THE RAISING OF REVENUE.

Just now the question of raising the
war revenue is only secondary in public
interest to the expectancy of news of
battle
In the House Mr.. Dingley has re-
ported bill which provides tax of 81
per barrel on beer, IL cents per pound
on tobacco, "a per thousand on cigars
and cigarettes, a special license tax on
dealers and peddlers of tobacco, and
stamp tax on legal papers, proprietary
medicines, bank checks, and drafts. 1t
further authorizes a $500 000, 900 loan at
per cent per annum, payable in not
less than ten and within twenty years.
In addition, the bill authorizes the is
sue OF 500, 900, 600 of certificates of in
debtedness, to run not exceeding one
year.
Ninety million dollars, it Is estimated
will be derived from the internal reve-
nue. features of the bill. The total
amount, therefore, which the bill in
wolves is $500, 100000.
The democratic, pOpulist, and silver
republican members of both Houses are
almost a unit in opposing that part Of
the bill relating to the bond issue. The
principal grounds Of objection may be
summarized as follows:
First, That the lean is excessive, in
view of the probable cost of the war be-
tween now and next December when
Congress meets again and will then
again have consideration of the sub
ject.
Second, That there is no necessity
at this time of bond issue. Because
first, there remains available in the
treasury more than sixty million dollars
in gold, over and ABOVE the required
hundred million dollar reserve, of the
proceeds of the Cleveland Morgan bond
deal; second, forty. eighY million dollars
additional may be derived from the
coinage of the seigniOrage in the treas
ury, making total of more than SllO,-
00O, 900 that is Immediately available,
without the issuance of dollar of
bonds.
Third, That a tax Of one-half of one
per cent on bank deposits will add ten
million dollars per year to the revenue
expected to be derived from the beer
and other domestic lmpcsts provided
for In the pending bill. And lastly a
tax should be levied on incomes.
The democratic, silver republican,
and populist members complain bitterly
that under stress of war exegencies the
republican leaders are trying to force
through proposition to bond the Uni
ted States for five hundred million dol
lars, whilst refusing to make use of the
fOrty-eight million dollars of seignior-
age available in the treasury, and other
means of raising war revenue suffl-
cient to meet the probable cost of this
war, without resOrting to bonds.
1t is the old fight which involves the
cardinal differences of opinion existing
between the two great political parties.
Time alone will justify the action Of
the one or the opposition Of the other.
If there be any extensive opposition to
the bill of Mr.. Dingley, we spprehend
that Of a sudden the newspapers of the
great eastern cities will devote their
columns to tremendous denunclation

DISCUSSING the proposition OF rails
ing revenue by levying an income tax,
Mr.. Bailey, the democratic leader of
the House, In a speech on the war tar
if bill, was IN favor Of resubmitting to
the supreme court the constitutionality
Of such an act. He said that the court
upon the occasion of its decision In 1894
had hung in balance. One of the JUS
tices had changed his opinion within
q month. The decision had been rem
dered by a court divided, FIVE to four.
That demonstrated the fact 1t was an
open question. Mr.. Bailey entered
upon an extended argument upon the
constitutionslity Of an income tax COM
batting the theory that it was direct
tax inhibited by the constitution. He
declared that the income tax was the
most just tax ever conceived. 1t was
the only tax that rose with mans
ability to pay, and fell with his insbil-
ity to paw. 1t was the only tax that In
creased in times Of prosperity and de-
creased in adversely. 1t took from the
citizen only when the citizen was able
TO pay, As for the argument that the

Tent below. His vain efforts to use
mis- wings only multiplied his strange
gyrations through the air. but before ne
could reach the ground the two parent
birds had darted downward in time to
receive him or their backs.
IL was impossible for them to fly with
the bird on their shoulders, but they
glided slowly downward with wings
o~utspread until they reached the top of
h trees, where they managed to land
the ~youngster safely among h shell
tering branches. Then they gave a
chirp of delight and returned TO the
nest To warn the others against any
such ~fOolhardy venture.
The FIRST lessons In flying are very
difficult for young birds reared In such
high homes. The first flight of a fiedg-
ling must of necessity be short. and III
he should attempt to fly downward to
the streets below he would undoubted-
ly plunge forward with such impetu-
osity as to kill him when he reached
the pavement. Consequently the par
ent bird directs the first flight. either
to a neighboring roof a short distance
below, or. IL the high building stand
alone, they eac the ledgling to jump
from their nest first straight out and
then upward. and at last back again
toward h building. They thus de-
scribe an upward circle and land with
a flop upon the roof.
on these tall roofs the young birds
receive their regular lessons, flying
back and forth with perfect safety,
with neither cats nor small boys to dis
tUrb them. and there they remain until
their strength and their wings are full
ly developed. Then they are taught to
fly down to the roofs below, and from
there to the streets.
The first attempts of the young birds
To fX from their nnGfG ~ the roof nVar-
are amusing. They jump out into
space and fiutter with uncertain flight
upward, and then attempt to turf a
sharp angle. They are not always sue
cessful, and sometimes begin to de-
scend before they have cache the
edge of the roof; but II there is danger
of their missing It, the parents birds
flop against them with such force as
to knock them several feet toward the
building. 1t is a rude way to treat the
little ones, but il is safe and effectual.-

SOME FACTS ABOUT CUBA
DR.. L. c. Thomas Delivers an In
teresting Lecture.
COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE
A Few Years of American Push and En-
ergy All That Is Necessary to
Make the Island a Yer
table Paradise.

