THE INCOME TAX.

Because the Democratic party
advocated the income tax as a just
means of raising revenues it was
charged with having communistic
tendencies, some even going 50 far
rs to accuse the Democracy of be-
ing In sympathy with the anarchists.
The Democratic party sought
merely % compel organized wealth
TO pay it share of taxes-nothing
more. At no time have the Demo
Gratis desired to wage war against
capital. That accusation was an
invention of the enemy-the SER
wants of the trusts and corporations.
Under the operation of the existing
laws the man with moderate means,
or without any means, is made TO
bear more than his share of the
burden of taxation. No matter
how simple his mode Of living the
tariff catches him t'a-going and a

avenue Of escape for him. And

lsoalised form OF exsorsion-the
collection Of tributes from the
masses to enrich the favorites Of
the Republican party.
But il appeass that the expendi-
lures Of the government have grown
to such proportions that even the
Republican leaders believe il will
be necessary to levy . tax upon in
comes and inhesitances. The tariff
has ceased to yield adequate re-
venues aud other means Of raising
the necessary funds will have to be
found. Congressman Grosveno',
the moush-piec OF the adminis'ra-
ton in Congress, delivered an ad-
dress in Cincinnati the other day
and made the following significant
declarations:
The cheapeniag a prodScsioo BY the

Mr.. Grosvenor says ''there 10 nj

that which is levied upon profit

itances." Mr.. Grosvenor advocate
an income tax not because it - just
but because the administrator

The Telegram, from Dallas in yesterday .
Post stating: that representatives. OF the
Standard Oh Company have asserted shst
their syndicate would not come into the
Texas oil field unless they could control il
was rather an astounding utterance even to
Come from that monopolistic corporation.
With an oil field in this State that promises
to be the greatest ever discovered, and that
will undoubtedly cause many strong, legi-
innate companies to be formed to handle
the product, this known monopoly has the
audacity to intimate that the State should
beg it to come here and give It the entire
control! The Texas oil discovery will quite
likely prove powerful aid in breaking up
the oil monopoly that hss heretofore existed
in this country. and the people of this State
will hardly accede to the Standards reque st
that their company be begged to take ex-
pany can comply with the laws of Texas, it
can easily invest in oil properties here, but
it is safe to say that the States statutes will
not be changed for that company's benefit.
Houston Post.
BY the operation of the laws of
supply and demand the great dis
coveries in the oil fields near Beau
mont should result in incalculable
benefit to mankind. 1t is but rea-
sonable to believe that such Al i'm
mense contribution to the oil sup
ply of America will greatly lessen
the price of that commodity. II,
by the infamous manipulations of
capital, the recent discoveries are
employed only to create large pri-
vate fortunes, As far as the great
body of consumers is concerned
the oil might just as we'll have re-
NAMED in the bowels of the earth.
Already a half dozen gushers have
been found and if natural laws are
not rendered imperative by the
develish ingenuity Of the trusts, the
amount of good that will follow can
hardly be over-estimated. If, how
ever. the Standard Company or
some other giant corporation il per.
mitted to control the new fields
does any one doubt the RESULT Is
there one so foolish as to think that
the people will enjoy any benefits
derived from the discoveries7
If it were in the power of the oil
trust there would be no gushers at
Beaumont. The trust does not
need more oil than it can conve-
niently and pro6tably handle At
one time. The trusts business IS
to increase the demand and reduce
the supply. Texas has been more
successful than any other State in
fighting the Standard and other
trusts, and sometime We are in.
clined to think that it was . wise
and humane decree of Providence
that the great OIL discovery should
be made within its borders because
of ITS ability to protect itself agains,

dence there are persons who con-
tinue to deny the efficacy of vac
cination. The statistics Of the world
and the testimony Of physicians
throughout this country should
satisfy the most skeptical that vac
cination is one of the greatest dis
coveries known to medical science.
The general prevalence of small
pox At the present time should
cause the people to avail them
selves of the protection afforded by
vaccination. 1t 10 not amiss to
state in this connection that in
quite number of cases IN this Sec
ton vaccination has failed to take.
A physician informs 10 that he
attributes this failure to the vaccine.
It appears to % that too much care
can not be used in the preparation
of vaccine, which, after all, is the
only reasonable protection against
one of the most loathsome, if not
dangerous, diseases known to man.
If it 10 true that the vaccine which
10 being sold throughout the coun-
try ~ not the best, surely some
remedial steps should be taken by
the medical profession.
In order to move thoroughly con-
vince the readers of The Gazette
Of the efficacy of vaccination We
print the following summary for the
last six months furnished by the
health department of Chicago:
ssOut of the total III cases of
smallpox found in Chicago between
November 80, 1900, and April TO-,
1oo1-the period of the present
epidem1c-I4oh had never been vac
cinated.
.sOf the remaining 81 cases, 60
were adults, showing faint, poor, or
irregular scars claimed to be evi
dence of attempted vaccination in in
fancy or early childhood-the most
recent being twenty three years old.
ssOnly two out of the III cases
exhibited typical scars of successful
vaccination. Of these one was
thirty five years old-'vaccinatcd
when a child revaccinat,on at
tempted three years ago. without
result; vaccine lymph probably inert.
The other was forty years old, also
successfully vaccinated in child
mood. but never revaccinated.
ssThese are the only two cases
out of the total III upon whom
vaccination was ever successfully
attempted, and the most recent OF
these was more than thirty years
ago."
Approaching the importance of
vaccination Mayor Caffery an
nounces in this issue of The Ga
zette that the following physicians
have generously volunteered their
services to vaccinate, free of charge,
all who wish to be vaccinated.
Drs. T. B. Hopkins, F. r. Tol
son, P. M. Girard. J. F. Mouton,
G. A. Martin, F. E. Girard. The
City Council will furnish the vac
cine points. 1t is to be hoped that
all persons who are not yet vac
cinated will lose no time In availlng
themselves of this liberal offer.

