ABOLISHING DIRECT TAXES
West Virginia la dlsctuslug a proposition
to abolish all taxes on rani cstnto mill per
finrjRl property and to derive Us revenue
wholly from fees Ureases and sueclnl taxes
no corporations and certain Intercuts such
m > mining brewing distilling etc The
Ktato of New York has taken the lend in
this method of shifting the liurdcn of gov-
ernment and It proved so popular lu tlio
last election that It was confessedly the
winning card of Odclls carapilgn
Incidentally It mny be remarked that If
Texas or nnr other Southern Htnto hnd pro-
posed to draw Its entire revenue fiom ror
poratloni nmt speclnl interests there would
have been n howl from one end of the
eountrv to the other
But let iib eonsldcf tbc scheme upon Us
merits
In the first place It Is mere dslualnn to
f > hlft laxes to the corporations for lu the
sennomy of their management a lm I
a fixed charge which enl rs Into rout nf
rfiminodlty or service and Ihey may bo de-
pended upon to terovpr It from patron
If we abolish direct taxes on real mid
personal property and shift Hip whole bur-
den t the railroads for Instance they
must Increase freight rates The shipper
In torn must add the Increased Item to tlm
commodity he ri > elves nnd sells nr tledmt
It from the commodity he buy Rnd fm
wards The purchaser of dry goods m
the one hand and the seller of raw cotton
on the other therefore ultimately pay the
Hi
This Is tb whole vicious nolle of the
tariff tax The purchaser nf tariff article
pais It r the price of tho goods
Hut that Ii only one phase of the sub-
ject which reveals the delusion
Another Important tiolut to tic considered
Is th llnul effect of the palter It we arc
to transfer the entire burden of taxation to
the corporations and the trusts we will In-
evitably foil 10 theli position In the uiat
strike hearing the opcratats have nlteady
mmlo the tiolut Linn their nronertlcs are
paying the glentei unrt of the taxes and
that consequently thcr must barge ilglior
prices or pay lower wane
Itcdurid to Its essence the scheme will
operate ns a lleeuse to trusts Wo Mill poi
mil thcin to continue If tbey will pay the
tnxes Let ns mil forget that In the end
tliev will lu turn collect tho tuxes from
< iiiers Hence we calo nothing and at
the saino time we luinr tint ilt > k of siting