DR.. L. c. Thomas delivered a very
interesting lecture on Cuba at the Chris
tan church last evening. DR.. Thomas
was in Cuba during the months Of No
vember. December and January last AID
made a very thorough study of the IN
habitants and the country. He said
that after travelling through the country
then he was satisfied that the only
thing necessary to make Cuba the gar
den spot of the earth was Yankee push;
that there were $4,000. 900 acres. nearly
all of which are fl for cultivation, while
only 1000. 900 acres have been under
cultivation. The exports from these W
years ago amounted to SAG. 000. 600. more
han half Of which came to the United
States. He had always been in sympa-
thy with the insurgents. as there was
nothing for them 10 do but fight for lib
erty or continue to live in Ignorance
under Spanish tyranny; taxed TO death
TO support a government which woul
not allow them TO grOw mentally, ply
sically, financially or even in popula-
tion.
Describing the colored race on the
islands, which comprises about one
third of the population. he said that
AHNN were ubAs rs II EtittdllN EuHIbSfAs
like our negroes. but far superior in ap-
pearance and in intelligence. and are
very quiet Of amer The Cubans,
comprising more than half the popula-
ton, were not like the MeNicans, as is
thought, but of pure Spanish origin.
Still they we're entirely different from
the Spaniard, For instance. you would
see the Spanish going TO a bull fight on
Sunday. while the Cubans preferred "a

ness was that they did not look into
the future. They were too pleasuro-lov-
ing and indolent. In factories. where a
number are employed. il is necessary to
have one person read 10 them while
they work to prevent their loaflng and
talking together.
DIR. Thomas does not think that the
people are capable of self-government.
because their hatred will not die out
and they are now too ignorant. but he
is satisfied that II the United States
established a protectorate the people Of
this country will soon control the island,
and inside Of 10 years the language
spoken there will be our language. The
climate is healthy and will be so for
Americans. If the harbors are drained
and sanitary regulations adopted n
properly looked after there would be no
more yellow fever than there is here.
Americans who will go there in the win
ter and get used To the climate can live
there is well as here. but IL would be
advisable to settle i'm the northern parts.
where il is not very hot.
DIR. Thomas says his lecture tour has
been very successful, as a great number
Of people are contemplating going 10
Cuba and are very much interested. He
is very enthusiastic himself over the
future development Of the country and
thinks that when things become settled
IL will have a boom never known before
by any country.

DAVIS PAID THE BILLS
Only $25 of the "Send-Of" Fund
Contributed.
NO SOLICITING WAS DONE
1t Was Urged That Voluntary subscrip-
tons Be Left at the Bank-Supt. T.
w. Buzz Only Responded.
Davis Did the Rest.

Now that our soldier boys are be-
ginning to disband and will soon be
coming home. 1t should prove of gem
eral interest to know the condition OF
that fund which was raised, or was
to be raised. in Butte a few months ago
for the purpose Of giving the boys a
good 'send-off." 1t will be remembered
that Butte was quite enthusiastic at
that time. 1t was decided to raise a
big fund to give the boys a fitting
"send-off,' and the balance left after
paying for the send-off should be
turned into a charity fund to take care
of the families left behind by departing
soldiers. Some went so far as to de-
eide that what should be left of this
fund after taking care of he families
should be used in giving the boys a
rousing reception on their return.
Butte seemed pretty enthusiastic over
this fund and it was expected that the
contributions would swell the total into
the thousands. 1t was decided not to
solicit subscriptions. but to have
everybody who wanted to contribute
leave his money at one of the banks.
The papers agitated the matter. the
PEOPLE discussed IL Enthusiastically and
1t was expected that the money would
just pour into the banks.
The Butte boys had a good "send-on'
all right. but the fact is that If the
send-off had depended on that fund
to be raised by voluntary contributions
il would never have taken place. Let
alone taking care of the families and
welcoming the soldiers back, there was
not enough raised for one side of a
send-off. The sum total of contribu-
tons received by the banks for his
send-off was $25. That was sent down
to the First National bank by Super
irtendent T. w. Buzzo Of the Alice
mine. and is all that was ever received.
The itemized statement Of the cost
Of the "send-off' is as follows: Great
Northern railway, fares IL. K Nj. band,
$50; Charles Schattlein. lettering and
flags. -S5S.15: Bee Hive company, flags
to schools, $24.44; r +. Calkins. flags,
S9S.56: Boston & Montana band, $l24;
total expenses. $430.15.
The itemiZed expenses Of the band
were as follows: Lunch at Basin, 80;
express, Butte. 81; telegram to Basin,
so cents: street car fare, Helena. $3.50;
street car fare, Helena, 81: street car
fare. Helena. 81; meals, Hotel Helena,
$24: wages of band. sS7; total. 1924.
The band only charged wages for
one day, contributing their services
during the balance of the Helena trip.
To balance this expense Of S430.15 for
the 'send-off" only S25 was, as stated,
received. The balance of s405.15 was
paid by A.. j. Davis. jr.. Of the First
National bank, which shows that ii is
a pretty good thing to have a public
spirited banker living in a city when
there is a 'send-on'' to be given.
