! THE INCOME TAX PRINCIPLE
: (Houston Post)
&*&xxxssa s g,g ,sx,sss.7 ssigaseaggxxxaa's'

The Washington Herald, noting
the Atlanta Constitutions advocacy
of the income tax, wants to know
what can be done with the money.
Does Uncle Sam really need the
money!" it asks. Certainly, he needs
the money. Does not the Herald
know that the national policy OF in
ternal improvements is but poorly
executed because of the lack OF mon
ey? frequently a river and harbor
bill is deferred because OF the con-
dition of the revenues, resulting ire
quently in delay of public works,
much of the money expended Is &C
tuaily wasted through deterioration
OF work already done. Moreover,
have we not a national debt of bill
lion to be retired? Are there not
millions of dollars of just claims
against the government which go I'M
paid from session to session because
Of the lack of revenues? Is there
not the Panama canal to build?
Would 1t not be better to pay for the
canal from taxes upon the wealth OF
the country than TO issue bonds TO be
paid by the taxed appetites and
backs of the masses? But suppose
present revenues were sufficient for
all public purposes and Uncle Sam
did not need any more money. Even
then the income tax would be desir'
able on account of the business Of the
income tax principle. If such a tax
should accumulate more money in the
treasury than the government needs,
the taxes on tobacco, paid for the
most part by the working classes,
could be repealed; or the tax on whis-
key and beer, paid for the most part
by the working people, could be dis
pensed with. These are old war tax
es that impose a great burden upon
the working classes, who consume to
bacco and spirituous and malt liquors
and 1t would be entirely just to re-
move them and collect the revenue
from the wealth of the country. The
Herald must know that if the policies
of the present administration are to
be executed, additional revenue will
be needed, and that this revenue must
come from. taxation of the sale OF
bonds. The systematic improvement
of the rivers and harbors, the cree
ton of needed public buildings. the
paying Of old claims, the building Of
the great navy and the construction
OF the Panama canal, in addition tC
the regular expenses of the govern,
ment, will require more money thar

vides. They are already talking
about duty on, coffee, ninety-five per
cent of which is consumed by the toll,
ing people. Why not levy the tax
on the rich mans income instead OF
the poor mans coffee? Why not ex
tend the principle Of taxing wealth
which mafntainef IN all of the local
governments of y the country, and Sc
cure large revenues from wealth and
relieve the pressure upon the appe-
titles of the working classes? The
income tax ought not to be consider
ed merely as a source of additional
revenue. but as a principle of taxa
ton which distributes the burdens Of
the government fairly, according t
the ability of the citizen to pay.

A Common Confusion
of Ideas.

A Savannah clergyman, who has
just returned from New York, is
quoted as saying that Hearst hasn't
the ghost of a show" and indicates
the basis Of his belief in the follow
ing manner:
Mr.. Hearst has a following of dis
satisfied, Disconnected persons who
are neither Democrats nor Republi-
cans-the proletariat-whoa are willing
to go to any extreme TO secure a
change of conditions. While this fol-
lowing Is an immense crowd | have
no idea that it will be great enough
to carry Hearst to victory. For the
| first time in the history of the city
the element of class prejudice has
been injected into the political con-
test. 1t is a species of demagogery
that has created an intense difference
between the richer and the poorer
| classes, and it Is being constantly
multiplied. They are putting an au-
reOle of leadership about Hearst and
! he is doing everything in his power to
promote 1t"
We quote this almost infantile ex-
preston of opinion as a fair speci-
men of the slovenly thinking with
which a certain class of people under
take to settle grave moral and econ
omic questions.
In asserting that Mr.. Hearsts at.
titude "has created an intense differ.
ence between the richer and the poor
er classes" this shallow observer
ascribes to him a power that he could
by no possibility possess.
1t should never be forgotten that
those who call attention to the exis-
tence of abuses, no more create them
than the man who gives an alarm OF
fire, starts the fire.
, The man who starts any such class
confiagration as this, is a public
/ nuisance. Those who call attention
to the confagration in the hope OF
checking it, are public benefactors.
This is a distinction with a very
decided difference, and as such, We
commend 1t to all who may think they
think as our Savannah clergyman
thinks.

Operating to Secure
immigration.

It has been suggested that this state
cooperate with Georgia in her efforts
to secure a desirable class of immi-
grants. and more than one OF our
contemporaries has already endorsed
the proposition.
As one of our exchanges puts it:
The need for labor and the develop
ment of farm lands in Florida Is said
to be more urgent than in Georgia,
and the Florida editors suggest that
the quick way to relief appears to be
in conjunction with the movement so
near to their doors.
The special agent Of the Georgia
immigration committee is now in
Europe. and 1t Is believed that his
work there will soon result in some,
thing tangible.
Should this prove to be the case,
some decisive step should, we believe,
be taken in the direction OF cooper
ating with our Georgia neighbors.
But how is this 10 be done? As
we have pointed out on previous occa-
sions. our legislature has invariably

The Neck OF the Waist,

Here's a point about the neck. The
width Of the back between the shoulder
seams should equal in width that Of
one of the front portions Of the blouse
between the shoulder seam and the
front Of the neck. All told, the neck
should be divided into exactly three
equal parts, one for each side front
and one for the back. A back that
does not measure exactly the width Of
one side front is too narrow and the
neck will neither at properly nor COM
fortably. The shoulder seam should
always remain straight at the neck
band. If 1t needs to be moved the
alteration must only be made more
toward the back or toward the front
at the armhole.

