INCOME TAX
;t Legislature of Virginia Urged to i
prove Proposed Amendment.
Jit
Richmond, Va., January 17.?G
ernor Swanson to-day sent to
.. legislature of Virginia a special m
5t sage on the proposed income
amendment to the Federal Consti
tion recommending its prompt
g proval.
"No substantial reason exists,"
stated, "why our Government sho
be deprived of the power of impos
Le a tax so just and so fair. It is an
warranted fright to imagine t
S Congress would permit any legh
n tion which would be destructive
either the rights or best interests
1- the States. The proposed ame
t, ment will remove the Supreme Co
of the United States on this subj
a from the arena of political content
r and strife. The expenditures of
Federal Government are rapidly
e creasing each year. At present m
^ of its vast revenue is collected b;
tax upon consumption?thus
people are taxed on what they ne
>e not on what they possess. A J
ls system of taxation should be ba
on the abundance of the people t
3" not on their necessities."
