THE MINERS' BALLOT. An old question is raised in a new way by the ballot which is to be taken of the miners of South Wales this week. They an to be asked to say ''For" or "Against" to the following question: "Are you in favour of a strike by the South Wales miners to resist the payment of income-tax on income below k250 a year, while the Miners' Federation oi Great Britain has decided by conference reeolution against action of that kind being taken at present? n, The very form of the question i-s an indication how the leaders fed with regard to it. We triist the hint will be taken by the miners, Mr. | Tom Richards expresses the views of the South Wales leaders very clearly this morning, and we hope his words will be well considered. At bottom, of course, it is an- other attempt: by the Direct Action- ists to obtain their wiil. Defeated 'n? one direction, they turn to another ?one direction, they turn to another issue. The extremists, the pro- fessional agitators and the group I who make no scruples about ealling-r i themselves revolutionaries, having been foiled in other directions, are seeking to use the mcome. tax grievance to further their anus. It is not that they feel very strongly about taxation as that they desire to upset tlte demcci-aU'c ideal of government. They are out to dis- credit Parliament and to substitute for it mob tyranny. The Income TriX, always the mrt. unpopular of British institutions, i* only a pre- text. We believe the miners of Smith W ales are too wise to fall into the snare. The majority of workers in' lour coal fields are steady citizens who have no desire, throw off their responsibilities. They realise that the war \\08:) a costly business; but that the main loss cannot be computed in terms of money. What we are called upon to pay now is a small matter ,compared with the sacrifice of life made dnring th ghastly four years. Having offered that sacrifice like men, are we going to whine now when an infi- nitely smaller service is asked of us by the State! But, say the agitators, we do not complain about the taxation in theory; what we contend is that the burden should be placed upon shoulders mere able to bear it. what we want is a fajrl" distribution of the tax. It is unfair, they as- sert., that men near the poverty level, shall be. called upon to pay what must be an unequal and op- I pressive share. The argument does not apply in fact, because even hinder the present systArn the inci- I deuce of the tax is in favour of the j wage-earner with ? fami!y. We ?hould net be surprised to discover 't tii t, the agitators among the i miners are not the responsible family men who constitute the ? greatest number of the men. but the single men voung and well-to-do, f'inglø men, young and well-to-do, who are seeking by this means to shirk their duty to the State, They have been filled with certain -rude economic and political be. liefs. They object to constitutional government. They are opposed to licmocntl j, conceptions. Some of them think that Rus&fca presents the | ideal mcde of government, and tiave elevated the Bolshevik code to thq. of worship. We are (('tain that the rank and file of the c Dices ntteriy repudiate such doc- t.ril1(, and that they are prepared to [ lace the doctrinaires in their iI! y (/ tl. We are all under the harrow of taxation. Men in other and less remunerative occupations than tin colliers are content to pay then' :'d'iare cf the tax without whining. They may, and probably do, believe lli.it'the incidence of the tax can be l more justly designed. Stalls to- day upon slfoulders far less able to bear it than the colliers. But the proper way to secure reform is to work through constitutional chan- nels, to convince Parliament that the present eystem is wrong. A -not that m-o be- strike of miners- that we be- lieve the ballot will end in this; the miners have too much common oeuse,wijl settle, nothing. No Gov- ernment can allow itself to be dic- tated to in guch a manner, and the country will stand with the Govern- ment in resisting a threat against constitutionalism. Direct Action is sufficiently discredited already :o enable us to say that no section of the country will erer be strong I enough to defeat the democracy.
