IA Mr.. Sager, Mr.. Holt acted as secre
Jaw pro tenn. Mr.. Tams introduced a
.asoution calling for the appointment of
committee to consult counsel, looking
toerard the suit compelling the improve

that the appointment of the committee
did not necessarily carry with it law
anti except upon the final advice of the

ma rks favoring the resolution and ex-

Messrs. Holt and Stulpfnagle presented

FRENCH INCOME.

Notwithstanding a deluge of the usu-
al negative arguments the passage Of
the income tax bill in the French par
lament is accepted as q matter Of
course. The fact that the income tax
has been in operation in Great Britain
for half a century with no present sug-
gestion of its repeal despite obvious de-
fects makes hard work for the op-
ponents of the act, particularly since
the French measure aims to avoid the
weaknesses of the British law The
French statesmen must count on one
thing, that may affect them seriously,
in case they pass the bill. In France
the danger from swollen fortunes is
not an important argument for the i'm
come tax, for the reason that the
wealth of that country is more equally
diffused than in any other important
nation. In 1902 of 1921 ,000, 900 bequeathed
by deceased citizens less than half of
| per cent of the estates We're valued
at over 1000. Ten million French
families will contribute to the income
tax, and cheerfully, no doubt, since a
tax paid on income in hand is generally
less offensive than a tax on property
levied regardless of whether ii is earn
ing an income or not. But money paid
directly makes deeper impression
than money paid indirectly, and gov
ernment expenses are likely to be scru-
tinized more carefully by people who
pay their taxes with open eye than
by people who pay indirectly by a
tax on consumption. War ships and
public pork will come harder when a
large portion of the national income is
derived directly from individual in
comes

1t is claimed by those who believe
in properly safeguarding the mails
while in transit that these rates are
at least high enough to entitle the
government to every safeguard the
ingenuity of man can devise for the
protection of the mails. The steel
postal car is regarded as the only
proper protection Of the mail in tran
sit. The combustibility Of the mail,
coupled with the fact that the mail
car is nearly always run next to the
engine, makes it easy pray for the
flames in case of wrecks.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that there are some postal
cars in the service which have been
running more than a quarter Of a
century. In that time, after deduct
ing the cost of maintenance, the gov
ernment has paid over 100000 rental
for the car whose first cost was only

Postal cars, however, are often
wrecked A local postal clerk says:
"The death rate among postal clerks

it was with the soldiers during the
Spanish American war Postal clerks,
however, face the danger without a
great deal of worry. They figure that
someone must be killed, and that when
the time comes there is no getting
away from it.
The clerks face the danger a little
more willingly since the congressional
promise of an increase in salaries,
although they would have been better
pleased had the postal clerks increase
been in proportion to the increase
congressman granted themselves"

Although the government pays the
railroads enough rental for the aver
age railway mail car to pay for the
car outright in less than two years. as
is shown by the findings of the last
postal commission. yet there are many
of these cars which are veritible death
traps. According to figures cited by

DOING BUSINESS.

j. G. Phelps Stokes, the rich, and in
telligent young social reformer, said
about business, at a ST Patricks din
ner Of a past season:
"The more / see of business. the
more come to agree with the old
Japanese idea of it-namely, that it is
too much Of game Of cheating, that
it is pursuit in which brave, honor
able, generous persons-people like the
Irish, for instance-cafnot hope TO sue
ceed.
That, at least, is how modern busi-
ness, as 1t is exemplified in Wall
street, strikes me.
You know the story of the two,
Wall street men.
Business is business began the
first.

The idea of a peoples lobby seems
to have been adopted as regular ad-
junct to the city government of San
Francisco. The idea as 1t has been out
lined by leading citizens is to form an
advisory committee which will have
representative in each of the city Of
fees and attend all meetings Of the
supervisors. These representatives will
make a full and impartial report OF
every item Of business transacted. All
accounts will be inspected and all
suspicious circumstances on the part of
city officials will be investigated and
reported. This is work that could be
done by the newspapers OF San Fran
cisco if they had not thrown away their
influence with the voters by becoming
partisan or personal or mercenary or
gans. AS they have proven ineffective
in guarding the interests Of the public,
this general committee seems a neces-
sary adjunct to the city government.
SO long as the committee retains the
confidence and respect of the voters it
will be- power for good. probably Il
sufficient force to change the munich
pa1ity from a paradise OF grafters to
model of good government.

The New York newspaper men who
rushed reporters and artists and ''spe-
