THURSDAY, DEC. 5, 1907.

Whatever doubt may have re
mained in the minds of the most
skeptical as to the sincerity of
the Presidents assurance that
he will regard the efforts of fed
eral Office-holders to promote his
presidential boom, or their per-
mitting themselves to be sent as
instructed delegates to the Re-
publican national convention, as
an official improperly, has been
most effectually removed by the
publication of the Presidents
letter on the subject, in which
he makes his meaning perfectly
clear and unmistakable. you
will notify such office-hOlders as
is necessary that their accept
ance of election as delegates for
the purpose of their advocating
such Endorsement will be con-
sidered a serious violation of Off
cial propriety and will be dealt
with accordingly" There is
nothing subtle or ambiguous in
this sentence. 1t is a plain state
ment of the Presidents wishes
in the matter, and must be taken
as such, even by those politicians
who have lost no opportunity to
impugn the motives of Mr.. Roose-
welt in almost every move or ap-
pointment to office, that he has
made.

but They Were Not His.
Nothing suited old Abe Jenkins,
or Uncle Abe, aS we BOYS called him,
better after his DAYS work than to
sit in his coy nook by the kitchen
fire and smoke his old corncob. His
wife. GA the other hand, liked ex-
cltemcnt and would take in any
thing and everything from funeral
to Il patent medicine show on the
,t"r"t corner. On one occasion,
however, the old lady succeeded in
pcrsuadjng Uncle Abe to 90 with
her to see phrcnoIogist, whose
clever advertising even interested
old Abe IL little. The old couple, ar
irving little late, were ushered up
into the front row. Much to the
amusement of the crowd and eSpe-
cially Mrs. Jenkins, Uncle Abe was
chosen as subject for. the profess
or to experiment on.
"And now," said the phrenolo-
gist, "Mr. jenkins, among many
physical discomforts, you are trou-
bled with cold feet ALSO
"Ies," yelled Uncle Abe, looking
toward the front row, ''but they are

TAXATION CHANGES
Governor Harris FaVOrS Recommend
atiOnS to Be Made by the Chic
Tax Commission.

The report Of the Tax Commission
the legislature by Governor Harris is
about completed A few days ago
Governor Harris and members of the
taxation committees Of the two houses
of the legislature met with the Tax
Commission and considered the whole
subject of taxation
Immediately following this joint
meeting it was announced that there
was a surprising unanimity of opinion
among all the conferees as to recon-
mendations for legislative action.
There is no doubt but that Cover
nor Harris now wants constitutional
amendment permitting classification
of property for taxation. 1t is said
the governo" told the Tax Commits
sion that when he appointed five law
yers to serve on that body, he did it
with the idea that they would be able
to find some way to reform the tax
laws without a constitutional amend
ment. but that he was satisfied now
the only remedy was constitutional
amendment.
It Games from the executive offices
that Governor Harris is in favor of
constitutional amendment and that he
will recommend such action to the
legislature.
The Tax Commission in its report
will recommend constitutional
amendment: an appraisal of real es-
tate oftener than once in ten years;
the abolishment Of the 20 different
state boards that appraise and equal
ize taxation returns, and the appoint
ment of one taxing commission there
fer; the passage Of a graduated in
hertance tax; the extension Of the
Nichols law to all corporations, unless
under the proposed amendment some
better plan may be found, and separa-
ton of state and local taxes.
Governor Harris is in hearty SYM
rathy with the whole program and
with the support promised him in the
legislature there is no doubt but that
his plans will go through.

Der of the Finance committee, is

The political organization plan
ned for the Philippine islands by
the civil government act of July
l, has been completed in the e.
lection, by the Philippine legis-
lature, of two commissioners to
represent the archipelago at
Washington and to sit in the low.
er house of Congress. 1t is to be
greatly hoped that a more gen.
erous and enlightened treatment
by Congress of the Filipinos will
result from the appearance of
the new delegates at the capital.
A willingness to remove the un-
necessary burden of taxation on
Philippine products and to give
to the people as free an entry
into our markets as has been CIV
en- to the people of Porto Rico
and Hawaii has already been
shown by the House of Repre-
sentatives. But for some in
scrutable reason, the Senate has
held out for a discrimination,
which can be based on neither e.
economical nor political grounds.
If it is any assistance to these
people for us to take their prod
ucts rather than the similar prod
ucts of foreign countries, it is
only justice and good policy on
our part to do so, and especially
as our industries are in no way
threatened by their industries.
Their progress should be a source
of qualification to us and so long
as we retain possession of the is
lands we should be just and
square in all our dealings with
them, politically, economically
and commercially.

