TAX LEGISLATION
A Graduated Income Tax Most
Equitable

The true reason for the promi-
nence of the tariff question and other
tax questions lies in the fact that
taxation is always with us, SO where
we will. 1t Is like shadow that
clings to us until we reach the
grave. President Madison, writing
to John Adams, in 1918, about the
discussions of the taxing power In
the convention which framed the
federal constitution, said:
''The attempts to distinguish be-
tween legislation on the subject OF
taxes and other subjects terminated
in the disclosure that no such dis
tinction existed
Taxation, therefore, enters as an
element into all legislation, and is
the basis of all. If it bears equally
upon persons in proportion to their
ability to pay IT. Is just. If 1t dis
eliminates in favor of any person,
corporation. or class, against any
other person, corporation, or class,
it is unjust. A protective tariff
necessarily and avowedly makes such
Determinations, and is therefore un-
just. 1t can only be sustained upon
the ground that injustice Is right,
because it results in prosperity to
certain individuals and corporations.
Piracy, highway robbery and larceny
could be sustained by the same argu-
ment. IL a few men were privileged
by law to loot every ship and every
city they could find. and rob every
person they met. the privileged class
would soon become as prosperous as
the trusts and monopolies which
have grown up under the Dingley
tariff, and for the very same reason
they would get something for moth
ing under the operation Of law. The
law in the one case would be the
shelter of rugged and bloody men.
and the law in the other case would
be. and is, a shelter for soulless cor
porations and trust magnates; with
the same general result-the accumu-
lation of all wealth in few hands.
A law licensing highwayman,
pirates and thieves to take all of
every mans property above certain
amount in the name of taxation,
would be more direct and more hon
est than the tariff law which the
stand-patters are so strenuously de-
Tending. The president is, there
fore, more honest than the majority
of his party, when he boldly advo-
Gated contiscation as refuge from
the effects of the Dingley tariff,
which the stand-patters seek to per-
petuate. And the abuse Of power in
the name of taxation which, he pro-
poses, violates the constitution no
more fiagrantly than the protective
tariff does. But between the two
evils, the honest man will choose
neither. Both schemes prove by
their glaring iniquiuies, that
graduated income tax, which would
take only from those who are able
to spare something from their sur
plus revenues, and only in proportion
to such ability. Is, after all, the only
just solution of the federal tax ques-
tioD, and, therefore, of all other
questions of legislation; there being
at the bottom no distinction between
legislation on the subject of taxes
and on other subjects. Y. Y.

sciatica Cured After Twenty Years Of
Torture,

For more than twenty years J. B.
Massey, of 1922 Clinton street,
Minneapolis, Mimi, was tortured by
sciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time
Is beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief until
he used Chamberlain Pain Balm.
one application OF that liniment re-
lteved the pain and made sleep and
rest possible, and less than one bot
tie has effected permanent cure,
If troubled with sclatica or rheuma-
tism why not try 25 cent bottle of
Pa1n Balm and see for yourself how
quickly 1T relieves the pain. For
sale by all druggists.

How a Kansas Town Killed tn,
Dandelion.

Editor Tribune: Having had the
pleasure Of being in your beautiful
little city the past two weeks we
have noticed how the beauty of the
lawns are marred by that trouble
some little weed. the dandelion.
Upon hearing a number of people
speak of the difficulty of Kidding the
lawns of this nuisance, we volun-
teered to tell them of the plan
adopted in our progressive home
town in Kansas. If you think the
idea would be Of enough benefit to
your city to be worth publishing we
shall take pleasure in giving your
readers our remedy" for this evil.
While the weed is In blossom and
before any have gone to seed take an
oil can, fill it with common gasoline
and into the heart Of each plant, as
near the root as possible, insert
about tablespoonful of the gaso-
line. Inside Of few hours the
plant, root and all, will die and
this is the last Of It, Although this
remedy has been published year after
year in the local papers there were
people who would not attend to kill.
ing the plant at the right time, thus
keeping the lawns we'll seeded. The
city council then took the matter
up, passing an ordinance imposing a
fine on each property owner on whose
property dandelions we're found go.
ing to seed. The result Is a town
with beautiful lawns unmarried by
this unsightly weed.

Excepting boys and young men In

most stringent measures and incurs
great sacrifice, will do much to rem
edy these Objectionable conditions,
and at last pay goood interest.
Keeping young men of the
streets and In their homes is the
next problem. l would not give
much for the boy who Is not social
animal. We should not try to pre-
vent boys of the right character and
under the proper conditions to be
together, but l am fully convinced
that the best club or association that
any boy from IA to 81 years old can
have is that afforded by his home.
"If there we're created in the
minds of young men proper appre-
citation of their good homes there
would be less forming Of youthfully
guided secret societies, which edu-
Gators unqualliti tiedly denounce.
while 1 am unreservedly in favor
of the home as the, proper place for
boys, it is my opinion that young

amusements. under the control OF
older men, and always under proper
social and moral guidance, would be
very helpful to our young men. A
city as prosperous as Greeley should
have such an association. l wonder
If this would not be a good invest
ment instead of putting all our funds
into purely commercial, utilitarian
schemes.
AN association of this kind would
not detract from, but cooperate
with the homes in helping young

Mr.. Carter emphasized still
further the need of proper home en-
vironment for boys, such as music,
the right kind Of literature, and

particular the boys should not be al
lowed to read promiscuously, any

might get ahold of, just because they
had heard of somebody else doing
this.
Three more points were emphasized
by the speaker, the development of
the individuality of the boys ma
ture. a certain fixed purpose in life.
