INCOME TAX.

Though the subject was pretty well
thrashed out during the summer
months of 1896, it is well to put on
record any further information on the
subject. An official report from Prus-
STA, according to an exchange, shows
how the tax works there.
The total population is put down at
31,350,000 persons, of whom 21,066,453
have an income of less than 1925 per
family and thus were exempt from in
come tax. This goes to show how
desperately poor over two-thirds of
the Prussian people must be. The law
therefore, falls upon the remaining
1O,2S2 900 of the population OF these,
1859, 515 are Leads of families or un-
married men. These are divided into
four classes. viz: Those with incomes
from 1929 to $3.50; second, those from
$3.50 to ST. 800; third, those from 81, 800
to $2,375, and, fourth, those above
$2,375 OF these divisions the first con
tans S7.52 per cent of all taxable per-
sons; the second, $40 per cent; the
third, 2.1S and the fourth, 2.19.
The exemption from income tax in
this country, placed before the last
Legislature, was eXtravagantly high.
On such a basis hardly two per cent
of the Prussian population would con-
tribute to the tax. Relatively the in
comes here are far larger, among the
working population, than they are in
Prussia, but, on the other hand, the
cost of living is greater and, with the
exception of the Portuguese, the white
population is far less thrifty than the
population of Prussia.
1t is impossible to estimate the in
comes of the people on these Islands
the data are totally insufficient. One
can estimate the incomes of the labor
ers and to some extent of the mechan'
les as a class, but above that it would
be the widest guessing Stats

THE FLIGHT EASTWARD.

With each recurring year large
number of the islanders wing their
way eastward to visit parents, unseen
for many a year, some for the pleas
ures of travel alone, these the richer,
who will pass through the States and
some for business, with the intention
of putting themselves in touch person
ally with the firms so long dealt with
by letter, some to recover health at the
various health resor,s and so on.
April is the favorite month for the
exodus of those intending to make an
extended trip. 1t gives them full
six months away. But from now on,
until the beginning of July, there will
be constant stream eastward,
though a few chiefly on p 'easure bent,
go westward and visit the once poetic
Empire of Japan, now becoming year
ly more and more prosaic. In July
occurs the exodus of the school teach
er, and many home in the States is
gladdened by the sight of one who has
been absent "A year or more in dis
tant and, to a large majority, little
known land.
Then there is a lull, the crest of the
wave has been reached, in August It
pauses, and then begins to sweep down
on the other side. The returning
steamers from the Coast are filled with
the returning wanderers and all are
back before the end of October. The
premonitory signs of winter send our
people scurrying to their balmy island
home as swallows seek the South when
the autumn tints appear.
This yearly pilgrimage is what
keeps our islanders in touch with the
outer world 1t prevents them get
ting into a narrow groove. They hear
and see what is going on in the great
cities of the world and they return
and tell those who have stayed at
home. Now it is one member of a
family that goes, now it is another
now it is one even of a circle OF
friends, now another, but they all
bring us something, and as a little

to express the figures which are given

them. Suffice it to say that every

nearly automatic that skilled labor is

Mr.. T. II. Walker wishes it stated
that The Star is in error as to Mr.
T. II. Davies being utterly opposed to
the movement" viz: the revolution of
1887, and that in a public lecture,
which lecture is not to hand, he stat
ed that the result was "a great gain
to the cause of freedom and good gov
eminent" Mr.. Walker adds, Il have
no idea that Mr.. Davies has changed
this opinion" The present position
of affairs is directly traceable to the
revolution of 1887; it was in trying to
reverse what had been then done that
the eX-queen lost her throne, and the
same men who acted in 1887 acted in
1898. Under these circumstances Mr..
Davies must be regarded as a support
er of the Republic. Can it be that
every one has been in error? The Stal

rection, and gladly gives him space
at this, and will do so at any time.

