IKC0J1E TAXES T1IEOUV AND FACT.
Two principal objections are urged
against an income tax. One is tbat it is
iu'iuisilorial and the other that it cannot
be collected.
Let us sec. Their favorite system of
raising revjnue in this country is by tariff
duties. The income tax is meant to take
the place of excessive tariff exactions. 1
it more inquisitorial than a sys'om whih
opens every trunk, explores the stock
underwear, turns it out on the dock and
compels even refined and delicate women to
expose to rude official gaz9 the reservatins
of the toilet itself?
Is it more inquisitorial than a system
which plants spies all ever Kurope, and
sends them on board transatlantic steamers
to worm themselves into and betray the
confidence of their fellow passengers?
Is it more inquisitorial than a system
which ehiiius and exercises the right to
subject even the persons of travelers to
earth ?
All that an income tax system asks is an
honest report cf eacii man's earnings orer
and above exemptions. It does not pulilUh
the facts. It does not in any way invade
Ibe home, the wardrobe or the person of the
taxpayer.
But the income tax cannot be collected,
wearetoM. Is that a fact? It was col
lected from 1G3 to 1S70. I luring those
eight years it yielded revenue to the gov
ernment as follows:

:tt.7!U.8.-i).W
7.775,871.02
During this period the law was several
times changed, usually in ways to lessen its
exactions; yet in each form that it took it
showed a tendency to produce a steadily
increasing revenue, though that revenue
might be less than under the preceding and
more exigent law.
Even so crude an income tax law as that
which was in force from 18G3 to 1870 yield
ed an avdrage annual revenue of about
0,0O0,00O, which is just about the am
ount now needed to meet the deficiency
created by the effort to lessen the taxes up
on the necessaries of lifo and to set manu -factures
free from the burdens of taxed raw
materials.
To say that such a tax caunot be collected
is to deny the facts of history and to main -tain
a wholly groundless assumption. It is
also to ignore othsr facts open to every
man's observation. The majoiity of the
incomes to be taxed are perfectly easy of
ascertainment. The earnings of corpora
tions are' matters of compulsory record.
Taxes assessed upon dividends will be paid
to the last cent. All great mercantile and
manufacturing enterprises have their results
record' d in systematic book accounts. A
great multitude of those to be taxed receive
their incomes in the form of sala ries or
wages, easily ascertainable. It is dilllcult
to conceive of a tax which presents fewer
difficulties of assessment and collection.
It is the fairest and least burdensome of
all taxes.
it is immeasurably less inquisitorial
than are the levies It is meant to replace.
Finally, it is a tax more easily collected
upon a basis of equity than any other that
is capab'e of yielding so large a revenue
