TURKEYS SERIOUS PLIGHT.
Finances in Ruinous Condition and RebeIIions
Daily Springing Up.

London, March 27.-Adviccs received
here from Constantinople are to the eff
feet that affairs are rapidly reaching Il
dangerous pass there.
Turkish finances are in ineXplicable
confusion. All government salaries are
from six to eight months in arrears.
Upwards of 100000 Turkish pounds
are due for war material. while the
military expenditure is daily increasing
in order to cope with the rebellion in
the province of Yemen in southern
Arabia and the possible rising in Mace
donia. There is no doubt that the OF
toman troops received a severe check
at the hands of the Arab insurgents,
who, in n manifesto denouncing the
Sultan. proclaimed his brother. Mo-
manned Rcshad Effendi. to be Sultan.
with the title of Mohammed.
The Young Turks party have adj
hcrred to the Arabian proclamation and
the open enmity to Abdul-Hamid, the
Sultan. has spread to the palace and
the Sultans advisors. IZzet Bey is
said to be preparing for flight. The pa
trolls of Constantinople have been
doubled. Mohammedans and Chris
tians are arrested hourly and large
numbers are daily shipped to Asia
Minor.
The tension between Bulgarians and
Mussulmans in Macedonia is extreme
It is reported that another band of
marauders has crossed Bulgaria into
Macedonia.

THE INCOME TAX.
Expert Clapperton Says II Is the Most lust
Method He Can Find.

Washington. March 27.-The indus
trial commission has made a report
public upon the taxation of corpora
tons prepared by it's expert agent,
George Clapperton. The report makes
a volume of IFS pages. The greater part
OF it is devoted to a summary of the
tax system of the states of Massachu
sets, Connecticut. New York. New
Jersey. Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Texas. Mr..
ClaDperton says he found the general
property tax system prevailing III all
the states. He finds the general tax
unsatisfactory and says:
1t is clear that under this system
there are numerous forms of wealth
that do not and cannot be made to
bear just share of the public burdens
and which in large part evade or es-
cape taxation, and some forms which
when reached at all under the prevail
ing general property tax are not equal
ly and uniformly but unjustly and dis
proportionatcly taxed, as COMPARED
with other property. The inevitable
result is that real estate and some
forms of personality are unduly bur
dened with taxation"
Upon the whole Mr.. Clapperton con-
cludes that an income tax is the most
equitable. saying:
There is n growing class of citizens
who receive large incomes or salaries
and enjoy all the advantages of .oci-
ETY. and good government, who. though
possessed of abundant ability to pay
taxes, are, under existing systems,
practically exempt from taxation or
inadcquatc!y taxed. This class is re-
cciving and must continue to receive
special attention in the revision or
reformation of taxing in the several
states. While a tax upon individual
Incomes is generally conceded to be
Just and equitable in principle. it has
been received with disfavor and re-
garded as impractical in its opera
tons 1t is apparent. however, to the
careful student of commonwealth tax
alton, that because Of its injustice and
the increasing efficiency Of state al
mlntstratlvc methods that are being
evolved, the idea of a limited sup
Elementary income tax is growing in
favor and coming to he more generally
regarded as a practical measure under
the state supervision"
