WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-
There is nothing particularly ex-
perimental or even radical in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation
that congress pass laws proposing
taxes on incomes and inheritances.
Both plans have been tried success
fully in foreign countries; and one
of them has been put into success
full operation temporarily in the
United States.
During the Spanish-American war
the United States passed an emer-
gency inheritance tax law, which
went to the supreme court on a test
case and was there upheld. Thous-
ands of dollars were turned into the
United States treasury during the
brief period when the law was in
operation; and its repeal came only
as result of the conviction that
the revenues were not needed
Great Britain has had consider
able experience with both income
and inheritance taxes. It's income
tax has been in operation for more
than Is years, and during the year
of 1905 the revenue derived from
this source amounted to nearly
s160,000000 A shilling to the
pound, or about % cents out of
every s., is the basis of the Eng
fish act. The law is quite popular
with the masses of the people, re-
sulting, as it does, in making the
rich man pay proportionate share
of the taxes, instead of the more
common practice of burdening the
poor man with the greater proper
ton of it.
All whose incomes are $500 a
year or less are exempted from the
income tax. The amount in Great
Britain thus exempted is 50,540,372
pounds. The income of funds de-
voted to charitable purposes is like
wise exempt, and incomes amount
ing to $50,000,000 escape taxation
under this head. Another exemp.
ton is insurance.
According to the British tax re-
turns, therefore, there are about
700 acknowledged millionaires in
the kingdom. The richest English
man is the duke of Westminster
who owned to an estate amounting
to s200,00O,0O0. Lord Indeagh &C

HOO HOO HOT time

A party of prominent members of
the Spokane Hoo-Hoos departed
yesterday morning for Nelson, b.
c., via the Great Northern line
About sixty new members will be
initiated at the big meeting which
will be held in Nelson, the largest
Hoo-Hoo gathering ever held in this
part of the country. The local com
mittee has been hard at work for
some time past making extensive
preparations for the entertainment
of all visiting members and the
home Hoo-Hoos and an elaborate
banquet is to be served at the
Hotel Strathcona. The Spokane
party enjoyed the trip in a special
car chartered for the occasion.

INCOME and INHERITANCE TAX IN ACTUAL OPERATION

knowledges 100000. In the
60,000,000 class come the dukes Of
Devonshire, Buccluch, Derby, Bed
ford and the marquis of Butte.
The question of tax lodging is a
live one in Great Britain, as in 9TH
err countries. The poorer people
have a confirmed belief that many
of the rich pay taxes on a smaller
income than they acknowledge, and
come within the taxable class. This
belief finds confirmation in the
opinion of some expert sociologists,
among them A. l.. Bowley, of the
London School of Economics, who
claims that there are in reality 1900
millionaires in the kingdom, instead
of 700, and that the total number of
those who ought to pay income
taxes is S33,320, instead of 370,372.
The so-called death tax"-as the
inheritance tax is called-is not so
easily evaded. Death brings all
estates into probate,if they are of
any size, and here the government
gets its hand upon the assets and
takes a share for the state. This
inheritance tax is rated according
to the degree Of relationship Of the
people who receive under the will
or statute. Close relatives pay a
smaller rate than distant relatives
who inherit the wealth.
The death duties in England
amounted in 1905 to $4,000, 900,
this amount having been taken as
the states share from people inner
iting wealth which they had no part
in producing. The number of es-
tates settled and from which this
revenue came, was $3.50.
There is an occasional effort
made by rich men to dodge the in
heritance tax by transferring prop
erty before death. The duke of
Westminster, England's richest
man, did this trick, and the case
was taken to the courts and brought
to the highest tribunal, in an eff
fort to make the estate pay its tax.
But the court held that the transfer
by the duke Of all his personal prop
| erty to his eldest son was a legal
and proper transfer, and that it was
the misfortune of the state that il
should thus lose its share in the In
heritance.

