Hi

We had come to believe from more than a ceii
tury's experience that indirect taxation was the
only kind of taxation for which the American peo
ple would stand. Even in our state and municipal
governments personal earnings play no part in
the scheme of taxation and even personal proper
ty is largely exempt.
But the expenses of government mounted to unheard-of
figures, it became evident that direct tax-
anon would nave to be resorted to, and the in
comes of the land were selected as the best able
to bear it. This tax was at first very light and only
placed on very large income.
Gradually the limit has been lowered, until now
allyearly incomes of $1,000 for. single men and $2,
(KW for men of family must come to the help of
their government.
But why the limit? ' Why should the man who
makes $999 a year be exempt from the tax simply
because he failed to --annex that odd dollar? He
may be far better able to spare the money than the
man who earns $1,000 or even $1,500 a year
. Getting right down to the gist of the matter,
isn t any limit arbitrary and unjust? That de

Insane To Help
State Celebrate
M'KIxNGFIELD, 111. The insane of I
Illinois will help celebrate the Centen
nial of the admission of the state Into
the Union. Plans are being made for
pageants and other exercises commem-
orative of the one hundred years of I
statehood at the various state hospitals I
and these will be participated in by the
insane patients, A. L,. Bowen, Superin-!
teudent of Charities announced today.
The development in the state's care of
the insane and other dependents has !
been even more remarkable than the de
velopment of the state itself, Mr. Bow
en dtx;lares, and he believes this p7og-
ress can be shown best by the inmates
Of the institutions themselves.
"There are thousands of patients in
the insane hospital who can act very
creditably in pageants under the direc
tion of attendants," Mr. Bowen said.
"Moreover it will be beneficial to the
patients as well as interesting to the j
public U engage them in this way. The
pageants and exercises will treat par
ticularly the history of the surrounding j
territory at each institution. This
history can be developed in an im
pressive manner and among the insane"
there are many who have consiberable
histrionic ability.'