THE BLOUSE.
Its Name Came Originally From Pc
Iusium, In Egypt.

Its Name Came Originally From Pc
Iusium, In Egypt.
The environs Of Potassium, in lower
Egypt, in ages past stood foremost
among sunny lands where the culture
of indigo and the manufacture of fab
RIGS died with it we're the principal in
dustries. In the middle ages, when the
Crusaders landed - on. the coast Of
Egypt and entered Pelsium, where
Port Said is now situated, they pur-
chased quantities Of the blue material,
which they cast over their panoply of
war. Afterward the same material
was made in France and became the
fabric of which the working garment
of the male peasant was made and is
to this day.
The name Of the locality was given
the fabric, and this was retained by
the French production, but contracted
to Pelouse, which later on was changed
to blouse pronounced bluze). The
smock worn by English male peasants
is a similar garment and, though it is
not written in history that the blouse
crossed the channel soon after Its
entry into France, it would seem
probable from the fact that in other
times the smock was now and then
called a "blowse"
This, fair ladies, is the origin Of the
garment Of our warmest affection, tC
which we have Loyalty chung for years
in spite of many ruthless detractors
and will continue to do so notwith
standing the fact that, whether called
'bluze" or "blowse," it is not of aristo
cratic lineage.

Ceylou Sharks.

Sharks infest the waters Of Ceylen,
and the pearl divers Of that region are
in deadly fear Of these wolves Of the
deep. The divers are mostly Tamils and
Moormen and display marvellous en-
durance and pluck. To protect them
selves against the ever present danger
to which the presence Of the sharks ex-
poses them the divers carry charms
given them by recognized SHARK bind
ers" who receive small government
fee and a dozen oysters day from
each boat. Owing to the constant
noise and splashing, the sharks are
generally kept at distance. and acct
dents are rare.

The Study of Poetry.

Never before was there so much
study Of poetry and the drama This
is due to the modern extension of edu-
cation and to the spread of reading
matter among the masses. Poetry Is
not the fashion Of an hour; 1t Is an
eternal need OF the soul-a need that
increases with the increase Of intel
Iectual light.-Edward Markham In

Famous King Og.

nine cubits long, or about sixteen and

Og himself was Of the full length of
his bedstead. Many bones Of reputed
giants have been found In different
countries of the world, and uniformed
people hastily concluded that the men
to whom these bones were supposed
to have belonged must have been from
fifteen to thirty feet In height. All
such remains have been proved to be

Rater., saiIabout. and Lark..

What is a rater, q sailabout, a lark,
is a question commonly heard among
those not familiar with yachts and
technical racing terms. A rater is
thirty-eight feet long and carries the
double sails-sloop rig and jib. The
half rater is thirty-two feet long, car
ries the same style sails as the rater
and usually gets FIVE minute handi-
cap in rater races. The sailabout car
ries a single large sail and Is built on
graceful lines, with rounded sides and
ends, while the lark has square sides
and ends and carries the single sail.
Few larks are built now. Most Of the
yachts recently built have the double
centerboard. The centerboard pre-
vents drifting sidewise, and the single
board Is often entirely out of water
during heavy winds; hence the use Of
the double board.

professor of domestic science and
dean of women at the college and Miss
Crawford is one Of the teachers there.
In addition to the cooking some
beautiful dresses and samples of

BEST FAIR EVER HELD
IN FREMONT COUNTY.

Nobody familiar with the history of
the Fremont County Fair will deny
that the exhibition which closed Friday
afternoon was the best in the annals
Of the association. The exhibits in
nearly all departments were more COM
plete and of higher grade than usual.
The weather was superb and the at
ticipated, combination that brought
the association financial success. Never
before were the events of the race
track so interesting, nor had there
ever been such generous provision
made for the entertainment of the
public.
Visitors as rule were surprised at
the display of fruits. grains and vege-
tables, which we're revelation of the
agricultural resources of the county.
In poultry and pet stock splendid

full whether it will be exceeded in the
character and extent of the exhibits

day for some of the prize winning
fruit for exhibition in Denver and a
large quantity was sent to her for
that purpose.
There has been very little complaint
from exhibitors this year in relation
to the management of the fair, and,
for the most part. people have express
ed themselves as pleased with the
courtesy and attention extended to
them. The fair just closed was more
thoroughly representative of the coun-
ty than any of it's predecessors, and,
to that extent, is more popular with
the people at large. The exhibitors
came from all sections and, by gen.
erous competition for the premiums
offered by the association, supple

were benefited in a way that cannot
fail to be fruitful in good results.
The Fremont County Fair is no
longer an experiment. Its perman-
ency and success has been established.
By general helpfulness and co-opera-
ton it can be made the very best fair
of its kind in Colorado.
