FRENCH INCOME TAX.
Introduction Of BnI Brings Out Inter
 eafiuu SfafEmffCa

Introduction Of Bill Brings Out Inter-
 esting Statistics.
 Paris, March 21.-The introduction of the income tax bill has resulted in the publication of many interesting statistics drawn up either by oppon- ents of the measure with the view of pointing out the difficulties to be grap- pied with by the treasury collectors in case 1t becomes a law or by supporters of the scheme who desire to extend its scope.
 Detractors call the attention of the authorities to the enormous number of small holders of the rente. about whom minute inquiries will have to be insti- tuted in order to discover whether they can be made liable for the new tax under any of the schedules. Quot ing from the official returns they show that there are 3,O39,525 investors in government rentes, who receive less than 1.500 francs interest annually sol ,254 draw less than thirty francs and no fewer than 1,593,220 less than twen- ty francs, while of the last figure 634,- 206 persons receive under sixty francs annually.
 On the other hand many legislators favor further additions so as to gather into the fiscal net at least some of those who now escape very lightly. at the same time Tightening the burdens of those little able to bear fresh calls on their purses NM Coutant is, for instance, desirous of increasing the per centage paid by single persons and re- ducing the impost on fathers of fami- lies in proportion to the number of their progeny.
 He is to propose the insertion of a clause increasing the suggested income tax by one per cent in the case of bachelors and spinsters and widows and widowers without children. There are of this class no fewer than 6,O0O, ,OOO in round figures in France, all between the ages of eighteen and fifty, count ing divorces of both sexes in the fig ure and all of them escape more or less from the indirect taxes weighing so heavily on the parents who have large families to provide for

RaiIroads Will RetaIiate.

Chicago, March 21.--A despatch to The Record-Herald from Washington says:
 In retaliation for the action of State Legislatures in providing two cent fares and agitation against them, the railroads of the west have served mo- tice on the interstate commerce com mission of an increase of freight rates on grain, coal and iron.
 This will result in a test of the con- stiutitionality of the rate law. The roads will endeavor to show that they are now unable to carry these commo- dities at a profit under the rate which has been in effect for the last two years and that an increase is neces- sary.
 Notice has been sent to the commits sion by all the trunk lines out of Chi cago that the rate on grain from Chi cago to New York will be increased on April 1. from IT 1-2 cents a hundred pounds to 19 1-2 cents.
 Che of the causes assigned by the railroads for the increase is that they find 1t difficult on account of public agitation against them to borrow mon- ey with which to make betterments and that they can get this money only at high rates. added cost of money to- gether with the increased cost of labor and material and the general increase of operating expenses leave nothing to be done but to increase freight rates

REPLIES TO JOHN D.
HARTMAN SAYS ROADS ARE NOT
 OvER-CAPTTALIZED.
Industry Captain Declares That Gov- ernment Is Already In Control Of Common. Carriers Of
 The Country,

New York, March 21.-E H. Harri- man, in an interview today in The American, replies to the statements credited to John D. Rockefeller, in which the latter declares against over capitalization of railroads and other corporations. and in favor of govern ment control oflrailroads.
 MT. Hartman was asked what he thnght of MT. Rockefeller's statement that there should be federal control of railroad and replied:
 There Is federal control now. That arm of the government to which is delegated the power for supervision of railroads is equipped with enormous re- sponsibility. There are laws enough in the statute books now, more than enough. All that is necessary is to have them judiciously and wisely ad- ministered. There is no need for sup plemental supervision"
 When MT. Hartman was asked if he thought the railroads were over-capi- talized, he replied.
 NO, you must remember this is a wonderful country. It has been made by the enthusiasm. the imagination and the speculative bent of a superbly cap able people. They have been a people that are magnificent. They saw into the future and adopted their works to the possibilities.
 There is much to be developed in this country. Towns are growing like magic and the people are toiling like the Aladdin lamp genii The roads are not over-capitalized for the country and its capabilities. Take any road. say the Pennsylvania--you have been over 1t. Did you ever notice the miles and miles of abandoned tracks? You have seen them criss-crossing every where you go. Instead of that you will now see the straight lines the wonder full ballasting. In counting your capi- talization, think of the money that has gone into the abandoned lines. bridges and terminals. They must be consid- cred a part of the constructive cost and when you take in you will find that you have not over-capitalized.
 You now take the dividend matter. There are not q great many roads in the country paying six per cent divi- dends. Look at the matter in this light:
 "A man who takes a preferred se- curity must be contented with smaller interest returns Suppose your bonds return three or three and a half per cent--your preferred stock four or Ave. Now, take your average dividend and you will find that you have not over capitalized"

the following dissertation:
"A mans life is full of crosses and

without his consent and goes out ag-

the two is exceedingly rocky. The rule
of the trip. When he is little the big
girls kiss him. when he is grown the
little girls kiss him; if he is poor he
is a bad manager, if ne is rich he is
dishonest. If he needs credit, ne can't
get it. If he is prosperous every one
wants to do him a favor If he is in
politics its for the pie, if he is out of
politics you can't find a place for him,
and he is no good for his country. If
he doesn't give to charity ne is a stin-
gy cuss, if he does it's for show. If
he is actively religious ne is a hypo-
critic, if he takes no interest in reli-
gion he is n hardened sinner. If he
gives affection he is a soft specimen,
if lie cares for no n ne is cold blood
If he die young there was a great
future before MIN, if he lives to an
old age he has missed his calling. The
