GLADSTONE CATCHING IT

Gladstone is another instance O
a man trying to hold his grip OF
the public too long. England used
to worship Gladstone, but since the
disasters in Egypt, the tide has
turned against him, and a rough
and roaring tide it IS.
The Times London correspond
ent says: In the absence Of details
of the calamity, the English mind
IS not diverted from it's full swing
of fury against Gladstone and, his
ministry. Never in my life have [
heard a man denounced as he has
been denounced seemingly
by everyone. The city proper is
like one vast kissing flaming glob-
ule of wrath. Not word is heard
anywhere in his defense. In stores
and shops, on public places in rail
way compartment, and generally on
the streets, there is one universal
voice heard cursing him and his
ministry. If the future policy of
England in Soudan was a puzzle
before today, it is muddling chaos
now.
The only thing yet certain is
that = second or third rate will be
clapped on to the income taxa
certainty which will paralyze bust
ness, kill Investment and frighten |
everybody. Twenty millions for
worse than nothing have INVOLVED |
now the spending of thirty or forty
millions in order to get back to the
original position. Old Anglo-In-
dams tonight say that really the
gravest feature Of the whole bust T
ness is the destruction, of British
prestige in the eyes Of. the Indian

There is no longer any opposi.
ton to the tax roll bill on the
ground that its passage will give
the newspapers some extra printing
to do. Men who haye no other ar
gument than this to present are not
recognized as arguing the question
at all. The question is simply this:
Will the printing of the sum total
OF taxes paid by each individual
result in an increased revenue to
the State If the affirmative Of
this question cannot be proven, the
bill is not worth passing. The cry
that it is relief bill for the press
comes from people who are either
ignorant Of the provisions Of the
bill or do not wish the public to
know how ridiculously small a con-
tribution they make annually to
the revenue Of the county. This
bill is now acknowledged by all who
have carefully investigated the
matter to be the best substitute
yet devised by Board of Equali-
cation.
The bill provides that every tax
payer in the respective codnties of
this State shall have the sum total
of his or her taxes printed in
newspaper at an expense Of 90 cts.
to each taxpayer
The effect Of the bill will be that
the record of the taxes paid in the
county will be dragged from the
inner recesses of the Assessors Of

the same thing, you will feel like

The Storey county members
have decided to fight the Military
Bill tooth and nail claiming that it
contains a joker and is inimical
to the labor organization of the
county. We understand that Will
Hanson, Folsom and Byrne Of the

mend the passage of the bill,and
Hanks and Harper will make a
minority report against it. There
seems to be music in the air.

The bill which passed the House
last June, authorizing a retired

officers of the United States army

thirty years and upwards, has been

become a law. This will be good
news to several old soldiers at mill
