AN INCOME TAX.

The

Theory Advanced That II is liwaimc It. Will Mlike the ... liieh Suffer.

Just

To the Editor The Journal. Wherein lies the injustice of an income tax except that it gores the other fellow's ox. Are the incomes of capitalists more sacred to them than the daily wants and necessities of life are to the laborer? Under the beneficent operations of a protective tariff we tax the latter not only to raise revenue for the support of the Government but to protect manufacturers and in some instances the tax thus raised goes directly and solely to the manufacturer. An income tax is for the purpose of revenue only, hence whatever amount of revenue thus raised goes directly into the public treasury. If the revenue thus raised was divided between the Government and the manufacturers it might afford serious cause for complaint, but as it is divested of all the objectionable features of a protective tariff we can see no reason why it should not meet with the hearty approval of the people everywhere outside the realm of plutocracy. If the revenues of the Government were based on income alone would it not insure a more equitable distribution of its burthens and prevent the alarming concentration of capital in the hands of the few? If such a policy had been adopted twenty years ago it is very questionable whether "23,000" men would now own half of the wealth of the nation. Neither would we have our 4,000 millionaires. Under our present economic system these 23,000, with their almost inestimated wealth, pay no more, if as much, into the National Treasury as the same number of laborers. who consume each and every day's wages as fast as it is earned. The manifest injustice of such a system is so apparent that it needs no elucidation. But we are told it is "class legislation," which we admit, but it is a class that are amply able to pay. The feet of the gaunt wolf of hunger has never tread the marble steps of their gorgeous palaces. Neither has the cry of want disturbed the peace and happiness of the,r homes. But we are told that these beneficiaries of financial legislation for the last twenty years will commit perjury if we undertake to collect a tax on their incomes. Well, suppose they do. Is that any reason why we should not do our duty? Must we surrender our connections of justice and right on account of the moral turpitude of a class? Place the burthens of the Government on the wealth of the people and economy will at once become the watchdog of the public treasury. The stereotyped argument against an income tax on "class legislation." "war measure,'" "tax on thrift." "infamous,' etc.. etc. Is it not the prerogative of of the legislature to determine whether duties shall be specific or ad valorem, whether duties shall be levied on production or consumption? Denunciation. sarcasm and epithets have long since ceased to be arguments. We have a tariff tax of 82.50 per gallon on whiskey and an internal tax of 90 cents per gallon. We hear not a whisper about this class legislation, nor the infamy of it. Think of it, only 25 to 30 cents worth of property demanding and receiving S2.50 protection almost solely in the interest of distiller ies but then they compensate for this infamous legislation by paying 90 cents per gallon to the government. But the crime of this legislation is condoned in the fact that the consumers of this favored product bear the burdens of this infamous class legislation.

Thus it is that all the taxes now levied on production is shifted to and borne by the consumers. Does not justice demand that revenue taxes be taken off of the wants, necessities and the enjoyments of life and placed on ac cumulated wealth? Is wealth to be enthroned as king-, at whose shrine our enslaved people shall worship?

Valentine day has come and gone. The postoflice department was busy Tuesday night and Wednesday but were so unfortunate as to be out of one centers. Some handsome valentines were sent and received, but the day which was once almost sacred in the eyes of young lovers has degenerated into a day when silly boys and girls send beastly pictures to those they have a grudge against.

Quite an exciting scene occurred at Linnsburg last Monday morning. As two tramps approached the little village carrying a small parcel. T. E Kincaid notified the constable odd the whole north seemed to rise. People came rushing in on all sides. The police immediately arrested them on suspicion that they had stolen T. E. Ivincaid's best Sunday shoes. When searched they had nothing in their grip but brickbats and a snow ball for their dinner.
