The next landing place gives weight
to this charge Wake Island is a very
small uninhabited coral reef thus de-
scribed by Chas. Wilkes, L. S. N, who
visited il in 1841 Wake Island is
low coral one Of triangular form, eight
feet above surface. There is no fresh
water on the island and neither pan
danuS nor cOcoanut trees. The rise and
fall of the tide was 3 feet. From appear
ances the island must be at times
submerged or the sea makes a complete
break over it; the appearance OF the
coral blocks and Of all the vegetation
leads TO the conclusion, showing also
that the violent winds or rush OF the
water when the island is covered are
from the westward.
Wakes survey of this island was
corrected in 1898, with the remark that
the island is from five to fifteen feet
above high tide with rise of tide about
six feet. The last reports on the ISL
and are dated January II, 1899, on
which date observations were made by
the L. {. s. Bennington, with the fol-
lowing remarks: NO anchorage. En-
trance 10 lagoon closed. Island is in
some places twenty feet above water.
Nothing was seen TO indicate that the
sea breaks over it." In view of the
fact that the barometric wave is eight
feet. that the tidal wave following
earthquakes is often forty feet, that
storm waves in those vast reaches of
the Pacific may be very hight seems
impossi bic that this island should not
be frequently submerged, and while it
has been suggested that a high tower
could be built in which TO land the
cable and in which the cable operator
light find refuge, the same authority
also insisted that a ship should visit
the island every few months and re-
place the employees. who by that time
would probably be insane and playing
havoc with the message

MR.. ATK1NS0N'S PRED1CAMENr

There is no nation in the world that
ing with it's soldiers in the field, such
as that with which Edward Atkinson
is supposed to be charged. There is no
government but would stop it peremp-
torily the moment the offense was dis
covered. and most governments would
punish the offender if he could be iden-
titled. Such tampering cannot be per-
mitted in the United States.
We do other things differently in this
country. Freedom of speech is al
lowed to an extent unknown elsewhere,
the common assumption being that rad
ical utterances and extreme agitation
carry their own antidote. AS Senator
Morgan, one of the most enthusiastic
of expansionists, has maintained, Mr..
Atkinson and the anti-imperialist
league may talk and resolve and dis
tribute their manifestoes to their
hearts content. so far as the civil au-
thority extends. Hence there has
been no seizure of pamphlets designed
for distribution at home.
The Philippines, however, are under
the military regime. Only martial law
prevails there, and under that arbi-
trary system, the will of the govern
ment is supreme. The government has
similarly absolute control over the
army, with which it may do as it likes
Most certainly no agitator would be
allowed to go from camp to camp, ha-
ranguing the soldiers and melting them
to mutiny or to withdraw their sup
port from the army, nor can anybody
be allowed to attempt the same pur-
pose by means of printed addresses and
pamphlets.
Postmaster General Smith is quoted
as saying that Mr. Atkinson has
violated a federal statute which
provides punishment for those who in
cite rebellion or instruction, or who
give aid or comfort to those engaged
in it. 1t is risky for the laity to guess
at the Interpretation of laws or to an
ticipate the decision of a court; but
if the government felt that it was ac-
tually embarrassed by the activity of
the anti-imperialist propagandists, it
might proceed against them under this
statute. The Washington dispatches
indicate that the ants have not yet
become so formidable as to make that
action desira bile

The bill providing for a graduated
inheritance tax has passed the state
house of representatives by a vote of
107 to SO, but it was amended so as to
exclude real estate. This is a conces-
sion to the men who are opposed to
an inheritance tax in any form, and
does not rest upon any principal of
taxation that is properly applicable to
the matter in hand. 1t was urged in
support of the inheritance tax that it
would hit personal property, scarcely
20 per cent of which is at present taxed.
if it be regarded from this standpoint
then real estate should be exempt, 9TH
erwise it would be taxed twice, and
double taxation is not to be encouraged.
Of course if the stock argument for
the taxation of inheritances is valid,
it applies as much to real estate as to
personal estate, both of which are in
theory supposed to be taxed from year
to year. If it is urged that the lega-
tees have no just claim to the proper

favoritism, and if it is against public
policy to encourage the perpetuation
of large estates in the control of single
individuals, or if it be maintained that
the men who accumulated the property
owed some portion of their fortune to
the growth of the community and other
c circumstances quite beyond their MAX
ing or control the question of the re-
version of a portion of their holdings
back to the state has nothing whatever
to do with double taxation. If the fun
damental argument is sound, an inner
itance tax should be paid on both real
ty and personally.
