THE ENTEKIXO WEDGE.
GEO. W. PERKINS is a speech be
fore tho Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce Saturday night on
the subject "Our Commercial Future,"
pointed out that the Income tax Is the
beginning of the' end of great fortunes
In America. If by great fortunes he
meant such aggregations of wealth as
Oirnoglo, Rockefeller, Morgan and
that class have accumulated, he Ik
onrrcct, If he means the accumula
tion of what might welll bo called for
tunes, that is from fifty to a hundred
millions, he is probably mistaken. Op
portunities are so groat In America,
that fortunes once started growing un
der certain clrcuniHtnnees cannot be
kept down lo within narrow bounds.
Now that tho principle of tho Income
tax has been admitted (o lie correct,
as Perkins states, It Is but Hie enter
ing wedge, for the principle will be
carried out sooner or laler to Its le
gitimate conclusions, a graduated in
come tax. So long as conditions re
main ns they are now this income lax
will bo reasonable, and only a proper
burden on the vast wealth which II
protocts. However, when necessity
demnnds greatly Increased revenues,
such as a great war, for Instance,
would compel, Incomes will be found
a strong beast on which to place much
of tho extra load. Tho smaller In
comes will not feel this burden much,
but tho bigger ones will be loaded to
capacity, practlcaly confiscated, ss
ns certain as that night follows day.
Tho peoplo are awakening to Hie fact
that great, wealth pays but little taxes,
for It has a way of recouping, nnd,
while ostensibly paying much, Is In
tho final show down only collecting
the tax from others nnd turning It
over as Its own sharo of the expense
of running tho government. Tho tnx
on Incomes will bo different, nnd the
graduated form of this tnx under
which tho greater the Income, the
Creator the percentage of tax, will fix
a limit to tho accumulation of vast
fortunes, Just as Perkins suggests,, be
cause the time will come when the tax
will amount, after a certain Income,
largo, of courso.ls reached it. will be
confiscatory. Such a tax would bo
Just, too, for It would be returning to
a common fund for tho benefit of all
a portion of that surplus gathered
from all, and for which tho owner
really has no use. Such a law, for In
stance, would relievo Carnegie of the
trouble he has In giving Rway his
money, for which he has no use. Tho
government would take It, Instead of
It. going Into libraries, which, In many
cases, do llttlo but to perpetuate the
nnmo of Carnegie.
However, the average newnpaper
man, and Ibe great majority of the
other folks, need not worry in advance
over what the tax Is going to do to
them, and the fellow with millions
need not. worry, for with that kind of
u bank roll, they will have plenty
left, much more limn those whom the
"Infamous" tax does not (.ouch.
THE MEXICAN HtOIII.EH.
INCI.K SAM has one of the hardest
J problems to solve in the present
problems to solve In the present
Mexican mlx-up Ihnt ho has ever
faced, .lust what to do and how to do j
it Is what Is puzzling the old man. j
Knropenns first pointed ou'. to him :
thai It w.H Ills duty to net ns a medi
ator, and so rain) and harmonize (In'
contending factions. The advice was
'(v'dlm;l good, but utterly linprac
lle'il. You can ipmIIm'c nnd use reason
lietsve-n cHlllzed human be'iigs, but
between two bulldogs, or a dozen yap
ping coyotes, mediation Is not ill all

i
"Want" ads and
tho means to accomplish anything. It
requires a club and a well bandied
club at that, Thoro Is not. a bit of pa
triotism In all th(!Bo Mexican revolu
tions. They are not started to better
conditions, to remove wrongs, but are
simply tho Mexican stylo of politics.
The only object behind any of them Is
to put the party In power out, and get
control of the government themselves,
for pecuniary reasons. Tho bunch on
each side Is Just an aggregation of po
litical pirates, ready to rob and plun
der, their enemies preferably, but their
friends nnd associates if necessary,
and tho government always.
Thoro can bo no mediation between1
these armed guerillas who are lighting
for plunder, for they have nothing to
gain by peace, unless they are In the
had, anil, as nil of a dozen factions
cannot be in control at. the same time,
there is no basis on which any com
promise or agreement may be built.
If I'nele Sam does anything nt all.
It will have to bo Intervention, or nt
least through the fear of it, and this
Is tho last resort, one that should not j
be adopted as long ns It can be avoid
ed. President Tnft Is to be commend-1
ed for his cool-headedness, and the
American people for their patience un
der very trying circumstances and
soro temptation to get nmd and do
something. Wo ns a country do not!
want Mexico; our only desire Is to see .
her at peace with herself, and dovelop-'
Ing along the lines nnd In the wnys of j
her people, which are not tho ways of j
ourH. There is no homogonloty be-
tween us, nothing In common. Wo
think, act and grow nlong different
line, and yet wo may have to Inter-1
veno, assume a load of debt and tho
responsibility for thousands of lives!
snuffed out In the fierce fighting which
would bo sure to follow Intervention
on our part It would mean tho loss
of thousands of American lives, thou
sands of desolnto homes In our own
country as well as In Mexico. It would
mean the creation of another big war
debt of another big pension list and
yet duty to ourselves, our obligation
t tho world when wo asserted tho
Monroo doctrine, may compel us to
assume tho responsibility, sacrifice
thousands of our young men, break
thousands of mothers' hearts and all
because our turbulent neighbor Fs In
capable of self government. Indeed It
looks now aa though this was certain
to happen. Either the present gov
ornment must make good and do It at
once, or Intervention Is certain, and as
it tfarted out with a cowardly assas
sination of a prisoner, its deposed
president, It seems hopeless to export
anything of It but a continuation of
tho methods and conditions that have
heretofore prevailed.
