Roots with Air Chamber.

In the Sunderbands. q tract Of
swampy forest in the southern part Of
the Ganges delta, large numbers of the
trees are provided with curious root
suckers, consisting OF woody processes
growing upward at irregular points
along the curse Of the roots, and project
Ing one 10 three feet above ground. The
object OF these suckers is to protect the
tree from the uprooting effect of winds.
They also contain air chambers for the

We have several times referred to the
fact that rich men pay far less taxes
than poor men in proportion TO the
amount of their property. as an all
sufficient reason why some special tax
must be laid upon the rich i'm order to
preserve any equality in taxation. Mr..
Stead's book on Chicago makes some
revelations as to tax-dodging by rich
men in that city that surpasses any
thing that had been previously exposed
in this line The total assessment OF
personal property of eight of the wealth
lest men in Chicago is as follows: Mar
shall Field. $4,000; Marshall Field. jr..
$1,000; P. d. Armour. $1,000; George NJ.

And as for money it may safely be said
that there is not 100 days in the year

personal assessment
In Chicago the system of assessment
is different from that in most other
places in the country. The tax laws of
Illinois are relics of past century. No
man swears to his assessment. The as
SCISSORS do that. and it is commonly
charged that they are bribed by rich
men to return low assessments. This
has been repeatedly asserted by Chica-
go papers. Mr.. Stead says: There is
a heavier sum in solid dollars pocketed
every year by the official perjurers of
Chicago than is paid to any other Off
Gals in the service of the city" The
presumption is that this is true. But
whether it is or not what stronger rea-
son than this could be given for inpos-
ing an income tax on these men. If
there is to be any equality in taxation
ii must necessarily come from a form
of taxation that reaches the rich alone.
If this nation is to retain any semblance
of justice in taxation it must impose
such a tax. and the income tax proposed
by the Wilson bill reaches the evil as
we'll as any that could be proposed.

NO TARIFF COMMISSION.

There are visible signs Of weakening
on the part of the democratic senator's
who have attempted to violate the
pledges of the party platform and the
oft-repeated promises to the people from
the platform and from the democratic
press. One Of the most notable of these
Is Senator MOrgan's proposal to take the
whole tariff question out Of the hands of
congress and place it with a commission
OF four members beside the secretary of
east and two west Of the Mississippi.
and no more than three of them are to
be members OF any one party. This
commission is to report to the president
what it considers just rates. and If he
approve the report he is to order duties
TO be collected accordingly. The evident
purpose Of this is to delay action and,
If possible. TO get the question into the
hands of conservative men who will
deal kindly with the tariff benefciaries.
Mr. Morgan claims that this form of
procedure would be constitutional. We
do not believe 1t. because the constitu-
tion expressly vests "all legislative
powers herein granted in congress, and
Specifically so 'the power 10 lay and
collect taxes, duties, imposts and
excuses" The fifth amendment provides
that no person shall be deprived Of
life. liberty OF property without due pro-
cess Of law" No commission can have
any power to make a law. and no au-
thority can collect taxes without a law
But whether it be constitutional or not,
the scheme is not democratic, and 1t is
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1894-03-28

not what the country wants. The demo-
cratic party genrally condemned the
reciprocity clause of the Mckinley bill
because it delegated law-making power
TO the president, but 1t was not nearly
so clear a delegation of legislative power
as this would be. This would out
Herod Herod. The trainers of the ,consti-
tuition never contemplated any such
thing, and nothing but the most vicious
extension of the liberal construction
theory could be offered in apology for it.
The people elected commission for the
express purpose Of revising the tariff.
1t is now sitting in Washington, and the
dignifed portion Of II is making a bloom
ing ass of itself. Six years ago the peo-
pie thought they would have the tariff
reformed by it's friends" Two years
ago they changed their minds completely,
and decided that the tariff should be re-
formed by it's enemies. That is why the
democratic party is in power in Wash
ingtOn. That is why, if it does not do it's
duty, it will not be in power in Washing
ton hereafter. If the democratic party
deceives the people there will rise up a
party which will not deceive them. And
if such a revolution as that occurs there
will be no concessions made to trusts
and combines in its legislation. 1t will
wipe the whole accumulation OF thirty
years Of republican favoritism. corrup-
ton and scoundrelism out OF existence.
This democratic congress must do its
duty. It cannot evade or shirk it. And
it cannot do IL too quickly.

The democratic editors will have a

Democratic editors make no effort to
square their free raw material re-

gospel and no act of treacherous demo-
cratic senators can change it. Demo-

principles or policy and the sooner they
learn that rock-rooted truth the better
off they will be.
