X. Y.Z. We Want Your Spring Trade. Importance of an Income Taxrr Cotton Tariff Reduction. By Clyde H. Tayenner. Special Correspondent of this Newspaper. Washington, , Feb. 10. Few persons realize the far reaching Importance of the fact that the United States will soon have an income tax on its statutes. First of all it means that mil- lionaires will, for the . first time since this nation has stood, bear a fair proportion" of the burden of taxation. Its estimated that one hundred million dollars will be raised ' an nually by taxing incomes, This will mean that 'that amount : tri taxation is to be taken off of the things that the people must have in order to live and placed on wealth. - - -i Under the system of protection as played in this country, nearly every penny of the money -neces sary to run the government,4 maintain the army and navy con struct public building, .etc.; is raised by taxing the things the people eat, wear and use. The only thing that protection does not tax is wealth. A man with a fortune of ten million dollars' has not been required to pay a single penny of tax to the national gov ernment. This seems: almost un believeable, but it is : true. The man working on the, section for one doITaratrd fifryentspePoTajr with.aamily of five 'cMdrenld at the present time actually con- ributing more to run the national government than the millionaire bachelor, too proud to marry and aise a family. Th United States of America s practically the only one of the great nations where such a condi- ion exists. Nearly every 'first class nation on earth levies either an income tax or an inheritance ax, We have neither. Why have we never been able o place an income tax on the sta- ute books, is the question that naturally arises. Here is the an swer; High protectionists haye prevented tho passage of an in come tax law, because they knew that the more money the govern ment collected from taxing in comes, the less excuse there would be for a tariff tax. To ake protection away from the tariff trusts is to interfere with heir monopolies. And how could the tariff trusts gouge con sumers without haying monopo- ies of American markets?
