Such a tax is clearly @a infringement of his personal free- @om, unjust and unequal. * But no such consideration is due to other moonshiners, the wealthy men, and, more especially, these cor- Poration officers, representutives of ag- @egated wealth, who seck by various Gevious ways to evade payment of the fmcome tax. There is no question of feal injustice or inequa‘ity involved here. These modern moonshiners seck Rot to evade a tax which bears upon them and not upon others, but to pre- vent the loss of an exemption from tax for the Federal Government which they ave long enjoyed. Everything in this country except ‘wealth and property pays a tax for th Support of the Fede Byery article of consumption for eating, Grinking, wearing or enjoyment Is taxed lregtly or indirectly. There is an extra tax on tobacco In all Its forms, on spirit Uous and fermented lquors and on play- ing cards which Is paid by the consumer, Every man has paid taxes to the Fed- @ral Government according to what he @ongumed, not according to what he ed. The man who could live without eating, drinking or wearing anything fm this country, escaped without a cont ef Federal tax, no matter how many Millions he might be worth. Corporations owning public franchises @r private rights, aggregating In value Billions of dollars, paid nothing for the gupport of the Feleral Government—the protection of which they were #o eager te claim on every occasion, Corporations are soul and bloodless, needing Belther food, drink, nor clothing. and Federal taxes all came out of living people who had to eat and drink and @lothe themselves. The income tax recognized the In- Sustice of this exemption and imposed ® moderate levy upon that portion of wealth which had previously been ex- empt. It Is this imposition which men prefessing to be good und honest citizens are seeking to evade. Men who shudder at the thought of Jow-down moonshiners and sinugglers depriving the Government of « few @ollars revenue, deliberately seek to Fob it of millions. Men who see no in- fustice in taxing the man who sinokes and letting the man who dues not smoke go free, shriek at the “injustice” ef taxing a man who has money and Jetting off the man who has none. Men who would be horritied at a proposition to lay city or State taxes at so mul per head, insiead of upon property, ae clare that Iberty is at an end beeaus the National Giovernment removes the exemption which from National taxation high-up om melther pity nor merc tempt, THE GRAND JURY FAILURE. Good citizens will heartily the Extraordinary Grand Jury ¢ work of investigating the city ments should be continued other Grand Juries. Indeed, in view of t quantity and quality of the results of the work of the Extraordinary boly It fa to be regretted that the work of in- Vestigating had not been begun operty has ed + but only von with the unt and prosecuted thus far by some other Grand | Jury. With all due respect to the eminent @itizens composing the body which ad- $ourned yesterday, it cannot be denied that thefr work is « disappointment wo the public. No reasonable man expected that the @eluge of loose, uncorroborated texti- mony whch furnished th: moral certain- ty that built up public opinion in sup- port of the work of the Lexow Commit- tee would develop a similar amount of egal evidence upon which indictments could be based. But, on the other hand, the secrecy of the Grand Jury, and its Gupreme prerogative over sources of evi- ence, justified the hope that at le the worst of the villainies exposed be- fore the Committee would be found sus- @eutible to prosecution in a criminal @ourt. been his private peculations, Is indicted. while Williams, whose offenses have been rank in the nostrils of a whole generation, goes free, Byrnes, who con- fenned to a tortune of $300,000 obtained by use of his official “pull,” Is not even censured, while ward men and patrol- men, who extorted petty bribes from crime and vice, are Indicted, The Grand Jury's work outside the Po- Uce Department was spasmoilic and par- tal, Messre. Straus and Tappen are in- dicted for a technical violation of the $1,000 law, although admittedly they are free from any suspicion of personal d honesty, while the Dock Commissioner who have violated that same law braa- enly and, it # belleved, corruptly, for years, are let alone. Brady 1s indicted for accepting @ plano which was left at his door, while Andrews. who was dl- rectly charged with accepting cash bribes, 1s untouched. ‘There is little reason to hope that any further effective legal proceedings wit! be taken against the rascals who have disgraced the city, The cases of those already indicted should be vigorousiy prosecuted, but with that the public may as well be contented. Legal prosecution having practically failed, It remains to be seen what other resource the people have against the “higher up" princes of corruption and those In office or out of It who support or possibly even exalt them, WHY NOT, INDEED!
