tons:
Resolved :Thatit is the sense of
this meeting that House Sill No. &
To provide revenue for the Gov
ernment by the imposition OF a
Tax on Incomes etc, is uncalled
for, as the Government has not
asked for further revenue than is
now provided for; and that the
placing of such a tax in addition
to those now imposed will not
meet with the approval OF the tax
payers, and be il further
" Resolved: That Us the pres
ent laws are admitted to be unsat
isfactory in MANY respects, it
would be well for the Legislature
now in session to provide for
Commission to consider the pres
ent tax laws, including the license
laws, and TO report to the next
a revised law upon the
whole subject"
Mr.. McStocker remarked upon
the assumption in the first resolu
ton that the Government should
how much money was
wanted and how it should be
raised. 1t should be remem bered
that under our system the Minis
try are simply the administration
and not the whole Government.
The chairman gave out the eau
ton that the committee would not
be bound by the resolutions. He
then put them to the meeting,
when most of those present voted
in the affirmative and none in the
negative.

Demand for More Battieships.

The Secretary Of the Navy has
demanded more battleships, and
there can be no doubt that Con
gress will consider his recon-
mendations. Protection is what
our seaports require, and fortif-
cations will not adequately supply
this. Defense against all dis
orders of a malarial type is, how
ever, adequately afforded by the
liberal but judicious use of
