Advocates of the income tax theory

Advocates of the income tax theory
think they have strong argument In
the policy of the British government
along the same line. The threatened
deficit in the government revenues, on
account of the general stagnation of
business throughout the world is to be
made good by the revival of the tax on
incomes. The English system is very
flexible, being so constructed as to be
called into operation, or rather gradu-
ated in its scale Increased or decreased)
as the exigencies of the treasury may
require. Without discussing the merits
or objections to an income tax it is wor-
thy to note that the strongest defenders
of the system in England are those who
represent the largest capital, bankers and
money lenders. The reason for this is
said to be that these comparatively few
find it an easy matter, through the in
fiuence of their great wealth, TO evade
the income tax, leaving the burden to
fall upon the larger number of moderate
means and smaller incomes, with whom
it is less expensive to pay the tax than
to contest it. 1t would be the same
here.

WOMEN ARE NOT TAXED.

The unibbIe the Wichita EAGLE makes
| in discussing the woman suffrage question.
| that il is not the woman but her property
that is taxed, is unworthy newspaper of
the preteniions of me EAGLE. The point
| is that the woman has to pay taxes and is
not allowed voice in levying them or in
expeudiug them. That is where the in
Justice comes 10. Our fnrpfsthers fought
4 long bloody war 10 establish the prin-
ciple that there should be DO taxation
without representalion.-Leave
Times.
The taxation about which our fore
fathers kicked was revenue stamp ar
rangement applied to certain lines OF
goods which that government compelled
the colonies to buy or go without. The
declaration was more protest against
an enforced commercial relation than
any real objection to the Insignificant tax
imposed.
To say that we are surprised that the
Times should held property tax to be
a qui BILE but feebly expresses our aston
shment. PoIl-tax excepted. we reaffirm
that IL dividual tax, either male or fe-
male, is unknown TO the constitution and
laws, and can nowhere be found in legal
holding or court decisions, and If any
owner doubts it let him keep the money
due from his property in his pocket and
see if the property don't pay the taxes
levied against it and also pay penalties
for the delinquency of its representative.
When iG comes to the payment of prop
erty taxes if its representative or owner
fails to respond, the property it turned
over to the proprietor5hip of some one
who will pay, or Otherwise it reverts to
the public and becomes non-taxable.
When it comes to money or any other
token of credit they all represent taxable
values and do not represent individuals,
male or female.
But, even if men and women were
both taxed and taxed alike, that would
constitute no reason for them both vot-
ing alike, or nursing baby alike, or for
doing anything else alike. There are no
female tramps, yet women and men are
nearer physically alike than they are
alike mentally or spiritually. The bar
or the body which separates the life here
from that higher existence beyond. is
not so impenetrable, is less barrier in
the woman than i'll the man. Psyche.
speaking, woman is far superior
to man, but that is no reason why
the abnormal of womankind should
seek to force all her Sex down
to the coarse male standard in every
thing. God knows that too many of
them are thus brutalized. Man is more
the animal in about the degree that a
woman is more spiritual. The truth is
woman is endowed with just enough OF
the animal to make her content with, or
rather to make her capable of enduring |
man. But for that animalislic touch i'll
woman the race would cease. On the !
other hand if the exceptions found |
among women, if the abnormal of her !
own sex could have their way, civiliza |
zation, as it exists, would be something |
else, and be entirely different. When
ever and wherever wcmen and men are |
of the same grade, physically and spirit
uaiiy, there is condition of life re-
moved from the purely brutal but as by |
the uncertain line that separates tho
Matabeles and the ourang-outangs.

THE END MUST COME.
But do not let us get IN impression from
chronology that because the years of time
have been SO long in procession they are to
go on forever Matter is not eternal. No,
mol If you watch half day, or n whole
day, or two days, as once did; to see Il mil
itary procession, you remember the last
brigade, and the last regiment, and the
last company finally passed on, and as we
rose to 20 we said to each other, 1T is all
over"
So this mighty procession Of earthly
years will terminate. Just when | have
no power to prognosticate, but science con-
firms the Bible prophecy that the earth
cannot always last. Indeed there has been
fatality of worlds The moon is merely
the corpse ofwhat it once was, and scientists
have again and again gone up in their
observatories to attend the deathbed of
dying worlds and have seen them cremated.
So am certain, both from the word of God
and science, that the worlds chronology
will sooner or later come to its last chapter.
The final century will arrive and pass on,
and then will come the final decade, and
then the final year, and the final month,
and the final day. The last spring will
swing its censer of apple blossoms and the
last winter bank its SHOWS. The last sun
set will burn like Moscow and the last
morning radiate the hills. The clocks will
strike their last hour, and the watches will
tick their last second. No incendiaries will
be needed to run hither and yon with
torches to set the world on fire.
Chemistry teaches us that there is very
inflammable clement in water. While oXy-
gen makes up part of the water the other
part of the water is hydrogen, and that is
very combustible. The oxygen drawn out
from the water, the inhammable hydrogen
will put instantly into contiagration the
Hudsons and Savannahs and Mississippis
and Rhines and Urals and Danubes, and At
lantic and Pacific and Indian and Mediter-
ranean seas. And then the Angel of God
descending from the throne might put one
foot in the surf of the sea and the other on
the beach and cry to the four winds Of
heaven: Time was! But time shall be nc
longer" Yet found in Christ, pardoned
and sanctifed, we shall welcome the day
with more gladness than you ever welcomed
a Christmas or New Years morn.
/ When wrapt in fire the realms of ether glow
| And heavens last thunder shakes the earth be-

And light thy torch at natures funeral pile.
