Fiscal Legislation.

1t Is all nonsense and will look like
political claptrap for President Roose-
welt to recommend the Republican lead
ers in congress to enact an income tax
or an Inheritance tax unless he Is also
prepared to recommend and urge con
gress to revise the tariff by cutting off
the enormous protection the trusts now
enjoy. The present high tariff taxes
added to the internal revenue taxation
produce more money than is needed.
and to impose a new tax, however just
and fair it may be, would only pile up
a larger surplus and be a still greater
Incentive to extravagant appropria-
tons than the present surplus is. 1t
might, however, be suggested that in
stead of issuing more bonds to build
the Panama canal the proceeds of an
income tax could be used for that pur-
pose instead of piling up a national
debt for future generations to pay. But
what is the use Of offering suggestions
to stand patters whose only idea Of
craftsmanship is to "let we'll. enough
alone" by continuing to allow the
trusts to plumber the people?

been e%ffectually shelved by his political
enemies, for he wrote to Mrs. Bellamy
Storer in this pathetic strain:
II only wish you could go to Paris.
Bellamy would be a corking ambassa-
dor. But, alas, I am out of politics
now! I am as useless a fifth wheel
as has ever been constitutionally pro-
vided for in any government. With

Alleged Republican Trust Busters
Must Prove Their Sincerffy.

AAle&ca Republican trust Busters
Must Prove Their Sincerity.
"Trust busting" does not appear to
be inherent in the Republican breast.
but with pains and prodding they may
acquire it. Debate in the senate a few
days ago over the confirmation of Sec
rotary Bonaparte exposed the fact that
only a short time ago he had expressed
the belief that concentration of rtil-
roads and the formation of trusts We're
inevitable and advantageous. Senator
Culberson of Texas read extracts from
Secretary Bonaparte's speeches which
indicated an attitude of an unwilling
trust buster and declared that tae
secretary was not a proper person to
have charge of the department of jus
tice. which is supposed to be actively

Senator Knox defended Secretary
undergone a change Of heart and
would be found working as hard as
anybody to bring the trusts under the
arm of the law" The report of the
senate proceedings says. when some
senator suggested that the views of
many other Republicans on this par
ticular subject had undergone some
thing of a change there was a general
laugh" AS Senator Knox is supposed
to represent the steel trust and the
great Pennsylvania railroad combina-
ton, the question is. Who will vouch
that his heart has undergone n change
on the trust and corporation questions?
for unless he has some one who will
stand as sponsor for him his defense of
Bonaparte is hardly convincing.

Criticism of President Roosevelt on

means. For instance, %Stuyvesant Fish.
speaking on tissues, Not Men," said:
president Roosevelt seems to adhere
TO the idea that there are good trusts
and bad trusts, good corporations and
bad corporations. He seems to make
a classification based on size, object

agrees with this view and is of the
opinion that the trusts and corpora
tons must be judged by their deeds
and not by their size, and few but

him.

THE COST OF LIVING.

Grievous Condition of Clerks and
Others In Cities.
The Charity Organization society Of
New York finds so many people in that
city without adequate incomes, al
though constantly employed. that a
committee of eleven made up of such
men as Homer Folks. former tenement
house commissioner. md Professor
Franklin III. Giddings OF Columbia col
lege has been selected to investigate
1t is intended to find out just what it
costs a family OF five persons to live
OH in comfort in these times of high
trust prices. That having been ascer-
tanned, the society proposes to enter
upon the important task of %persuading
employers to pay at least a correspond
Ing minimum wage scale. 1t Will be
we'll for the Investigators to also dis
cover the cause of why this army Of
and all the great lower middle class of
the republic cannot make both ends
meet, although practicing the greatest
economy. What has caused this great
advance in prices? Where is the boast
ed prosperity produced by the Repub-
lican party when one of the greatest
charity organizations of the country
finds it necessary to aid a large class
Of the community?
Under the present protective tariff
system the committee will discover the
cost of living has not only advanced
nearly so per cent, but is still increas-
Ing. Nor are the people of the cities
the only sufferers, for all consumers
feel the same pinch of these increas-
Ing prices, although not to the same
extent, for their incomes have expand
ed somewhat to meet the new high
range of prices. The wages of organ
lied labor have been increased, though
only in the very we'll organized trades
q the advance been equal to the in
crease in prices, the average increase
of wages Of all labor being only about
20 per cent, while the increase must be
30 per cent to bring them out even.
When this committee has discovered
how much it costs an average faEaily
to live before attempting the task of
Inducing employers to pay higher
wages it should bring it's powerful in
fuence to work on the Republican
stand pat senators and representatives

and protects the trusts in advancing
the price of their products so thai

porations there is restitution for many
