comparatively quiet until the audience
had been dismissed when a man en-
gagged in a fight with two Zion guards

sion of time. The assets, it is asserted,
are nearly 100000 and considerably in
excess Of the liabilities. ~
The company employed 700 men. It's
business was not limited to this country,
the company having a large trade in
South America. The reasons assigned for
the embarrassment are bad, season, bad
collections and doing a business unwar-
ranted by the capital Of the concern. The
company hopes to find means for a con-
tinuance of the business but at present
the plant is idle, all the men having been
laid off indefinitely.

Wealth's Share of The Taxes.

lIost people will admit that tax
paying capacity increases relatively
faster than does an individuals
wealth.. A man with million dollars
has proportionately larger tax. pay
ing capacity than a man with a hun
dfed thousand dollars. Yet the ef-
feet of the personal tax law as ap-
piled in this city is to make the man
with less money pay relatively larger
taxation than the man with more
money.-Wall Street Journal.
That is rather q surprising acknow-
ledgment, coming as it does from
newspaper intended for circulating
only among moneyed men, but it il
an undeDiable truth. The effect of
the personal tax law in New York
City is but repetition of it's effects
everywhere. The burden of taxation
falls most heavily on the poor and
middle classes. It is for this reason
that the peoples party advocates an
income tax; and because the million
aire, as the Journal says, has q lare-
er proportiouate tax-paying capacity,
the party recommends that, that in
come tax be graduated so as to fall
most heavily on those who have the
ability to pay it. This ''populist
vagary" is becoming recognized more
and more as a simple demand for JUS
tice. Our cause is marching on.

ship and government ownership are
not synonymous. Russia has gov
ernment ownership of railroads, but
there is no 'public ownership of rail-
roads in Russia because the people do
not own the government. Philadel-
phia has not had real public: owner
ship of gas works because the people
do not own the councils. Where leg
is]ative power is perverted to private
purposes, where the spoils system pre-
walls and the Offices are treated as
private property, where government
is managed in the interests of few
individuals Or of a class, anything
that is in the control of the govern.
ment is really private property, al
though it may be called public prop
erty. If councils and legislatures are
masters instead of the people, they
are likely to use the streets and fran.
chises for private gain instead of the
public good. If the government is a
private monopoly, everything in the
hands of the government is q private
monopoly also. At the heart of all
our philosophy about the public own
ership of monopolies lies the neces-
sity for public ownership of the gov
ernment. The monopoly of making
and administering the law underlies
all the rest. If the people are to own
and operate waterworks, street rail-
ways, and other Industrial monopo-
lies, they must own and operate the
government. Public ownership of
the government is necessary to trus t.
worthy public ownership of any other
industry; wherefore direct legislation,
civil service reform, and direct nomi-
nation by the voters Through which
alone the people can thoroughly own
and operate the government) must
form part of every true plan for the
public ownership of monopolies.-
