THE Auditorium building at our
county seat is a pride to this county,
being the only first-class play house
we have. The possession of such a
room is sufficient to attract the best
talent to a town, as is being at pres
ent demonstrated. The committee,
however, has had some trouble with
the acoustics of the place, but ac-
cording to their late local papers,
they are expecting to receive some
new ones almost any day which
will be Immediately put in and the
thing will he fixed.

The Chicago Inter Ocean com
menting on the late elections goes
into glorification like this:
IF it rained upon the democrats
of Colorado it showed upon those of
Missouri. Kansas City, the home of
Senator Vest, voted against the can
didate of his party; St. Louis danced
upon the political grave of Majah
Jones, and "whooped it up" for Nc
k%inleyism and republicanism and for
free voters and for fair counts and
for all and singular the things and
qualities that the dear Majah so elo
quently was wont to denounce. Even
st. Joseph arose and cast a republic
an majority of 5000 upon the dead
carcass of free trade.

grand entry into the Populist's ranks
at Helena did not swell the votes
sufficiently to land any of the candi-

Bob is a good fellow and able, but if
he is sick of democracy and seeking
repentance he should become an

Enterprises: Senator Power is not
idle in his seat at Washington, but
is prepared at all times to take adj
vantage of every favorable oppor-
tunity to assist the state which he
represents. He has now prepared
an amendment to the tariff bill pro-
viding for the reenactment of the
Mckinley provision for a tariff on
wool. The amendment approves of
a duty of 7 cents per pound on wool
of first class, 8 cents on second, third
and fourth class exceeding 8 cents in
value. This is a reduction of about
one-third from the Mckinley bill,
and Senator Power says the reasons
for reducing the rates are his hopes
for getting democratic support for
the amendment.

York delegation voted solidly against
it. Great cheering and applause greet
ed the result. Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia then offered an amendment to in
crease the tariff on barley from 20 per
cent. to 20 percent, and on barley malt
from 30 per cent. to 80 per cent
Several amendments were offered to
Wilson's amendment. and the filibus-
tering which was started late last Sat-
urday afternoon on the same question.
was renewed. The opponents of a
higher duty on barley were able to fill
buster away the ten or fifteen minutes
which remained before the recess.
Wilson finally moved that debate be
closed, and vote was finally taken on
this last motion, but although the Re-
publicans and some of the Democrats
rushed to get between the tellers, the
hour Of $50 arrived before u quorum
had voted. and the House went into re-
cess, and the barley schedule again
went over.
Mir. Talbert, OF South Carolina, was
one of the speakers at the evening ses-
sion last night, but the reporters acci-
dentally omitted to state the fact. Tai
bert made an earnest appeal to the
committee to vote for the income tax
amendment. His remarks, though brief,
were strong and forcible. He was for
the masse, as against the classes.

upon the rich in proportion to their

upon the rich in proportion to their
means.
The main objection which has been
urged against the bill is that it is in
expedient. 1t is accused of being in
quisitorial, but it is no more so than
custom taxes, internal revenue taxes
and State taxes. The personal property
taxes collected in nearly all the States
arc far more more inquisitorial than
the Income tax. 1t is said that it in
vites perjury. This government has
too much important business on hand to
lose time looking after the morals of
men whose veracity is not worth two
cents on the dollar. The fact that
some may escape the tax is not obiec-
tionable to the law. 1t is objected that
this tax will endanger the tariff bill.
| am not afraid that any Democratic
member will refuse to relieve the COM
mon people Of the heavy burdens
placed upon them by the Mckinley bill
for fear he will impose light burden
by means Of an income tax upon those
who are amply able to bear it.
The close of Bryan's speech was the
signal for vociferous applause, cries of
vote, vote" and cheering. Immedi-
ately after the committee, rose and the
House took recess until 8 o'clock to-
night.
There was much larger attendance
in the galleries of the House at the
night session, and score of members
were on the floor.
Mr.. Coombs, of New York, who is
one of the Democratic opponents of the
income tax bill, arraigned that amend
ment.
Hendrix, Democrat, of Now York,
opposed the income tax. The others
who spoke for the bill were Holman,
Democrat, of Indiana, Tucker, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, De Almond, Demo-
crat, of Missouri, Davis, Populist, of
Kansas, and Wheeler, Democrat, of
Alabama. Those who spoke against it
were Lucas, Republican, of South Da-
kota, McCreary, Republican, of Mime
sofa, and Haines, Democrat, of New

INCOME TAX IN GREAT BRITAIN.
How it Has Worked in That Country
for q Century.

An income tax was established in
Great Britain in 1898. The first tax
fell upon incomes III proportion to
their amounts. but this was changed
by the second act, passed in 1899, and
thereafter the tax fell upon the entire
income, ego being exempt and reduced
rates being charged on incomes rang
ing from EGO to G200.
The tax was repealed in 1916, but
was revived in 1912 by Sir Robert Peel
to meet deficiency and to enable the
government to make some needed re-
forms. The situation in Great Brit
ain then was not unlike that which
Low contronts this country, but Sir
Robert Peel's proposal to provide the
gova nment with funds by an income
tax Wa not met by the intimation
that it's re, -crs were communists, as
the like proposition is received here
by perso is who care more for escaping
taxation than for the Justice or fair
ness of the tax, and who are opposed to
all "class legislation except such as
discriminates against the poor.
For more than fifty years this tax,
has been levied without serious op-
position from the people. In 1874 as
has been stated, Mr.. Gladstone thought
that the government could get on
"lGHoib IL; Dub bile commons ala not
urge its repeal and the matter was
changed and Sir Stafford Northcote
reduced the rate to two-pence in the
pound. One great virtue of the tax is
that the rate may be varied with the
needs of the government without dis
turbing business. Since 1876 it was
advanced to seven-pence. which is the
rate for this year. In 1881 and in 1885
1T was down to one penny.
In 1876 the exemptions were increas-
ed. This was also the work of Sir
Stafford NOrthcOte, who, being a con-
scrvative tnancier, may be assumed
to have faithfully represented the
large property interests whose burdens
were increased by dimishing the
burdens upon small incomes Under
existing law, incomes to eI50 are
exempt, and an allowance OF el2O is
made on incomes between G15O and
E4O0. The incidence of the tax is at
the source of the incomc-that is, the
tax on the income derived from shares,
for example, is paid by the corpora
tiOn and deducted from the share
holders dividends.
The experience of Great Britain
with the income tax has been such as
to recommend q return to it by this
country. There is little complaint
there of the inquisitorial character of
the tax. And it is the belief of the
tax authorities that few people try to
escape its burdens.
The yield of the tax in 1893 was el3-

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February g.
The unparalleled ovation given to
Chairman Wilson yesterday is still
the consuming subject at the capital.
The fact that he was borne to the
cloak room on the shoulders of his ad-
miring colleagues and the unqualified
enthusiasm displayed was as much
u compliment to his personal character
and attainmcnts as the cloquence of
his language.
The triumphant majority with
which the tariff bill was passed and
the fervor displayed by the almost
united Democracy in passing it, will
do much, it is believed, to help the
bill in the Senate. That body is the
last place of assault for the cohorts of
protection. They have taken fresh
courage since Senator Gorman's speech
of few days back, stating that the
Senate would reform the bill that came
from the House.
The remarkable exhibition of yester-
day, however, by the representatives
who come fresh from the people must
undoubtedly have its effect.
1t will probably be two weeks before
the bill gets it's proper place on the
Senatorial calendar, and discussion is
commenced.
