ESCAPE OF MILLIONAIREs,

In the decision of the supreme court
on the income tax law. the court has
allowed the law to stand and at the
same time knocked out two its most
important provisions These two
items, which the court holds uncOn-
stitutional are: %, Taxation OF in
comes from land rentals; CD, taxation
of incomes derived from municipal
and government bonds.
The government or rather the pres
ent administration. is in sore straightS
The government budget has been
made out with regard to the 10000
0o0 or S40,000,000 expected to be de-
rived from this source. That it, the
government is that much in the hole
and an extra session of congress ap-
pears unavoidable.
The great bulk of capital is in land
and bonds and when the rentals and
incomes from bonds are exempted the
burden of the income tax law will fall,
not on the capitalists. but upon the
businessmen of the country who have
times
There is no doubt that the oringin-
nj purpose of the income tax bin was
To make the milliOEaireS come to the
mark and bear part Of the burdens of
taxation. With the two supreme
court exemptions they escape. The
Astor estate is almost wholly in lands
and the amount of income tax which
the richest family in America will be
compelled TO pay will be trivial. The
total combined debt of the states and
territories is S1.135.210.442. The in
tereSt on this is stu. oo0. 600 and it will

ADVICE TO BILL COOK.

Burton in his Anatomy of Melan-
choly'' i'll speaking of the false woe
over Imprisonment tells of a certain
man of the city of Milan who had not
been outside the city walls in fifty
years. The prince, hearing of him,
sent him an order forbidding him on
penalty of death from leaving the city.
Whereupon the man was seized with
a violent longing to get outside. and
died Of grief because he could not.
Bill Cook, the sentenced bandit.
should take this to mind. In his fare
well letter to the public Bill crashes
his teeth and assaults his hair over
the reflection that he will be penned up
for thirty-five years. In this letter.
which was published in the Eagle.
Bill reveals Il highly philosophic mind
He declares that with a childhood 9th
er than that of the wild, unkempt and
unfed half-breed, his life had been
thrown in SUMMER paths and greener
pastures.
Bill should certainly turn his philoso-
ply against his prison walls and level
them. imprisonment barring the hui
man perversion of pining for prhibi-
tions, is not a bad thing. Bill will
have his food brought To him. He will
be given 4 comfortable place in n
work shop. There he can sit day by
day without suffering Interruptions.
Outside, men will go gaily about
holding up trains and being pursued
by posses of deputy marshals and
pumped full of large irregular slugs
of cold lead. Outside, men who have
toiled life time to build up establish
mentS, Will Succumb to dishonest en-
ployeS or cramped conditions of COM
merce. And on the outside, too. the
poor creatures who are doomed TO
freedom, will struggle and straggle
along, beaten by the adverse winds
of stormy passage, subject to the
fears for tomorrow and the regrets of
yesterday, cringing before the petty
annoyanceS of vast interests. if high
in station, and Sroaning under load
of poverty if low.
Bill Cook should be content. He
will escape all this. No trouble will
beset him, except the desire TO get out
and that does not weigh against the
awful turmoil that would engulf him
should he manage 10 get his desire
This is the philosophic view for Bill
to take-particularly as he is dead
sure to go to prison, and the philoso-
phic spirit is not changed with apparel
climate or condition.

DUPED AGAIN.

The arrest of one Oscar Wilde upon

ABOUT THE ST. JOHNS.

AWashington dispatch says: Sex
! Governor st. John was a native OF
OIrey. ILL.,, and early in life married a
young woman of that village. After
a brief matrimonial experience st.
John left her and moved away from
Olney. After his departure his wife
had "a son. The husband declined to
acknowledge the son as his own until
| Twelve years after when he saw the lad
and found that he had so many physi-
cal mraks of himself that he forth
with acknowledged him and took him
away from his mother and proceeded
to educate him. The boy was Harry
st. John who murdered his wife in
oklahoma.
John Peter st. John came to Kansas
from Missouri with his present wife.
Being elected TO the state senate from
Johnson county, he made prohibition
hobby which hobby in turn made him
governor. Harry, his son, lived sev-
eral years in Wichita, during which
time his domestic life was anything
tite little body but what seems AN
molous was, while of an artistic TEN
perment, as infieXible as Il rod of car
bombed steel, her eyes We're of the
color known as turquoice blue, and
whether her husband goaded her be-
yond endurance the isSue of the enSu
ing battle was never uncertain. She
was as self-contained and cool as his
last wife seems 10 have been, impul
siye and emotional. His first wife
having secured a divorce took her
children and returned to Olcny, Ill,
to the home of her parents. On the
occasion of his second marriage, or
shortly thereafter, the Eagle indulg-
ed in some reminiscentiaI observa-
tons of St John who started 10 insti-
tue lbel suit against lis but for some
reason concluded TO drop it. He then
lived in western Kansas. On the OPP
ening Of the territory he settled at
kingfiShcr for practice in the United
States land office, where he lived
some two years. His removal to Okla
homa City was followed by good luck
and prosperity. He had acquired a
good home, was doing well and was
member of the legislature of the past
winter
Harry st. John is a good hearted
fellow and bright. There is less of
the demagogue and adventurer in him
than in his father and more of the
lawyer. Harry was always induStri-
GUS and when normal applied himself
closely to business. His failing was
his APPETITE for strong drink, TO which
can be traced all his mishaps and
shortcomings. Whether it was his
drink that made his first wife so hard
and cold, or whether it was that cold
ness that drove him to drink is not
known by the writer; or what, if any
thing, drink had to do with bringing
about he tragedy of last week In
the blackneSS of the lamentably hor-
rible cloud which now shadows his
life the SympathieS of many who knew
him best will find him. Harry st.
John was not one who carried murder
some overwhelming impulse of dis
traction and madness, greater than
in the exegency Of that awful
when he SO suddenly blotted
out the life of the woman whom he sup
posed to be the mother of his children.
