The question has often been asked,
who is South Cardinals other Sena-
tori" The answer has been found.
He is the man who suggested to Presl-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Crotelyou
how to fish the country out of the mlre
OF tlespondency. We have been hear
ing all along that our junior Senator
had nose" for finance, but who
would have thought that President
Roosevelt would have waited to hear
from Senator Latimer before acting.

THE LIEN LAW.

The principal public question IN
South Carolina today, is the repeal o.
the lien law. it will come before Tue
general assembly in . little While anu
there be threshed over thorougnly.io Is
our Judgment that the lien law VIII oe
repealed at the coming session, o"'
whether it should be we are IN oouoO'
and will vet have to be convinced thaC
- i for the country's best interest: OF
one thing we are convinced, and that
j. the prevailing idea that the repeal
of the lien law will force better labor
conditions, is mistake, we do not be-
lieve ANYTHING OF the kind, but on the
contrary we believe it will force up the
price OF wages to where the ordinary
farmer will not be able to secure labor
at all. We also believe the repeal OF
the lien law, will ultimately prove
burden to the land owner. causing MS
lands 10 lay idle for the lack OF tenants
or where he secures tenants, bis oanos
will be mortgaged to secure supplies
for those tenants. We believe further
the rcpeal of the lien law without CIV

question, and OF course, IN large

fore he gives his individual views IN

The Grave will be Marked.
Editor The Manning Times:

EUllOI luc
I saw in your last weeks paper where
one of your correspondents said some
thing about Capt SINNERS grave.
About four years ago I decided to take
up 4 subscription and raise $50 but met
with very poor encouragement and
only got $500, $500 in cash and since
that time f. F. Jenkinson Of Pinewood,
H. J. Mcleod of PaxvilIe and Anthony
White of Sumter all passed away all
three old comrades who agreed to pay
me S1.00 each. So that only leaves
$500 on subscription, which I hope to
collect soon, and put a $1,000 tomb the
his grave. Richard NJ. Skinner was
captain of company H. 9TH, S. c. cav
airy Buffers brigade, he was an up
right Christian man good commander
and brave soldier and fell on the battle
field in Virginia in 1864.

The State authorities have reached
the conclusion that law not backed
by public sentiment cannot be enforced
properly, and therefore they have de-
cided TO ask the Legislature to repeal
the income tax law. If the State
authorities would wake up to the
idea that no law without a consentirg
public can be properly enforced, diff
ferent condition would exist in several
counties of this State today, and the
authorities would'not now be occupy
ing the position OF doing that which
it denounced in others-resorting to
government by Injunction" to en-
force a minor law.

right to issue treasury certificates. He
says the Act permitting such issues
refer.to times of war only. The Sen

with popular approval. The .emer-

The Progressive System.

