During depressions and readJust-
ment periods, such as we are passing
through, there are many and varied
proposals for remedying the situation
through new taxation schemes. But
one thing must be borne in mind and
that is that we cannot squeeze blood
from a turnip. There is no use trying
to pile still more taxes onto the backs
of the masSes-the conSumerS-for 1t
will not work. When we tax profits,
as is the case in the net income,
estate, gift and inheritance taxes, we
are getting at the right source. When
we tax buying power we are slowing
up business, making it harder for
people of modest incomes, and re-
tarding the return of prosperity.
Net Income Tax Easy to Pay.
In the state of Minnesota the net
graduated and progressive income tax
was made law in the 1888 regular
session of the Legislature, but should
have been, and would have been law,
years ago had there been more pro-
gressive members in the Legislature.
1t eXempts from income taxation
single persons to the extent of $1,000
and married persons $4,000. There
is also the exemption of $3.50 for each
dependent and deductions for payment
of other taxes, money paid out to
church and charity and other minor
deductions before the tax is applied,
which is graduated from 1 per cent
up to per cent. Corporations have
$1,000 exemption and the same rates
as in the case of individuals apply.
The exemptions were adopted be-
cause folks of modest incomes have
enough general property taxes to pay,
if not directly then indirectly through
rents.
Receipts from the tax go to the
public school system of the state on
the basis of children of compulsory
school age residing in each district,
regardless of whether they attend
public or parochial schools, and it is
thus distributed evenly out over the
state irrespective of where collected.
The school burden being greater than
the township, village, city, county or
state, the income tax money goes to
the fund where most needed and is
replacement tax as much as is hu-
manly possible to make it so, by
constitution or statute.
Based on Ability to Pay.
The receipts from the net income
tax in Minnesota for the year 1888,
payable in 1884, will amount to in
the neighborhood of S3,O0O,OO0 This
is not nearly as much as the tax
would amount to in normal times, if
the wheels of industry were moving
and folks were earning more, even
with the present rates of taxation,
but it is a good step in the right
direction. 1t must also be remem-
bered that it required years of edu-
cation and agitation to get this law
on the statute books. 1t is written
without constitutional limitations and
can be amended at any session of the
Legislature. 1t is a tax based on the
ability to pay, levied on folks who
earn enough so that it does not hurt
them to pay it, tax on profits, and
a tax that the one assessed should be
glad and willing to pay.
History proves that in states where
the net graduated and progressive in
come tax has been made law, it is
usually followed by an attempt to
