why Hin Opposed the Income TIA.


The decision declaring the income tax
unconstitutional gives great satisfaction
to Senator Hin. He spoke and voted
against the income tax feature of the reve-
nue. bill when the matter was before the
Senate and he at all times said that the
policy of taxing incomes was a mistake.
Naturally, therefore. he is very much
elated to find himself sustained by the
supreme court.
In speaking of the decision the day it
was rendered he said the tax, if it had
been sustained. would have been the enter
ing wedge for. the substitution of direct
taxes in the place of tariff taxes; and,
besides. it was. he said. class legislation
and was unjust, and it made an unfair dis
elimination and was therefore unwarrant-
ed. Senator Hill also regarded the tax
as an attack upon state rights, because
a tax of that kind, if levied at all, should
be levied and collected by the states.
There is much truth in what Senator Hill
says about the income tax. During the
war the people submitted to it. because
they regarded it as a war measure and
necessary, but they saw no necessity for
it in times of peace. And they had not
been consulted about it. 1t is not men
toned in the platform of either of the
great political parties. The only platform
that demands it is that of the populists.
The adoption of it by majority of the
democrats in congress was a concession to
the populists, with the hope of winning
back some of the democrats who had
Joined the Populist party.
The decision may not help Senator Hin
politically, though it will tend to increase
the respect for him of democrats who are
conservative and who do a great deal of
thinking before giving their sanction to a
policy that is far reaching and profound
ly affects all interests of the country.
| The question of whether we shall have
an income tax in this country is settled
for long time to come, if not forever.
The states may levy such tax, but it is
hardly probable that any of them will do

There continues to be talk OF a possible
revolution in the governmental system of
China. There was even talk in the dis
patches the other day about a Chinese re-
public in Formosa. A republic, of course
involves politicians and stump speeches.
1T is of interest, therefore, to hear that
the Chinese frequently bury eggs and let
them remain under ground for ten or
twelve years before they use them. 1t
seems that within that time the eggs
ought to acquire pungency adequate to
the necessities of even a Chinese stump
speaking.

The supreme courts decision in the in
come tax case will probably have the eff
feet of sealing tighter than ever the lips
of Messrs. Mckinley, Reed and Harrison
on the money question. The reduction OF
the revenues that will follow the upset
ting of the income tax viii revive the
opportunity for urging the revising of the
tariff by the next congress-, and the re-
publicans will try to make the tariff the
leading issue.

1t is being claimed by some of Senator
Hill's friends that the supreme courts
adverse decision in the income tax matter
is somewhat in the nature of a compli-
ment to him personally, because of his
opposition to the tax in the Senate. There
is indeed, good reason to congratulate
the senator upon his sagacity and courage:
but it should be borne in mind that the
Presidents position also is INDICATED by
the decision of the court. The bill became
law without his signature-a protest
quite emphatic as anything ever said
or done by Senator Hill.

They Have Advertised Our Harbor.

Besides satisfying the desire Of thous-
ands OF people in this section Of the south
10 see a modern war ship. the cruisers
Atlanta and Raleigh have given our har-
Dor splendid advertisement. Even the
navy department wasn't aware Of the
fact that there is a channel 26 feet deep
from the ocean to the city's wharyes. and
so when the Atlanta and the Raleigh were
ordered here they were expected TO re-
main just inside the bar at Tybee. The
commanders of the cruisers. however.
after examining the charts OF the river
with Capt. Carter. the army engineer in
charge Of the harbor improvements. were
satisfied that it would be entirely safe to
bring the vessels TO the city. The navy
department was so informed. and permits
sion was obtained 10 come up the river.
The cruisers have been Just below the city
for more than a week.
When the late Senator Brown introduc-
ed a bill into congress. authorizing i'm
proyements in Savannah harbor that
would provide a channel of the depth of &c
feet Qhe depth of water on the BARI the
would not be possible TO obtain that depth
Of water at least not within the lifetime
of people living then. But how greatly
We're the pessimists mistaken The i'm
prOvcments dragged along at first. but
when the contract system was adopted,
and the amount needed was appropriated
in a lump sum, the work was pushed Wig
orously. The result is that Savannah now
has her % feet channel all the way to the
sea, and the largest ships leave her
wharves with complete cargoes. During
the present season ships drawing % feet
have been taken to sea. and since then the
engineer in charge OF the improvement
has stated that there is a channel &c feet
deep. The Savannah harbor, once tor
tuous stream having a succession Of shall
lows, is now a deep. swift flowing river
that easily accommodates any vessel that
any ship agent desires to charter for this
port.
All these facts have of course been
known to the people of Savannah for
some time. but the coming of the Atlanta
and the Raleigh, deep draft cruisers, has
made them known not only to the navy
department. but to the people Of the en-
tire country. and of other countries. For
more than week the cruisers have rid
den at anchor easily and safely just below
our wharves where they have been visi-
ted by crowds of people. 1t would be graf
flying If the commanding officer would
bring them along the city front when he
gets ready to go to sea, and thus further
demonstrate that there is ample water
from the sea up to the extreme limits of
the city for such vessels.
When it is remembered that It is not
long since the channel was only about 16
feet deep the result Of the work of the gov
eminent upon the channel seems almost
wonderful If Senator Brown were living
he would be greatly surprised. doubtless,
that such satisfactory results have fol-
lowed so quickly the Savannah harbor bill
that he introduced into congress.
