...States at least 40 per cent. of the persons assessed, fail to pay any taxes on their revenue. The Parliamentary Commission of 1904 reported that an enormous amount of property escaped the tax. Thus Mill's statement that the income tax is unjust since it falls heaviest on the honest members of the state is proved by the experience of both the United States and England. Therefore, it cannot be supposed that it will distribute the burden of taxation any more equitably in France...

He then spoke of President Taft, "better equipped for his position than any president, who always speaks for himself, broad-minded as a statesman, and one who offers his right hand to every honest man."
