Judge Of Ward county for the year
1905 amounted to about $4,000. There
were "a criminal cases tried, most OF

law, and a majority of the defendants
entering a plea of guilty and receiv-
ing an immediate sentence. Had
these cases been in district court the
expense to the tax payers would have
beel almost doubled as the expenses
of district court, with a large panel
of jurors and other court expenses

for thirty day term. Then too, per-

often confined in jail for months
awaiting a term Of court, all at a.
great expense to the county. In

but the quick unloading and return of
the cars i'll use. instead of their con-
version into store houses at tide water
terminals.
The State Register believes that
even that does not offer a solution OF
the problem. Track shortage not car
shortage, causes congestion in traffic
and absence of cars. Transportation
facilities are so limited the cars can
not be moved even when waiting on
sidings ready for removal, and these
long delays are really responsible for
the car shortage.
But after ALL there is pleasant side
to this unpleasantness, and that is
contemplation of the fact there is more
grain and more cattle than the rail-
roads can haul comfortably. 1t is bet
ter to have less cars and more grain
and cattle, than to have more cars and
less wheat, corn, steers and hogs.
Deep waterways seem a plausible
solution of the difficulty.

Save the Storm Drain. Too.

The city council disposed of the prob
lem growing out of the improper noti-
fication of the west end storm drain
assessment as it affected the land do
mated to the Industrial commission for
factory purposes, in a commendatory
manner last evening. thus giving notice
TO all Industrial enterprises that may
seek location in Rock Island that the
city government stands back of the
Industrial commission in all legitimate
enterprises for the upbuilding of the
city
This much accomplished, the council
should not be deferred in going for
ward with the storm drain project.
Having found a way to meet the emer-
gency that faced it in the matter of
the assessment, it will find a way to
push the enterprise to ultimate success.
In view of the experiences of the
past, the council should move with eX-
treme caution in the entire course of
action relative to the storm drain,
avoiding irregularities in the manner
of procedure and see that there are no
irregularities in the matter of construc-

IN FIELD OF LITERATURE

McClure's for 19O7.-In the January
number of McClures will begin the
life of Mary Baker G. Eddy and the
history of the Christian Science move
ment. For the first time a complete,
impartial and true story of Mrs. Eddy
and Christian Science is to be had-it
will run throughout the year Georgine
Milmine has written the story-for
nearly three years she has pursued her
study of the subjects. Five other
writer's of McClure's staff have worked
with her to make this story accurate,
fair, unbiased and complete. In view
of the fact that for some months the
press has been full of diverse and con-
f1icting news and statements regard
ing Mrs. Eddy, it is evident that ac-
curate knowledge concerning her is
difficult to obtain in a short time. Con-
sequently, McClures long and thor
ough preparation of its series will give
us for the first time true history and
account of her and her cult. Carl
Schurz's "reminiscences of a long life
will be continued. An indication of
the timeliness of these "reminiscences
and the reawakened national interest
in Carl Schurz to which they have con-
tributed, are the great Carl Schurz
memorial meetings held recently in
the cities, and the memorial move
ment started which proposes to raise
$3.50, 900, and to erect a Carl Schurz
memorial as tribute to his great serv-
ice to the progress of our country.
William Allen White, Samuel Hopkins
Adams. Burton ]. Hendrick, and George
kibbe Turner will also contribute to
McClure's powerful articles on present
day topics, conditions and men of ma
tional interest. These writer's are big
men, and the work of each one, aside
from its literary achievement, is a COM
pelling, wholesome factor in the re-
generation which these United States
are now undergoing. George Kennan.
who won his spurs by his remarkable
series on Siberia and Russia's exile
system, has been added to McClure's
staff. The results of his recent inves-
legations and work will appear at an
early date. Ellen Terry contributes an
intimate history of the English drama
of our day. This writing teens with
anecdotes and incidents from the lives
of great actors whom she knew init
mately From these droll, amusing
and interesting happenings we can un-
derstand why these men and women of
genius became loved and famous. For
the story readers products of all Nc
Clure's fiction favorites will appear
and a large number of writer's who
have hit recently. Such well known
names as James Conrad, Mary Stewart
Cutting, Perceval Gibbon. Viola Rose
boro, o. Henry. Myra Kelly. Rex Beach,
Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, and Helen r.
Martin give promise of as good stories
of various sorts as any reader could
wish. Illustrators of note and merit
will also contribute their share and
add to the authors productions and en-
hance the writings and stories by scores
of pictures and Illustrations in every
issue.

1t should require no argument to
show sensible people that a given space
will hold only so many shoppers and
that the addition of more shoppers to
a reasonable number will only clog the
wheels of commerce so that nobody
will be satisfactorily served. Unfor.

Income Tax Laws.

