An Irish Land Settlement.
Signs OF Agreement Between Landlords
Tenants, and Government.

There are cheering reports that a
settlement Of the Irish land question,
upon the lines of the project agreed
upon at the recent conference of land
lords and tenants. Is at last in sight.
This is good news. if true; and the
reference To the subject in the Kings
speech at the opening of parliament
shows mt least an intention on the part
OF the government to deal with the
question I'm a generous and concilia-
tory spirit.
The encouraging feature Of the
present situation Is that, for the first
time in the history of this long de
bate, there is reported to be entire
agreement among all parties interest
cd, Nctionalists, Unionists, landlords.
and tenants, upon the lines of the
Dublin conference. The Duke of Aber-
corn, president Of the Irish Land
lords Association, who at first stood
aloof from the movement for uniting
tenants and landlords upon a common
policy, Is now fully committed to the
plan, and thinks that It's adoption by
the government would be cheap at any
price.
SO doubtless 1t would be, if the
treasury were not already in a condi-
lion of serious embarrassment. But
the Tot of the chancellor of the ex-
chequer Is at present far from a
happy one. The British taxpayer is
in no amiabIe mood. He wants relief
from his heavy burdens more than he
wants the settlement Of any political
or administrative question.
There can be no Irish land bill in
troduced until the chancellor has
framed his budget; and it may be that
by the time the financial situation
has been made clear, neither parIia-
ment nor people viii be in a mood to
look kindly upon a project involving
50 heavy an outlay.
The friends of the scheme estimate
lis cost To the government at from
S1,500.000 TO S3,j00.O0O annually, a
Variation which in itself suggests a
considerable degree of uncertainty.

Taxes That Pinch.
A Contrast Between the American and
British Systems.

DAANAoh obNAAAS'
Senator Blackburn Of Kentucky
made an error of Judgment III a re
cent Senate debate when he remarked
that there Is an element in the United
States which does not want the ma
tional debt paid.
He provoked from Senator Aldrich
the perfectly fair retort that during
the last generation the United States
had paid $2.OOO,OOO,OOO in debts, in
accordance with Republican policies,
whereas during the same period the
leading European governments had
enormously increased their debts.
Nor was Senator Blackburn any
more happy when, essaying to reply
to this, he said that the pursuit of Re
pIbhcan policies had resulted IN
wringing from the people hundreds of
millions of unnecessary revenues The
fact Is that there is no civilized ma
ton upon which the burden of sus-
tanning the national government rests
so lightly as it does upon the people
of the United States. Indeed, it has
often been complained by tariff re-
formers that the American system of
indirect taxation is so little felt that
it is hard to arouse public indignation
against it.
But If Senator Blackburn wants an
example of a system where the bur
dcns of taxation are fully felt, he can
find II in England, in the ease of the
income tax, which the Democrats
would fain copy in the United States.
Today in England n man who has a
weekly income of $3.50 pays the gov
crnment S6..55 annually as al income
tax; the man who earns $40 a week
pays $40 n year; the man who has an
income of $50 a week pays 1925 a
year on it. and so on.
There Is a tax that pinches, if that
is what Senator Blackburn really
wants.
