INCOME TAX BILL.

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN
At "A meeting held at the Chamber
of Commerce on st. Patrick's day
in the evening, to consider the In
come Tax bill rs introduced by
Representative Robertson, / WAS
glad to zee that all the speakers
favored an income tax. But as
usual in this mahope country,
procrastinaiion was the order. 1t
was advised that the Legislature
empower commission to look
into the subject, draft law and
submit it to the next Legislature.
After the commission has gone
into the subject, framed an
act, and put the government
to a great deal Of expenses,
will we he any nearer the solution
of the main question at issue,
which is the constitutionality of
an income tax a? | submit we will
not. / believe a better method
would be for the Legislature to
pass a simple income tax at low
rate, say one eighth of one per cent,
ut this session. A test case can
be made, and whatever the de
cision of the court may be,
whether constitutional or not, the
Legislature or a commission will
have foundation to work upon.
Besides the Minister of Finance
will have found out how much can
ne realized from an income tax,
and can regulate the property and
license taxes to meet 1t.
As regards the Government not
making any requisition for in
creased taxation matters not. The
fact is that there is dissatisfaction
at the present system of assessing
property, and, as nearly all the
payers here favor an income tax,
the sooner it is passed the sooner
we will get at the constitutionality
of an income tax. and property,
tax at the came time, and have a
basis to work on.
Senator Schmidt has already
introduced an act in the Senate to
repeal the Objectionable clause in
schedule E of the present proper
ty tax law.

1t is to BE- dermt q well that a
check has been called upon the
bill providiug for suspension OF
sentences in the district courts.
The fact left for the discovery OF

thing had never been lawfully in
vogue here, ought to make
Legislators give deep study to
the question If why this should
have been so. Innovations in
laws dealing with the liberty OF
the subject ought not to be lightly
accepted at the beck of leadership
however distinguished or general
ly trustworthy. To allow magis
trates of mere police jurisdiction
to make justice stand still, at The
request of police officials of very
ordinary mould, is confoundipg thu

anything in Legislation can b'
given twists that will take it al

gest that the practise proposed t.

they simply make the coun

There was great deal of in
vective against the present taxation
laws, coupled with unanimous ap-
proval of the principle of an in
come tax, at the conference be-
tween the House committee and
business men yesterday evening.
Yet the last thing the business
men who spoke showed they want
ed was even a tentative measure
embodying the good principle so
readily acknowledged. Procrasti-
nation was the order, as Senator
Hooking neatly says. The speakers
proceeded upon wrong prem ses,
especially in assuming that the
proposed measure was the out
come of a fiippant expression in
an election program. If the Bull
LETIN remembers correctly, the
present Minister of Finance was the
first man, under the new regime,
to breach the advisability of an
income tax. The fierce indict-
ments of the combined property
tax heard from the opposing
speakers, coupled with the pros
pect of deadset being made this
very session upon that feature Of
the present law, only give added
force to the argument of The pro-
moter of the bill against deferring
action. These Influential and
financially powerful gentlemen
who 80 freely admit the excellen
ces of an income tax law would
display more consistency than by
pleading for delay, if they vol
unteered what would un-
doubtedly be their most well
come assistance in framing q
substitute bill that would
bring about the end in view by
direct and simple provisions
That would be infinitely preferable
to a commission, both as to per
lection of results and economy Of

Army Surgery.
New York Letter.

There are enough men who received
wounds before Santiago and who are now
in the care of surgeons in the hospitals in
Brooklyn and Staten island to make ii pos
sible to get some clear judgment of the
advances which modern surgery have made
in the treatment of gunshot wounds.
The surgeons report that wounds inflicted
by Mauser bullet yield readily to treat
ment, especially in case the bullet was re-
ceived at close range. A Mauser bullet
which is almost spent before striking a SOL
der makes very bad wound. whereas. one
which passed through a limb or through
the body at close range either killed in
stantly or speedily else left wound
which offers the finest opportunities for
surgical success.
The surgeons speak with enthusiasm of
orally employed now than the antiseptic
treatment The difference is explained by
surgeons to laymen by saying that the anti
septic treatment destroys microbes or
bacilIi or other poison-making influences
whereas the aseptic treatment prevents
those microbes from entering the wound
The treatment, the surgeons say, has saved
the lives of many soldiers who had they
been wounded in any of the battles OF the
probability have died Given healthy sys-
tenn a wound which does not reach a vital
part and he aseptic treatment. combined
with good hospital service and nursing and
the chances are decidedly In favor of the
recovery of any soldier who is wounded and
able to be brought to the shores of the
United States.
The surgeons are keeping detailed notes of
their experiences. expecting to make re-
ports thereon, both to the medical societies
and 70 the surgeon general OF the United
States.

HAY MAY SUCCEED DAY
SECRETARY OF STATE WILL PROB
ABLY RESIGN WITHIN A WEEK.
Our Representative at London Said to
The Latter to BE Made u Judge.

WASHINGTON, Aug. BIT seems to be
settled that Ambassador Hay is to succeed
Secretary Day when the latter becomes
chairman of the peace commission. The au-
thority for this statement is unofficial, but
from source which shows that such is the
determination of the President at present.
The indications are that Secretary Days
resignation from the State Department will
be in and accepted within week. 1t is
understood that the President contemplates
the appointment of Secretary Day to a
circuit judgeship after the work of the
peace commission has been finished. A bill
is pending in Congress for the appointment
of an additional judge over the Sixth cir
cult, which includes Michigan, Ohio and
Kentucky The district is so large that it
overtaxes one judge, and it is understood
that the appointment of another will be au-
thorized soon after the meeting of Con-
gress, and that the new position is to go to
Judge Day 1t is said, though, to be posi-
bic that Judge Taft, the present judge Of
the circuit, may retire, and that in that
event Mr. Day will be appointed without
awaiting for action by Congress.

of the past. 1t is alleged that the new
wheels will be heavier. if anything, than
those OF the present year.
The chief reasons advanced in support
of this statement are that the cost of max
ing light wheel is greater than the cost
OF making a heavy one, and that the form
er is much more likely to break down and
cause additional expense to the manufac-
turer who guarantees it. The low price at
which wheels are expected to sell next year
discourages manufacturers from taking any
unnecessary risks, and they aver that their
rant much of an increase in the cost of
production. 1t is not known exactly what
the machines of the 1899 pattern will weigh,
but, If accounts are true, they will be one
pound and perhaps two pounds, heavier
than the wheels of to-day.
AT first thought difference of one or
two pounds in the weight of bicycle may
seem too trivial a matter for serious con-
slderation;, and, indeed, to riders of mus

years ago upon one of almost twice that

at the present time is stronger than 1t was

are admitted by all to be less stanch and
of medium weight but, nevertheless, the
tests withstood by the former have been
sufhciently creditable to make light wheels

fraternity.
Numerous reasons were ascribed for the
rapid increase in the popularity of cycling
curing the year 1896, and at that time the
reason most generally given was that peo-

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Plans are being per-
fected to build magnificent passenger sta
ton on the land between State street and

The roads interested in the project are
those now entering the Dearborn-street sta
tion, just west of the proposed new sta
ton. The roads are: The Grand Trunk, the
Chicago & Erie, the Chicago & Eastern Illi-
nois, the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louis
vile (Monon), the Wabash and the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe. In addition, the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & ST. Louis

Monon, will, it is said, use the new ter
minal Efforts will also De made to induce
the Nickel-plate and other roads to come
into the new deal. The cost of the new
structure will be in the millions. The plans
call for station large enough to accom-
modate about ten lines. The Santa Fe al
present owns considerable part of the
property on which the new station is to be
located.
