E have been no more murders than before the death penalty was removed.

FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Frank Crane) When the war revenue bill was under discussion fy the national house of representatives the remarks made upon it were illuminating. Democrats and republicans agreed that it was un satisfactory. Mr. Kitchin, the democratic leader, while he commended the bill as a whole, admitted that it wag a compromise, and in order to get any result at all the conferees had to give and take. All of the conferees criticised the bill they had brought in, and Mr. Moore of Pennsylvania referred to it as “a forbidding measure” and chamber of hor- rors.” Mr. Rainey of Illinois declared it was illogical in many respects and would meet with “violent criti- cism.” Naturally. All tax legislation seems to be “a battle of the kites and crows What else can we expect, so long as we refuse to see the very fundamental principle of taxation? What is that? it is simply that a tax should be a fair payment for value received. That's all. Once you start from that, and keep it in your eye, the rest is plain sailing. You get something from the government; you ought to pay for it; no more, no less. If you buy the land the Chicago Beach hotel is on for $3,000, and run away to Europe, and come back in 30 years and find it worth $30,000,000, where does that $29,997,000 profit come from? Clearly, you never earned it. Answer: The people presented it to you, by movs” ing out into the neighborhood, by building and im-— proving all sround you. And you ought to pay them | for it. ' That is what is meant by “the unearned incre- ment.” There’s enough unearned increment in this coun- try to pay all taxes many times over. As it is, it dis- appears into the pockets of them that never earned a cent of it. The income tax is wrong, because it fines a man for being efficient. The men who get $20,000 a year and up are~the most yaluable citizens of the nation, | They ought to be patted; we soak them. As a rule — they earn their wages, and more, too. They contribute to the Common Good But the man who inherits a million and spends . his days in playing bridge and changing his tro j earns nothing. The state gives him all. He is not a7 Person. He is a Cootie on the Body Politic. There is no “natural” right of inheritance. It wholly artificial, a species of graft, consecrated by? time. The only natural right a man has is to get’ decent pay for hig work. A railroad, a telegraph or telephone company, public lighting plant, a waterway, street car line, an all such public things, make their big money by “th unearned increment.” ‘ The men who build, promote and manage such | things should be paid for their services, and paid well, 1 but so ought the Public be paid for what It does. And if the Public got its rightful pay we wou dé not have to have revenue spies snooping around after income taxes, devilling citizens when they land at our piers from abroad, and hounding efficient people gen- erally as if they were criminals. The whole spirit of taxation, as it is today, is” tainted with the Bolshevik notion that wealth, pros- industry and success are crimes, and that the do-less and bedraggled are to be taken care of by fining their betters. If members of congress could be locked up in a boarding school for six months, and compelled to study the book called “Progress and Poverty” six hours a day,_ maybe they might at the end of that time be able to produce a tax bill that would not be “illogical” and “a chamber of horrors.” ie After this Spanish influenza ede ge ies “black death” did in Euro} . the Fourteenth Century, after the storm has passed, we are CO fronted by the wrecks of men am women who have been left in a weakened condition, with p faces and feelings of general las: tude and weakness.

This will excite efficient bowel action.
