THE SEATTLE STAR—THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1918. It was a hot day and Mrs. Henry Brown asked her special war taxes, makes an husband if he would save her the exhausting ride down town and the shopping in the drygoods store, by going himself. Henry, being a good husband, was pleased at the thought of helping out his wife, and took her list when he went to work. At noon, he went into a store and asked for the muslin counter. Reading from the paper, he told the clerk just what kind of muslin he wanted, and the he pays the government § quantity. The clerk did the measuring by means of income than does his neigh brass tacks driven into the top of the counter. When you look at the Next Henry went over to the calico department, Rockefeller pays on part of to get some calico for a house dress. The clerk there of his income, it is safe to took out a cotton tape measure, with some Russian characters on it. The next purchase was some gingham for the lit- tle girl. Here the clerk used a folding aluminum stick with French words on it. Henry then drifted over to where the silks were up, having decided to surprise Mrs. Brown with some silk for a Sunday dress. To his surprise, the clerk produced a wooden ruler with Italian words on it. He had made four purchases, and had seen four different kinds of measuring rules. Altho he had watched closely, he had no idea as to whether he had gotten the right amount of material in any cas As a result, he left the store profoundly d fied and suspicious. That's the sort of thing that is found all thru the present war tax bill and which is threatened in the pro- new bill. The fact that we are going to raise more than double the present amount of money, by $10,000 a year. do a lick of hours and every day. vesn't of the earnings which is Rockefeller’s stock is not ch Splitting the Standard the part which is taxed in stockholde same amount that the smal earnings per share. stockholders, he ps ys from satis- same percentage of the cost lace he may give his daugh daughter.

According to that, the man who bought an old Pierce-Arrow for $500 would pay the same tax that is paid by the millionaire who purchases a new Crane-Simplex with elaborate fittings. The factory superintendent, with ary of $2,500 , who is married but has no children, is allowed exemption from taxation of $2,000, which is to cover the necessary expenses for food, clothing, rent, etc. The farmer, who is married and has no children, is allowed this same $2,000 exemption for food, clothing, ete, and IN ADDITION gets an exemption of the equivalent to the market price of all he produces which he uses for food and clothing. This same factory superintendent, if he lives in a rented house, is not allowed any deduction for rent. His neighbor, who owns his own house, however, does not have to include in his income any charge for th use of that house. This amounts to an additional e emption for the man who owns his own house. These illustrations show the varying measures used to determine the amount of taxes levied upon different people. There is only one true, just measure for the levy- ing of war taxation, and that is—ability to pay. In each of the cases mentioned, there is a departure from that rule, and the departure works against the man with the small income, The committee which is drafting the new tax bill should take this one standard measure of “ability to pay,” and apply it to all the tentative conclusions which they have reached and which they may reach in the future. as Second-Class Matter May 3, 1899, at_the Beattic, Wash. under the Act of Congress Mareh Se per month; $ montha $1.
