More Taxes.

The Republican casuists are be-
ginning to insist that the true cure
for the financial straits in the Treas
ury is heavier taxation and a large
surplus. With inordinate revenue,
inordinate expenditure follows as
sure as day follows night. While
It is that an overHowing of the
Treasury would measurably re-
lieve anxiety as to the ability of
the Government to meet any emer-
gent demand for the redemption of
jts outstanding legal tender de-
mand notes, the suggestion isin it's
essence a proposal to postpone the
extinguishment of one evil by the
creation of another, and thus to
perpetuate both.
No justification is possible for at
any time taking more money from
the pockets of the people than is
necessary for the purposes of eco
nomical administration. There is
good reason to believe, however,
that 1t would be necessary to pro-
vide against the emergency OF a
failure of the income tax II the law
In its present form should be de-
declared unconstitutional when
brought to the test Of judicial ex-
animation. Laying tax to meet
= probable or possible deficit is
quite another thing from laying a
tax TO foat obligations that ought
10 be funded. But II may be the
pneaus Of bringing the supporters
and the opponents of the Admins
trstion together II, for contrary rea.
sous, they shall agree to such an
lacrosse Of the revenue as may be
deemed advisable under present
conditions, ~ PAN Dealer,
