alike.
When the Jewish reform movement
some seventy years ago was started in
Germany, it was in the main declara-
ton of independence Of the people from
the yoke of the hierarchy, autocracy
and bosssm Of the Polish orthodox Rab
bis who in those days ruled with an
iron rod the congregations OF Germany
and Austria. This rebellion would have
amounted to nothing had not the better
class of Rabbis, the Intellectuals, - led
by Abraham Geiger, come to the assist
ance Of the people against Rabblnlcal
bossism, which, by the way, was not al
ways influenced by honest fanaticlsm
and opposition to reform and progress
but only too often by thirst for power
and greed for gain.
AS result Of the reform movement
the people came to their own in the Syna-
gogue. But, as always in history, so in
this case, too, especially in America, the
pendulum was swinging the other way.
While the congregation was and is, OF
course, autonomous, unhampered by
hierarchical and rabbinical dicta and eX-
communications, new danger slowly but
surely began to undermine the freedom,
independence and liberty Of Synagogue
and Rabbi. This "yellow perl' is the
arrogant bossism of few, not seldom lg-
nOrant men, who became accidentally in
possession of the yellow metal and God
only knows how it was acquired, control
and govern the ''policy" of their con-
gregations These self-appointed detec-
tives of the Synagogue with zeal of
Russian censor guard every utterance OF
the Rabbi and boldly interfere with the
freedom and independence of the pulpit.
And as the Rabbi is dependent on his
salary for his and his family's livelihood,
those "bosses,' who control the votes OF
majority Of the congregation to the
unreasonable detriment of Judaism, sue
coed, as a rule, in their nefarious schemes
of muzzling the pulpit. For, alas, the
rabbis who possess the courage Of con-
viction to such an extent that they would
rather lose their position than allow
their interiors to dictate to them how and
what to preach, are unfortunately few
and far between. Hence the modern syn
agogues freed through the reform move
ment from the hierarchy Of rabbinism is
to great extent nowadays ruled and
controlled by plutocracy and oligarchy
never before heard of in Judaism. The
American synagogue must do away with
the most fatal curse Of Judaism, the con-
gregational boss. Should DR.. Wise, one

been imposed, altho only temporarily, by

a graduated tax; tho small in amount,
the rate was increased with the amount
left TO any individual. exceptions being
made in the case OF certain close kin. a
similar tax was again imposed by the
act OF July /. 1862 minimum sum OF
81 600 in personal property being excepted
from taxation, the tax then becoming
progressive according to the remoteDess
OF kin. The war-revenue act of June 13
1883. provided for an Inheritance tax on
any sum exceeding the value of $4,000
the rate of tax increasing both in accord
ance with the amounts left and in ac-
cordance with the legatee's remoteness
of kin. The supreme court has held that
the succession tax imposed at the time
of the civil war was not a direct tax but
an impose of excise which was both con-
stitutional and valid. More recently the
court in an opinion delivered by Mr

The congress has most wisely provided

already come from this law. but 1t does
not go far enough. Our regular army

should have to trust mainly to vol
