THE INCOME TAX.

Every person with an income of 81 900
per year and every business corporation
has to face the income tax of the tariff
bill. As showing what is considered
persons income let us quote some items
from the law:
Interests upon notes, bonds and other
securities; profits realized within year
from sales of real estate purchased with
in a year from sales of real estate pur
chased within two years previous; in
terest received or accrued upon all notes,
bonds, mortgages or other forms of in
debtedness, whether paid or not, if
good and collectable, less the interest
paid by such person during this year;
all interest on bonds, notes or coupons;
receipts from live stock, sugar, cotton,
wool, butter, cheese, pork, beef, NUT
ton, or other meats; hay, grain or other
productions of produce of the estate of
such person, less the amount expended
in the production of such stock or pro-
duce; all other gains, profits or income
derived from any source whatever, ex-
cept that derived in salary from the
United States.
The following deductions are allowed: !:
L. Necessary expenses to carry on
business.
2. All interest paid during the year.
5. All taxes paid during the year.
4. All losses actually sustained not
compensated by insurance or otherwise.
5. Debts ascertained to be worthless.
Another provision is that:
In computing the income of any per-
son, corporation or association, there
shall not be included the amount re-
ceived from any corporation. company
or association if the tax of two per cent
has been paid upon its net profits of
such organization as required by law.
The last clause given above would in
clude all employees or corporations, al
though not intended to do so. Every
corporation will be obliged to make
sworn statement, in which it will be
forced to state:
l. Its gross profits.
2. Its expenses, exclusive of interest,
annuities and dividends.
9. The net profits without allowing
for interest, annuities or dividends.
4. Amounts paid for interest, annui-
ties and dividends.
8. Every person who receives sal
ary in excess of 1900, and the amount.

President Cleveland has issued a
proclamation granting amnesty to all
Mormons who have violated the laws
concerning polygamy. The. president
gives as reason for his action that the
church authorities have instructed their
people to obey the law and to cease the
practice of polygamy, and the president,
believing that the practice has been
abandoned, pardons all who have yio-
lated the law.

The latest news from China is decid-
edly interesting. The Chinese troops at
Wiju are said to have mutinied. The
army is lacking in two things, one is
patriotism and the 9th er ammunition.
At Win the troops mutinied and threw
away their arms, because they had no
ammunition. Peking is said to be in a
state of panic, the mention of the Japan
ese being sufficient to make the whole
city tremble. The Japs on the contrary
are full of fight and enthusiasm, and
that they will march on Peking is GER
tain fact. China is already whipped,
her armies are demoralized and her
people in state of terror. The next
month will show great things in the
Chinese empire.

TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
Judge IInnfOrd ON OleOmnrgnrinc
and Postal Laws.


SEATTLE. Wash. Jan. 1.-TWO i'm
portant decisions have been rendered by
United states District Judge IIanford.
One practically declares the Oleomar-
garine law imperative, and the other
says that private sealed communications
are not included IN the United States
statute prohibiting the sending of OBJ
scene or libellous matter through the
mails.
The first decision was made on a de-
murrer to an Indictment for violating
the regulations of the Treasury Depart
ment In regard to the labelling OF pack
ages of oleomargarine, the Court holding
that Congress cannot delegate its legis-
latiEe powers or prescribe punishment
for violation OF the regulations to be
afterwards prescribed by some one else
The Oleomargarne law, Judge Hanford
holds, does not prescribe any regula-
ttons, but left The making of them to the
Treasury Department. and therefore no
one can he punished for violating them,
and the law thus becomes practically in
operative.
The second decision holds that the
clause ''or other publication refers to
all specified items which are declared to
be non -mailabe In the paragraph OF the
postal laws prohibiting the sending of
obscene and libellous matter through the
mails
man was indicted for sending an OBJ
scene private letter, which was sealed
and, as II was not alleged that a third
person had seen the letter before it was
sent. II was held to be no publication.

The Quality of Meats.

