The Internal Revenue Report.

The report of G. b. Raum, commissioner
of internal revenue, states that the internal
revenue receipts, since 1879, have increased
yoar by year Sl0,03j,0J0 10 S12,01o,ooo. In
they were $135 220, ,009, and in the fiscal year
last ended they were S14S, 10000. The
receipts for the current fiscal year will prob
ably fall below last years total, bat are
likely to reach 41i5,000,0Go, if the present
taxes are retained. The commissioner ealls
attention to the maxim that no more revenue
should be raised than is needed to support
the government economically, and to gradu-
ally reduce it4 debt, and also to the fact that
at the present rate of paying the debt all
bonds subject to eall will be paid within three
years, after which, in order to dispose OF its
surplus revenue, the government will have to
buy four and one-half and four per cent.
bonds in the open market, which would prob
ably advance their price twenty-five to thirty
Per cent, TO pay which would be waste of
the peoples money. The debt should be
eXtinguished only at a rate to meet the pe.
qulrements OF the sinking fund, viz, about
500 ,UOO,OOO Yer annum. Areduction of $780,
O00,GO0 to S7O,0J0,O00 in our annual revenues
is urgently called for. He offers the follow
ing suggestions
SIN reHitting taxation therelef should fall
as far rs possible upon necessares of life.
The great bulk of internal taxation is de-
rived from liquors and tobacco. These are
articles of luxury, and the dealers therein
are proper subjects for taxation. Public
opinion seems TO be strongly in favor of the
retention of these taxes. The other objects
of internal taxation, with the amounts re-
allied in the past year, are: Friction matches,
$3,272,2 ,25S; patent medicines, etc, $l,978,-
1856; bank checks, S2,31S, ,455.4; bank de-
posits, $4,0N, ,70l.98; savings bank deposits,
S88, 400.47; bank capital, $1,13S, ,340.S7; saw
ings bank capital, $l4,729.38; total, $12,-
66,52l.40. Add TO this the taxes collected by
the treasurer of the United States from ma
tional banks, and there is a total derived
from these sources of 1918, ,238,U These
taxes should be repealed. The tax on savings
bank deposits is a tax on thrift. The tax on
patent medicines, esc., is vexatious, being
levied upon innumerabe articles. The taxes
on bank capital, deposits and checks are not
needed for revenue. The repeal of these taxes
would greatly simplify the internal revenue
SYSTEM"
Mr.. Raum advises reduction of forty per
cent. in the special taxes paid by dealers
also a reduction of 81 per thousand on
cigars. All the repealed taxes and reductions
recommended above, if carried into effect,
would reduce tho internal revenue taxes $685.
502, ,128. He thinks it desirable to consider
the practicability of taking the duty off
sugar, which now yields revenue of Sf5,.
100000 per annum.

FRANK FRAYNE, an actor, has been per-
forming for years in play -" 81 Slocum f"
in which he shoots an apple off another
performers head. A few days ago he was
playing in Cincinnati theatre. Frank
Frayne personated ST Slocum and Miss
Annie Won Behren took the role of Ruth
Slocum, Sis wife. The play had proceeded
to the end of the fourth act, at which point
81 Slocum, who is captive, is offered his
freedom in the event of his shooting an apple
off his wife's head with the backward shot.
He has performed this feat in all the princi-
pal cities and has never before met with an
accident. AS usual Mr.. Frayne took his
place on one side of the stage, with Miss
Won Behren directly opposite. The apple
was placed on the girls head, and Mr..
Frayne after taking aim, fired. At the crack
Of the rifle Miss Behren fell back on the
stage without uttering word, the blood
0ozing from wound in the forehead. She
had been shot in the forehead, and died in
fifteen minutes. The audience was dis
missed and Frayne was arrested,
