AID. MADDEN'S RESOLUTIONS.

While we do not wish to be captiOus
or In any way unfair In any criticism
we may5indulge In relation to Commits
siOner OF Public Works Kent, we must
certainly say that the gentle rap ON the
knuckles administered by the City
Council last Monday night was not
wholly undeserved.
The chastisemcnt came through Aid.
Madden, who caused the passage of an
order calling upon the Commissioner Of
Public Works to perform one Of the
chief functions Of his Office, namely
clean the streets. This IL II very shrewd
way of putting rapier under the fifth
rib. To pass an order through the
Council calling upon an official OF the
city to do his duty Is tantamount TO n
declaration that he has been doing
something else. There Is no doubt that
much time has been dawdled away In
a fruitless investigation OF the city pay
rolls. which. while II showed there had

Times. and his judgment and advice
went u long ways with the managers
Of the paper. Mr.. Russell advised the
agitation Of the annexation Of the
towns Of Lake, Lake View. Hyde Park

only after a strong effort ON his part
that the paper took the matter M.
Its advocacy Of the annexation of the
suburbs named was coldly received ut

papers. hut Mr.. Russell gave the mat.
ter such direction that the agitation
speedily bore fruit. Annexation clubs
were formed. the people were interest.

the STALE zee DELEGATION.

Tho statement IN made through the
public press that a body Of citizens Wis.
tied the City Council the other evening
armed with stale eggs. vegetables, etc..
ready to hurl them Mt the heads If the
city fathers should they dare attempt
to pass that now notorious piece Of
doodle legislation. the Calumet and
Blue Island Railroad ordinance. The
citizens, Of course. would have been
severely punished. ana properly NO. had
they INDUCED In any such incxc,isable
net Of folly. but after all there II much
excuse for the anger Of these taxpayers
In this matter.
Without the slightest regard for the
interests or the rights Of the property
holders, the Council gang" undertakes
to turn their property over to u grasp.
ing corporation aud tn give tn the lat
ter rights and privileges which should
be held forever inviolate for public
uses.
The ordinance proposes to run through
these mems real estate railroad line
for the benefit Of the Illinois Steel Com.
pany, and to give to the railroad. which
means the steel company, the same
cInch on the Lake Front Of South Chi.
cagO that the Illinois Central has upon
our own front yard.
We repeat that It IL no wonder the
taxpayers Of South Chicago are much
worked up over this business, but we
would advise them to temper their In.
dignatiOn with discretion.
They, like the voters OF other parts
Of Chicago, are responsible for the
conditions they now inveigh against.
They have taken part In the work Of
electing the gang that now dominates
the Council. Their own representa-
tives, Shepherd and Howell, stand In
with the deal. but are afraid to do no
openly. They therefore remained away
from the meeting on Monday night. lf
the taxpayers Of South Chicago want
reform they ought to initiate It by elect
Ing decent representatives, and not by
the use OF rotten eggs In the Council
chamber.
They can also rest assured that there
Il now In the Mayors chair u man who
IL up to the game of the gang ana can
copper" 1t every time. Mr.. Swift has
been a leader In the Council and has
headed many a winning fight against
the Doodle rings Of other days. AZ
Mayor he can fight the present one
from stronger point Of vantage than
ever. Mr.. swift may not indulge In
any verbal pyrOtechnics In Ills veto mes
sages. but the veto, 1t may he assured,
will he forthcoming ut the proper time
ana will come from the shoulder.

On sober second thought 1t would
seem that there Is nothing so ridiculous
In the proposition after all. II II long
time since the Democratic party has
been so Inundated us It Il In its pres
ent representation In the Common
Council Of the city Of Chicago. Even
In crOokedncss the Republicans are too
strong for them there. They have
enough sandbaggers among them to get

IS THERE AN INTERNAL REVENUE
LhW2

The Infamous income tax, which gave
to q lot Of political bummers the right
to examine the private books Of every
man In business, has been declared I'm.
constitutional by the Supreme Court
of the United states.
Many lawyers think tint the decision
of that court on the incOme tax has
also killed the internal revenue laws.
In a carefully prepared opinion an emf
ucnt lawyer says:
''.Iilsticc Fuller. in his opinion. says
the Constitution divides Federal taxa
ton into two classes first. direct taxes;
SECOND, imports and excises,' and that
direct taxes must be appOrtloned
among the several States In proportion
TO their representation In the House Of
Representatives. Apparently the log.
icnl result Of iris opinion Ii that all
Federal taxes. except duties of impOst
ttllat II to shy taxes collected under the
tarlnf laws), must be appOrtionctln among
the States according to their represent
tatlOn In the House Of Representatives.
"rhe Wilson bin provides That there
shall be levied and collected on all dis.
titled spirits. ETC., a tax Of $1.1O on each
proof gallon The statutes Of the Uni.
ted states levy tax Of q cents ~ pound
ON tobacco, etc. Ii seems clear that. nc.
cOrtilng to this opinion Of Chief Jus.
tice Fuller. these are direct taxes on
personal property. and not being pro-
pOrtiOned among the several States ac-
cOrtling to representation they are UNI
constitutional and void. II this view he
correct the Supreme Court has not only
wiped out the Income tax, but has prac-
tically repealed the acknowledgements

dy, etc"
