RETIREMENT OF LOOMS.

The announcement of the appoint
ment Of a successor TO Assistant sec
Ietary ot State Loomis is gratifying.
The new assistant is Robert Bacon, a
former partner i'm the banking house Of

does not appear TO have had any
diplomatic experience except suea as IS
involved ia the transaction OF a bank
ing business in which a cons ic-ab1e
amount of diplomacy is required. How
ever. there is a difference between
banking diplomacy and diplomacy Of
the International sort.
In any event though, Mr.. Gao0p
cannot be worse than the asplalrer,
LOOMS, and there are reasons Tor hop
ing he will be a great deal better. At
the time he rendered his resignation
Loomis said that he would be appointed
to an irlrortant diplomatic post. His
name mas been used in connc'-:on VITA
the Mexican mission and with Other
prominent places outside of the coun-
try. 1t is very much to re hol ed.
though, that Mr.. LOOMS assertion and
all other statements to the effect that
he viii be continued in the government
service in any capacity are without
foundation.
President Roosevelt has a habi- OF
taking care OF his friends lnd Looms
is one Of them. If he had not been close
TO the president he would have been
kicked out OF the state department ioEe
since. Instead he was sent as
special envoy TO France TO bring home
the bones of the gallant first American
admiral. Paul Jones. This signal honor,
unwOrthily bestowed, was the last
mark of presidential favor LOOMS re-
ceived. Let us hope it Will always be
the last.

ABOUT INCOME TAXES.

The consular and diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the British government
have been investigating the income tax
question and the result Of their work
has just been given out. II is shown
that the returns from income taxes
form a considerable proportion OF the
revenues of many countries. including
Great Britain. There the tax is a
shilling on every pound above $500, or
about five per cent.
But the rate is not fixed arbitrarily
in England. 1t is increased or oe-
creased according as there is need for
money and all incomes above So 500 are
required to pay the maximum tax.
Spain, Austria. Prussia aud italy all
have income taxes. The rate in Italy
is very high, in some cases being as
much as twenty per cent of the whole.
This is also true OF Austria. The
minimum income taxed varies con-
siderabiy. In Austria it is $3.50 500 iii
Saxony. 500 I'm Prussia, S27O in Hoi-
land and S225 in Spain.
one per cent on the income of a laborer
and as high as five per cent on the in
comes of those who have abundant
ealth. Thus the burden is distributed
over the shoulders Of those best able
10 bear il. Thus no income under S50,-
900 pays the maximum tax in Austria
and Baden and none under 5000 in
Prussia. There has never been any
question in the countries named about
the constitutionaIity of the tax. 1t is
paid grumblingly in some instances.
true. but the public treasury is yearly
enriched by il.
In the United States it appears that
We cannot have an income tax until
there is an amendment TO the constitu-
ton. At least that is what the supreme
court told US on one occasion.
