they have largely brought the trouble upon
themselves by Systematically dodging the
ordinary tax burdens Of the States The
effort made by the local authorities to cir
cumvent such attempts TO avoid Just obli-
cations has been recently sustained as
constitutional by the supreme court at
Washington and has suggested to the Fed
eral government. doubtless. the wisdom
OF resorting 10 similar tax to reach
wealthy would-bc delinauents.
Unquestionably there will be cases where
an Inheritance tax will be unjust and "a
and large estates pay their proportion OF
taxation In the ordinary channels. and to
take large slice OF tho fortune out OF the
hands of the legatees before requests or IN
heritances can pass. looks like a species OF
extortlon. The claim is made. however,
that the cases In which injustice will be
done will be rare compared with those
where the government only obtftns its just
dues after the death OF the millionaire.
There is a practical effect likely from
the general adoption of this policy OF an In
hcritance tax that is looked to for innu-
morable good results. 1t is argued that
such tax will induce the owners of large
fortunes practically to dispose of their as.
sets during their lifetime. Tho close-fist-
ed and narrow minded, who hold great es-
tates without ever contributing to public
advancement In anyway and are rather
stumbling blocks to progress, will espe-
olally be disposed to avoid heavy inherit
ance tax and moved by some natural effec-
ton. will divide up their possessions in
ample time 10 escape the post mortom as
sessment.
Whatever may be the results. II seems
certain that the inheritance tax idea is
growing in popularity and may safely be
regarded as having come TO stay and TO
count new conquests. 1t Is likely to be a
regular feature in all tax codes In this
country before many more years.

The Houston Post and Galveston New.
continue their rivalry for popular favor Ia
South Texas. The Post took such big
lead In Victoria that the News reduced it's
price from "a to G5 cents per month and
still The Post retains its big list of sub
scribers at the old price. The Victoria Al
vocate is somewhat perpexed at this state
OF affairs and explains that "The Pos, may
thank its news features and its representa-
tives for Its success in Victoria; il /, had
the proper politics 1t would be still,
greater The Advocate thought that
through changing its agents the other big
daily had lost patronage in 4 city whose
citizenship Is in accord with the political
thought of the News" But while the REQ

by the Advocate, still they show good taste

anxious for conquest here are opportunI-
ties for brilliant results without the resort
to armies and ships.
But such peaceful victories as suggested
would not afford the executive chance TO
multiply his patronage, nor give trusts and
syndicates monopolies In new countries
under the special control of congress, nor
distribute government bounties as rewards
for campaign services!
The now expansive policy" that this
Nation ought to adopt Is to drop It's tarin
monstrosities and go In for a commercial
conquest OF contiguous territories and out
lying islands by mutual concessions rather
than by armed Intervention. America can
conquer the world commercially by the
right kind OF an expansive policy" but
not through National selfishness nor parti-
san or class greed.
