AN OLD STORY RETOLD' WITHOUT
THE MORAL.

Hiram j. Jones, who mas been III
stalled head Of the special assessment
department by Mayor Swift. and who
held the Office Of City Comptroller un-
der Mayor Hopkins. has suddenly dis.
covered that the income Of the city of
Chicago Is entirely Inadequate to meet
the demands Of the city government
and lays the blame ut the door of the
Inadequate system Of valuation ana as
sessncnt.
Of course II IL quite the thing and
always In order To make discoveries
reports and sensational recomnlenda-
.tions for remedying suddenly discov.
erred evils after n public office has
changed hands. THIS IL an old custom
that has been faithfully observed by
professional office holders under all ad.
ministratiOns and at all times. Some
times the discoveries are really scnsa-
t!onal and the remedies suggested need
Ell. but more often they are mere bun.
combc gotten up for effect. 1t does not
look as II Mr.. Jones' report and the
discoveries and suggestions made can
he properly classed anywhere except
In the latter.
Speaking of Mr.. Jones' report editO-
rally. the Tribune says:
The report OF Mr.. Jones, the Hopkins
Comptroller. for the year 1894. has just
been made public. In view Of the de-
feat Of Jones' party and policy at
the last election. he would have acted
moro wisely had he cut out some OF his
Views and recommendations.
He says 1.-THE Income OF Chicago Is
entirely inadequate to meet the re-
aulremcnts Of the corporation. Imme-
diate steps should be taken to increase
the revenues" Put in plain English.
this means that the city does not col
lect enough money to satisfy the de.
anands Of the tax eaters and therefore
heavier taxes should be clappcd on the
taxpayers.
1t IL not astonishing that Jones should
discourse In this vein, Tor lie himself
Is a member OF the ancient AMI honOra-
sdc fraternity OF tax eaters. For TWEEN
ty-Gve years he has lived, not of the
fruits OF his labor, but of the taxes Of
the community. II Is plain TO him that
Ii Il the duty of the community 10 sup
port him and his associates, who toll
not neither do they spin. Eating taxes
only. and not paying them, he has no
idea how hard and disagreeable a job
the latter Is, especially In times like
these.
The reign Of the tax eater Is over for
,hc time being, aud therefore the rec
concentrations Of the cx-Comptroller
are ont of place. The policy now Is TO
set men Of his stamp at work and make
producers out Of these everlasting con-
-sumers The intention IL now to have
.the city practice economy like its citi-
-xens and ask for less rather than more
money at This time, when everybody Is
earning less. Jones ought to call back
his report ana run blue pencil through
those passages which assume that the
TAX eater has divine right to be sup
ported by the industry Of the commu-
uity--that he has a first lien on the pro-
ducts Of labor.
On the contrary, the late administra-
ton spent as much as ever and clam
0red for more through Jones and other
ssouthpieccs. The voters did not take

Washington, May THE fact
leaked out at the navy department
today. after having been successfully
hidden from the public for a week,
that the United States steamer Ran
ger had been ordered from Buena
Ventura. Colombia, on May to Es-
meralda, a. port in northern Ecuador,
where she probably has been for the
last four days. the voyage being only
about $50 miles in length. This or
der was issued at the request of the
state department, where it was stated
the request had been made because
the department had been convinced by
representations made by Americans
having interests in Ecuador, that it
would be wise to do so. No further
statement as to the nature of the
trouble in Ecuador could be gathered
at the state department, but from
other sources it is learned that
revolution is believed to be impend-
ing in that country as the outcome
of the bitter popular dissatisfaction
engendered by the use of the Ecua-
dorean flag to cover the transfer to
Japan of the CHILEAN cruiser Esmer-
aida last winter. Some American cor
porations have large interests in sill
yer mines and other properties in
Ecuador and lit was upon their repre-
sensations that the state department
acted, although it has no assurance
that a revolution has actually broken

1t has been generally reported that
Supreme President Traynor would take
an emphatic stand in the council for the
formation of a new political party. Mr..
Montague, who edits Mr.. Traynors
paper, says Mr.. Traynor'S position is that
political wisdom lies in the members af-
filiating with the party which will cham
pion the best of its principles and If
neither of the old parties will do that and
a new party is organized outside of the
order which will embrace those principles
in its platform he would counsel action
with such party and that it is time for
the order to take decisive action along its
line

very brief peroration, and Attorney
General Olney addressed the court.
The encouragement said:
Il fully appreciate the hberality of
the court both in according this re-
hearing and in the matter of the time
allowed for argument. I realize at the
same time, that it cannot be fairly
taken advantage oS merely to reiterate
considerations already fully presented
and hat it should be availed of only
on new matters now proven to be i'm
portanr, but which, so far as the gov.
eminent IS concerned, has thus far
been practically untouched. The pres
ent posture of the case conceive to be
this: The contention of the govern
ment at the former hearing was that
the validity of general income tax law
could not now be drawn in question
being oonclusively settled by repeated
adjudications of this court as we'll as
by the uniform and long continued
practice of the other departments of
the government. That contention has
been sustained, though by an equally
divided court, with two exceptions
One related to the income of state and
municipal securities and presents

reheard at this time. The other re-
Of which the position of the court IS
that they are not embraced within the
high scope of previous decisions.
This conclusion is one of which !
am unable to feel the force, or appreci-
ate rhe justice, and as the question is
of immense Importance to the govern
ment, politically and pecuniarily, I
shall consume a few moments in re-
specially urging its reconsideration.
The Precise Question.
at is important to bear in mind the
precise question. 1t is not whether
there may not be a tax on rents which
must not be deemed to be tax On the
land producing them. 1t is not whether
a land tax measured by rents or rental
and most scientific method of taxing
land. The question is, does this in
come tax law create a tax which is
necessarily to be deemed a tax on real
estate?
