NO MORE INCREAsE-KEDUCE EX
PINSEs

fIN~E~
Hon. Michael Harter, of Ohio. has come
forward with a plan to increase the rev.
enues Of the government, so as to make
Up for the deficiencies that Will grow
out of the incoine-tax law being stricken
from the statute-book The tax on all
kinds. or nearly all kinds, of tobacco
should be increased, he thinks, to where
the result would be an increaFe Of rev.
cnue from this source of not less than
$i5000,0oo The tax on beer should be in
creased sSOO0o.ODO; the tax on whisky
should be increased to point that would
add slJ0OO00. and tea and coffee
should be taxed enough TO cost
the consumer about one mill per cup. or
a cent for each ten cups, which tax, he
thinks. would yield about $50 100000 more
in ordinary years.
II is strange that In all treatment OF this
subject the whole idea seems TO be how
a little more can be gOuged cut of the
people. We hear of no one addressing HIM
self to the task of reducing the expenses
OF iHt government we nave NAA army "
q. 900 men to maintain. for which ten mil
lions OF dollars annually would be a most
liberal appropriation: yet the expenses of
our War Department last year were ST.
JG7. s29.S5. It is true this included appro-
priations for rivers and harbors, forts,
arsenals, and sea-coast defences, but If
the cost Of the army proper were reduced
70 a reasonable footing, all other heads
could be scaled accordingly. and the
lump sum would be in proportion 10 what
an army of 5000 really needs. Germany
maintains a standing army Of more than
10000 men. and the entire cost of II, in
GLIDING pensions. is only about s75,ooocOo.
The cost of our naval establishment
last year was $si. 70i. 1913. This included
armament. equipment. and Improvements
at navy-yards. but the same remark made
In regard to the army may be made in
respect TO the navy. Great Britain. with
navy that compares with ours as a
giant compares with baby. pays for II
only ssS,0000N a year. il is needless TO
mention our pension list. Ii is the shame
and disgrace of the nation. We paid out
last year more than Siio.0oooo0 to pension
ers. where twenty-five millions would
have been liberal allowance Englands
pension and invalid fund is s25,CooON;
Germany's is slsooo.ooo and Frances is
only 100000; and Germany and France
have all the disabled men Of their terrific
war to provide for.
The total expenditures OF this govern
ment in 1860 were s77.055.l25. Our total ex-
pendtures for the last fiscal year were
$40, Cos, 1887. What has happened to make
this vast increase in our expenditures?
We have more than doubled our popula-
ton. IL is true, but the same form or
government that will rule over So.0OOVuv
OF people will rule over 70.0ooooo. ana
while there Is TO be some increase Of
cost with increase Of numbers. there Is 10
be no such increase as this.
Our interest charge Is . little under
5000 900. which Is. Of course. to be ADDED.

sI.e Complete Flour.

To the Editor OF The Times.
Sir,-In your paper IF May 9Th appears
a very interesting article by DR.. Lafferty
on a Complete Flouf." which considers
the subject theoretically rather than
praCti' ally.
In "Old-Time" mills using the "Buhr
or stone system" but one grade of -four
was made, about five bushels Of wheat
y as used 90 the barrel and 100 pounds Of
mill-offal was produced. which offal was
formerly considered worthless, but like
the seed from cotton. has become vaiu-
able with the development of )ur dairy
interests. The millers of the 'Oll World"
first invented the roller system Ovid
ing the -four product into several grades
our millers Of the United States found
the Straight -four OF their "Buhr mills
no longer able to hold trade. and grad
ually have changed their mills 10 the
full roller system: comparatively few
mills are to-day operating the "Buhr
SYSTEM" and practically no new mills
of any size are to-day being equipped
with that system.
Dr. Laferty's article would lead a
housekeeper TO think that the whittier and
morc attractive looking may be the
bread on her table. the less real nourish.
nent she is giving her family. Let us
examine this. both scientifically and prac-
tically. where winter-whcat -four is used
The modern roller mill requires about
twenty pounds less wheat 20 the barrel
than Bum mill this saving is made by
more thoroughly cleaning the wheat kerr
mel and taking ont all impurities before
grinding, and further by making a better
separation Of the -four and the mill-offaI

