SOURCES OF FEDERAL REVENUE.

We must raise revenue. Every year nearly
$780, 000 are paid in pensions alone. and
where are we to get the money? This is the
question that the G b fails to answer,
and we contend that if the Dingley tariff act
accompliShes what its trainers contended that
it would, If it furnishes sufficient revenue to
meet the requirements Of the treasury, then
it will be a success.-Howard Lake Herald
The Clio b failed to answer the
question only because it was not asked.
Likewise the Herald does not answer
repeat them. Will not the Herald
agree that a system of taxation has no
place in a free country that interferes
with the natural distribution of wealth;
that taxes unequally by making con-
sumption the measure of the tax, and
that eXempts accumulated property
from support of the government? 1t
is not an answer to say that a tax on
tea and coffee would be tax on con-
sumption, for the question contem-
plates removal of all taxation on con-
sumption. Nor is it an answer to re-
gret the decision that invalidated the
income tax, for the only justification
for that kind of tax is that it is only
better than one on consumption.
1t is true that we must have revenue,
but it is an entirely unwarranted as
sumption that we must derive it from
taxation on imports, even when laid
| for revenue purposes strictly, and es-
pecially when, as under Republican
policies, protection is the main purpose
and revenue the shadow While any
tax on consumption is vicious in prin-
ciple, still, if it must be resorted to, it
| could be laid on articles which would
make payment of the tax purely vol
untary. When this same question was
asked of Michael D. Harter during the
debates on the Wilson bill, he present
ed table showing how the entire rev.
! enue of the government might be OBJ
tanned from taxes on liquors and to-
! bacco, taxes that no man need pay I'M
! less he wishes to.

Scale Scoop.

The combination scale scoop, which weighs
two pounds by ounces, is the invention OF
merchant who foud 1t anoying to have to
run back and forth with materials from his
boxes, barrels and bins to the scales trying
to get the exact amount of certain goods for
a customer. This necessitated many extra
steps for he never able to strike it just
right at the first guess. And so he devised
SCOOP with the scale for a handle, and by
simply touching a. spring at the scoop end
fxed nosition. the scoop swings upward and
releases the weighing apparatus also. which
last is attached Ito the scoop at the sides by
a ball shaped handle Where time i is money q
nraciated II is the saver of many steps In
the kitchen as well. for many people cook by
weights instead of measures. Then, too many
housewives try and keep check on the grocer,
and this is an easy and simple test for all
small amounts.

UP HOTEL AND OFFICE BUILD
ING PEOPLE.
ARE BANDED FOR DEFENSE.
LAST NIGHT TO DEMAND A
FAIR SHOW
COUNSEL WILL BE ENGAGED
Own Plumbing Contested in
the Courts.

The hotel proprietors and owners and
managers of large buildings in ST. Paul
have picked up the gauntlet thrown
down by the plumbers, and are deter
mined to resist any effort on the part
of the latter to bulldoze them or in any
way tell them what they may and what
they may not do with their own prop
erty.
After complaint had been lodged by
the plumbers against Engineer Ger
main, of the Ryan hotel, for his hav-
ing made certain repairs in the hotel
plumbing, a meeting of the hotel men
was called last night to protest against
such interference and to lay plans for
the protection of their engineers and
other skilled employees. The Ryan,
Merchants Windsor and Metropolitan
hotels, the Albion and other large
apartment houses, and a number Of
large building were represented and the
sentiment was in favor of fighting the
high handed action of the plumbers.
The hotel men say that their men sim
ply repair water pipes, steam pipes,
cocks, ETC., and in no wise interfere
With lDe SANITARY arrangements Ill
their hostelries. To pay plumbers for
this sort of work when their own men
can do it, they stoutly refuse. They
allege such course would bankrupt
them at the present plumbers rates.
After talking the matter all over they
decided to call a meeting when any
of their employees should get into
trouble of this sort, join hands in his
defense and push the matter to legit-
innate conclusions
An attorney will be engaged and in
the meantime they mean to keep UP
the practice of making repairs as they
choose with their own men. The point
made by the plumbers is that the en-
gineers hold no license from their
union, while the hotel people assert
that although capable of passing the
required examination, certificates or
membership have practically been re-
fused engineers by the plumbers
board.

of that party. 1t signalized this in the
bitter hostility of it's members to Presi-

shameful insults offered him at the ST.

the last two years lis due to the change

A few weeks ago the editor was taken with
severe coldp that 9caused him to be In
most miserable condtion.-Sundry Country
Exchanges
Some time ago we had 'that gentleman
who annoyed the congregation with his
cough reported in the local columns of
papers in all parts of the state. The publicity
given him and the counsel uniformly ten
dered him either shamed him into silence or
cured his cough. Now We have an epidemic
of severe colds among the editors of the
state, reducing them each and all to a
miserable condition" Sometimes they an
nounce it in their editorial and at others In
their local columns, but always with the
same positiveness of assertion and in pre-
eisely the same language, indicating that ex-
actly the same cold caught each one. Inc
case seems to be one that calls for the in
tervention of the state board of health, espe-
cially Of its veterinary head.

it may be, by that hunger for knowl-
edge with which some children are
happily endowed, the boy worked to
get the means for clothing himself suit
ably for school and, when the fall
came, with the opening of the schools,
presented himself for admission. To
the shame of that great city where
the wealth of the nation is focused,
there was no room for Romeo and for
thousands of his kind, and admission
was refused him. He pleaded in vain. He
sought the aid of every one who was
get entrance into school. Failing in
this, he hung about the doors begging
the boys to let him take the place OF
some one of them, much to their Won
derment that any boy should be so
eager to go to what the most of them
regarded as distasteful drudgery. At
ter school he would try with offers of
candy, to have some of the boys stop

the day, teaching him what they had
been taught. Once in while he sue
ceeded in borrowing of some more for
tunate youth his text books, and then
he poured over them at night, helped

Finally disappointed disheartened,
his little brain starving for the food it
craved and which a great, rich city de-
MED him, aggravated by the refusal of
some children to let him take their
books, made desperate, it may be, by
the sense of the injustice that gave
them what he so ardently craved and
denied it to him, he attacked the chill
dren to take from them their books by
| force, and, defeated, chlded, despair
ing, his mind gave way, and the patrol
wagon carried him off, raving, to the
hospital for the insane. There is a
pathos in the first case where the
bodies were starved, but there is a
deeper pathos in the case of the starv-
| ed intellect; for in the former there was
no public duty to relieve, no preten-
tious system to supply bodily wants.

supplemented by annual taxation, no
civic pride that pointed to the army of
teachers, the number of schools, the
immense expenditures of the school
system, to make CHASTITY by contrast

The question of naturalization was dis
cussed and Chairman Bell SAID that he had
ordered printed 5000 slips, each being an
order on District Court Clerk Rogers for the
final citizenship papers of the bearer of the
request These will be distributed wherever
is found a man entitled to secure his second
papers who has not done so up to this time.
Ten thousand notices were also ordered
printed and they will be mailed to such
people as an inspection of the poll lists shows
had not secured their second papers at the
time of the last fall election, but entitled
to do so now. This notice urges the neces-
sity of haste and calls attention to the fact
that under the law the second papers must
be secured at least ninety days before the
holder is entitled to vote. In other words,
a man must secure his second papers on or
before Feb. l in order to be entitled to a
at election.
Ten men volunteered their services to make
complete copy of the poll list, and they
will begin work on that in the council cham
Der today.
