the preference been given the child of a

' Au oxchnngc wisely remarks: It is
^st^^^d^that 11^ result of thc^SUte
from Jay Gould's estato. In*snw^?^ as* ?*
the estate was chiefly acquired by trallick- *
ing iu the public rights which should
never have been given over to private
ownership, this sum, liberal as it seems,
is but a partial restitution.
It is conceded on all sides that a scutiment
for an iucomc tax is growing. A
bill to impose a progressively increasing
i tax ou iucomcs above $10,000 would be
passed by an overwhelming majority if
prescutcd iu this Ilousc. How mucli
revenue it would yield is problematical.
That would depend somewhat upon tho
extent to which consciences have become
more alert since the war time income tax
was abolished. That sometimes produced
revenue, and sometimes perjury. But
it was in a time of general demoraliz ation.
