New YORK has now no direct tax for
the support of the State. The revenues
of the State are derived entirely from
the liquor tax, corporation aud inherit
ance taxes and taxes on transfers OF
stock. But the increase of taxation
goes on. Direct taxation is not reduced,
aud the indirect taxation for the State
is simply 30 much additional money col
lected from the community. With the
substitution of indirect for direct taxes
the States revenue has increased and
at the same time the citizens interest
in economy has been eliminated because
he cares very little what is done with
the money that does not come obviously
out of his pocket. As most Of the State
revenue comes from the city OF New
York, the rural voter has even less in
terest than the urban voter in public
economy. The merit of indirect taxation,
says the Philadelphia Record, is that it
meets the ideal conditions enumerated
by French fnsncier of previous cen
tury-gettiug the larges: amount OF
feathers from the goose with the least
amount OF squawking.

Lower Court Reversed .

New York, May 25.-George W. Per-
kins of j. Pierpont Morgan x Co., in
tended no crime and committed nc. crime
when he contributed the money of the
policy holders of the New York Life
Insurance Co, to the republican cam
paign funds. This was the decision of
the Appellate divisions of the Supreme
Court which considered the case as
brought up to it when Justice Green
baum held Mr.. Perkins for his
act. Justice Greenbaum is reversed
and Mr.. Perkins was discharged from
custody. Perkins was charged with
grand larceny 10 the first degree because
of the payment of nearly $50, 900, to the
republican national committee in 1904.
Each one of the judges of the court
wrote separare opinions, but their tenor
is that there was no intent to commit q
crime and therefore no crime had been
committed. The decision is regarded
AS victory for District Attorney Jerome.

considered good authority that the labor
group in the Doums, composed of peas

the address of the Douma..
One Deputy has resigned his seat in

the prospects of the Donna being able
TO accomplish any good.
Some degree of moderation is becom-
ing noticeable in the attitude assumed
by the sociAlstic parties toward the
Douma. The situation, however, is still
full of anxiety.
