The course taken by the French min
istry In arbitrarily forbidding discus
sion of its acts was foreseen. 1t is the
course that has been taken shortly be-
fore Its fall by each of the French gov
ernments that has been overthrow by
revolution during the past seventy
years. The precedents do not warrant
the Inference that Il change is at hand.
The second empire and the citizen king
both went on for several years after
the policy of supprcssing criticism had
been adopted. But this sort OF vic,
lence reveals a weakness that had been
yelled. and by that disclosure invites
and encourages assault.

One remedy for the dOdging Of taxes
on personal property suggested by Gen
eral Harrison is entitled to something
more than casual consideration. 1t Is
that a meeting OF the tax commission
ers OF considerable number of States
lie held. to consult as to some plan for
the taxation of personal property that
will secure a uniform system. one of
the embarrassments at the present time
Is that when State undertakes to
adopt a plan which will increase the
taxation of certain classes OF property,
1t becomes serious loser by the re-
moval of those who are taxed under
such a system. New Jersey is said to
be the paradise of New York tax dodg.
ers. Ohio Is said to have lost a num-
Der Of wealthy citizens because the
State undertook to tax them. One was
so incensed. not long ago. that he dis
posed OF all his property In Ohio and
left the State in something of huif.
Tax commissioners, like insurance am;
labor commissioners. could meet. CON
slider plans and finally adopt some one
| of them. This plan they could recon-
mend to the Legislatures of the States
represented. and thereby n uniform >ys-
| TEN for more adequate taxation could
, he secured. Taxation is not one of the
! topics which the people generally dis
cuss. They complain of local taxation
| hut when the topic is discussed it Is
| Federal taxation. usually the taxation
OF the poor to pay for bonds. This may
be important, but, compared with local
| taxation, ii is inconSeuuential. The
| agitation of the topics which General
| Harrison has brought TO the front IN
| neighborhoods. in village or TOWNSHIP
meetings for the purpose would cal
! public attention to the injustice In 4;
manner which could not fail 10 be gen
orally beneficial.

The conclusion Is forced upon us that
the builders of warships might collab
crate with the architects of the great
commerce carriers and combine speed
with safety. The agents of the Atlantic
liners never lose much sleep when one
Of the ships is overdue. They admit
that her machinery may be broken, but
experience has taught them that her
chances are good for making port. des-
pite the handicap. Our great warships
founder about in calm harbors, strike
a sandbar or an Insignificant tug and
promptly go into dry dock for repairs
costing thousands of dollars. There Is
a lesson in this for somebody, possibly
the builder Of modern ba,tle-Ships.

Are the statements about Spain de-

descriptions Of her aptiquated institn-

ment? Is this view of Spain purely an
American view? At one time this little
