Special 10 The Washington Herald
New York, July BIN to-day's isue the
characterization Commercial Weekly
Joins the chorus of denmciation of the
jngoes. japanese and American, who per-
sist In talk Of war between this country
and Japan.
The editorial, headed Rank Nonsense. -
is written BY Iajime Hishi the proprietor
Of the Weekly. who says that he has just
returned from Japan and that there is no
'momentous question Of international i'm
port" there. The war talk. he states,
seems TO be limited TO the United States
He calls 1t surprising. ridiculous. and
hystericaL" He says:
War is an easy thing to talk. but it is
the hardest thing to have, especially so
when it is fought between such a great
nation of wealth as America and the peo-
pie whose trait is patriotism itself.
Moreover, there is no sufficient ground
or even pardonable pretext to open hos
tllities for both nations. whose traditional
friendship is too amiable to be broken.
Even should there be such a ground or
pretext, The American government and
people are too wise TO lose lives and
wealth for what is not urgent necessity
for them, and Japan feels too grateful for
what this country has done for her, and
her people are too well aware Of the hard
lesson they learned from the late war
with Russia, and the injury she suffered
in her finance and industries is yet I'M

ing too heavy to bear.
Every student of international politics
knows the tension arising from the i'm
migration question and the anti-Japanese
movement in a section of this country.
but this is only limited to the quarters
where the political agitators are taking
advantage and holding grips among an
archistic labOrers.
This racial prejudice against our
brothers and sisters is certainly more
than disagreeable to US, but the fact that
there are such objectionable elements in
its sphere must also be dishearten.n g for
this republic, and. therefore. this govern
ment will undoubtedly do all it can to re-
neve this unfortunate tension within the
domain of diplomacy.
'All this government needs to do is SIM
ply to give US the square deal in the mat
ter Of naturalization and immigration
rights and privileges, which is not at all
unreasonable"
In another editorial the Weekly de-
clares that it is none of Japan's business
If this country wishes to send fleet to
the Pacific. that it is not threat to that
country, and that she need not be scared
over it.

story of a romance that worked out as

Yes. we made our decision TO get mar
rled in a hurry" said the bride who. like
all brides, is pretty and doesn't look as
though she would be inclined to attempt
an exploration of another land. In fact.
she declares it is all a mistake. and that
she didn't attempt suicide; but be that

entitled to congratulations, and they got

My health has been bad for some
time" continued Mrs. McReady, "and
don't see why we should not so on a
honeymoon and health pilgrimage at the

The groom didn't see why not, and ex-
planned that Mrs. McReady was right
when she denied the tale of having at

acid,
"She was suffering from cold" said
the happy husband and thought she was
getting cough medicine when she took
that poison. THE suicide story is all
untrue, but now we've married and do

match, the result Of a long courtship and
that McReady's attentions had never fal-
tered enough TO have warranted his
brides attempting to end her life. as had

FOURTH OF JULY.
A Very Quiet and Pleasing
Day in Logan.

The Fourth of July in Logan
went along smoothly, with less
noise than usual, and much more
| pleasant time for the people who
have nerves that respond to loud
noises. The order to "cut OUT
the big fire crackers, dynamite
canes and pistols was strictly en-
forced, aud shat quieted things
down very materially Many cit
liens remarked that it was the
most "sane" Fourth IN years.
Among the attractions for the
day WAS the races at the Fair

THE UTILITY OF
STATE TAX LEVY

Experts on taxation think it is
! good thing to reduce the state tax
levy without .nthely removing it. 1t
Is a case Of ne quid minis.
Men not experts who have reflected
on this question longest agree with
the experts they who clamor for en-
tire abolition of the general state tax
and entire support of government by
special taxes are either beginners,
politicians who exploit a popular idea
without regard To the public interest
or agents of privileged classes who
wish to defeat any tax legislation
by darkening counsel
The conclusion OF rational theory is
approved by experience. States are
always approaching dispensation Of
the whole general tax without eyor
reaching it. New York raises almost
its whole revenue from excise and
special taxes, but fraction of a mill
remains, Minnesota has got the state
revenue levy down to mill, but can
not get il lower. The constitutional
leyies for schools and charities re-
main besides, and there is small hope
OF dispensing with these Probably
we shall always have a state tax.
This is not wholly due to increase
Of appropriations for public expendi-
tJles 1t Is due in part to distrust Of
The theory OF exclusive special taxes |
by professional experts and practical |
administrations alike? The state levy |
is steadying aud balancing inAu
eAee, a prataction against loss of rev
enue in bad times and extrayaganes
IN good times.
Excise and other special taxes can
not be adjusted to The needs of rev
onue either way without legislative
action. Ii they yield too much, profit
gaey Is encouraged Ii they yield too
little, the public needs are not salts
he'd They iuetuate enormously with
expansion ana contraction of business.
The levy for the general tax can be
adjusted TO needs every year by an
act II can be reduced
