evenly repeated in that between taxable income and income excused from tax. In 1913-14 the small proportion of seventy incomes to 1,130 was entirely re- lieved; for the years 1920-21 and 1991-29 the proportion, though subject to revision as an estimate in each case, is likely to be still more in favour of the exempted than in 1919-20, though, as one gathers from the estimates, the total number of incomes will have materially diminished to 6,000,000 and 7,000,000 for the last two While nó DAC will years respectively. dispute the justice of exemption, espe- vially as it is found to operate to the full extent practically only upon incomes not exceeding £200, many will be inclined to read the anne signa of social danger in the relatively rapid decline of the effects of latement anong, what may be fairly supposed to be the incomes of the less prosperous professional and commercial classes and the steady growth of the net produce of income-tar in "the various gradations of income in proportion to

net income paying tax in those gradations. Though the middle class may not be susceptible of exact definition," it has a meaning which has long been recognized, and most of the with incomes between over £100 and rder £1,00 a year may safely be included in it. In that class it appears that the set produce on income tax remajas practically stationary at £6000,000 for six specessive grades of income, while the number of incomes in each grade tends to drop steadily, from 180,000 income between 2400 and £500, to 38,920 incomes exceeding £900 but not The actual income, exceeding £1,000. mareover, of income-tax payers of these categories is about one-quarter of those in the lowest categories, while what they pay in tax is nearly twice as much. When we examine the incomes above £1,000 and pass to those which are liable to sapertar as well, the sharpness of the sacent is no less marked. Sympathetically read, these statistics are statistice quite as much of impoverishment as of wealth. They reveal in striking degree the struggles new class of impoverished. persons, among whom is to be found the main body of thrift, intelligence, and refinement in the ration. It would be impossible to pretend that the discovery of this afflicted class is new, for the evidence of its sufferings has been obvious ever since the income-tax took its sudden upward rise six years ago. But it argues neither want of pm- pathy with others nor a condemnation of the income-tax as an appropriate instru- ment of taxation if its hardships, as they are plainly indicated in the Commisy case whatever. sioners of Inland Revenue's report, are brought home to it in its collective capa- city. Their consequences, if prolonged are calculated seriously to impair the vitality of that section of the nation from which its brains, either in the pre sent or the next generation, are mainly drawn. Much as is due from the commu. nity to those who perform certain funda. mental. if elementary functions in it quite as much is owing to the class which broadly speaking, supplies the intelligence without which, the labours of the strongest - bodies would become purposeless. The truth about the income-tax, excellently set forth by 'the Department concerned, is such as to make the light.

ARCH OF OLD LONDON BRIDGE. ¿
A crowded public meeting at Carpen- ters' Hall, London, unanimously adopted a resolution that "this meeting is strongly of opinion that, the recently discovered London Bridge arch should be preserved in its present position, and requests all the authorities concerned in the matter. to use their utmost endeavour to that end." The Archbishop of Canterbury, who predded, said it would be a terrible thing if the last existing relic of the old bridge were to be for ever buried int:: stone. He thought that now light bad been thrown on the subject those who had not previously interested themselves in it would do so, and that a treasure like that would be preserved. Mr. WD. Caroe gave a lecture or Old London Bridge, with special reference to the recently dis covered arch, the date of which he placed: ns between 1176 and 1209. The history of the Bridge House Trusts was related by Miss E Jeffries Davis, Historian of London Records to London University.
