tie shoots His Head ALI to Pieess-No
Cause Known Ter the Aet-He
Was a Hard Working, Hon
est Citizen.

On Monday morning, October I'd,
Adam kieffaber committed suicide
on the Carter farm, 4 miles north J..
east OF Mexico, by shooting his head
literally to pieces. While his wife
was preparing breakfast he went IN
to the corn field, laid down on his
back, placed a double barrel shot
gun on his breast, the muzzle under
his chin and discharged both bar
rels, literally tearing his head to
pieces. Deceased was a hard work
ing, honest German farmer and
about six months agoemarried Mrs.
Burkamp, with whom, as far as is
knawn, he lived pleasantly. He
was IS years old and in fairly good
circumstances. While his crop was
not very good this season he was not
very much in debt and no real cause,
as far as We know, can be given for
this rash act. He was very much
liked by his neighbors, and if he
had asked for assistance could readi-
ly have gotten it. One theory is that
the deceased was standing up and
placed the muzzle of the gun to his
forehead. He apparently had his
hat on and his pipe in his mouth
when the deed was committed. His
wife says that he was demented ,hav-
ing acted in a strange manner for
the last two weeks.
ON ACCOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS.
A letter in German was found on
the deceased which stated that he
in debt some two or three hum
dred dollars and gave that as the
reason for killing himself.

GRADUATED TAXATION.

GAN taxation Is vexation," quoth
one who know humanity well and the
Ills to which humanity Is subject. He
might have added, for he equally well
knew, that while there are inequalities
and hence injustice In all kinds OF tax.
alton, yet soms system Is necessary,
even though II be q had one, to the
maintenance OF every government.
Modern thought has grappled long
and earnestly with the question as to
how to provide, with the greatest
amount OF fairness and equality, for
the payment by the people OF the
burdens necessary to the support Of
the state. Much advancement toward
the desired end must DO reported; and
1t seems now that the plan likely 10
receive most general acceptance is that
which insists that the rich shall
DO compelled to pay MS much
aud the poor as little ms possible.
The pro rata idea Il giving
place to that OF graduated assessment,
ami in At least one county, Swi zsrland,
the latter system has been carried into
extensive operation. The British
legation in the capital OF that little
republic has lately sent out a report on
tue workings OF the different systems
in use; anu in 1t appears much that IL
OF interest aud value. In four OF the
cantons there are complete progressive
systems, according 10 which the tax,
AS rule, is restricted to incomes
derived from pensions, annulties,
uaufruGts, salaries, wages, and the
earnings OF labor generally, Income
derived from capital being fixed on iIs
capital value, either as u general tax
on fortunes VI az tax on
personality. 80 far, then, az the
wealthy are concerned, the principle
OF progressive taxation ia applied in
tue shape OF a tax on landed property
and capital; and IL Is on the Industrial
and professional classes that the
progressive income tax presses.
But the most thorough application OF
the principle ia found In the canton Of
Naud. There the realty is divided into
three CLASSES; Tho FIRST includes prop.
critics under $1,000 In value, the second
properties between S5OOJ and 100000 In
value, and the third those over s2O,O
rhe amount Of the tax is fixed yearly;
and the rate at present Is s. per S50On

TIE EFFECT OF AMNESTY.


IL will be OF intefos, to the public to

ton by the Governor is concerned, tho
late Presidential proclamation Of AM
uesty has received full force aud effect
In this Territory. This will be under.

commission as notary public has
just been Issued to Il. A. Box
OF brigham CITY. Under the
law Mt. Box was ineligible as
either voter or oiilce.holder, he having
served term OF imprisonment for un-
lawful cohabitatlon as defined by act
OF Congress. But he was able to avail
himself Of the amnesty granted In the
proclamation Of President Harrison,
aud on this showing clalmeI the
rights OF citizen. The Governor holds
that the claim may no. bs denied, aud
accordingly Issued n commission as
above noted. Tho case is interesting
as being the frat Of Its kind.

the second, and so per 5000 for the
third class. Personal property Is ais,
divided into three classes personally
proper, incomes and uauiructs, and
proceeds Of labor; and each Of these
IL agaiu divided into seven classes, the
tax per $500 rising from $40 to $40.
Thus n man with salary Of $4,000
would pay $500, with one OF
$500, $50. AMI with salary
OF $500, s.. The increase Of
revenue from this tax amounts TO some
$4,000, the population OF Vaud being
about 2is,0 900. Friends OF the system
point to tho increase as u proof Of iu
successful working and advocate Its
extension to other cantons. But II Is
contended, on the other hand, that the
fiscal gain ismore than counterbalanced
by depreciation In land values and In.

are said to have leit the canton, while
many regularly close their houses for

canton. Tho consequence Of all this Is
that many properties have DEPRECATED

greatly.
These objections would seem 10 DO
weighty, and 10 constitute quito an
obstacle to the extension Of the system
Ia the other cantons; 40 much 40, In.

canton Of the republic, was signally

not be lost upon the rest Of tbs world,

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

IL the people OF America oin dlvelt
themselves OF pre- :. liee long enough TO
look calmly at the question Of Chinese
exclusion, they Will have TO agrss that
as n matter Of political economy this
statement OF tho case Il very nearly
correct. Many men have thought aud
said the same thing; there Is no more
reason 10 exclude Chincse than there
is to exclude industrious, law.abiding
subjects Of any other foreign power;
for statistics prove that they rarely II
ever become pa1pcrs or public

number there are few OF them that
have to be ratei among the criminal
classes. As to the complaint that their
