BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION"

Mr.. McKinley's Philippine commission
has begun operations. Headed by Judge
Taft, it is now engaged in "bestowing
the blessings OF liberty and self-govern-
ment upon the rescued peoples" OF the
archipelago.
A Manila dispatch states that the COM
mission will make and pass all laws,
establish judicial and educational sys-
TENS, collect and appropriate the public
moneys, appoint judges and municipal
officials, and exercise executive functions,
though Gen. Macarthur will continue
the executive head to "enforce the laws
of the commission"
This may be very excellent thing for
the Filipinos; it may confer upon them
all sorts of blessings, but it isn't liberty
nor self-govcrnment. Ii it isn't i'm
perialism, what is it?

A special telegram to the HERALD last
night from Seattle stated that the demo-

conventions had met in union conven-

Commissioner Bridges chairman. &c.
Robertson, of Spokane, and J. T. Ronald,
of Seattle, had been nominated for con-
gress. This morning the gubernatorial
nomination was to be taken up, with the
situation just where it had been all

field, with the anti Rogers men in the
majority. The joint convention adopted
the two-thirds rule.

An Issue Worth Making.

One demand of the 1896 platform of
democracy was for an income tax $50 that
the burdens of taxation may be equally
and impartially laid, to the end that
wealth may bear it's due proportion OF
the expenses of the government"
Mr.. Bryan in recent speeches has em-
phasized that demand and the general
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform by
the Kansas City convention is held to
commit the party to the income tax.
Nobody will pretend that wealth does
now "bear its due proportion Of the ex-
penses of the (federal> government"
The great bulk of both the tariff and the
internal revenue taxesis levied upon con-
sumption-upon the common necessities
of the people. Such system is funda-
mentally unequal and therefore unjust.
Ct violates the first principle of equitable
taxation-that taxes for the support of
the government should be levied with
special regard ~ to benefits received
and (2) to ability to pay.
To tax a laboring man substantially
the same amount upon his food, drink,
clothing, fuel and shelter as is paid by
the rich man, and to tax wealth not at
all, is unfair and oppressive.
Nearly every country in Europe has
an income tax. In England last year the
rate was Sd. (about Is cents) to the
pound sterling ($5)-incomes under $500
being exempt-and the tax yielded Co.,
0oO, 600 toward the support of England's
imperial policy. The agitation for more
equitable taxation in this country ought
not to cease until wealth shall bear more
nearly its "due proportion of the expenses
of government. Tacoma News.
