Mum Says Measure Promotes 09ib Conflict and Public Extrava gance—Should Not Be Impoaod Upon the Poor Bji Associated f*rej«. Princeton, N. ,1., l»oc. ISO. —The fed-1 ; era! income tax. for which only 357,- 598 returns were received last your, is rejtchitift direvtlv lees than one-half of one jH'r cent, of the po|Hilntiou, pro motes class conflict and pwhlic extra vagance, a»il is a feeble instrument with which to reduce swollen fortunes, in the opinion of T. S. Adams, member | of the Wisconsin State Tax (.'omtnis i sion, in an address here before the American Kconomic Association here. Mr. Adams spoke on "The Kffect ot ; luvoitie and Inheritance Taxes on the ; liistribution of Wealth." "The present federal income tax ia a ciass tax and class taxes breed ex travagance," he said. ''lt deserves ap proval front almost every other stand ; point, but in this respect' it needs eour ! ajreous correction. Income taxes should | not be levied upon the poor —but they ; should be levied upon all the rich, i. e., ! upon everyone with income exceeding i the ,imount required by the American standard of living. An income tax fall i iti£ ou all the rich, so defined, would be the most potent instrument procur able for inspiring and maintaining an effective interest in the conduct of gov ernment. "If swollen fortuned nrp bail, they should bo attacked directly and the cause removed. To lot them accumulate and then tax them 10 per cent, snuacks ot hypocrisy, and the attempt to ma&e the income tax do the work of social reform is apt to spoil the income tax. lis virtues are lisvAl. In my opinion the income tax could perform its best serv ice as a substitute for the |>ersonai property tax as applied to business en terprise. The Joss in modern business is enormous, the necessary hazards are grout. and a strikingly large proportion of concerns in some lines constantly totter 011 the brink of bankruptcy. To ail such margin*! enterprises the prop erty tax is remorseless. It falls on property as much whether it is produo tive or unproductive, whether it is owned free or heavily on< .nnberod, whether it is jiart of a trustworthy hut desperate uetv business venture or part of the salvage of a dying concern. The property tax disoura.ges experiment, penalizes industrial pioneering, retards production, reduces suipplv and increas es prices. In short, it is partly shifted to consumers, reduces the amount of wealth to be divided and adversely af fects the distribution of what is pro duced. In comparison the income tax wrests little or nothing from the new. the experimental or the unfortunate uumihv* enterprise: it helus not. onJy the small business man, but large con cerns ij new and hazardous underta-k --ings. It heli>s —or abtains from burden ing—every business enterprise in a IvaJ year. ••The property tax j«ut. the State in the jHisition of a preferred creditor and n harsh one. Its dues must be paid bv the cosiness man in the development period of the busiuess, before profits are earned, and later whether profits are earned or not. The income tax. however, presents the State in the at titude of a partner or profit-sharer The first attitude is not whoolv indefen sn.le, nor altogether unfortunate. Hut 1 with respect to business enterprise it : nee.is to be softened by increasing em pha-:s upon ability to pay. There is a .rowing teeling among the operators and owners of public utilities that gov ernment ownership is inevitable. This toe ling or movement is measurab'.v stimulated by the rigors of the prop erty tax. The railroads of this coun-, try. for instance, are at present pav ing over 16 per cent, of their net earnings in taxes, and in some States' the proportion exceeds L'O per cent. If ; our tax system gave greater scope to ihe ne, mconif principle, it would ma-1 terialh enhance the chances of private: ownership and operation. The income I tax works for the retention of private management; it makes the State' not a 1 ! referred creditor, and not the sole' owner, hut a full-fledged and sympath tic partner in private Industry." | Brig.

"To-day" is pri marily an exposition of a certain phase of' New York life, the existence | of which has never t)«yn denied and ! in addition offers a convincing ehar -1 actor study of a vain, shallow, selfish wife that has no counterpart on the stage.
