Tavenner. | Washington, D. C.—Should a fiscal system which permits those who own ,60 per cent of the wealth of the Unit- ed States to shoulder but 10 per cent |of the burden of taxation, be rem- ‘ edied? The Democratic House believes that it should, and hence the passage of | the excise-income tax bill which lev- |ies a tax of 1 per cent on incomes in | excess of $5,000 a year. This does not mean that all persons having more than $5,000 must pay a jtax on the excess of that sum. It | means that those who have an annual “income”’ or “‘profit’’ of more than $5,000 must pay the 1 per cent tax dn all income or profit exceeding $5,000. | It will be necessary in most cases for | a person to have a capitalized sum of | about $1000,000 before he is called | upon to pay 1 per cent tax on that | portion in excess of $5,000. | The standpatters, however, say this | plan is class legislation.

If a system which requires a mil- lionaire to pay no more tax to the federal government than the section hand or the mill worker is fair and jjust, there is no need of reform; but jis such a system is unjust the excise- income tax bill is a move in the right direction to remedy it.
