To the Editor of the NortH-CHixa Datty News"
Sim.—The reply of Mr. Kao Kwok regarding the Chinese Income Tax is not worthy of nim. Not only the Russian community, but all foreigners are contributing a considerable mite' towards the hospitality and protection they enjoy in China. To y that the best points of the Income Tax laws of other countries have been adopted will I am afraid, leave the Russishs cold: it is not even funny.
Mr. Kao Kwok carefully omits to Quote the great benefit enjoyed by Citizens of other countries who pay income tzx; such small matters as education, medical, unemployment and numerous other benefits, which do not and I do not suppose ever will be felt by the Ruscians in China; even large colony of criminals n the lo prison are a direct charge en the Municfpatity.
To compare Mr. Al Capone with a poor man who is trying to make fifty cents do the work of a dollar, is going from the sublime to the other ex me, and"the comparison is too ridiculous to dwell upon. In holding up vigas one wonders how it will touch" citizens of certain countries who do stand on their hind legs when subjected to stupid officialdom.
