HE WANTS TO KNOW.

Seattle. Wash, May IS 1895.
To the Editor: Presidential Candidate
Sibiey and Gen. Warner, coal miner, tell
us that prices are cheapening with Us on
account OF oppressive gold mono-metal-
ism: that the free coinage of silver Will
cause prices to go up.
Gen. Warner predicts that gold mono
metallic countries will be superseded in
manufacturing by the silver using coun-
tries. Therefore If We continue under the
gold standard. silyer-using Japan will
drive us out of manufacturing. He wiA,
In the event of defeat of free coinage in

Now, viii either Gen. Warner or one of
the platform beauties who appla uded the
sentiment, please explain how Japan,

India and Argentine can raise wheat
cheaper than We can because a half dol
lar in gold Is worth a dollar in those
countries? Does he not really mean that
labor IS cheated with cheap money in
those countries. and that we cannot com
pete with them because labor here IS
paid in money OF full value?
Does not Gen. Warner also mean that
under the beneiicent 60 silver standard
labor costs half as much as ii does under
the oppressive 60 gold standard, and
therefore countries Using the silver can

CORRUPTION IN LEGISLATURES.

The people Of this state grumble al the
legislature and occasionally find fault with
state officials. but never in It's recent his
tory has there been n suggestion OF cor
rupt'on. Occasional instances OF wrong
doing occur. but there IS no suspicion OF
an organized gang OF corruptionists. This
state Of affairs Is very gratifying in view
OF the shocking disclosures made during

states

THE INCOME TAX.

Today or tomorrow the decision of the
supreme court on the income tax will
probably be handed down. and 1t is al
most safe 20 say that It is doomed. II
may be eater perhaps. for a newspaper
to say that Il ought to be doomed. Very
much more could be said in favor of the
principle OF the income tax generally
than for its enforcement i'm its present
mutllated condition. 1t is true. as coun-
sci for the government urged, that a Law.
may be invalid in part and yet valid as
10 some OF its provisions. Expediency
intervenes in some cases 10 prevent fla
grant injustice arising from the annul-
ment OF an entire law. although strict
Interpretation requires that erroneous
legislation shall not be sustained. But
the supreme court Of the United States
Is a grand tribunal. IMPLYING the most
exalted judicial wisdom and the most pro-
found legal learning, and It's decisions
should be formulated upon the broadest
lines OF natural justice compatible with
the written purpose of the law.
1t Will not be contendei that congress
ever contemplated the income tax law
except as n complete and indlvisible law.
In Its present emasculated shape, no leg
islature would have dared or attempted
TO pass IL. The aeowed purpose OF con-
gress was to compel the fortunate re-
cipients OF large incomes from property
OF all kinds 10 pay tax from which
smaller owners were exempt. The
amount OF the exemption was a matter
entirely discretionary with the legisla-
tive body. The principle of exemption
has been condemned as unequal, but
nearly every state Legislature has recog-
nized IT. and the state Of Washington.
among others. exempts from taxation
property OF various kinds and to a certain
amount But the supreme court can
hardly sustain a law with exemptions
which were never contemplated and
which would In effect work so fragrant
an injustice as would the income tax
with the chief contributors left out.
The broader principle will no doubt be
adopted thar although parts OF law
may be unconstitutional and other parts
constitutional. the provisions and pur-
poses must be entirely independent. and
that where clear intention Is manifest

DFLAwARE-s DILEMMA.

The construction OF a state law by a
FEDERAL authority VIII have 70 be made
By the United States senate in the case Of
Delaware. The question Is whether a man
can be governor OF the state and state
senator az the same time
II was The duty OF the Delaware legis-
lature 20 elect a successor TO Anthony
Higgins in the United States senate. The
state senate has q Democratic ma jority
and elected Senator Watson as presiding
officer: the lower house had Republic
can majority. In Joint session the men,
bership was thirty. sixteen votes, there

a deadlock. caused by the candidacy Of
Higgins Massey and Addicks. While
the baIloting was yet in progress. Gov.
MarviI died. and there being no lieuten-
ant governor, he was succeeded by Presl-
dent Watson.
Toward the close of the four months.
session Massey and Higgins withdrew and
fifteen OF the Republicans united on
Henry A. Dupont. In a legislature OF
twenty-nlne. this was sufficient to elect,
but in order 20 prevent a Republican be-
ing elected Gov. Watson resumed his seat
In the senate and so kept the required
majority at sixteen The Democratic
majority in the senate sustained Watson
but the Republicans In both houses re-
fused TO recognize him. When ADJOURN
ment was impending the Democratic pres
ident OF the senate declared there was no
election. but the Republican speaker an
nounced that Henry A. Dupont had been
duly elected.
The Republicans claim that when Wat
son became governor his functions as
state senator ceased. Gov. Watson claims
that the constitution OF the state does
not deprive him of his right to vote in the
senate although st imposed upon him
duty he could not avoid and which was
only incidental.
The question Is purely one OF law and
not so very difficult to decide, probably;
but IL should be decided by q judicial
body Unfortunately II must go TO the
United States senate for decision, end
there. as the Populists hold the balance
of power. It Is inevitable that politics ex-
ert some influence. The Republican. Du-
ponr: will contest the seat with a Demo
crat to be, no doubt. appointed by the
governor. and IL trading does not con-
troll the result it will be a rare and sur
prislng thing

STREET CAR FRANCHISE.

The city council has justified assur-
ance that its members, who are all good
business men. do not lose their good sense
when they act in their corporate capacity.
They have agreed upon fair terms with
the street car company seeking to keep
its obligations. and can justify their ac-
ton. The terms offered by the company
were fair. and IT was not necessary to make
them harsher merely for the sake of show
ing liale authority or catching a little
cheap applause. Delegate Little's plan
has. at first glance. considerable merit.
but the objection pointed out by Mr.. Huri
is cogent one. 1t is against unscrupu-
lous management the city must be pro-
tected. and it is better to take a little less
profit and avoid the risk of being euchered
out OF II. Indeed, as Alderman elise sug-
gested. the citys chief interest In street
car franchises is not in making a profit
but IN exercising such control that the
public shall have good accommodations
and that the service shall be improved as
the increasing traffic demands.
Seattle IS very much concerned IN get
ting new capital invested here; and the ex-
cellent impression the action of the council
viii create tends to bring that capital here.
Investors very readily discriminate between
communities where business sense con-
trolls in municipal government and those
wherein demagogism lends encouragement
70 cinching and harassing.
The more just and fair a council Is In
It's dealings in such controversies the
greater security the people have. too. thai
their representatives are honest and faith
ful In al matters.