BUENOS AYRES. Dec. 2O.-In order TO
commemorate the formation Of the League
OF Patriots here tens Of thousands of young
men paraded the streets last evening, cheer
ing for Argentina, the Argentine army,
President Roca and ex-President Mitre,
how president of the commission to settle
the frontier dispute with Chile. The crowd
of manifestants, estimated to have num-
bered as many as $4,000 persons. stopped
and cheered before the offices of the various
newspapers, where fiery addresses were
made. The crowd then marched in the
direction of President Roca's residence,
before which the national hymn was sung.
The President responded with an energetic
speech, which was enthusiastically ap-
plauded.
Then. for about an hour, the crowd en-
gagged in the patriotic demonstration
marched past the Presidents residence,
shouting: mo more diplomatic hottest"
Let us have war sooner than than!" There
also were cries of Death to the Chileans!"
The Nacion, referring TO the international
complications, says the Republic of Uru-
quay is much concerned, in view of the pos
sibility of a conflict between Argentina
and Chile. about her neutrality. Brazil is
also said to be considering the same sub
ject. In this connection it is reported that
Brazil contemplates appropriating e5.000.G0
TO 910,0O0,OO % in the purchase Of new war
vessels, showing, it is said, that Brazil,
which, up TO the present, has succeeded in
combining herself to a state of armed peace,
is finally getting mixed up in the diplo-
matte complications and is feeling herself
compelled to guard against the threatened
trouble between South American countries.
Peru and Bolivia are also strengthening
their ornaments and incidentally are ruin
ing themselves by so doing.
President Roca and DIR. Yrigoyen, the
Governor of the province OF Buenos Ayres,
have had long conferences relative to the
Chilean situation. President Roca will
start on a tour of inspection of the mill
tary districts OF the Argentine Republic
in January, and will review all the troops,
lized.

NO HOBOES THIS WINTER.
Friendly Inn Has Had to Pay Coal and
Wood Handlers.

At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Friendly Inn yesterday the Rev.
r. V. Hunter, chairman. resigned IN ac-
count of his leaving the city in a few
weeks. No successor has been chosen for
Mr.. Hunter. During the meeting the sub
ject of hobo" was given much discussion.
So far this year it has come to the atten-
ton of the managers of the Inn that the
professional "hobo," who in former win
ters sought refuge in the Inn, has failed
to materialize this year. In other years
when these tramps come to the Inn for
shelter they were made TO do a certain
amount of work. On account of this dearth
OF labor at the Inn this year the work of
cutting the cordwood and shoveling the
coal from the cars had TO be done by paid
laborers. 1t is noticeable this year that
most of the persons that have came to the
Inn for aid and shelter are either aged,
cripple or sick.
At the meeting yesterday it was decided
to i~naugurate a new system of maintain
ing the Friendly Inn. 1t is proposed TO
establish a laundry, a carpenter shop and
a cobbler department. other branches of
an industrial nature will be added. These
are for the employment of old and slightly
crippled men who apply for shelter and
who are unable to do outdoor work.

While the members OF the Board OF

night, a well-dressed and intoxicated man
bolted into the room and made his way
TO the counter. He asked Secretary Refs

looking as if it had been broken, the sec

drunken man was taken to a hotel.

MOVEMENTS OF wARsHIPs.
Philadelphia HurriedIy
Leaves San Francisco for Panama.

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-It is stated at
the Navy Department that the cruiser Phil
adelphia will leave San Francisco either
tonight or tomorrow morning for Pana-
ma, where she is TO relieve the gunboat
Concord, the latter vessel coming north TO
go out of commission. This will cave only
one United States vessel in isthmian wat
ers, the Iowa having gone down the Chill
can coast to dock, and the Machias and
the Marietta, which were at Colon on the
isthmian side, having both sailed north.
The department was informed this after
noon of the departure of the Marietta from
Colon for a point called Nombre de Dios
to keep watch over American mining in
terests there.
The Navy Department has been informed
by Captain Perry, of the battleship Iowa,
of that vessels arrival at Callao, Peru,
Yesterday. The sailors will be given shore
holiday for several days, and the vessel
then proceed down the Chilean coast to
dock at T~alcahuano.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 20.-Under in
structions from the Navy Department to
make all speed for Panama, the cruiser
Philadelphia steamed out of the harbor
this afternoon. Commander Meade expects
to make a record run TO the isthmus. The
cruiser is in frst-class trim. 1t is not be-
lieved that the Philadelphia will be re-
quired to make a lengthy stay at Panama,
as there is apparently little to call for the
presence Of a warship there. 1t is generally
believed that supplementary orders from
Washington will direct the Philadelphia to
proceed to the coast of Chile and perhaps
TO join the North Atlantic squadron.
