AnLow An TAX DODGERS.

Ex-Presidsnt Harrison. In . Speech, says
Something should He Done.
President Harrison. In his Wash
ington's birthday oration on THE OBJ
legations Of Wealth" before the Union
League Club OF Chicago. made some
observations that nre worthy the con-
sideration OF the weil-io-do, to whom
they were directed. He spoke In par
ticular OF taxes as n debt OF the high
est obligation. and deprecated the nt-
tempt OF possessors of property to
evade their payment. The inequality
of taxation Is an evil which he would
have the rich take the lead in remedy
ing. He said:
I'VE must inauguratc. and at once.
system that shall cqualize tax bur-
dens. The men Of wealth in our grcat
communities should lead the move
ment. This great club. organized as n
rallyIng center for loyalty - patriot
ic citizenship. should hear n call as
loud and imperative as that which
came to II during the years OF the
civil war Mr.. Lincoln's startling dec
laration that this country could not
continue to exist half slave and half
free may be paraphrased to-day by
saying that this country cannot con
tinuc to exist half taxed and half free.
This sense OF inequality brenthes n
fierce and unmeasuring anger-create'
classes. intcnsifics social differences
and makes men willing TO pay their
debts In half dollars"
Too much stress cannot he laid upon
the need for men OF wealth and high
business ability to take the lead in
remedying evils of this nature. More
intelligent and unselfish leadership In
settling the complicated problems Of
government Is the need OF American
democracy to-day. II the country Is
not to retrograde. men OF wealth and
business ability must recognize the oh
legations of wealth and give literally
of their time-which Is much more i'm
portant TO the Improvement of society
than contributions of noney-in help
ing democracy to solve the problems
confronting the nation. Only so can
the security of property be permanent
ly assured.
II is well That ex-president Harrison
took occasion to make these observa-
tions. for the class to which they were
directed may heed such counsel from a
man of his prominence and known re-
spect for property rights. 1t was fit.
ting. too, that Washington's birthday
should be chosen for such an address
Washington was for his time n man
of great wealth. lie regarded It's pos
session as Imposing upon him obliga
tivns beyond those OF the ordinary citi
zen. 1t Is n sign of degeneracy that to
day too few men of great wealth rec
| ognize that their possessions impos,
upon them obligations to render to so
ciety and to government unselfish and
Intelligent service for the benefit OF

by G.. Il. Harris of Indiann. He says
there is n very ugly feeling toward for

now displayed toward Americans, who
have been exempt from prejudice un-
Ill recently. The cause of the hostility
is difficult 10 define. but 1t is usually
attributed to the resentment felt by
the japanese people against Russia
and Germany for Interference In their
affairs with China and Korea. and al
so to n patriotic spirit and vanity. The
rapid development Of the Sfikado's EN-

has made them feel so cocky that they
want to fight again. The belligerent
