unfavorable Interpretation.
We are very much encouraged, and
I hope you will be, when I explain our
present tax situation and the yield we
hope to obtain without increasing the
present burden. There are many rea-
sons for this optimism.
First. the repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment and the recent rate in
creases on alcoholic liquors give q new
ond, our special sales taxes nearly all
show marked increases in productivity.
indicating beyond question greater
volume OF sales. Third, all reports in
dicate not only greater volume Of sales
for 1888 than for 1882, but also greater
profits.
Tax on Liquor.
Government experts estimate that
the total consumption Of distilled spirits
will amount to 40,000,00 gallons an
nually. We have placed tax Of So
per gallon on distilled spirits and from
that item we expect to obtain $780,
100000 annually. But that Is not all.
About 25.000,000 gallons Of the 140,-
100000 will be imported. and the IS
per gallon customs duty ON that amount
will bring $125, 900, 900 Of revenue in
addition to the internal revenue tax.
From occupational taxes and from the
tax on rectifled spirits, the Govern
ment will obtain about S37,000,000 ad-
ditional. This will make a total on
distilled spirits Of $442 100000. The
gallonage taxes and duties on wines
and the occupational taxes In connec-
tion Herewith should yield S25, 1000, 900
annually. This amound added to the
revenue from distilled spirits will give
us a total Of $467. .000, 900 Of new reve-
nue.. Adding this total to the $780,
100000 which we expect to receive
from the beer taxes. we have q grand
total revenue from these alcoholic bev-
erages Of $627, ,0OO,0 900.