breaches SPIRIT OF BROTHERHOOD

This cannot be brought about by
any program or formula, or by
adopting resolutions or passing
laws, or by subscribing to any par
ticular creed or doctrine; it can be
done only by each mans adopting
correct attitude toward life; and
to do this he must first ask him.
self the question: What is my re-
lation to my fellow men,"
If he will do this seriously, he
will very soon discover that it Is
necessary for him first to look on
people as people merely-not as
poor or rich, bad or good, the work
ing class or the idle class, not as OF
this race or that race, or this reli-
gion or that religion, not even as
criminals or paupers or hoboes-
but as people merely. human beings
exactly like himself in all es.
sentials.
If we believe that God make
man in His own image, or as VIM.
Dean Howells has so well said,
"made him out of Himself because
he had nothing else to make any
body out Of" we must believe that
men are brothers, and If we were
really to believe this, We would inn
mediately act on the belief and be-
gin at once to treat all other men
Just as If they were our brothers;
and when the majority treat others
in this way. the problems that con-
front us now will all be solved as IL
by magic.

Along with the advent OF spring BUSH
ness generally is seen TO have acquired
further momentum. No corresponding
period in previous years was entered upon
with production. distribution and trans
portation more largely engaged. and it
is a remarkable index of industrial
strength that demands and costs exhibit
no reaction. Labor problems attract at
tention but the difficulties obtain prompt
treatment. thereby avoiding the danger
from a spread of strikes. y gratifying
feature is the Improvement in railroad ia
cilities. less complaint of car shortage
now being current.
Distributive trade has responded
promptly TO the stimulus of seasonable
weather. The wholesale markets are 'et
attended by many outside buyers. heavy
purchases of spring and summer merchi n
disc make healthy reduction OF ware
house stocks and there is little diminu-
ton in the pressure upon shipping rooms,
country merchants insisting upon prompt
forwardings. Despite high rates for money
the commercial demand is well kept up,
western collections make a good showing
and failures are comparatively low in
both number and liabilities.

sAFEBLoWERS CAPTURED.
Chicago Cracksmen Caught After At
tempt to Blow Open Safe.


Three armed cracksmen who had at
tempted to blow open the safe in the post
office at Morris, ILL.,, were captured
Thursday after a pistol battle. They were
discovered secreted in an empty box car
in the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
railroad yards there, where they had been
pursued. The men were taken in one of
the most desperate encounters that the
police have had in years. The report of
the attempted postoffice robbery and safe
blowing aroused the town. and hundreds
of persons Joined in the chase and sur
rounded the Jail when the men were tax
en-. The robbers were discovered just as
they were about to dynamite the big safe
in the postofhce. The strong box con-
tanned $1,000 in money and valuables.
With their discovery by a local police
man the men dropped their work and fled
toward the railroad yards. North on Lib
erty street, one of the main thorough
fares of the town. the men ran wildly.
pursued by the policeman. who called for
assistance. The long lead gained by the
safe blowers prevented the patrolman
from using his revolver. When half
mile had been covered the men reached
the railroad freight yards, where many
cars were standing. They lodged about
the cars until they had eluded their pur-
suers. Assistance arrived within a short
time and thorough search of the yards
was begun. knowledge that the cracks
men were armed caused delay in the
search. The robbers were finally located
in one of the empty cars and the battle
followed. One of the men opened fire.
The attacking party was under the leader
ship OF Chief of Police John Law. The
men were finally overpowered and taken
to the Grundy county jail.

NEW YORK.

Spring trade is at its height. and the
turnover bids fair to exceed even last
years. the stimuli being furnished by
more favorable weather. the approach Of
Easter and the visits of country mer-
chants to the larger centers. Improve
ment is reflected all around, even in the
Northwest. which now appears to be get
ting back to normal conditions. In fac,
doubt as to the future is nowhere in evil
dence in the great producing sections of
the country. In some points in the West
sales of dry goods on spring account are
fully 10 per cent above those of last year.
while fall business thus far placed is also
in excess of that booked at this time in
1906. While the car situation in the
West has improved. conditions in the
East are worse. but nevertheless a great
er movement of cereals to market may
now be expected
