THE FAIREST OF TANES.

The New York World thus discourses
upon the subject indicated by the head
line: "A graduated income tax is pecu-
liarly a fair tax. Under it the man who
profits most by the favorable conditions
maintained in the republic will pay most
for the republics support.
Under it the taxes will be placed
where they are most easily borne. I'm
like other taxes it falls only upon results
achieved, laying no embarrassment what
ever upon endeavor.
"Under it the poor mar will have full
opportunity to lay the foundations of
wealth through savings,
Under it profits will be taxed and
wages exempt; business enterprise will
be free to earn. and will make its contri,
buttons to the public revenues only out
of its surplus earnings.
Under it wealth will no longer escape
while poverty is made to pay. Under it
prosperity will be invited where now it
is discouraged.
"No plan so equitable has ever been
devised for raising necessary
Why should not the present congress
levy such a tax as a part of the reform
work it has been commissioned to do?"
The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1892-05-28

IT. THE democratic house passed the
''largest river and harbor appropriation
bill ever introduced" the republican
senate raised it several millions and now
asks for a conference committee to adjust
the measure 80 as to meet the concur
renee OF both houses. But it makes no
difference how large it is a republican
senate will pass it and a republican pres
ident will sign it. The house cannot
overestimate the ability Of the senate
and president to swallow any appropria
ton bill the former may pass.
The weekly tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1891-1894, 1892-05-28
VOTED LIKE DEMOCRATS.

Jolley and Picker, republican mem,
bers of the house from South Dakota
in voting for free binding Irvine re-
corded the protest of the farmers OF the
country against those schedules of the
iniquitous Mckinley tariff which i'm
pose onerous tax burdens upon the la
boring classes. They furthermore vir-
tually admitted by their votes the sound
ness of the democratic position that all
those necessaries consumed by working.
men should be relieved, as far as posi-
bic, from tariff taxation.
Farmers and other laboring men want
other free articles besides binding Irvine.
They want free clothing and free blank
cts and free cheap carpets, free tinware,
and free farm implements. All these
n%ecessaries are fairfield under the Nc
Kinlcy law and their increased cost by
reason of the tax comes directly from
the pockets of those classes of or citi.
cent least able to bear it. And the
money thus wrung from them goes into
the already overlooking Golfers of the
huge trusts and %monopolics created by
the Mckinley tariff.
TO be consistent Messrs. Jolley and
Picker should support all those other
democratic measures looking to the re-
duction of the price of the other necessa-
ries Of laboring men mentioned. They
are republicans, but as they represent
laboring communities they should con
tinue to vote like democrats to reduce
the lost of living to those who carr their
bread by the sweat Of their brows.

HEPUDIATION OK BANKRUPTCY

Deserving soldiers should be gcner-
ously provided for by the government.
Men who risked their lives to preserve
the union should be remembered in a
substantial manner by the nation. But
when thousands of the undeserving find
a place upon the pension roll it is time
to call a halt and review the list. The
New York World in commenting upon
this matter gives a few figures which
may be of interest to many. Among
other things it saws; THAT on the LIST
of April there were IN the rolls S21,2GI
names. or these over a quarter of a
million 25J,4iS were added in the past
ten months, most of them under the
pauperizing pension act"
just think of it! Over a quarter Of a
million names added to the pension roll
within the past ten months. At this
rate there will soOn be a million persons
drawing money from the taxpayers OF
the country and the last appropriation OF
Sl3J, 100000 for pensions must be largely
increased to meet the demands Of the
act. Our pensioners now nearly equa
in number the combined armies of Ger
many, Italy and Austria Hungary, ant
when another new year commences they
will be one in twelve of the entire voting
population of the country, and this near
ly thirty years after the close OF the war
The appropriations for pensions To-
next year is double the cost of RUNNING
the whole government during the yea
before the war. No fault would be fount
if these pensions were given to deserving
men, but they are not thus given. Dis
honosably discharged men, bounty jump
ers, deserters and men who never serve'
a day in the wal are among the benefic
iaries OF the government. This is wrong
1t is unjust to needy and deservin,
veterans and a reckless robbery OF tn
people in the name OF patriotism. IN,
taxpayers Of the country will see this IL
time and a congress will be elected tina
will honestly deal with the abuse. Un
less this be done Reputation OF bank
! ruptcy will follow. The pension roll Il
assuming dangerous proportions.
