The nominations are taken rs an indlca-

PERHAPS WAR.

1t must have been an inspiring sight
when. without a dissenting voice, the
United States House of Representa-
tives voted fifty million dollars for the
purpose of national defence. The af-
fair is very significant. 1t is evident
that President Mckinley knows more
about the Maine disaster than the gen
eral public, and it is evident that his
knowledge leads him to think that he
will have to act quickly and with
force. If there was not a war cloud
imminent there would have been no
necessity to ask for the vote. The
war cloud is very black indeed.
Many ask what the effect will be up
on the Islands, if war is declared. 1t
is stated on very reliable authority.
that the moment war is declared the
American flag will 60 up on these Is
lands for the purpose of protecting the
Pacific Coast Without being able to
obtain coal from these Islands, not a
cruiser in the Spanish navy could OPP
crate upon the West Coast. This Is Il
very practical illustration of the strn-
getical value of the group, which has
been rather sneered at of late.

dy of taxation systems can deny that
il is the very finest method of reach
ing everybody in the State i'm equal
proportion. The ideal tax. however,
is the graduated income tax. but we
do not expect to reach ideals just yet.

path of ordinary justice to all Some
of the arguments made by Mr.. Da-
,ics were the same as have been made
over and over again i'm these columns.
lie showed that the doctor and the
lawyer and other professional men
might. as things are now, avoid any
but the very slightest taxation
The point where opponents and up
holders do not agree is upon the advis-
ability of commencing with the tax
now. The opponents want a Commits
sion appointed to try and estimate the
income of the country. At the end of
two vars it is very doubtful whether
the Commission will know any more
about the income of the country than
we know now. The only way is to
apply a practical test,
The argument that the income tax
bill is not presented by the Govern
ment. that the Government does not
complain of lack of revenue, cuts no
figure whatever. The object of the
supporters of the tax is not to enlarge
revenue. but to apportion the burdens
of taxation fairly throughout the
country.
1t matters very little at what rate we
begin. but we must build up before we
can tear down. Senator Hooking sug-
gests in another paper that the tax be
only one-eighth of one per cent. This
will serve for a guide to the amount
of income in the country, Just as well
as the proposed one per cent. Upon
this guidance the financiers of the fu-
ture can argue as to what the full in
come tax must be. and will be able to
sweep away many of the clumsy and
unsatisfactory methods now in vogue
As far as a government is concern
ed there is no better or more salts
factory way of raising revenue than
the income tax. In prosperous times

classes. may he lightened by taking

some sum into the treasury.
The supporters of the income tau
are quite willing to do all in their
! power to meet the wishes of the veal
thier members of the community. but
/ they want the tax experimental Will
/ before we really begin working witt
/ it. The proposal of Senator Hooking
for a merely nominal tax is a gOot
one. and will be we'll worth considera
ton. The income tax is all in the way
of progress and not of retrogresslou
and it has friends among the wealth,
classes, as well as among the poor.