1t Is gradually dawning upon people
who eat at hotels and in restaurants,
and even upon those who do their own
marketing, that the character OF meat
offered for domestic consumption Is, as
a general thing, detcriorating. In other
words there Is "A poorer and cheaper
class of meats coming in, and frst-qual-
ity meas, while they can be had, are
held comparatively high. The reason Is
that there Is a large export demand for
meats, especially beef, and, strange to
say, the greatest demand, particularly
In England, is for the best beef, and 1t
brings good prices SO that to-day West
ern provision dealers and shippers are
actually competing successfully with the
London butchers in their own markets.
Cheap freights and the new refrlgerating
processes have much to do with It.
Great quantities OF Ice are no longer re-
quired to keep meat during the trip from
the West and across the ocean. A re-
frlgerating machine with ammonia as its
basis Is all tha; is required.

UNsoUND OBJECTIONS.

The fight against the income tax Ia
carried on mainly on the pleas that 1t Is
inquisitorial, that It is class legislation
and that II encourages perjury.
An income tax is no more inquisitorial
than other taxes must be II honestly en-
forced. 1t is less SO than many others. The
person to be assessed receives a blank
form with proper instructions as to the
filling up and exemptions. On this he
writes down the sources and amount Of
his income. IL the total is within the
exempt limit he signs a statement to that
effect. II above the limit he makes the
deductions allowed and returns the sur
plus as the sum on which he Is liable to
pay. No one but the local surveyor or
assessor sees his return. and the ofhcial
is sworn to secrecy. II the amount re-
turned by the citizen as that on which
he is liable to taxation Is accepted as
correct by the assessor. the tax Is col
lected and there Is an end OF the matter
II the local assessor or surveyor has
good reason to believe that the income
Of the citizen is understated he sur
charges" him a certain sum: that II 10
say, he increases the total OF the return
by such amount as he considers just
and notifies the citizen of the fact. III
the citizen chooses to pay tax on the In
creased amount he makes no opposi-
ton to the raise and no inquisition takes
place at all. If he resists the surcharge
he Is required to show before the proper
board what his income actually Is and
whence 1t is derived.
When an income is derived from the

dends. II the entire income of the re-
ceiver Of the dividends falls within the
amount exempted from taxation alto
gether, he sets forth that fact in a
form supplied by the Government and
| obtains IL return of the amount deducted
from him. There is nothing linguistic

The objection that an income tax ZEN

and absurd. The tariff is a much more
prolific source OF perjury, and 1t is
notorious that the tax laws OF this
State, at least, are so framed as to make
it an easy matter to falsely swear OFF
personal taxation.
II an income tax is open to sound and
valid objections 1t Is proper that they
should be urged against the enactment
OF the law. But It Is neither wise states

Men in womnn's sphere.

To the Editor:
think that our kind friend, who 80 gallsntly

convenient TO move in yes, to live in "woman's 5
sphere" such as drcssmakers. cooks. &C. Doesn't
our friend call these very things ''womany
du.es?" Then why not say that nine women
out OF ten prefer not to have their husbands in
their kitchens. or perhaps supervising the max
ing OF a piece OF their wearing apparel? 1t Is
all very well. but let man stick 10 his place
and woman won't get out OF hers Let the men,
the so-callcd men," he men and pay the woman
price for her work which will not drive her to
seek what will pay for bread and butter clothes
and perhaps support mother and sister or invalid

as they can be called women. but when they are
called 'mannish things then there is nothing
manly about them any than there is

Women officials.

The experiment of employing women
Instead Of mcr in the French postal
service has been tried with such good
results in France OF late that the Gov
ernment has recently appointed num-
ber OF women to excellent positions OF
trust.
There are at present 1858 women en-
ployed at provincial post-ofiices, LOGO fe-
male telegraph clerks; In siXty-nine
towns the telephone stations are under
the management OF women, anordlng
employment for 74J. The national saw
ings banks employ 4c5 women.
The railways have, however. been the
best friends to the women: 1t was the
Dombes Company which made the ex-
pertinent of employing female clerks
AZ. the offices, or as station mistresses at
the small stations, but gradually nearly
all the French railway companies have
followed this example: women are used
at the ticket offices. as watchers., &C.;
the East Company employs s.oe2 women.
