A Promising Member.

So Tar as the Senatorial contest in Mich
igan is concerned as between Senator Patton
and Congressman Burrows, the republicans
seem to have before them one of two alterna-
tives. They can retain in the House a
leader, man of commanding influence in
national councils. and return to the Senate
a promising member, who has already
gained somewhat of an influence and pow
er; or they can put bran new man into the
Senate, and supply his place in the House
with piece Of ra,O material. AS to which
policy of the two would best subserve the
interests of the party in the state and nation,
no sane man ought to have one moments
doubt. The best political sense lies in re-
turning Mr.. Patton to the Senate and re-
tanning Mr.. Burrows in the House. The
promoters Of the Burrows Senatorial boom
in this district are working either in further
ance of his personal ambition, or else in the
hope to step into his Congressional shoes.
Neither motive is especially patriotic or
praiseworthy.-A lbion Recorder.

The Franchise Fee Law.

Among the important acts of the
legislature of 1893 the amendment of
the franchise fee law must not be over
looked. The legislature of 1891, on the
recommendation of Gov. Luce in his
retiring message, passed an act to re-
quire all corporations fling articles of
incorporation in the state department
to pay a certain percentage on their
capital stock as fee for incorporation.
The law was so imperfect that the
largest corporations, those organized
in other states but doing business here,
had to pay no tax. The last legislature
amended the law SO as to include all
such corporations, as well as all in
creases of capital stock by corporations
already foi med, so that a corporation
could not evade the law by organizing
with a small capital stock and then inn
mediately increasing it. The result has
been that, even in these hard times,
the amount received as franchise fees,
from foreign corporations and increase
OF capital stock of all corporations
since May 10, 1898, when the new law
went into effect, aggregates 0,67s.57
This is but one act out of many bnue-
6cial to the state passed by the last
legislature.

That Incnma Tar.

After bowling through several cam
palgns about the injustice of war
taxes In times of peace" and "class leg
islation" the present Democratic adj
mlnistration has resorted to one of the
most offensive "war taxes" and most
glaring pieces of "class legislation"
the income tax. Without stopping
at present to quote the eloquent de-
nunciation of that form OF taxation
made on the floor of the senate by no
less Democrat than Senator Hill, or
to note the many other objections that
may be urged against it, let us notice
the Detroit Free Press recent account
of how it worked during war times.
1t was an interview with an old
internal revenue officer. After allud-
ing to the temptation which existed
under the old conditions for capitalists
to underrate their incomes, which
dwindled fearfully when they were
confronted with the obnoxious tax,
the account proceeds:
"Some rather close-fsted millionaires
received pitiably small income ac-
cording TO the sworn records. But a
time came when there was change;
the newspapers began to publish the
incomes and several persons went
before the public as comparatively
poor men. One capitalist had his in
come published and it caused general
comment. The capitalist came tearing
up to the Office.
"'How is it those figures went into
the paper that way?' he demanded.
"'That is the way you swore to
them on the record
"'That is impossible. Why, those
figures are ridiculous. What do you
suppose the public thinks Of them?
Really, sir, it was very wrong in you
to permit such figures to go in print
"'We can settle that by referring to
your statement was the reply.
1.-THE statement was produced and
there were the figures as published.
The capitalist was visibly embarrassed.
"'What can I do about this?' he
asked.
"'You can send in an amended
return
This was done, and thereafter
tolerably fair estimate of the old
gentleman's income was received.
But if a few wealthy persons under
estimated their incomes, insolvent men
threw the balance the other way by
declaring quite handsome incomes and
reluctantly paying the taxes rather
than to be considered bankrupt"
But the Democratic income tax law
takes away this safeguard against
false neutrality-suspicious. publicity
for, UNDER THE NEW LAW THE RECORDS
ARE PRIVATE. Dishonest millionaires
may swear falsely to reduce their
taxes and have their perjury hidden
from the public, and dishonest bank
rupts may hide their insolvency from
their creditors-all through the grace
of Democratic law
What do the people think of this
kind of legislation?