The least result of the confer
ence of the Central American
states, now in session in Wash
ington, that is commensurate
with the exigencies of the stu
alton, will be a treaty of peace
between the states, and such a
treaty is necessary to prevent
the warfare to which the 18TH
mian section of the continent has
long been subject. But more
than this, the conference affords
an exceptional opportunity for
these five states to adjust their
financial, educational, sanitary
and industrial systems, which
are so widely at variance, and it
is the earnest hope of all Ameri-
cans that they will accept it to
the limit of its possibilities.

IN TAXATION

When children wish to frighten
other children, all they have to do
is to slip up behind them and say,
"Boo!"
When pubic speakers wish to ter
rorize many people, all they have to
do is to mount a platform, or issue a
circular and say, "Taxes!"
Boo! These are scare
words. What are taxes?
Taxes are the peoples contribu-
tions to the expenses of their own
government; that is, their own pro-
lection.
Who should pay the most for pro-
lection? Those who have the most
to protect.
There's your whole theory of tax.
alton.
The only reason the word Taxes"
IS so unpleasant is because expert
ence has taught most people that, in
general, the mention of taxes means
more taxes.
Secretary Taft, in a recent speech,
referred to an inheritance tax and an
income tax. He was rather guarded
in his remarks; he knew that Taxes"
and boo" had similar effects But
he did speak plainly in favor of an
Inheritance tax, and he left the inn
preston that, under certain circum.
stances, he would not object to an
income tax.
Along with other vital issues, this
tax problem is sure to become more
and more a matter Of public concern,
We may as well give it thought and
consideration now.

ing, that taxation should be proper.

1t is also apparent that it is unequal
AS a class, men of wealth do not
begin to contribute their pro rata
share to the very power that has en-.
abled them to be wealthy. And when
they die, their great fortunes are
passed on. With the help of the gov

and preserve them, they build up
businesses and operate them. And

1t is in an effort to bring about
such equality that the inheritance and
income taxes have come once more
before the people
For over IL years England has had
an Inheritance tax She boasts today
that the burden of her taxation is laid
mCst on those who benefit most by
her government. And almost at the
moment when President Roosevelt
was publicly urging an inheritance
tax, EngIand's chancellor of the ex-
chequer was telling the Commons,
'The time has arrived for an inquiry
into the practicability of a graduated

The Chief of the Bureau of
Manufactures, Maj. John M. Car
son, in his annual report, sug-
gests several ways in which the
domestic manufacturer may be
aided by the government in To-
eating customers and developing
markets abroad. The methods
proposed follow the lines of SIM
liar activities on the part of pro-
gressive foreign governments,
and are, therefore, in no sense
novel. 1t is the opinion of those
who are familiar with the oper-
ations of this comparatively new
branch of the government, that
the usefulness of the bureau may
be materially extended in pro-
noting American trade abroad,
and that within the limitations
of our form of government, much
may be accomplished that has
not been as yet, undertaken. A
mong other things, the Bureau
undertakes the collection of in
formation as to foreign tariff SyS-
TENS, and the innumerable de-
crees, decisions, and regulations
affecting the rates of duty, with
a view of keeping domestic eX-
porters fully informed of tariff
conditions abroad. But it ap-
pears that the appropriation for
this work is insufficient. The de-
mand for an efficient tariff bu-
reau is growing among progress
sive manufacturing interests,
and in view of the importance of
having a competent tariff bureau
in the government service, it is
to be hoped that the recOmmen-
dations of the Chief of the Bu-
reau of Manufactures will re-
ceive from Congress the consid-
Grafton they deserve.