In france under the progressive sys-
TEN, so much of an inheritance as ex-
ceeds 100000 pays over 20 per cent to the
state if it passes to a distant relative, and 5
per cent If it passes to direct heir. In
Germany very small inheritances are ex-
empt, but the tax Is so sharply progressive
that an inheritance not in agricultural or
forest lands which exceeds $250,OOO, if 1t
goes to distant relatives, is taxed at the
rate of about % per cent. The German
law is of special interest, because 1t
makes the Inheritance tax an imperial
measure, while allotting to the individual
states of the empire portion of the pro-
ceeds and permitting them to impose taxes
in addition to those imposed by the imperial
government. In the United States the ma
tional government has more than once i'm
posed inheritance taxes in addition to those
imposed by the states, and in the last In
stance about one-half of the states levied
such taxes concurrently with the national
government making a combined maximum
rate, in some cases as high as 20 per cent;
and as a matter of fact. several states
adopted inheritance tax laws for the first
time while the national law was still In
force and unrepealed. The French law has
one feature which is to be heartily COM
mended. The progressive principle is so
applied that each higher rate is imposed
only on the excess above the amount sub
iect to the next lower rate. This plan is
peculiarly adapted to the working out of
the theory of using the inheritance tax for
the purpose of limiting the size Of inherit
able fortunes, since the progressive increase
in the rates. according to this mode, may
be carried to it's logical conclusion in a
maximum rate of nearly 100 per cent for the
amount in excess of a specified sum, with
out being contiscatory as to the rest Of the
inheritance, for each increase in rate would
apply only to the amount above a certain
maximum. | do not believe that any ad-
vantage comes either to the country as a
whole or to the individuals inheriting the
money by permitting the transmission in
their entirety of such enormous fortunes
as have been accumulated in America.
The tax could be made to bear more heav-
lily upon persons residing out of the cOun-
try than upon those residing within it.
Such a heavy progressive tax is, of course,
in no shape way tax on thrift or in
dustry, for thrift and industry have ceased
to possess any measurable Importance in
which I speak long before the tax would in
any way seriously affect them. Such a tax
would be one of the methods by which we
should try to preserve a measurable equal
ity of opportunity for the people of the gen
Grafton growing to manhood. AS Lincoln
pointed out, there some respects in
which men are obviously not equal; but
there is no reason why there should not
be an equality of self-respect and of mu-
tual respect an equality of rights before
the law, and at least an approximate equal
ity in the conditions under which each man
obtains the chance to show the stuff that
is in him when compared with his fellows.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-06-10

tons are in reality subsidiary to the primal
problem Of the preservation in the interests
of the whole people of the resources that
nature has given us. If we fail to solve
this problem, no skill in solving the others
will in the end avail us very greatly.
Income Tax.
Now as to the matter of taxation Most
great civilized countries have income tax
and an inheritance tax. In my Judgment,
both should be part of our system of federal
taxation. 1 speak diffidently about the in
come tax because one scheme for an income
tax was declared unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court by five-to-four vote; and
in addition, it is difficult tax to admins
ter in it's practical workings, and great care
would have to be exercised to see that 1t
was not evaded by the very man whom 1t
is most desirable to have taxed. for If so
evaded 1t would, Of course, be worse than
tax at all, the least desirable of all
| taxes is the tax which bears heavily upon
the honest compared with the dishonest
man. Nevertheless, a graduated income
tax of the proper type would be desirable
permanent feature of federal taxation, and
l still hope that one may be devised which
the Supreme Court will declare constitu-
tional.
In my judgment however. the inheritance
tax is both far better method of taxation
and far more important for the purpose l
have in view-the purpose of having the
swollen fortunes of the country bear In
proportion to their size a constantly In
creasing burden Of taxation. These for
tunes exist solely because Of the protection
given the owners by the public They are
a constant source of care and anxiety to
the public and 1t is eminently just that
they should be forced to pay heavily for
the protection given them. 1t is, of course
elementary that the nation has the absolute
right to decide as to the terms upon which
any man shall receive a bequest or devise
from another. We have repeatedly placed
oh, 10
they have repeatedly been declared consti-
tutional by the courts. L believe that the
tax should contain the progressive princi-
pie. Whatever any individual receives,
whether by gife, bequest or devise, in life
or in DEATH should after a certain amount
is reached. be increasingly burdened; and
the rate of taxation should be increased In
proportion to the remoteness of blood OF
the man receiving from the man giving or
devising The principle of this progressive
taxation of inheritanceS has not only been
authoritatvey recognized by the legisia-
ton of Congress, but it is now unequivo-
cally adopted in the leading civilized ma
lions Of the World-in, for instance, Great
Britain, France and Germany. Switzerland
led off with the imposition Of high pro-
of the great nations to follow suit. and
within the last few years both France and
Germany have adopted the principle. In
Great Britain all estates worth $1,000 or
less are practically exempt from death du-
ties while the increase in such that when
an estate exceeds 100000 in value and
passes to distant kinsman or stranger
in blood the government receives nearly IL
per cent.
