LL intelligent people will agree with Basil Manly that at the base of all the frauds in the income tax collection lies the provision guaranteeing complete secrecy. Government makes an attempt to take people’s money away from them, and offers them the means of hiding it. Folly and promotion of fraud, on its face! And it may be said that this same suppression of pub- licity is very largely what ails all our taxation methods. We go after folks’ money, provide secrecy, and then hire officers to hunt out what's concealed But in this income tax matter congress lowered an anchor to windward by empowering the president and secretary of the treasury to make the tax returns public when they think it wise to do so, and the wisdom or necessity for doing so is proved by the loss of hundreds of millions to the treasury, loss that has to be made up by all the people. It is clearly up to Wilson and McAdoo to stop the robbing of all of u by a comparative tew of the very wealthy. It wifl take undoubted courage and determination to make the first move, for there’s no question about pub- licity being “obnoxious” to the fellow who cheats, but there is no legitimate ground for the objection of any honest man or woman., If, on the contrary, publicity would be generally “obnoxious,” this could be overcome by makin, it common, the president starting the ball rolling by opening to publicity his own and McAdoo’s and the editor of this paper's income returns, for instance. rhis would be a long process, engaged in simply to placate. Many of the acte gross offenders are known, and the short cut is to go right after them with all the authority and publicity necessary to cure their cases and present a healthy demonstration for others The Infamous Courts-Martial REMIER ASQUITH is right, tho late, in his back-down in relation to the Dublin prisoners. If there is a meaner, more impotent process of ad- ministering justice than the secret courts-martial, it has not yet been intro- duced and adopted, and we don’t bar the Spanish inquisitiom Bue we cannot with good face bark at anything perpetrated by British courts-martial, with our own brutal demonstrations of the process before us. In our case, too, it was not a matter of squelching rebellion in a time of na- tional war, but just a matter of helping vested interests to put down hun- gry wage-earners.
