NEEDLESS EXPENSE.
People Should Be Relieved of the
War Revenue Taxes

People should Be Relieved of the
War Revenue Taxes.
The war revenue tax is in its entirety
an unnecessary expense upon the busi-
ness interests of the country and
through them upon the people at large,
says the New York News. Two years
have elapsed since the termination of
the conflict which caused the imposi-
tion of the tax, the revenues of the ma
tion show surplus Of $79,000,000 over
the expenditures. and there Is no just
Operations in the philippines do not
come under the designation of war
with Spain. to prosecute which the peu-
pie cheerfully assumed the burden. and
the feeling with regard to the forcible
conquest of the Filipinos Is not such as
warrants the administration insisting
that the war revenue tax Is required
for that purpose. Unanimity character
ized the action of the country against
Spain. An important minority at least
repudiates the attempt to forcibly sub
due the Pacific islands.
If present methods of raising revenue
are not adequate, they should be re-
formed or abandoned and others sub
stituted. Stamp taxation Is always
vexatious and never satisfactory. The
history of nations shows that it has
treme cases and that II has always
been dropped at the earliest opportunl-
ty. 1t is quite within the power Of
congress to construct scientific sys-
tenn Of taxation whereby. with o slight
raising or lowering of certain levies,
the revenues can be Increased or de-
creased. thus avoiding either a surplus
or deficit. A surplus is as much a
matter of alarm to sound economists as
is deficit and neither should be al
lowed to appear on the balance sheet of
the United States treasury The gov
ernment is not maintained for the pur-
pose Of making financial profit out of
the people.
In connection with the war revenue
tax Mr.. Grosvenor OF Ohio. who is
recognized as the administrations
mouthpiece in congress. said while de-
Tending the suggestion for mere $780,
0O0,O00 reduction that it was necessary
to frame revenue measures with a
view to the continuation of existing
conditions. and that therefore the sur
plus would not be jeopardized This
can only be taken 10 mean an endless
conflict in the Philippines. for it Is the
invasion of these Islands which. ac-
cording to the Republicans. makes
necessary more money than can be
raised by ordinary means. II is not
pleasant prospect to have to look for
ward to years OF expensive battling.

TRUSTS REACHING OUT.
Latest Development Ts the Great
Transportation Combine.

transportation Cotubiht.
The community of ownership" idea,
said to be an invention of John G.. Car
Isle, which Is to be used by the Nor
gam n-Rockefeller-Hil triumvirate in
bringing under one management the
most colossal transportation combine
the world has ever known, is intended
to accomplish among other things an
evasion of the adverse ruling of the SUI
preme court against the Joint Traffic
association, says the Kansas City
Times.
By having one company practically
owning a majority of the great railroad
lines it is expected that the fanking of
the Sherman law prohibiting "unlaw-
full combines in restraint of trade" can
be effected. The defense that these
consolidators If the law to restrain
them is invoked may make will be that
they are not number of railroads sep
arately owned and managed, associat-
ed in an agreement to charge specified
and infleXible rates, but that they are
In fact one organization in ownership
and management.

lined in an article in the Chicago Rec
ord of Jan. 7, in which 1t is stated that
the financial powers controlling the
destinies of the great railway systems
of the nation are planning one of the
biggest economical reforms In the his

Record estimates that it means the
discharge of more than $4,000 men and
the annual saving of millions of dollars
to the carrying companies.
Here we have trefoll exemplifica-
tion of the fruitage of the trust devel-
opment which the policy of the Repub-
lican party has caused to blossom and
grow rank upon our soil. sucking away
the strength of the multitude of minor
business interests, narrowing the op-
portunitieS for wage earners and nulli-
flying the expression of popular will at
the polls through the leverage of the
corrupting influences that vast wealth
and the control of the arteries of COM
merce can exert.
The law restraining trusts is propos-
ed to be defied by the invention of an
ingenious tecbnicality, an army of
wage earners is to be thrown helpless
into field of employment constantly
and rapidly narrowing, and the mil
lions of shippers throughout the coun-
try and the travelling public are to be
placed under whatever tribute the par

upon them.

He Remained Silent.

"May congress establish In newly ac-
quired territory any other than re-
publican form of government" was
asked Attorney General Griggs by one
of the supreme court justices. and Mr..
Griggs, 1t is said. promptly answered
In the affirmative. But when Justice
Harlan asked him If congress could
confer titles of nobility In the terrific
ries or dependencies" the attorney
general did not answer OF course he
must have answered again in the af
firmatlve to have preserved his logic

Both Badly Scorched.

GAINESVILLE, O., Jan. 30.-Mrs. George
Waters was holding her 4-weeks-old
babe in her arms while stirring CRATE
fire. While thus engaged here apron
caught fire. Her cries attracted her
husband, who hastily threw the child
on bed and turned his attention to
tearing the burning clothing from his
wife. whose entire body was scorched.
Before the child was snatched from its
mothers arms its clothing was also
ignited. In the excitement this was
not noticed until 1t was enveloped in
flames. 1t was fatally burned before
they could be extinguished.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Outlook Ia Continuance of War Until
Natives Are Differentiated.

Outlook Ia Continuance of War Until
Natives Are Exterminated.
Senator Lodges frank discussion Of
the Philippine situation. in which he
acknowledged that. to his thinking, the
instructions among the Moros and 9TH
Ell uncivilized tribes of the interior
would never cease, will not greatly sur
prise the American people, says the st.
Louis Republic.
The conviction has become general
that In deciding to permanently hold
the Philippines we must accept along
with whatever commercial advantages
may accrue this certainty Of intermina-
BILE war until the native race has been
exterminated. There Is, indeed, no 9TH
er prospect In sight. The better class
of Filipinos will forever be our enemies
because we have denied them their ma
tlonal independence. The wild tribes
will fight us from sheer savagery.
1t may be that In taking up this
white mans burden" we shall be do
ing good work for civilization In the
long run--that is. we shall at the least
annihilnte the barbarians. which is the
worst they could do to us with all their
barbarism. The pity Is that In doing
this bloody missionary work we must
also at the same time directly violate
American tradition and principles and
stifie the American spirit which pro-
claims the right of all peoples to lib
erty and self government. The pros
pect Is anything but pleasant. but 1t
has always been difficult to do evil
things and find the surroundings of the
crime cheerful and grateful to the soul.

Bank Teller Missing.

Chicago, Jan. 28.-Arthur Barnard,
teller of Zion City bank, the private
financial institution established by
John FleiX Dowie four years ago, has
disappeared. His father, c. j. Barnard,
cashier Of tke bank, reported his dis
appearance at the Englewood police
station. He is of the belief that his son
has been kidnapped and is held for ran
som, belief, which is shared by Mr..
Dowie and several members of his
church. The kidnapping theory is not
entertained SO strongly by the police
They think 1t more than probable that
young Barnard has been held up by
robbers and possibly injured.
