to answer this question is noticed in
any of the papers which come to
this office. : There are several an
swers, the following is one:
Tie government must transfer
annually from the pockets of the
people into the national treasury
above $500, 900, 900 of money. The
question is how to transfer this vast
sum with the least oppression upon
the poor and the common people,
and with the least detrlment to the
business of the country. Take for
example leather and goods made OF
leather, the importatlons are small,
and the duties collected less than
S., 900, 900. But the tariff duties on
such goods average IS per cent, and
the home production is above $780,
900, 600. So to get $5, ooo,o 900 tram
fered from the pockets OF the people
into the national treasury it has cost
the people in the additional price OF
boots and shoes, harness, betting,
etc., the great sum of from S7o,ooo,-
900 to $780, 900, 900 annually. AS
the editorial I quoted from truly
savs"There is now produced in this
country only about one tenth of the
sugar consumed. The above facts
clearly show that the sugar tax while
oppressive is much less so than the
tariff tax on leather and other artl-

Wounded birds always futter, and
our Honorable Mayor" is futtering
from the effects Of some stray shot, and
IN his wrath he INDUCES in dictionary
word and calls you "cynic"-a man
of canine temper alias bulldog. Hope
il may prove true, for we need several
scores of ..'Cynics'' or bulldogs to at
tack the denominations under which the
community labors and which have been
fostered by his administration. "Hiz-
zoner" seems to have just walked up to
the fact that comments are made" II
would be edifyiug to him if he could
listen to the comments" as they are
daily made in the streets, in the stores,
in the workshops, in the homes and in
the churches of both Catholic and
Protestant
He acknowledges that he has been
guilty of evading the law by taking pay
for years license when he knew it
could be issued but for four months. It
was not only evading the law, but it
was a fraud!
To put the transaction into another
shape, he says: GA rebate of $685.: 3
for the eight months cGpired." This
might be called constructive license. In
other words, it was equivalent to selling
an old horse already t,oo thirds dead, or
''expired"-at full price for the privi-
lege of buying back the "expired" part
for two thirds the selling price, and
thus succeed in evading the law. He
knew the money "clearly don't belong
to the city"-then it was fraud to &C,
cept and pass it into the treasury by his
consent and he was party to the fraud
Ia criminal by his own confession. He
says it has been customary to refund,"
sc. No good reason can be given why
the city should become the purchaser
of every dead license because saloon
keeper wishes to retire from the traffic,
or because he has been closed out by his
creditors. He takes the license at his
own risk. IF A. buys barrel of cider
of B. and drinks one-half of it and de-
eides be has no use for the other half, is
B. under obligation-either moral or
legal-to take that half back and re-
fund the money!
1t was innocently supposed that the
city had licenses to sell only, but it now
appears that the city is license broker.

is chief manager and pays hard cash for

to no use.

RUSSIAN TAXATION.
The Heavy burden Laid Upon the Peas
ants Is More Than They Can Bear.


The Heavy burden Laid Upon the Peas
ants Is More Than They Can Bear.
The burdens of the peasantry are
very heavy. In Russia the superior
classes enjoy many exemptions from
taxations, and the public revenue is
taken mainly from the peasant classes.
The annual redemption money they
have TO pay to the state for their land is
a most serious obligation, and between
one thing and another the burdens on
the land in vast number of cases ex-
coed Its net return very considerably.
Professor Thun states that in 1000
cases of letting holdings which had
occurred in the province of Moscow at
the time he wrote the average rent re-
ceived was only rubies, So kopecks
per soul" Qand share,) while the
average taxation was 10 rubles, 30 kO-
pecks. Stepniak says that in thirty
seven provinces OF European Russia
the class who were formerly state
peasants pay in taxes of every descrip-
ton no less than 92.75 per cent. of the
average net produce of their land, and
that the class who were formerly serfs
of private owners pay as much as
1925 percent. of the net produce of
theirs.
Land owning ON these terms is man.
ifestly q questionable privilege, and
the moujik pays his land taxes as the
Scotch crofter has sometimes to pay
his rent, not out of the produce of his
holding, but out of the wages of his
auxiliary labor; but the Scotch croft
ter, under his system of individual
tenure, has one great resource which is
wanting to the other-he can always
cut the knot of his troubles by throw
ing up his holding, if he chooses, and
emigrating.
To the Russian peasant emigration
brings no relief. He is born a propri-
etor and cannot escape the obligation
of his position wherever he may go.
He may try to let his ground-and in
many cases he does-but, as we see,
he cannot often get enough rent to
meet the dues. He may leave his vii
lage, II he will, but his village liabili-
ties travel with him wherever he may
settle. He cannot obtain work any
where in Russia without showing his
pass from his own commune; and
since, under the principle of joint Ii
ability that rules in the communistic
system, the members of the commune
who remain at home would have to
pay the emigrants arrears if he failed
to pay them himself, they are not
likely to renew the pass to de-
faulter
The Russian peasants are thus near
ly as much adstricti glebe as they |
ever were; they are now under the |
power of the commune as completely !
as they were before under the power |
Of their masters, and their difficulty
is still how they can possibly obtain
emancipation. Sometimes they will |
defy the commune, forego the advan-
tage of lawful pass, crowd the
ranks of that large body in Russia
who are known as the illegal men,"
and sometimes, we are assured, by
Professor Thun, a whole village,
every man and every family, will
secretly disappear in a body and seek
'efuge from the tax collector by set
ling in the teppes.-National Re-

A GOOD BILL

Mr.. FAssErT's bill In regard to factory
inspection IL one which deserves TO be
passed. IL seeks to remedy several things
which at present are crying evils in foe
tory life.
One admirable provision of the bill
is that which prohibits the employment
of any woman or minor under eighteen
years Of age for more than ten hours
each day.
The best feature OF the bill, however.
IL that which provides women inspectors
for women employees in manufacturing
or mercantile establishments. These ill.,
spectors are to be appointed by the Gov
ernor, and are removable by him for
cause.
The bill meets the exigencies of the sit
uation very satisfactorily. Too much
can hardly be said of the imperative de-
mand for women inspectors for their ais.
ter toilers. Every true-hearted woman,
whatever her station in life, cannot fail to
feel sympathy for those Of her own Sex
whom the lottery Of life has placed on the
tread-mill Of labor.
IL in 10 tighten their heavy burden
: that women inspectors should he ap.
pointed. Not Humanity alone but JUS
tice demands this consideration for the
hard.pressed women in the bee-hives OF
manufacturing industry. Mr.. FAssETT's
