Julius Rosenwald Declares
Preseht Scheme Is Unfair
to Majority of People.
PENALTY ON INDUSTRY
Vif Tax on Hal Zatat But
' . ; Would Sxompt Personal
Property.
Chicago,- Jan. 9. Everyone in the
United States having an income of
more than $1000 a year ought to pay
an income tax.
The prcnent federal Income tax is
claag legislation and unfair. It placets
penalty on about 5 per cent of the
entire cltUenohip. It begin too high
and no part of it la reasonable.
an income of more than 11000, whether
It be from wage, salary, profit, in
terests or rent. Ought to pay a tax.
There'ehould be a tax on real estate.
but none on personal property.
The foregoing opinion as to the tax
system of the. country was expressed
by Julius Rosenwald, multimillion
aire head . of Bears. Roebuck & Co.,
America' biggest mall order house.
: All Should Pay Share.
Mr. Hoscnwald's ideal taxing plan
would be one to have all citizens share
alike the burdens of government. He
would make those having great, mod
erate and small incomes pay In pro
portion! to their revenues to defray
the expenses of the country. ' He
would jftsempt personal property, but
nothing; else.
Personal property, in its legal clas
sification, 'includes everything not at
tached ko the soil. That would em-
ooay siocks or mercnanaiae, nego
tiable 'papers, stocks, bonds, accumu
lations bf money and all the working
capital of manufacturers and mer
chants (that is not invested in real
estate.
"Germany has the wisest taxing
laws," added Mr. Rosenwald. "In that
country everyone having an Income
of morel than 1500 a year must con
tribute to the yepense of government.
manitrMao. Taxed.
VThe present plan of taxation penal
ises industry and puts the cost of gov
ernment 1 on consumption. ' All goods
made and sold must now have added to
their cpt whatever taxes are levied.
A heavy J personal property assessment
is then an Indirect tax upon goods that
all classes consume. Persons having
incomes iiess man j.uuu are maae oy
this-means to defray government ex
penses. If the taxes were levied upon
those wsose revenue exceeds $1000 a
year- invy snuutu ion umuu . ti cxbhb
financially better able to stand the
burden."! i
Mir. Rosenwald expressed ithe above
definite ideas as to how the system of
taxation Sought to be modified, but dis
claimed fall intention of entering any'
campalg' to procure such changes.

New Aircraft Gun
Effective in Tests
Sear Admiral Strauss Says Power of
American Weapon Makes It Sanger
ons to! Aeroplanes and Sixiglbles.
i . i f
Was tiling ton. Jan. 9. Tests demon
strating the effectiveness of the Amer
ican navy's anti-aircraft gun have
; been reported to the house naval com
mittee by Rear Admiral Strauss, chief
of the bureau of ordnance. This
' weapon. ' used years ago fori other pur
poses, has been developed to bring
, down hostile aeroplanes and dirigibles,
"It will be competent to deal with
air-craft." Admiral Strauss reported.
"We have tried It against -a kite at
1000 fee altitude, a sufficient altitude
to determine that it is valuable for
the purpose. Of course, that is not the
final altitude at which lan aircraft
would dperate, but we are enabled to
iudge from the success that we had
at that range what we would have at
a highef altitude. The range of that
gun in (the air Is about 700 feet. It
Is not 4uite as large as tpe gun they
use in England, but it is quite aim
liar." j . ,;
A supplemental statement by the
admiral! shows that the navy manufac
tured at Indian Head proving grounds
8.3S2.38J8 pounds of powder, at a cost
of 38 and a fraction cent .a pound.

could build, 14 -Inch guns at the wash-'
Ingtoni gun factory at an estimated
cost of $96,000 each, compared with
$101,000 paid for similar guns made
by contract. !
