THE rich people of America, whose |
fortunes are largely invested in such a
manner as to escape with a nearly in
visible minimum of taxation, fought
the income tax from the outset with a
naked franknesS of Se1fishnesS which
none of our impoverished lords of the
manor would have ventured to display
in resisting Sir William Harcourt's
budget of last year. The astonishing
decision of the Supreme court, that to
exact percentage on rents is direct
taxation, but to exact percentage on
salaries is indirect taxation, and hence
permissible, gives an appropriate point
to the entire controversy. There is no
monarchlal country in Europe, not ex-
cepting Russia or Turkey, where wealth
enjoys the immunity from responsible
ity to the state and the general public
that is given to it by the foremost of
republics. Saturday Review.

A retired railroad engineer says orten
hear people enlarge upon the difficulties
of driving locomotive IN the dark or dur

inc ever gave me more anxiety than con
tinuous sunshine Color blindness is fire.
ouently nothing more than intense pain IN
the eyes caused by watching objects which
reflect the light and upon which the sun
is shining. In run of several hours the
glare from the rails which strikes the
eyes while watching for track obstruo-
tions, and more particularly for rails
which have been forced out OF line by the
heat, is very trying, and often "hen
have left the locomotive after such a run
