viding meager living for his family b.

viding meager living for his family has
no surplus, and therefore he ought not
to be taxed, The one whose Lying ex-
penses take an insignificant fraction of
his income and whose surplus mounts
into the millions can afford to be taxed
heavily. Taxes such as our present
ones which wipe out the entire surplus
of persons with small incomes and leave
persons with large incomes unaffected
tend directly to suppress saving among
the masses and promote the concentra-
tion of wealth IN the hands of the few.
Taxes producing the opposite effect
would be worth having for their social
benefits, even if the government had no
use for the money they produced.
In view of these facts the demand in
the Chicago platform for an income tax
should he reaflimned with added vigorby
the Democratic national convention at
Kansas City.

OUR NATIONAL DISGRACE.

Mr.. McKinley's administration has
disgraced the couRtry before the world.
Every patriotic American, whether he
is a republican or a democrat, must
blush on account of it. The Cuban
scandal is almost as extensive as the
postal service Of the island. We have
known our spoils system at home.
Now it is revealed to the world-to
jeering Spain the first of all-in all it's
rottenness. The Cuban disgrace is q
revelation Of the politics which made
Mckinley president, Hanna senator,
Alger secre tary Of war, Quay and Plat,
dispensers of patronage Perry s.
Heath assistant postmaster general,
Rathbone dictator Of posts in Cuba.
This outrage is the latest Of the blots
which Mr.. Mckinley has put upon our
escutcheon. He has turned a war Of
humanity into war of conquest. In
doing so he has broken the promise of
the country given through himself and
congress more than once. He has vio-
lated the Declaration of Independence
and the constitution. He has pretend
ed to be trustee for the Filipinos and
the Porto Ricans, mysteriously appoint
ed for the former by Providence in order
that he might elevate and civilize them.
He has promised these wards of ours
constitutional liberty and free trade
with the United States.
His deeds have belied his words. He
has proved that Grosvenor spoke the
truth, that We are in the new possess.
sions for 'sthe money we can make out
Of the transaction" He is fayoring the
exploitation Of the islands and their
people for the profit Of the men who
now dominate his party.
There is an. atmosphere. of greedy
commercialism and of corruption about
this whole business Of colonization. We
are shamed before the world because
the villainy which has been hiding be.
hind the SNUG face Of hypocrisy has
been discovered and revealed.

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION,

Besides Hon. Claud X. Porter of Ap-
panoose county, we notice that V. R.
McGinnis Of Leon and W. T. Davis of
Fremont county are mentioned as proba-
BILE candidates to make the fight against
Hepburn for congress in this district.
An article inithi paper last week urged
the democrats in this county to instruct
their congression delegates for Porter,
which, on reflection, we think will not
be good policy from the fact that it is
not best to tie up our delegation, to any
one man. The object is to get the
strongest and best man as the nominee,
and that can be better determined
when the delegates from the several
counties Of the district meet in conven.
tion.-Mt. Ayr oJurnal.

after March IA, 1909, they boldly called

Mother Country" that Mckinley said
he ''loved so much' in 1898, and from
whom all England .cabled Mckinley for
his positive friendship to England when
he put the "Boers on ice."
If Grover Cleveland had done such a
thing he would have been impeached
and then assassinated if not hung for
treason.
If Mark Hanna would tell Mckinley
to sing, "God save the Queen" God
would never hear the last Of that "Open

''Let the Japs in" you could not count
them as fast as they would come. If
Mark would tell Mack to sleep with
his feet in whiskey barrel. you bet,
Sin they would CO. If Mark told
Mack that whiskey was good in the

Mack would convey it to his minister

it all to the government and God Al

would sing:
"Roll on, roll on, sweet moments roll on,

Thus my farmers and others you can

haye enormous incomes-be exempt?
There is nojustice in such an excep.
ton, and the only reason why it is al.
lowed is the fact that supreme Judge
changed his mind and decide that such
tax would be unconstitutional.
Look at the following list Of incomes
that entirely escape federal taxation:
John D. Rockefeller. 49,. $40, ,OOO, 600
Andrew Carnegie ..................... 24,OOO,O 600
William Waldorf Astor ........... 5000. 600

William K. Vanderbilt. 49,. 100000
Alfred Vanderbilt .................. . 100000
q. 2. Huntington ......... .......... 5000, 600
Under graduated income tag these
men would pay the government annual.
ly the sums following:
John D. Rockefeller ...$4 200, 600

Wi'i'am Waldrof Astor.... 10000

William X. Vanderbilt ...... 100000

This makesa total of So, ,O5O,OO. Would
not this tighten the burden somewhat
for the poor men who now enjoy the
privilege Of paying the bulk Of federal
taxes?
Is there any just reason why the rich
should enjoy government protection to
the fullest extent and pay nothing for
the benefits conferred?
