THE RAPID RYA77TZENG OF
PUBLIC I-OUGHT IN AMERICA
New Orleans Tines-Democrat.

OUtSpOken, or at least more explicit
in his discussion of death duties. He
called the attention of his hearers
TO the fact that while a republic had
first led OFF with the imposition Of
high progressive rates of duties on in
heritances, some of the great powers,
including aristOcratic and monarch
icaI governments. had adopted the
system of death duties, some of them
going far beyond the rates of the orig
inal republic. But it was another re-
public after which the President de-
sired TO copy in the enactment of a
law affecting death duties. He held
that in important features the system
OF France was superior to that Of
either Great Britain or Germany, es-
pecially in respect OF the increased
ratio as applied to swollen fortunes.
The French law contemplates the lin
itation of inheritable fortunes, all
wealth above a specified excessive
amount practically going to the gov
ernment in the form of taxes
Coming from the president, this adj
dress is something more than a talk
to a convention of editors. 1t is ad-
vice to congress, whose function it is
to pass laws embOdying these ideas.
Importance is added to the utterance
for this reason, aside from the strong
personality of the man who delivered
the address. 1t will be remembered
that when the Supreme Court de-
clared the income tax uncOnSutUtiOn-
al twelve years ago, four of the JUS
tees out of a court of nine dissent
ed in very strong opinions, some of
them using more forcibIe language
than that used by Mr.. BRYAN in his
criticism OF the decision. Mr. Justice
White of this state declared that the
decision reads into the constitution
the most fIagrantly unjust, unequal
and wrongful system of taxation
known to any civilized government"
And Nj Justice Jackson said the de-
cisiOn lis the most decisive blow ever
struck ut the constitutional power of
congress" and strikes down an i'm
pOrtant portion Of the most vital and
essential power of the government N
practically excluding any recourse to
incomes from real and personal es-
tate for the purpose of raising need
ed revenue to meet the governments
wants and necessities under any cir
CUmStancoS."
In view Of the oniniOn of these two
eminent juriSts. who were supported
in effect. if not in precise terms. by
the two other dissenting members Of
a court which voted five to four as TO
the nullity Of the act, it is to be con-
sidered neither socialistiC nor ancbar-
ical for either Mr.. BRYAN or Mr.
Roosevelt to express the hope that the
court at some future time viii re

AS the despised Chartists of Eng
land lived TO see the reforms they
advocated embodied into law, so is
! the Nebraska statesman living to see
his most important policies adopted
| by the official head of the party which
opposed him and those policies.
For some time it has been known
that President Roosevelt favored both
an income tax and death duties, but
he has not heretofore perhaps spoken
so plainly on the subject as he did
! before the National Editorial AsSOcia-
ton at the jamestown Exposition on
Monday As to the income tax, he
declared he spoke with diffidence, but
he was clear enough in expressing
his views, and his views are those
for which Mr. Bryan was so bitterly
denounced ten years ago. No single
incident in our recent history prob
ably shows so clearly the progressive
tendency of the country as this atti-
tude Of the president. For saying
that the decision of the Supreme
Court was conclusive as to the cases
before it when it rendered the de-
ciSiOn. but that the decision might be
reversed by the same tribunal at a
subsequent date. Mr.. Bryan was
called a socialist, and even the ugly
term anarchist was hurled at him by
his enemies Now the president of
the United States, who has the ap-
pointment of justices of the court, eX-
presses the same view. In his judg-
ment, he declared, both an income
tax and an inheritance tax should be
part of our system of Federal taxa
tiOn, and he added: A graduated in
come tax of the proper type would be
desirable permanent feature of Fed
eral taxation, and | still hope that one
may be devised which the Supreme
Court will declare constitutional"
1t is not remembered that Mr.. Bry-
an went any further than that in his
earnest and eloquent advocacy OF the
tax intended TO place the burden of
government equitably on those best
able to sustain it and the class which
in many respects derives the most
benefit from government. Public
sentiment has changed radically with
in the past ten years. When Mr-
Bryan was denounced as an anarchist
for this and similar utterances, the
railroads and the trusts were in the
saddle and riding rOughshOd over the
masses of the people. Predatory
wealth possessed almost feUdal power,
and the man who had the audacity to
attack its rapaCity and its inquitieS
was generally denounced as dema-
gogue, Socialist and anarchist. Now
these powers are on the defensive,
and are quite content to be let alone
| by the government, whereas they
we're then assuming the very powers
of government.
President Roosevelt was even more

The Work is Easy;
Let's Do It Quickly.

Its up to you" says fate to each
man when he leaves his boyhoOd, and,
with mans privileges, assumes,
whether he will or no, mans respon-
sibility to himself and to the world.
The principle holds true in its ap-
pications to communities as well as
to individuals. It's up to Pensacola
whether she progress rapidly, slowly,
or not at all.
When one reflects that an acre at
Long Beach, Miss, will yield a profit
of nearly a thousand dollars per an
mum when planted with a suitable
crop and intelligently titled, and then
reflects that the government survey
has demonstrated that this county has
the best type of sandy ioam of its par
tncJ1lar class, no man with Intelligence
can believe that, as a city and county,
we need be other than progressive,
steadily increasing in wealth and such
happiness as it brings.
But the bay won't do it, the sand
won't do it, the sun won't do il, and

SOME GOOD SENSE
ABOUT GOOD ROADS.
Tampa Times.
) = = ~%~~ . o ~%%%%% Z

Florida needs good roads. and it is
hoped that by the assembling of the
next legislature two things will Oc-
cur One is the discovery of a ma
teriaI that Will make good roads, or
a process OF preparation that will cure
the defects in everything so far
found. The other is the construction
of a measure that will meet and euro
all the imperfecuOns in those already
considered. 1t must involve only a
moderate cost, its fulflIment for all
portions of the state must be assured
and in sight. The people most di-
rectIy benefited by the highways
must pay for them.
1t need hardly be said that the
formation of d commission in every
county, with powers, is utterly Objec-
tiOnable. There should be one com
mission and one head to that COM
mission. The funds of the state and
the minor municipalities must be
carefully guarded The cost of the
roads must be within the means of
the people The state of New York,
where an abundance of excellent ma
terial is at hand in all section, esti-
mates the cost of good TOadways at
IS, 900 a mile. The population per
New York mile of road is ten times
as great as in the most thichIy set
tied portions of Florida. The wealth
per mile is twenty times as large.
All these things must be duly weigh
ed before the state is committed 70
the construction of a thoroughly dis
tributed system of roads. The amount
Of travel and traffic must be consid-
cred.
1t is quite prOba bic there are not
five localities in Florida of any consid-
cradle area where the travel and
traffic would justify the paying out
of eight thousand dollars a mile for
even the very best roads. II might
therefore be well enough to dismiss
for the present the idea of the state
embarting upon this enterprise, al
lowing these restricted localities TO
make for themselves such roads as
are justified BY the need of them and
the use that can be made of them.
Later these localities might be con
nected together. if deemed wise. But
the bottom fact is that a general
system Of roadways is not so much
needed as number Of centers to
which good roads from the surround
ing region may converge. Travel and
traff1c over common highways are
purely local, and not two per cent,
has any necessary need for interurbsn
communication. II might have grand
trunk lines between points far dis
tant from each other.
