TAX INCOMES
Congressman Hall of Mlitouri i a strong
advocate of an incoms tax. He has not
prepared a bill but he has prepared the
following statement of principle;
FirVt Funded inveatmenta ahould be
taxed without exemption and be maJe the
standard of the maximum tax.
Second Net personal earnings should be
halved In all calculations in order to re
duce them to the basis of the maximum fax
rite.
Third Capital invested In business
thou'd have Its income taxed at a funded
rate.
Fourth After deducting from the cross
Income of a business man the fundtd rate
on his capital, the balance is to be consider
ed as personal earnings to be treated as
provided under section 2.
Fifth Income from land should bt tax
ed at funded value after exemptions of
betterment, amelioratlan or Improvement.
As to exemption, all incomes beljw
$2500, deilved under sections 2, 3 and 4
ahould be tree of t?x as well as those under
I, if necessary to pievent a double tax on
the same income. The rate of tax on all
incomes above $2500 should te 5 per cent.
Mr Hall says:
"In the year 1SS9. 63,000,000, or about
$1 per capita, were collected from the con
sumers of woolen goods, cotton goods, and
Iron and steel for the purpose of revenue
for the United States. It is safe to say, on
a conservative estimate, that, in order to
secare this revenue, it cost the people of
the United States $450,000,000, the bal
ance being paid as a bounty to the manu
factuiing establishments of the United
States. In other words, for every dollar
placed in the treasury of the United States
there were $7 put in the pockets oi the
.protected manufacturers. Now if we had
had an Income tax that would have yielded
$63,000,000, the consumers of cotton goods,
woolen goods, and Iron and steel manufac
tures in this countr wou'.d have saved
$450,000,000 vtarly, an amount almost
equal to the state, county and local taxes
of nearly every state of the union combined.
"Mr Thomas G Shearman, who appeared
before this committee a few weeks ago, es
timates that 25,000 persons in the United
States own 831,500,000,00 worth of prop
erty. Put the income upon this property
at 5 per cent, and it would yield annually
8157,500,000; and putting.tho income tax at 5
per cent on this amount we would have the
handsome sum of $7,S7 5,000 yielded from
tills source aloi.e. Placing the estimate of
the number of persons In New York, Phil
adelphia, Eoston and Chicago who have
Incomes of $250,000 at 1,200, we should
derive from that tourc an income tax of I
912,500,000 annually.
"According to the figuiesof one of our
ablest statisticians, under the present system
of indirect taxation ii,6jo,ooo families, who
average frjCS annual Income to the family,
pay 90 per c:nt cf the taxes of this govern
ment, m l not on!y to the government, but
to the protected manufacturers and monop
olists, while iS:,o9i families that average
8-3S,:35 annual incom to the family, do
not pay more than 3 per cent of the gov
ernmental revenues. In Great Britain,
where they have an Income tax, such a
condition of things could not exist, and it
is this argument more than any other, In
my judgment, that has kept In existence
the present income tax law of England for
over 50 years, and Its writers admit that It
is now on a firmer bads than it ever was.
'One of the objections urged to the in
come tax is that is inqusttorlal in Its charac
ter, and that a great many persons would
evade guch taxation by perjury. Ic does
not lie In the mouth of any advocate of our
present system of taxation In the states to
urge this objection. Would any reasonable
man take the position that it is any more
unjust or Inquisitorial to require the wea'thy
class to state upon oath their wealth and
income, and does It place any greater re
ward upon Perjury than the Hesent state
tax system that requires every man In the
ala'e, every farmer throughout the country,
to furnish a sworn list cf his propcityt
giving the number of hop sheep, horses,
grain, watches, sewing machines, bank
deport', bonds and notes? It seems to me
that some of the greatest dliticullies urged
agiiost tha income tax dissolve upon closer
examination of its real merits. The funda
mental principal is that the basis of taxation
I s the protection which one receives from
the goTernment for the year for which the
taxation U collected.
In closing his remarks Mr Hall called
a'.tention to the fact that foi the last eigh
teen years the Knights of labor and the
'National dangers representing more thao
4,000,000 men who work wl:h their hands
have asked with one voice for an income tax
law, while within a short time many
wealthy men, and especially George Gould
had admitted the justness and wisdom of
such a ax.
In the election of a full set of officers fo,
the city government at the coming city
election care should be taken to secure those
who will guard the Interests of the city well.
Economy in public expenditures, equal and
exact justice to tl! tax payers of the city
and special privileges to none would be
very safe as well as a vety heaNiy rule
adopt in the management of city affairs
It Is Ur more important that we have safe,
careful 11 it rubers of the couman counc
than that we should have republicans, dem
ocrats, or populists, as such , for such officials
The people 6hou'd awaken to the best
tereets ot the c ty at the coming city election
as it may be the point upon which ma
hinge the future properity of the dry.
