THE INCOME TAX.
Within a cod pie of weeks the law tax
ing incomes of over $4,000 per year will
be in force, and the tax will be two
cents on every dollar of income over and
above that sum. There are two opin
ions held .concerning the propriety of
taxing incomes, one of these is a nega
tive opinion, and is held by those who
have the taxable incomes ; the other is
an affirmative opinion, held by those
who have not the taxable incomes.
Senator Sherman in 1870 made the
most powerful and exhaustive argument
in favor of the Income tax, an argument
that is unanswerable, however unac
ceptable it may be. That speech will
be found beginning on page 375 of the
Appendix to the Congressional Globe of
that year, and will well repay the
trouble of procuring it by those who are
desirous of studying the subject. How
ever, a strenuous fight is going to be
made against it, and already the matter
has been taken into the courts to test
the constitutionality of the law. Adam
Smith said that a man should pay taxes
according to his income, and this long
before Pitt, in 1798, first proposed the
income tax in England. Mr. Sherman,
in his speech alluding to the establish
ing of the income tax in England, and
speaking of Sir William Pitt, says:
"Then it was, after an elaborate speech,
which meets and answers every objec
tion that has since been made to the in
come tax in practice, that he proposed a
tax of ten per cent on all the incomes of
Great Britain. After a debate running
through days and weeks, the income
tax was adopted. For years such a tax
was levied by Great Britian, falling
alone upon the wealthy of that kingdom.
For two years, I believe, it was main
tained at that rate, and then lowered
about the time of the peace of Amiens,
and then raised again ; . and during the
whole war, witb very little variation,
there was an income tax levied of ten
per cent on all the incomes of Great
Britain ; and during that time, as his
tory shows, there was vast and unequaled
prosperity in England." (The italics are
ours.) He then proceeds :
"After the war was over, a great
clamor for repeal of the income tax
came from the property holders of Great
Britain. They said that during the war
they had paid the imcome tax willingly,
because they feared the aggressions ol
the French democracy more than taxa
tion. They were willing to pay the in
come tax to preserve their privileges and
immunities."
The only revenues this government
now has is the money raised by a tax on
consumption. This raises annually
about $500,000,000. The income tax.it
is estimated; will raise about $4.0,000,
000 yearly, or one-twelfth of the total
amount, Etilt leaving the articles con
sumed by the people to pay the other
eleven-twelfths of all money necessary
to conduct the affairs of the government.
History tells us that Borne fell because
her citizens lacked patriotism, not that
they were cowardly, but because they
were not patriotic enough to submit to
taxation Rienzi, the last of the Trib
unes, and perhaps .the truest patriot
Borne ever produced, was assassinated
by the people whom he had freed from
the tyranny of the Lords, the Collonna's
the TTrsini's and others, and with him
the last remnant of old Rome was de
stroyed. That history may well be
studied by those who, receiving the
most benefits from the government, are
least willing to bear a proper share of
the taxation necessary for its existence.
It is indeed difficult to formulate a sys
tem of taxation that will bear on all
alike, as difficult as it is to make any
eystem of taxation that is palatable to
those who pay it. That the income tax
levies a burden on the rich that it does
- not on the poor, ia freely conceded ; but
that a tax levied by customs duties is
equally . unequal, and discriminates
against those who are not rich, is also
true" The tariff tax, in one respect at
least, is the least objectionable form of
tax, since we do not know when we are
paying it ; but at the same time, the
poor man, consuming practically as
ranch as his wealthier brother, pays
aa much as he towards supporting the
government. Yet the expense of pro
tecting the rich man's property should
be borne by him, as by the poor man in
proportion to the amount of the prop
erty protected.
The income tax is a just tax, but it
will not be paid for at most more than a
year or two. Why? Because we are
not patriotic enough to be taxed, and
the money kings are too powerful for
Rienzi.
We have heard the question asked in
numerable times, "Where did the
money come from that has been in circu
lation here for the past two or three
months?" The question is easily an
swered. It came from 7,000,000 pounds
of wool and 600,000 bushels of wheat.
Each sold at a low price, but the money
was left here. The mid-Columbia river
section of Oregon and Washington has
had a hard time financially for the past
two years, not because the crops were
poor or prices low, but because the
money received from them went into
the United States land office in payment
for lands. This being about over, the
money is now left here, where it will do
the most good.
Specimen Cases.