tics are obtained on the subject legis-
lation in the direction will ever re-
main a leap in the dark"
That an income tax is the fairest
tax is acknowledged by all writers
upon financial matters and political
economy and that the graduated form
produces the most revenue and lays
the burden of taxation upon those
most able to bear it, is also acknowl-
edged, but data upon the point should
be carefully collected so that an intel
financial authorities of the Republic
may have some basis to go upon. That
is where the German love of statistics
shows itself of incalculable advantage.
1t is noticeable that in spite of the
defeat of the income tax provision of
tariff law in the United States a mem
Der of the New York Legislature has
brought forward bill which provides
that 'after January I, 1898, a tax
shall be levied annually upon the gross
profits and income received fhe pre-
vious calendar year by every citizen OF
the State, whether received from prop
erty rents, interesos, dividends, salaries
or any source whatever The tax is
to be a graduated one, running as fol
lows: $1,000 to less than $1,000, one
half per cent: $1,000 and less thar
100000, one per ceno; $4,000 and less
than $4,000, one and half per cent;
$4,000 and less than $4,000, two pei
cent, and one-half per cent on every
additional $4,000 of income.
Whether the bill will pass is prob
lematical, especially in State like
New York, which bristles with mil.
lionaire incomes. If there is one thing
| the millionaire dislikes it is to bear hi:
proper proportion of the burdens OF
the State. In that he is somewhat like
| the French noble of the period befor,
the revolution, who threw all the bur
dens of the State upon the poverty
stricken peasantry. But if it does no
pass it is a straw showing in which
direction the taxation wind is blowing
and by precept upon precept the battle
of fair taxation of all will be won.

THE ACE OE WHEELING.
offence.

Among all our modern improvements there
are few that would have seemed more marvel
lous to the people Of generation or two ago
than the bicycle There are few if any that
are effecting so important q social revolution.
There have been greater inventions, in the ap-
plications Of steam and electricity. But even
they are not as essentially novel in their eff
fects as this. The steamship and railroad and
telegraph and electric light are doing merely
what used to he done by the sailing ship and
stagecoach and mails and oil lamp. They are
doing them far better no doubt: but they are,
after ALL nothing but improvements upon those
older and simpler things. But there was moth
ing that ever undertook TO do what the bicycle
is doing There has been nothing upon which
il is merely an Improvement. More than al
most anything else in this age it is new thing,
doing new work. creating new departments
of human industry and human pleasure, and
bringing into the economy of the social organi-
ZatOn new factor.
II there were any possible doubt that the BIZ
cycle has "come to stay" il would be dispeed
by such gathering as that Of the League Of
American Wheelmen AT Philadelphia this last
week The spectacle Of thousands of men and
omen, from all parts of the continent, meet
ing as representatives of other scores or thou
sands and receiving the applications Of thou
sands more for membership among them, Is
of impressive significance. These people are
not as the early wheelmen may have seemed
and may indeed have regarded themselves,
mere enthusiasts, cult!vating a circulnscribed
fad. They are earnest, practical folk. cOnsid-
erlng wellnigh universal fact. For that IL
what bicycling has become. 1t is no longer the
sport or the luxury Of the few but the pleasure
or the practical aid Of the many. The wheel is
used by the clergyman Oh his parochial mis-
sions, by the physician in attending his pa
tents, by the student in going 10 and from
school, by the business man, clerk and artisan
In going to and from places Of occupation by
the policeman in patrolling his beat, by the
pOstman in making his rounds, by the soldier
In the Army, by the explorer on his travels, 10y
the invalid for health, by the athlete for
strength. for social pleasure, for communion
and condition Of man and for almost every con-
ceivable good purpose.
Two things are chiefly aiding in this wide ex-
tension Of its use. and will probably continue
so 10 do to a still greater extent. One Is the
making Of good roads. asphalted in the cities
and macadamized in the country. These have
enormously encouraged the wider use OF the
Wheel and. conversely. are themselves largely
the creation Of the wheel. Greatly as they bene-
fit all the people. 1t is perfectly within bounds
TO say that their existence Is due to the agita-
ton and efforts Of wheelmen far more than 10
any other cause. The other thing that is pro-