The constitution of the United
States provides that mo capitatiOn ol
| other direct tax shall be paid, unless il
| tion hereinbefore directed to be
taken
The supreme court of the United
States in 1895 decided that a tax or
the income from realty or personality
was a direct tax and that the law Of
1894 imposing it was unconstitutiOnal
because it did not provide for the dis
tribution of the proceeds of the tax in
the manner directed by the constitu
ton.
These seems to be nothing in this
that would prevent the federal govern
ment from levying an income tax fol
the benefit of the states, as, for in
stance an income tax the proceeds OF
which should be distributed to the
school funds of the various states OF
the basis of population.
England, which has a system ol
schools supported in part out of the
revenues of the general government
taxes all incomes above $500 a year
An allowance of $500 is made on in,
come under $4,000. $3.50 on incomes be
low $4,000 and $3.50 on incomes below
$4,000
In the United States the law of 1861
imposed a tax of per cent on in
comes exceeding $500. That of 1862
made the rate per cent on incomes
under $4,000. 5000 and house rent ac,
tually paid being exempted. An adj
ditional 21a per cent was levied on in
comes of $4,000 to $4,000 and an ad-
ditional 3 per cent on incomes above
100000, no exemptions being allowed.
Five per cent was levied on the in
comes of Americans living abroad and
1% per cent on incomes from United
States securities
Under this law, repealed in 1872, the
United States collected $346, ,760.4S
The law of 1894 levied 2 per cent on
all incomes in excess of $4,000. In this
opinion declaring it unconstitutional
Justice Field of the supreme court
said:
"The present assault on capital is
but the beginning. Our political con-
tests will become a war of the poor
against the rich. a war constantly
growing in intensity and bitterness.
am of the opinion that the whole law
of 1891 should be declared cold and of
no binding force
Public opinion regarding an income
tax depends, as it should, upon the
purpose to which the proceeds are to
be devoted. 1t was favored during the
civil war as a necessary means of pro-
viding the sinews of war. 1t was OPP
posed in 1894 because offered then as a
substitute for tariff and internal rev.
enue taxation. AS supplement there
to it would have a better claim to the
respect of those who believe in pro-
tecting home industry and in using the
power of taxation to curtail the con-
sumption of liquor and TOBACCO.
If our system of popular education
were supported in part by an income
tax its benefits would be more gen.
orally diffused through the rural and
southern sections of the country and
physical property would be relieved of
an unjust burden.

According to a leading democratic
politician of New York city Richard
Croker is not coming back to take
charge of Tammany's affairs, neither
now nor at any future time. Croker
is out of it for good,' says this author
ity. 'He is out by choice and a set
tied determination; out by changed
conditions in this city; out by the
fact that he never could rule as he
did were he to return. He is still a
man of great influence in Tammany
but it is because he is boss emeritus
about whom traditions still cling and
TO whom a loyal affection attaches.
Murphy may be supplanted, but never
by Croker"

plan is to have one representative in
stead of three from each of the dis

Valuable Herd Condemned.

Out of herd of 80 head of full blood
and grade Guernsey cattle kept on the
Heddles homestead in Fulton, 81 head
we're condemned by the state veterinar
ian last Friday. Mr.. W. s. Heddles had
been getting together a very valuable
herd of Guernseys the past. few years,
buying registered stock from several
leading breeders in the west, and paying
fancy prices for some of them. AS he
expected to have some stock to dispose
of soon, he decided to apply the tuber
cular test to the entire herd so that
certificate might accompany the sale.
Accordingly he made application to DIR.
Roberts, the state veterinarian, to have
the test made. His assistant, DR.. Little,
came up last week and applied the usual
test. The herd we're in fine condition
and to their surprise 81 out of the 80
kept on the farm responded to the test
in the rise of temperature that denoted
two registered Guernsey yearling bulls,
both had been sold at good prices. Pro-
ceeding under the law, appraisers we're
appointed to place value upon the
diseased animals These were Geo. Rea,
Frank Horton and L. H. Teisberg, who
fixed the value at $50. The cattle we're
then driven into town and turned over
to the state which will pay two thirds of
the amount decided upon by the ap-
praisers. Monday evening the cattle
were sent to the Gross Packing Co. at
Milwaukee to be slaughtered. Fifty dol
lars head is low estimate to be placed
upon so fine looking lot of Guernsey
COWS and Mr.. Heddles' loss will reach
close to $500. Singular as it may seem,
couple of old cows kept on the place
that did not look any too healthy were
the ones that did not respond to the test
to indicate they were diseased. Mr.. He'd
dies is confident the tubercular trouble
was brought to his herd with the stock
purchased from reputable breeders. This
incident illustrates the danger of buying
breeding stock that has not been tested

Judge Grimm of Jefferson is the next
circuit judge of the twelfth judicial cir
cult. Complete returns from Jefferson
and Green counties, with the vote from
the entire Rock county with the excep-
ton Of the town of Avon, show that
Judge Grimm will have plurality of at
least 1887. This means that the contest
in Rock county between Judges Sale and
Dunwiddie has lost the judgeship for
this county and that Jefferson has taken
the plum long held by Rock county.
His vote of 1889 in jefferson county,
coupled with the vote of 1853 in Rock
county and 1872 in Green county, gave
him his election. Judge Sale was sec
ond with a total of 1913 in the three
counties and Judge Dunwiddie third
with a total of 1924, and Becker last
on the list with total of 1915. The
vote by counties is as follows:

The presidents message to con-
gress is a most important document
and one which should receive the care
full attention of that body. The Stand
ard Oil Company in it's reply tries 10
muddy the waters" and draw public
attention from the main facts at is
sue; but it need not expect to do this
by its harsh criticism of Mr.. Roose-
welt. The president does many things
of which we do not approve, but we
give him our hearty endorsement
whenever he undertakes to bring one
Of these big mOnOpolies to law, and
We believe this is his intention in re-
spect to the Standard Oil Company.
The administration should have taken
this matter up long ago, but it is bet
ter late than never and now that 1t
has made a movement towards the
protection Of the people in this case
We feel that the president should have
the support Of all the people irrespec-
tive of party.
