The Income Tax Principle.

Houston Post.
 The Washington Herald. noting the the income tax, wants to know what can be done with the money. Does Uncle Sam really need the money" 1t asks. Certainly, he needs the money. Does not The Herald know that the National policy of internal improvements is but poorly executed because of the lack of money? Frequently river and harbor bill is deferred because of the condi- tiOn of the revenues. Because of this lack of revenue. resulting frequently in delay of public works, much of the through deterioration of work already done.
 Moreover, have we not National debt of billion to be retired? Are claims against the government which go unpaid from session to session be- cause 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 appettes 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 desirable on account of the business of the income tax principle. If such a tax should accumulate more money in the treasury than the gov ernment needs, the taxes on tODacCO, paid for the most part by the working classes. could be repealed: or the tax on whiskey and beer. paid for the most part by the working people. could be dispensed with. These are old war taxes that impose a great burden upon the working classes. who consume to- bacco and spirituous and malt liquors and it would be entirely just to remove 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 must come from taxation Of the sale of bonds. The systematic Improvement of the rivers and harbors, the erection of needed public buildings. the pay ment of old claims, the building Of the great navy and the construction or the Panama canal In addition to the reg. ular expenses of the government Will require more money than our present system of taxation provides. They are fee. ninety-five per cent of which IS consumed by the toiling people.
 Why not levy the tax on the rich mans income instead of the poor man s coffee? Why not extend the principle of taxing wealth. which is maintained in all of the local governments of the country, and secure large revenues from wealth and relieve the pressure upon the appetites of the working classes? --.. . sidered merely as a source of addition al revenue, but as principle or taxa a- tion which distributes the burdens or the government fairly according to the ability of the citizen to pay.

One of the latest big jobs to be talk ed of is the drainage and reclamation of the Florida Everglades. This great region. with it's swamps, marshes and lakes. is estimated to cover a space of about $500 square miles, or consider ably over one million acres, much of which is practically an unexplored re. zion. Just how much of this can be reclaimed and made fit for cultivation and habitation would be difficult to es- timate. but many farm and home would result from draining this now largely useless territory. The State of Florida is not able to do it, and prob ably no private individual or company would care to undertake the work, but as the Federal government is now as- sisting in the work of reclaiming Western deserts. it might lend a hand to Florida.

REPUBLICAN DIsAGREEMENTs.

The Republicans in Alabama will not dwell together in unity. It must be that they are afraid to stand up and be counted. The ruling dynasty is un- doubtediy headed by Internal Revenue Collector Thompson, and his chiefs of staff, are on Uncle Sam's ray roll. It is scandalous for Federal officials to be running party affairs. Under Mir. Clevelands wise policy such a thing purposes of the ruling element to have a ticket, and therefore the idea Is ve- toed.
 1 Another element in winch there is a | sprinkling of present and ex and ex- pectant office holders. put out a ticket headed by Judge Asa E. Stratton of Montgomery. Of him. personally, only good can be spoken. He is a man of ability and fine character, but his rum ming as the candidate for Governor, of divided party. cannot be accounted for on the idea of hope of success He knows that his ticket Is beaten from the start but if he wants to make his
 
 into the open, he deserves credit for his boldness.
 The Birmingham Times, a Republi- can paper, ioes not favor the rhomp- son regime. In its last issue 1t says: Thompson is destructive fellow At the time President Roosevelt grasp ed him by the scat of his trousers and dragged him from obscuriry We hau |, decent and respected organization.

Here is a pretty come off. dispitch from Cincinnati says: All but thirty of the 300 laborers employed by the big dams in the Ohio River below this city have quit work because they were prohibited working over eig.it hours a day. A few days ago the Kirk-Sheri- dan Company, that has the contract. was indicted by the Fadsral grand jury for alleged violations of the eight hour law. Previous to that time the men were permitted to work as long as they wished. being paid twenty cents an hour for their time. All of them pre- ferred to put iL 'en hours t3 make d daily wage of $2"

A NlyTAKE.

Not since the nrst street csr was put into operation In this city until the present m ,mcnt has any company operating them furnished proper &C., ommoda tions for ,he pubic.
 At the present time the system Is anything else than creditable to Mont- gomery, and the authorities would al- most be justified in revoking the char ter of the company. There are perhaps the cars are so uncomfortable; why the track in many places Is 70 lad; why the noise of .ach car Is so great as 10 be a nuisance; out If thes. things can be remedied. wh,srer power belongs to the city should b. invoked to ,ro- duce a change for the better
 Having said this mucn. we wish to express our endorsement of Mayor Teague's action in ve: ping the irC n- ance providing for separate cars tor the white and black people. There are other ways of remedying exist;i f; evils much more feasible than that. The City of New Orleans has a popula-
  tion Is of the negro race. If the sys- tenn of seperate cars could anywhere be adopted advantageously and profit ably, 1t would be there, but the plan suggested by Mayor Teague prevails there, and prevents any friction or con- fusion. There is plain marked line of division by means of movable pla- cards. and If white people SC beyond 1t they are subject to fine and If ne- groes go beyond they are similarly subjected. The rule Is vigorously and vigorously enforced, and i' is quite common to see either white or black people standing with vacant seats at hand but they may be within the pre- scribed limit and therefore, are not occupied.
 It stands to reason that Montgom- cry is not large enough to enable the street car company to double accommo- dations on each trip. That is what the ordinance amounts to. The result would be fewer trips and schedules of instead of ten to fifteen minutes. Pos sibly relief might be had by the com pany using larger and longer cars, as is done in Birmlngh nam, and places set apart, the same as o1 railway trains. That plan works we'll in Birminbham, and we believe 1t would work well here. If there was population enough here to justify the ordinance there could be no objection, but at present, fair minded people must admit that ;hs terms of the new law look like bank rupting the company. While the Coun- ell overrode the veto. yet in our judg- ment the Mayors action was D, oper.

They do not make welt shoes, nothing but turns: and they have no Good year machines. We have them in six different styles.
