LOOKING FOR CREIGHTON.
An In surance Agent Who Has Made
Advance Collections.

Where is Thomas Creighton? is ques-
ton that is not only botherDg the offlclals
of the Equitable Insurance Company put
also number of people on the outside.
Creighton was life insurance solicitor
of the Equitable Company, whose office
here is in the Crocker building.
When he came to Ransom White, the
resident secretary. be was taultlessiy
attired, proved himself to be OF nne
family and brought the very best OF refer
ences. AS a con sequence Mr.. White I'M
mediately engaged him as solicitor.
He proved to be an energetic man and
earned plenty of money. but where it
went no one can tell
Nevertheless he was living far beyond
his means, for he applied 10 l.. Herman for
board and lodging at his home on Pacific
street, below Battery.
Herman, who is saloon-keeper, had
known Creighton's family, and for some
kind deeds they had done him he willingly
extended the hospitality of his house to
Tom.
True, it did look strange to see young
man attired in garments which Ward Nc
Allister, the leader of the New York 400.
would declare as perfectly proper, coming
out of so humble house. Moreover, he
had not a room to himself, for Harry
sailor occupied the same apartments.
Herman introduced him to sea captains.

in sured, trusting to Creighton. Herman
himself paid him SIC for the first premium,
retaining money previously given.
When the saloon-keeper had submitted
TO a thorough examination medically the
doctor asked his business.
Il keep a saloon" was the answer.
why didn't you say that before ?"
asked the physician. "We never insure
the lives of saloon-keepsrs."
The liquor-vender Immediately pro-
eded to nunt up Creighton, but he was
not to be found. He had made a hastv
tour of the town, asking and, in most
cases. receiving advances on life-nsurance
policies, and then had completely disap-
peared.
II have hired private detectives to hunt
for this man." said Mr.. White to a re-
porter, yesterday. "and | have received
word that he is located at Stockton. If ]

THE PROPOSED INCOME TAX.

The Ways and Means Committee has
decided TO let the income tax proposition
stand on its own merits. In this the COM
mlttee Is wise. 1t is a matter of doubt
whether an income tax can be collected
unless 1t complies with section 2 article /,
OF the Federal constitution. which de-
clares that Representatives and direct taxa
tion shall be apportioned among the sew
eral States according to population. Sec.
tion of the same article says that no
capitation or other direct tax shall be lev
led unless in proportion to population as
shown by the census. On the question
whether an income tax is a capitation tax
or other direct tax great deal NAV be
said on both sides. But legislation con-
cerning the constitutionality of which
there is reasonable doubt may well
be let alone. An income tax is not a
necessity. 1t is at best but an expedient.
Ample revenue may be derived from
duties on imports and taxes on internal
products that can stand taxation. The
1arty in power would rather not impose

under the direction of the Interior Depart
ment. the Southern Pacific would be pre-
vented from selecting parcels which had
already been transferred to settlers by
patent.
1t is further contended that the act Of
Congress above referred to did not re-
auirs the Interior Department to with
draw the sections within which the COM
pany was to make its selections from
settlement.
The questions to be determined seem to
be: If the Southern Pacific acquired by
act of Congress vested rights to all the
land within the limits OF its grant? Had
settlers no right to buy land within these
limits pending the selection of parcels by
the company? Could the Government
give no title to any land within the limits
of the grant until the company should
designate the parcels it proposed 10 claim
under the act?
Judicial opinions upon this point con-
tiiet In tie case of st. Paul VS.. Winona
Railroad it was held that in cases where
he act of Congress granting the land does
not order the withdrawal of the body of
the land pending selection, priority of
selection secures priority of right.
What the settlers ask is that the Govern
ment defend its own title. If il did not
have any title the persons TO whom it
issued patents have right to compeDsa-
ton. If it did have title when it sold
the lands, it has one now, subject, of
course, to the sale.
The settlers cannot sue the Government,
neither can they declare war against the
Government. But the fact that there is
no way TO compel the GOvernmen to do
justice should make the Government the
more prompt in doing justice of its own
