Against Imperialism

1t is said that the Republicans are likely
to make the expansion policy party issue
and that they rely for their triumph upon
the unpopularity of the Democratic silver
policy with the conservative citizens of the
country. This may prove a miscalcula-
ton. 1 have seen several very earnest
sound money men who reason thus: "a
victory Of the silver party would be a great
calamity, but a calamity which in the
course of time may be repaired The an
nexation of the Spanish colonies would be
in it's consequence a greater calamity
which can never be repaired. AS between

HOW TO SAVE OUR FORESTS

The careless camper is a public enemy,
but one who ever succeeds in eluding
capture and punishment. We may never
hope successfully to appeal to his
intelligence, his mercy or his
sense Of responsibility, for he is
destitute of these attributes. The
only way to preserve our forests is to
guard them. The regular army of the
United States, when the business Of driv-
ing the Spaniards from the western hem
isphere is accomplished, might not find
better employment than in protecting the
timber of the national parks from an
enemy more insidious than the Spaniard.
The force effective of the regular army
has been increased to 81, 900, and what to
do with it will soon be problem. What
nobler mission than to surround the
forest reserves and guard what Is left
Of them? That would be an inspired un-

The War Tax Stamps

tn the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
One of the compensating benefits result
mo from this very expensive war between
tie United States and Spain may be the
onening of peoples eyes just little fur
ther regarding the important subject OF
taxation.
At present much is being said and written
about the stamp tax, which constitutes
prominent feature of the internal revenue
hill. In cases where corporations are
taxed or supposed to be taxed, by the
stann nrocess under the new law, bitter
controversy has arisen over the question
whether the revenue stamps used in busl-
ness transactions shall be paid for by>CHe
corporations themselves or by their pa
irons. Already several lawsuits have been
instituted with a view of securing judi
cial settlement of the question. Mean
while buzz of popular indignation is heard
by corporation ears because the men VINO
manage corporate institutions insist OF
shifting the stamp tax to the shoulders OF
their customers. From the general COM
plaint heard, it might be inferred that the
shifting of a tax from one party to another
was never before known in this country.
In reality this is nothing new, though the
working of the revenue stamp tax serves
to forcibly demonstrate the fact that tax
on the products or processes of in
dustry under whatever name, not
only can be, but invariably is,
passed along from the original victim of
taxation to the last person in the line-that
is to say, to the one who pays for the prod
uct used or the service rendered. This is
done everywhere, every day, every business
hour, and by all classes of people engaged
in selling products or services. The prac-
tce extends from the largest tarlff-taxad
importing firm in New York all along down
the line even to the popcorn peddler, who
pays a municipal fine for selling his goods
on the streets and adds the fine to the price
of the luxury. All of this comes under the
head of CROOKED taxation" 1t is no worse
when resorted to by private corporations
than when individuals avail themselves of
it, The system itself, being an unneces-
sary burden on the industries of the coun-
try, is wrong in principle and demoralizing
in its results
A tax on land values, irrespective of i'm
provements, could not be shifted, would
yield all needful public revenue for peace

CROOKED taxation in any form.

perts and their barristers to do this for

BUT ONE CONTINGENCY

That peace will follow the pourparler
of the week past is scarcely doubted, and
yet events may conspire to postpone
or defeat the very apparent sincere in
tentions of both parties.
The basis agreed upon by the presi-
dent and Mr.. Cambon has been known to
the Spanish ministry for some days. In
European capitals it is believed the
terms will be accepted. But something
else is needed besides the assent of Senior
Sagasta and the members of his cabinet.
That secured, some time must elapse
before a treaty can be arranged by a
Joint commission for presentation to
the Spanish cortes and the American
senate. the ratifying powers of the two
countries. 1t is not conceivable that
the senate of the United States will long
delay the ratification Of treaty drafted
on the lines of the agreement already
reached. But the course of events in
Spain cannot be forecasted with any
such degree of certainty. If the cortes
were in session and the treaty ready for
its consideration tomorrow. there might
be little apprehension as to its fate.
The danger lies in the delay that is in
separable from the preparation of a
paper Of such grave purport and far
reaching significance. The danger is
that q revolution may be precipitated
before the work is completed-that the
Carlists will take advantage of the dis
rontent of the masses. now just begin
ming to realize the extent and meaning
of Spanish reverses on land and sea, to
raise revolt that may. within a week,
sweep away throne, ministry and cortes.
If Sagasta and the queen regent shall
while the treaty is being prepared, and
the cortes is not influenced by popular
clamor to reject it, the end is clearly in
sight. The attitude of Europe, which
is almost a unit in favor of peace upon
the terms proposed. may be expected to
prove a powerful restraining influence
upon the Spanish irreconcilables. 1t
may be assumed that they are not likely
to do SO absurd a thing as to reject peace
at this time. But it is, nevertheless, not
quite safe to count implicitly upon the
Spaniard's taking the obviously wise
course.
The ministry will be accorded reason
able time in which to consider the terms.
But we have strong assurances from
Washington that trifiing will not for a
moment be tolerated, and that unless
signs Of speedy agreement are mani
tested, operations against the Spanish
forces will proceed with renewed vigor.
