rayors Inco INC Tax Law.


Federal action for n Federal end
may lcgumately have an indirect eff
feet to aid the States in reforms Pc
culiarly within their cognizance. When,
therefore, the government revenues
need addition, or readjustment, l be-
.lieve a Federal graduated Inheritance
tax to be n useful means of raising
government FUNDS. IL is easlly ana
certainty collected.
A graduated income tax would also
have a tendency to reduce the motive
for the accumulations of enormous
wealth, but the Supreme Court has
held IN income tax not to be valid
exercise of power by the Federal gov
eminent. The objection to 1T from o.
practical standpoint is its inquisitorial
character and the premium 1t puts on
perjury.
The critics / have referred to are
in the habit of charging to Mr. Roose-
Welt responsibility for all the recert
State legislation looking to the re-
straint of corporations, and especially
for that which cuts down the pas
sergcr rates on State railways. the
railways can, blame no ono but them
selves If the revelation of their fragrant
violations of law and of their unjust
administration of a public trust hive
led to an outburst of popular irdig-
|ration and have brought on temporary
excess.
Again, every time that there is i
fell in the prices of stocks in Wall
Street those who are injurinuslv af-
fected condemn the President with
grcsf bitterness as responsible for their
Losses. Such critics faltn observe that
there has been a similar decrease
in the marketable value not only of
railway stocks but OF government con-
sols, abroad, and that there IS a st.in-
seltcy in the markets of the world.
Bat more than this, If the prosecution
OF dishonesty and Illegal practices, like
the giving and taking of rebates and
the destruction of competitions by mo-
|nopoly. is to injure the market for
stocks on the Stock Exchange, then
this is burden that must be borne
and must be charged not to the head
OF the nation, whose duty 1t is to ems
force the law. but to the Violators
of the law, whose pursuit of Grim
ina methods has been SO successful and
far-reaching as to make their prose
cution a serious threat agains. the
stability Of the market. 1t is not true
thai the President is engaged IN q
raid against all corporations.

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.

With the advent cf the New Year the
law preventing the manufacture and
sale Of intoxicating liquor, passed at The
last session Of the Georgia Legislature,
becomes effective, makiSg Georgia the
frs. of the southern States to be placed
in the prohibition column. The law is
very drastic in its prohibition and pre-.
vents The keeping or giving away Of
liquors in public plsces, and imposes 8
tax OF $500 on clubs whose members are
allowed to keep DRINKS Of 80 intoxi-
eating nature ia their individual
lockers.
No wiibsIaudiDg the passage of this
law there is some agitation to have it
declared unconstitutional, and it is
known that Q prominent firm Of lawyers
hes been asked TO test the merits Of the
legislation. This action may be brought
in the United States Court 10 the course
Of the next month and, il is asserted,
gill be based on the fact that the con-
s!iiation Of Georgia specifically provides
that ell revenue from liquor licenses
shall be used for the school fund.
Several m lion dollars are involved 10
a property loss in the State BY the oper-
ton Of the prohibition law. 1t is esl-
mated that Atlanta alone would lose n
license taxes $1S5,6l2, and that the
property value of saloons and breweries
which will 90 out Of business on Janu-
AIRY l is from 81, 600, 600 to 81 500, 900.
For the rest of the Sale the property
values involved are about $500, 600, 600.
/, is estimated that 10000 persons are
sGected in the way of employment in
the State, and that Atlanta alone hes
sOme l., 800 persons who will lose their
work when January rings its bell on

DEATH OF MRS. sEMPLE.

Mrs. Leiitia Tyler Semple, niece of
President John Tyler and mistress OF the
White House during his incumbency of
the executive Office, died at the Louise
Home in Washington on Saturday after
neon, aged 81 years. Death was due to
general debility. Mrs. Semple had been
ailiDg for some time, but it was not ex-
pec;ed the hour OF her demise was so
close al hand.
The funeral services took place at the
homs this morning, Bishop Satterlee Of

eternal abidiny place.
For many years she mad lived ut the
home and during that period had been
the recipient OF much loving attention
from older WashiDgtonians, as we'll as
from those of the younger generations.
Thus this gentlewoman of the old south
passed her last days near TO the
Executive Mansion where for time she
presided. She had always taken a great
interest in the affairs of the nation, and
President Roosevelt, it is stated, upon
more than one occssiou had special
invitations sent her to public functions
at the White House. These invitations,
il is stated, she invariably declined.

Druce's Remains Found.

London, Dec. 3C.-Thomas Charles
Druce's coffin contains human remains.
II YVES opened Ia Highgste cemetery to-
day and inside was found the body of an
aged, bearded man. The features were
unacceptable, but there is no doubt
that the corpse was that Of Druco him
sslf
Though George Hollamby bruce,
clSiment to the title and estates of the
dukedom of Portland. says his case is un-
shaken by the discovery, it is generally
considered that the investigation wrecked
his hopes.
The perjury charge against Herbert
bruce, the elder Druce's son by second
marriage, who says he saw his father in
bis coffin in 1864 fifteen years before
the fifth duke OF Portland died, Of course
falls to the ground.
The story by Robert Caldwell, the
New Yorker, who swore he engineered q
bogus funeral for bruce and buried 200
pounds of lead In his coffiD, is proven
absolutely untrue. Herbert bruce says
he will push the case against the
latter, who is under arrest in New
York, charged by the English authori
ties with perjury. Similar accusations
will probably be preferred against
other witnesses who testified 10 George
II. Druce's civil suit s1d against Herbert
bruce in the perjury case against the
latter.
1t was to lay foundation for such
prosecutions that Herbert bruce, much
against his will, finally permitted his
fathers grave to be opened.
The general opinion is that proof Of
the deaths of Portland and bruce fifteen
years spart aud the consequent certainty
that bruce was not the duke masquersd-
ing as q small London tradesmsn will be
shortly followed by the throwing of the
claimants case out of court.
New York, Dec. 30.-RObert O. Csld-
well, whose story that he buried 200
pounds of lead in Druce's coffin, led to
the opening Of the grave, was reported
100 i'll today even to be told Of the result
of the investigation much less to make
any statement.
