DECLINE OF "BOssIsM.''

Although political 'bossism' still
holds prominent place in American
politics, there occasionally crops up an
incident showing the growing aversion
of the intelligent voter to the manipu-
lations of machine politicians. A re-
cent evidence of the gradual change in
public sentiment is given in the action
of Governor Morton of New York in
The law brings the liquor business un-
der the supervision of State depart
ment, instead of leaving the admins
tration of the law to the different mu-
inequalities. 1t devolved upon Governor
Morton to decide whether the ap-
pointees under the new law were sub
ject to the civil service regulations of
the State. Mr.. Morton decided that they
were not, thereby catering to Moss Plat
and practically killing the feature of
the measure which was passed with the
idea of diminishing the strength of the
liquor power in politics.
Governor Morton has made friends
with the politicians, but he has put
damper on any aspirations he may have
had for the presidential nomination.
Condemnation of his course has come
from every hand. Even the politicians
can see that they have led the Governor
to his political doom. They realize full
well that the people of the United
States will not vote for man who has
shown himself to be given over body
and soul to the ward heller an vote
buyer. 1t will be a good many years
before the boss" is eliminated from
American politics, but the Independent
voters are steadily on the increase, and
the man who hopes for the support of
thoughtful, intelligent voters has come
to know that he must make some pre-
tention of being able to act upon prin-
ciple and not upon the dictates Of a well
ring of schemers.

Members of the House Of Representa-
tives are apparently inclined to be a
bit touchy. They complain Of severe
criticism by the newspapers. We would
suggest to the members Of the lower
house that virtue is its own reward.

of important work being held over I'M

rest on other shoulders than the Rep

propriation bill has been in the House
long enough TO have some work done
on il. If this measure is rushed
through at the last minute, the Repre-
sentatives-unIess they are infallible-
will find that there are numerous items
which should be given more investiga-
ton than the limited time will allow,
provided the members intend to be
fully conversant with what they are
voting on. The Representatives have
some pet measures which they hope to
get through the Senate, but we sin
cereIy hope they will not pursue
policy that will tend to block legislation
and wind up the session with dead
lock

AN AUSTRALIANS STATESMAN.

The career of Sir Henry Parkes af-
fords a view of some of the greatest
contrasts that have ever occurred in the
life of man. He seemed born in such a
position and with such lack of advant-
ages that there was little hope for him
to attain the height he did; and having
attained it, who would have thought
that his last years would be passed in
constant battle with the hard-hearted
creditor, even to the extent of being
threatened with being cut off from the
very necessaries of life.
The late Sir Henry Parkes was born
in England in 1915. His parents were
so poor that he had to go to work when
he was eight years of age, and in con-
sequence he never had any education
His knowledge was picked up labor
iously as he went through life, and it is
remarkable how, in spite of his busy
career, he stored his mind with infor-
nation. He went to Australia in 1899
was employed first as a gardener, next
in hardware store, and finally set up
in business for himself as an ivory
turner and dealer in toys.
His first enty into public life was in
1S48, when he was one of the secre-
taries for returning Robert Lowe for
the city of Sidney. He took an active
part in the agitation to stop the trans
BOrtation of criminals to the COLONY
7'hich led very nearly to armed resist
70 the mother country. During
when a constitution was be-
for the colony of New South

INCOME TAN.

The income tax bill, which was tc
have been up for discussion in the
House Friday, was held over to Mon
day. AS has been earnestly urged III
these columns. it is a measure in which
every taxpayer in the country is directly
interested. From information from the
House, it is very evident that the ma
iority of the members are in favor OF the
bill and that it will go through sately
there. There will be amendments un-
doubtedly, but the main principle VIII
on through. In the Senate, on the other
hand. the bill is not looked upon with
the same favor, and it is very probable
that the country will see distinct issue
batween the two bodies. The sympa-
tbies of the people are entirely with the
House and it does seem absurd that
the uonderous big-wigs OF the Senate
sbould stand in the way of needed pro-
gress.
The massage of the income tax Dill
will at the next Legislature enable the
Minister of Finance to relieve the poor
man of some. if not of all, his direct
taxes We could do away with the poll
tax. which is a relic of the dark ages,
and we might tighten the road tax. On
a rough calculation the income OF this
country. excluding Iaborers of all kinds
and those having an income of six hum
dred dollars. is about $4,000, 900.
three per cent income tax upon this
would yield $50. 600 but graduated in
come tax going up to five per cent. for
residents and ten per cent. for absentees
would bring in at least couple of hun
bred thousand more, while with the
English system followed of taxing in
comes from property abroad still
greater increase might be made.
Last year the income from taxation
was 1892. 691. 80. 1t is very plain that
the income tax will yield far more than
this if it is properly assessed and col
Iected. and that there will be 10 diff
ficuIty when once the burden of taxation
is placed on the shoulders fitted 10 bear
it. in relieving the unjust or undue
strain now put upon the laboring man.
The income tax is the poor mans tax.

The democratic leaders of the state
are taking steps to set aside the late
apportionment law claiming that 1T
is unconstitutional We have all
along doubted the policy OF the calling
of an extra session for the special
purpose of passing apportionment
bill, but have not felt that it was a
matter for which the governor was
much to blame. As to the new law
we are inclined to believe it is an i'm
proyement upon any of its predeces-
sors. If it is unconstitutional the
courts will set it aside, and it may be
a wholesome lesson to the politicians
who endeavor to gain unfair advan-
tages by dishonest division of the
state into legislative districts. One
of the points made against the act is
that the governor had no power under
the constitution to call a special
session at this time for this purpose.
