TAKING LEGACIES.

Minister Jones has introduced
into the House bill providing for
a tax on legacies. 1t imposes on
all inheritances below $4,000 in
value, charge of one-half of 1 per
cent. Between $4,000 and $4,000,
the rate proposed is three-fourths of
1 per cent, between $4,000 and
$4,000 1 per cent. and on all
amounts above, II per cent.
We believe most firmly in the
principle of this bill. From the
earliest times the right to transmit
property has been regarded not as
natural right, but rather as the
creation of the law. Not until
comparatively modern times have
restrictions on the free transmits
sion been removed, and they have
never been removed altogether.
There is no more legitimate way OF
raising a revenue.
The tax should not, however, be
distributed in the manner proposed
in this bill. Small legacies should
be exempt entirely. The Court
costs are already burdensome
enough without the addition of a
fresh exaction. Moreover, instead
of dropping the differential scale
at $4,000, it might be carried
much higher. The weight of tax
alton falls far too heavily upon the
poor, and tax On legacies afford:
an admirable opportunity TO secure

Mr.. THURsToN's Pearl Harbor
letter, which we publish to-day on
the sixth page, will attract general
attention. There is one criticism,
and only one which it requires, and
that is, that he does not call for
sufficient consideration to be paid
by the United States for so valu-
able franchise. It is not enough
to guarantee interest or even the
principal. The assumption by the
United States of the entire national
debt is not too much to ask or to
be given.

THE CUSTOM

OF placing val.
uables under lock and key, dates back
to the time when the human race first
gathered together in towns and cities.
The strong box then, was made OF wood,
thought to be the acme OF security for the
age.
In 1907 such chest kept the crown
Jewels of Scotland No attempt seems to
have been made to construct a fre-proof
Safe until about 1925. Then a Yankee
produced an oaken chest of solid planks,
saturated with brine, and covered with
iron sheets. The key weighed pound.
About 1850 the filling between the outer
and inner lining with tire-proof compost
tons was adopted. Constant progress
has been made until to-day, the Halls
Safe stands the Unconquered champion
of the age, TT in doubt which is the best
Safe, ask some business man But there
is no doubt about Halls for they have
always stood the test. This is 10 lille
boast, but an undisputed fact.

ANONYMOUS WRITING.

We cannot too highly commend
the practice which is gaining in
favor with our writer's of news
paper communications of signing
and publishing their own names
with the communicated articles.
1t is easy to understand why
many prefer not to make known
their authorship of articles censur-
ing Government officials who
might not hesitate to make the
authors, if known, the losers or
sufferers for such censure. 1t
would often be public misfortune
if such criticism were prevented by
requiring publication of the critics
name.
But when this is said, all is said
in defense of such anonymous
newspaper articles.
To attack private citizens under
the guise of pseudonyms has an
element of meanness and coward
ice. If one has a bone to pick
with his neighbor, and wishes to
perform that action in the public
press, why should he hide his
name ? The public press is not
paid or established for the purpose
of feeding or encouraging private
grudges or personal filings made by
those who dare not come out
openly.
Nor should any reputable jour
nal use the subterfuge of pre-
tended communication to say what
it fears to say editorially.
What we say of anonymous COM
munications of course applies to
newspapers which no man dares to
own editorially. They ought not
to be encouraged.
This journal contemplates con-
fining its publication of anony-
NOUS contributions containing
matter of a personal nature, to arti-
cles censuring governmental Off
GERS and others standing in a sim.
liar relation to the public, and tc
require the writer's of all other arti
eles to allow their names to be
published. This is not only :
guaranty of good faith. 1t is {
guaranty that the writers are ready
to stand by and defend what they
write, and that they believe il
what they write. We are of th'
opinion, that good manners il
journalism will also be materi
ally improved by such require
ment, and that good work is NOR
; likely to be put into the contribu
ton.

How the Slang Phrase, "Chalk Your Hat, -
Originated.

HOW the Siang fnrase, Cnhk hOut hhSy
Originated.
This is said to have come from literal
Illustration of the words. In the days
prior to railroads admiral Reedside
was the owner of various lines of stage
coaches. Much of his life was passed in
Washington. At the annual adjourn
ment of congress he would pass his
friends of the house and senate-he was
well acquainted with all the prominent
politicians of his era-over any stage
line he controlled. He would say to a
member from Kentucky, for instance,
II suppose you are going back to Louis
vile and I'll pass you through my stage"
When he was asked how, his reply would
be, "Give me your hat" Taking it he
would make cabalistic mark on the hat
band, impossible to counterfeit, and
return it, saying, "That will serve your
turn; any of my agents will recognize
that anywhere, and won't receive cent
from the man whose hat is so marked"
Reedside was right. His factors always
acknowledged that hieroglyph. The
thing became so common that many at
tempts were made to initiate it, but the
culprits were invariably detected and
compelled ther to leave the stage or
pay their fare. In the south and west
"chalk your hat long signified what the
east styles deadheading.
