Piop. i v. TI 1 12 I'odiTnl ind'uHti'ial relations coniniissiuii after an cxfciided probe of .social and industrial conditions found that one of the principal eaii.ses of industrial unrest was the unjust distribution of wealth and income, social injustice and poverty. The commission declared that anions the objects to be attained by legislation are the remedyini- of the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth and income and the checking of the growth of an hereditary plutoeraey, foreign to American ideals and menacing the nation's wol- lare as a democracy. One of (he objects to be attained is the reduction of the swollen, unearned fortunes of those who have a super fluity. Inheritance and income taxes can accomplish this readjustment, and such legislation was recommended by the commission. The first effort to awvy out the recommendations of the commission is the new democratic revenue bill just in troduced in congress. The bill is epoch making as it is the fii-s I attempt to shift the burdens from the shoulders of the masses upon accumulated wealth and big incomes. It will establish a national inheritance tax as a perma nent part of the fiscal system of the nation. Although such legislation is in effect in Great Hrilain and the con tinental countries, where it is recognized not only as a source of legitimate national income, but as a measure for the establishment of social justice, it has never been at tempted in the united States ami will occasion bitter op position from the reactionaries. The bill is designed to make the chief beneficiaries of preparedness pay their share of the cost, for not only in conic and inheritance taxes are provided, but a lax upon the manufacture of munitions is included. fr , ICxuerl.s sav the new bill will raise approximately ,1,(1 4 tWt iw. 1 i I . t. ajfk-.swjwv-t ,t .iw,uuu,uuu additional revenue !wuu,uuu,wuu iroin in comes; fp'(i()t(M)0,000 from inheritances and $.00,000,000 from munitions. Tho present income tax rate is boosted from one to two per cent. The super-taxes will begin at $20,000 and will increase at the rate of one per cent on each classification, until ten per cent is levied on all incomes in excess of .fofJII.OlK). The inheritance tax provisions will exempt all estates under $.")(),()()() if the testator was a resident of the state in which the property lies. If a non-resident there will be no exempt ion. The tax rales are one per cent for estales under $."0,000; two per cent for estates between $f0,000 and $lf)0,000; three per cent bclwt $1.")0,000 and $250.- 000; four per cent belAvecn $2.")0,000 and $ l."0,()00; and live per cent on estates over jjM.jO.OOO. Varying rates of taxation are imposed on munition lac lories. If receipts of a plant manufacturing gunpowder and explosives do not exceed a million dollars, a tax of five pur cent is laid, hight per cent js demanded where re ceipts are in excess of that sum. A sliding scale of rates is also provided for cartridges and other munitions of war. While to accomplish enduring social reform, the in heritance tax should be made heavier, the bill is a start in the right direction. It establishes an entering wedge for the reduction of swollen, unearned fortunes, which must be reduced to restore eiualit, of opportunity. Such legislation is the best kind of preparedness it is prcpaivdiiiss for j e;i-c, GENERA RESULTS L OF ALLIED DRIVE i: 1 SATISFACTORY I'AHIB, July 8.
