There are three men in the public
eye today who are helping to make
history in the enforcement of law and
orderly doing things. First comes
President Roosevelt who takes no
backward step in the progress of the
nation. having the courage OF his con
victions on every important Issue be
fore the American people, then comes
Gov. Peabody. who says individual
rights must be protected as guaran-
Iced by the constitution; and lastly,
Mayor Harrison OF Chicago, who took
the bit in his mouth and ordered the
police to close the doors of the 300 odd
places of amusement in Chicago, in
cluding the public halls, until the
owners complied with the city provs-
ions. Gov. Peabody is using drastic
measures to bring about lasting law
and order in this state and Mayor Har-
rison took the same measures to bring
about an observance of the laws gov
erning the construction of all places
where people congregate In great num-
bers. In this showing there are two
Republicans and one Democrat. We
thank the stars for one Democratic
| official with courage sufficient to act.
In this connection II is not lack OF
laws but lack of enforcement. If riot
ers and law breakers OF San Miguel
county had been ferreted ont and pun.
ished during the Thomas -Orman ad-
ministrations there would be no ne.
cessity for martial law in San Miguel
county today ii the ordinances of Chi
cago had been halfway enforced the
terrible loss of life at the lroquois
would not have occurred. Thus, 1t is
through life. Great suffering and
tribulation comes through the fault OF
mainly failing TO obey the mandates
of law and humanity. Mayor Harri.
son is loudly berated by thousands OF
property owners and theater manag.
ers and employees. not to say patrons,
but there are tens of thousands who
uphold him in his sweeping orders,
and these orders were made necessary
by negligence of other officials to act.
Gov. Peabody Is censured by some
for the drastic measures enforced,
whereas he is simply the instrument
through which permanent law and or
der Will be obtained in this state, the
Orman administration having winked
at breaches of the peace the same as
the Chicago building commissioner
winked at defective amusement re-
sorts.

THE REVENUES OF GREAT
BRITAIN.


Ever since the present fiscal cam
paign in Great Britain began, and in
deed ever since the first secret pre-
parations for that campaign were
made, most of the financial and com
mercial reports from that country have
been marked by a strongly pessimistic
tone. A certain Cbamberlainesque
gloom seems 10 invest all figures. who
ever prepares them. 1t is not sur
prlsing, therefore. to hear n tale OF woe
and OF loss in revenue" in connec-
don with The report of the exchequer
receipts for the nine months ending
Dec. 81. which form the first three
quarters OF the British fiscal year.
As matter OF fact, however, the
exchequer took In more money than
II might reasonably have expected to
lake in. The total, S455, 100000, was.
indeed. SIS, 100000 below the record
.or the corresponding nine months OF
he preceding year But 10 offset this
he budget estimates call for 100000
200 less this year than last, and as the
axchequer collects on the average only
iive-oighths OF its money in the first
lhree-quarters OF the year, little fig
iring will show that the treasury is
several millions better of thus far
his year than 1t could reasonably ex-
oect to be.
The heaviest receipts for the re-
mainder of the year will come from the
income tax, which will yield. accord
ing to the estimate, about $l5l, ,OOO.-
900, but of which less than S50.000,-
900 has beon thus far collected. This
tax alone provided over one.fourth OF
he British revenue Inst year. This
fear. however, with the rate reduced
rom fifteen pence in the pound to
steven pence 1t Is counted on to yield
only a trifie over one-fifth OF the rev.
snue. The marked reduction in 1t has
been great relief to the British tax
payer, who bore the former rate with
comparatively little grnmbling only
because II was deemed necessary to
provide funds for the Boer war.
The income tax has been an estab-
ished feature of the British fiscal sys-
tcm continuously since 1863, the rate
having ranged downward from seven
pence in the pound in That year to two
lence In 1856. In 1856 1t had ris-

pence, and from 1900 10 1908 ii was