housekeepers for a -four producing a
white and attractive loaf or roll and a
good baking -four, the gluten" not the
starch must be used TO give these re.
suits. Special stress is laid on the re-
moval OF the germ" in the article in
question. The following extract is taken
from letter over the signature Of the
Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture. Chas.
W. Dabney. Jr., Of recent date:
THE roller process of nour-maklng does
not tend 10 diminish the nutr.tive proper
ties or wheat except by the removal
OF the germ. which contains the lar
gest percentage OF oil. This complete re-
moyal Of the germ is an advantage. in
so far as the flour is concerned for baking
purposes. since the presence Of the oil and
IT'S associated matter would tend 10 black

OF the nitrog.nous matter which the
germ contains"

We have admired and trusted individual
members of the Republican party, but for
the party itself. as the exponent OF GER
tain political principles we have had. now
have. and expect TO have, an antipathy
and fear commensurate with the vicious
ness of its principles and the danger
with which il threatens the natural rights
of the American citizen. Ii is essentially
the party of centraliEing tendencies, max
ing government as nearly monarchical as
many for the few. and directly causing
the recent reaction whereby the many
sought TO Cypress the few.
II has squandered the public treasure in
reckless extravaganza and IN bribery I'M

1t has made patriotism contemplate by
paying promptly for the least exhibition
of that sentiment without which citizen
should be disgraced.
All this and much more may be justly
said against the Republican party, but
there has been one point upon which 1t
has plumed itself as entitled to the
confidence OF the people; II relies for its
good name upon the soundness OF its
financial record.
Yet what do we see at this great crisis
in our country's finances? There are
many distinguished Democrats whose
position on the silver question is 90 well
known that there would DO no doubt that
they would resolutely maintain the pres
ent standard OF our currency, and you'd

plain. transformations, economical govern
meat. that leaves the people TO enjoy
what they accumulate by toll
we look on the decision In the income
tax case as one OF the greatest events
for the peace and prosperity of the peo-
nle that ever happened. II will force our
lawmakers to look around to see how
chearly the government can be run, In
stead of for places where they can spend
money. The decision. based on the Con-
stitution. proceeds upon the theory that
q State is TO contribute from direct taxes
to the general sum an amount that bears
the same ratio to the whole sum raised
that the population bears TO the whole
population. II the government is extrav-
acant this would, of course. throw grew
Gus burdens upon the poor States. But
that fact will make the representatives
of a poor State fight with all their might
to reduce taxes to the lowest possible
point, and that kills off the Jobs and
corruption of Washington. which are the
real menace to our institutions.
our Federal Union of States is formed
under our Constitution upon the idea that
each State as community. is TO pre-
serve its own local methods OF managing
internal affairs. Men may become paupers
or millionares under the operation OF
the local laws. but whatever their for-
tune II Is an affair of the locality, and
not Of the nation. Each State is TO con-
tribute by direct taxes 10 the fund neces-
sary to maintaining national authority In
proportion to It's population, and not In
proportion to. It's wealth. and this princi-
taxes are laid i'm the States. IS most bene-
ncent. since IL necessarily results. as we
have shown. In the poor States holding
the national government down to econo-
N.Y. instead Of allowing the wastefulness
! and corruption that attends an overflow
ing treasury.
It was TO prevent the oppression OF the
few by the many that the wise men VINO
framed our Constitution provided that d.
rect taxation shall be in proportion 10
population. instead OF to wealth. They
gave the national government fun power
to raise all the revenue that 1t could
properly stand In need Of BY customs du-
ties and excuses. and then they said:
But if you want still more revenue and
must resort 10 direct taxes on the prop
erty of the people. you must seek 1t from
the States. as States, and not from In
dividuals. as individuals" This put the
corrective upon tAe power of a majority
to Cypress a minority. and insured econ
omy whilst guarding against spoliation.
The income-tax law sought to set this
wholesome principle TO one side. that lazy
and hungry men might fatten on the re-
suits Of the labors of industrious and
prosperous men. but 1t ran squarely up
against the prohibition provided by the
wise foresight of he trainers Of our insti-
tutions and 1t came to grief. Heaven be
praised that 1t did.
