TAX ON KNOWLEDGE
“AN INCREDIBLE PROPOSAL.” By Telegraph—Press Assn..—Copyright. London, Nov. 18. The Evening Standard declares that it is impossible to believe Mr. Lang’s halfpenny tax on periodicals will pass in any English-speaking country. There never was a more convinced and determined agitation than against the tax on knowledge which resulted in the abolition of the newspaper tax in 1855. Presumably the proposal includes books, which should make the outcry all the greater in a country with a new and struggling literary class.
