There was not a country in
Europe then which did not impose
a far heavier income tax than the
modest levy of per cent suggested
in the ill-starred income tax bill.
ONE may ask the same question
~ today: WHITTIER will they
fy?" Here in America a 100000
s-year man, even without the usual
deductions, would pay about 500
600 in income taxes. In England
he would have to pay $4,000.
There are countries where income
taxes are lower, but alas! invest
ment there is pretty precarious.
For instance, the rate in Ger
many is much smaller than in the
United States. Would any
American intrust his investments
to Germany now, with a govern
ment built upon a recent revolution
and with vast expenditures for
ornaments which will have to be
met by appalling tax imposts?
The rate in Italy is even smaller.
But Italy approaches bankruptcy.
And if the American had his in
vestments in Italy, he would have
TO turn them all over to the Bank
OF Italy and receive for them Ital-
ian bonds on which he would draw
interest in Italian lire. And how
long are we to suppose that the
lire will be worth very much, with
a government tottering toward
bankruptcy and imitation under the
weight of a small war with back
ward country?
EOR that matter what European
II country, in a Europe torn by
war rumors and on the verge of
disaster, would any American
select as a refuge for his ex-
patriated dollars? AS things are
Europeans have been sending their
money here. We have gotten
about a billion and half dollars
of it In the last year-European
money in flight from the dangers
there.
Whittier then will the frightened
American tax dodger fly? When
BRYAN asked in Congress Whittier
will they fiy?" some member called
out, ITO Monte Carlo" Bryan,
with that amazing faculty he had
for ready response to interruption,
replied: Then to Monte Carlo he
will 60. and there he will give up
to the wheel of fortune all of that
wealth of which he would not give
part to the country which
enabled him to make it "

rested here last month on charges of writing policy. All nine are rep- resented by Atty. Cassidy.
 The two lawyers held brief con- ference this morning, and arranged 70 resume their discussion this af- ternoon. It is the defendants and lawyers claim that the charge against them does not afford him enough opportunity to prepare a defense. He seeks to have the states attorney give him detailed informa tion ill each of the cases, with the names of those securing the evi- dence and the nature of the evil Gence.
 It is possible that the cases will go to trial as early as Thursday of this week. Trial of Dr. Gerardo Petrocelli and Daniel Lavirie is cx- pected to be over by Wednesday night, which would leave the way clear for opening the policy trials Thursday.
 Unless unforeseen new develop ments arise, each of the nine men will be tried separately. In such a case, the present criminal term o1 superior court will be prolonged in. definitely. All nine have pleaded not guilty and have elected tria by jury.
 If the policy cases do not reach court Thursday, they will almost certainly start trial next week.
 The nine men were arrested by the police vice squad last month on bench warrants charging them with writing policy. The informa- tion on which the arrests were based is said to have been gathered in February by special investigators.
