| “ex-Postmaster In Favor of An Income Tax. “Iam certainly in favor of the preposed tax on incomes, as it would penses proportionately upon those best ableto bear them. I regard an income tax as one of tha most equitable that can be levied I ad mit that this method is rather un- but at the same time I affirm that it 1s just,” is the very dec wieldy and expensive, ed opinion of Sam'l Gowpers, president of the Americau Federation of Labor, given in Dem- orests Magazine for February. He goes on to say; The rich men very naturally oppose it; but surely the man whose income is $3,500 a year is better able to bear tax than he whose $3504 year I ffgure because the wages of the aver | age an additioual income s only name this minium Awericen workman iu this | country to day is $7 a week. This proposed measure is of course opposed in the east, where there is, 80 wuch wealth, but the east does! not fairly represent the entire coun- try. Inthe west and south incomes are where | divided, | there isa tremendous constitue ney | in favor of the tax. | The rate and amount of income to! be taxed should of course depend | upon how much revenue is needed | after the regular tariff is | adopted. At any rate, there will be a defficiency caused by the new tar iff bill that cau be made vy form of temporary wiser more equally schedule up no taxation and fairer than that imposed upoa incomes.” rketed. | kK.
