COOLEY'S taxi LAW INDEX-DIGEST,

Everybody who has had anything to do with
the tax laws of this State, and has shared in
the trouble Of finding out anything about them,
will be benefited and pleased by the publica-
cation of this book. Hitherto, our tax laws
have been regarded by lawyers officials and tax
payers a sort of unexplored field in Minueso-
ia jurisprudence, that, like some shifting legal
quicksand, or statutory jungle, was too unsta-
Bile or impenetrabe to invite research or devel-
opment. Although everybody. having any
thing to do with taxation recognized the great
necessity for something of the kind, yet MI
Cooley is The first who has digested aud in
Gexed these laws in a satisfactory manner. His
plan is very efficient one, and from
the strong array of recommendations, from su.
preme and district court judges and State ane
| county officers, we have no doubt that tn,
work has been very thoroughly executed.
An exhaustive digest of the'laws arranged
iu alphabetical index FORM under almost ever,
conceivable appro .:riate heading. and referrin!
to the sections and pages of the appendix, con
stitutes the Index-DiScst. Appended to this
under some twelve different headings, are tn
tax laws themselves, with references to the de
! cisions of the supreme court. The book con
tains some 220 pages, is wen printed and GOV
cred, and is sold for the low price of a1.50, s.
that everybody can buy = copy, and knov
whether he is properly OF improperly taxed.

Some political capital is sought to be
made by the advocates of the paternal
system of government, on tho ground that
some States pay more than others into the
treasury for internal revenue taxes. The
Republican members of both Houses Of
Congress, with characteristic mendacity, have
claimed that because the Southern States
have paid less taxes than the Northern
States, they should be content with fewer
privileges. Perhaps they are right and per-
haps not.
The State of kentucky pays more than
seven millions of internal revenue taxes,
mostly on whisky. The State of Illinois
pays something like fourteen millions of
taxes, mostly on whisky. Nobody supposes
that the people of Kentucky consume all the
whisky produced in the State, and it would
certainly be great stretch of the iraagina-
consume all the forty rod that is distilled in
that State. 1t is therefore evident that peo,
pie outside of these States must be charged
with the consumption of the liquor distilled
and that if anybody is to be blamed for di
minishing the revenue it is those people wht
refuse to imbibe sour mash in any form.
But the time has passed when any sucl
shallow pretense rs that the community tha
paws the direct internal revenue tax ar
the greatest benefactors of the public. No
alone in alchohol beverages, but in all othe
things, the producer or the importer re
coves ample restitution from the man
whom he sells, for the taxes h
pays. The consumer alone bear
the burden of taxation. II
has to pay an increased price for ever
article of luxury or utility he may requir
and that increase returns to the origins
producer or purchaser. Herein appears tt
folly OF the majority of the people, who a
sert that they have no interest in the tari
question. They pay no direct tax upon a
tices they buy, but yet indirectly they pay
large tribute to the manufacturers of the a
ticies they use or to tie importers of Il
food they consume. Politics can have not
ing to do with the subject. 1t is simply
matter between producer and consumer.
tho producer is taxed upon what be pr
duces. he will charge proportionate iDcrea
upon what he sells, and as consequen
the consumer pays the tax, whether it
great or small. It is therefore apparent tt
every man in the country pays his prop,
tion of the tax levied upon what he &C
sumes. He pays as much it he lives ii

A LAST RESORT.

That May BECOME the CIOstsO Stage Effect
of the Pending C0nDression0l Ercite-
nlesst.
Washington Special (May l4) to the Chicago
Times.
If the Bourbons are worsted at every
point, they have still left, under the rules,
the precious privilege of making faces at
the executive, and, according to joint rule
No. IL, this will provide means for an i'm
posing spectacle. This rule says:
When the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives shall judge it proper to make joint
address to the president it shall be presented
ident of the Senate in the presence of the
Speaker and both houses.
So when the long fight is over and the
butting against q stone is st an end, this
promises to be the closing stage effect.
1t is not possible that this address can be
prepared without formal and protracted
caucus. The terrible reproaches that are to
be heaped upon the Presidents head-the
concentrated essence of the vivacious Bour-
bonic interviews that have been telegraphed
the ISnaes-will all require much thought
and preparation, for this address, after it has
been formally hurled at the President in the
presence of both houses, will be printed in a
neat pamphlet and sent broadcast as q cam
paign document. The above programme is
one of the most terrific of the Bourbon
threats that can possibly be filled, for those
who would refuse to support the extremists
in any starvation policy would not deny this
easy satisfaction, particularly when it cannot
harm anyone.
1t is more clearly indicated every day
that there will be no starvation of the
government. Mr.. FELTON,, member of the
House committee on appropriations, sale
| this morning that he should hereafter vott
for appropriation bills pure and simple HI
only expresses the opinion of at leas
twenty-five of his Southern associates.
Meanwhile the regular routine business o
the existing Bourbon plan drags. Ut wa
hoped that the legislative bill could b
finished this week in the Senate, but Mr.
Eaton says there are thirteen Senators
who have given notice that they have some
thing to say, and if the same dali
average of the last few day
is kept up thirteen days will be re
quired to discharge the duties of this evil
intended body of statesmen. But it is prom
ised that some of these gifted men will nc
occupy entire afternoons, and this supposi
ton promises vote upon the bill the last 9
this week or the first of next. After tba
and the certain veto all of the political legif
lation involved will be offered upon plat
as separate measure, in the hunble> hop

Judge Dillon, of the United States circuit
court, Eighth Judicial district, which in
cludes the States of Missouri, Arkansas,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota, has
accepted an offer to preside over the New

he has already achieved considerable success.
