The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of BRUN f Are the British rich in Immediate danger of being taxed off the British Isles’ This is a question that is be ing asked seriously. The British press day by day echoes the despairing pro tests of the well to do against the rap idly increasing burdens of taxation, of which no man knows the end. The prediction is freely made by English men of affairs resident of this coun try that any substantial increase in taxation will be followed by an exodU3 of the British well to do, and espe cially of the British rich from the British isles. They will seek in this country or some other a haven where the idea of taking away the property of those who have it to give it to those who have none does not obtain. The Englishman pays a tax when he Inherits property. He pays an Income tax on his rent als and on his salary. • He pays a tax on his automobile. He pays a tax on all stock exchange transactions. He pays’a tax on all his land and on all increase in land values. He pays, in addition to the rent of his dwelling, taxes fog lighting, pav ing and police protection. , He pays a ta# for the privilege of wearing a ring with a crest on it, and a tax for putting armorial bearings on his carriage. He pays a tax for bls carriage, his dog, his gun and his pistol. m orrmr isirs He pays a tax for the privilege of shooting game. He pays a tax on every servant. He pays a tax when he dies—or his estate does and leaves property. “Americans have little idea of the various taxes that are imposed In England,” says a writer on the sub ject. “If you are a renter and pay, say $300 a year rent, you would be obliged to pay not less than $'J0 addi tional, which would cover the light ing. paving and police protection. But richer people are caught in all sorts of ways. For instance, in England I would pay $5 a year for the privilege of wearing this ring. It carries a crest and if I had a carriage with armorial bearings upon it I would be obliged to pay $10 a year for that privilege. When a man dies his estate must pay a tax of 1 per cent on every- thing, if his estate is below $2,500 in value; 2 per cent on $5,000, 3 per cent on $50,000, 4 per cent on $125,- 000, 4 >-2 per cent on $200,000, 5 per cent on $225,000, 5>2 per cent on $500,- 000, 6 per cent on $750,000, 7 per cent on $1,250,000, 8 per cent on $2,500,000, 9 per cent on $3,750,000, and 10 per cent on $5,000,000. “Perhaps the greatest burdens which the land owner is subject to are on account of the poorhouses, which are maintained at great ex pense, ami on account of the new pol icy of old age pensions; that is. pen sioning any one over a certain age w ho hasn't an income of $2 50 a week. The great question that is being con sidered tn England apparently is not what to do with the unemployed, but with the unemployable. The people who have saved money and have made the most of their opportunities appar ently will be obliged to take care of those who have not taken care of themselves and who never could take care of themselves.” The amount of the graduated death duties, or inheritance taxes, collected in the United Kingdom, which has a population of 44.000,000 and upward, ranges from $90,000,000 to $95,000,- 000 annually out of a total internal revenue of $470,000.000 to $480.000,- 000. It is drawn from more than 67,- 000 estates. The revenue from the death dues is a little more than half that from excise imposts, and consid erably more than half the amount real ized from the income tax. HOW THE WRIGHT AIRSHIP IS STARTED.
