The Rule Saved Him.

Marcus Aurelius Smith, Arizona's
delegate to congress, is the presi-
dent of hunting club in North
Carolina known as the Smithsonian.
The Arizona statesman owns a
hunting box in the Tar Heel State
and goes there every two or three
weeks for recreation. The club has
but two rules, which are that every
member must do just what he wants
and shall not do what he does not
like or want to do. Recently mem
Der was held to have violated one OF
these rules. and the club was TAX
ing measures to expel him, The
accused promptly invoked that rule
which declares that no member shall
be required to do anything he does
not like or does not want to do.
Delegate Smith sat as the court of
final appeal. lie held that the plea
was sufficient and that the accused
member was saved because he stood
on his rights as prescribed by the
rule stated, He did not want to be
expelled, and therefore he could
not be.

After the delegation of New
York labor men called on the
President and talked over the Id
aho situation, they left with
pleased surprise, announcing that
all he wanted in the trial was
"absolute Justice. 1t appar-
emily takes little to please and
less to surprise a New York lab
or leader. This was all the Presi-
dent had ever been anxious about
and he assured his callers that if
there was an apparent miscar-
riage of justice in either direc-
ton, he would bring the matter
to the attention of the Attorney
General and see if the federal
government could do anything to
right the matter. All anyone
wants in the case of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone, charged
with the murder of Gov. Steun-
enberg, is absolute justice.
But there is a serious question
among the government officials
who are watching the case from
Washington, whether this can be
secured in Idaho. The Western
Federation of Miners is not made
up exclusively of thugs and ruff
fans, but there are many hard
undesirable citizens even among
the leaders of the organization
who would stop at nothing to
turn the trial their way. The
mine owners are perhaps a little
more disposed to fairness in their
methods, but scarcely more scru-
pulous. There is every prospect
of violence before the trial is ov-
err and it may be that the gov
ernment after all will have to
step in and see fair play.

be a large part of the White Mans
Burden lifted off the shoulders
of this government.

The government is looking for
from 500 to 1000 hardy, indus
trious farmers to accept farms
on a rather novel plan for little
or nothing. There are strong eff
forts being made by the govern
ment now to settle up the irri-
gable west. The call for volun-
teer farmers is part of this cam
paign. There is about rs, 900 a.
cres of land, good farming land,
much of it already under ditch
and more being put there on the
Uintah Indian Reservation. This
is the reservation from which a
war party of Utes recently broke
away and went on a spree thro'
Wyoming and South Dakota. The
Indians do not want the land and
will not farm it, so the govern
ment is willing to rent it out to
American farmers at 25 cents per
acre per year with the privilege
of buying it in fee simple when
the Indians to whom it has been
allotted die off. The land is at a
fine altitude, 5000 feet with a
fertile soil and even climate. All
temperate zone crops do well
there and there is an excellent
market for everything that can
can be raised at good prices. 1t
offers a rather exceptional Oppor-
tunity for farmers who want to
start their boys off in a fine To-
cality at little expense. Details
of the plans for apportioning the
farms can be had on application
from the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs at Washington.

FEDERAL and STATE TAXES

Life Education"

investigations TO discover how best
to finance movements to improve the
condition of our farmers, our city
workers, and our home-makers have
led to the discovery OF fact worthy
of most serious consideration. In its
early days, the country being small
and jeopardized by external foes, the
general government reserved the right
to levy indirect taxes, as on imports,
on alcohol and on tobacco. The states
and lesser political divisions, on the
other hand, raise their revenues by
more direct taxation, as on personal
property, on incomes OF corporations
and of individuals, and on inherit
ances.
1t so happens that since the federal
government and the state were al
lowed these sources Of income vast
economic changes have taken place,
placing the federal government great
ly at an advantage as compared with
all the states combined in securing
taxes. With the enormous develop
ment of manufactured products and
the increased power of the people to
purchase them, and with the greatly
cheapened transportation resulting
from the circulation of vastly greater
quantities of commodities, the rev.
enues obtained by the federal govern
ment have enormously increased. The
states, on the other hand, find it i'm
practicable to secure such large
amounts OF public revenue from the
more direct forms of taxation. This is
clearly illustrated by the fact that
the federal government thus secures
to $500 100000. This is $40 per
capita, or nearly $50 per family. The
states, on the other hand, annually
bring into their state treasures only
| So to So per capita, or about $200,OO0,-
600. 1t should be observed that rev
enues derived by cities, counties,
townships, and other political bodies
make the state and local taxes PIE
sumably somewhat larger than the
| federal revenue The fact that the
| state legislator is often chosen under
pledge to keep down state expenses,
| while the federal legislator Is expect
| ed to secure all he can get for his
state from federal appropriations, has
not a little to do with the relatively
larger growth of the federal budget

Review Of Progress Being Made In
other States.
The commission of California was
created in 1905, charged with a thor
ough investigation of the whole prob
lem of taxation. It's report is a com
prehensiye discussion of the questions
that are now confronting most Of our
states, but its recommendations are
moderate. The tax on personal prop
erty is unqualifledly condemned as in
volVing glaring inequalities between
different classes of property, between
county and county, between city and
CITY,, between city and county, be-
tween man and man. The attempts to
"equalize" the tax by state boards
only serve to intensity the injustices
and inequality. Moreover, the tax is
veritable school for perjury"
This language has become familiar.
II has been used by a dozen commits
sions in as many states.
The California commission favors
complete separation of state from To-
cal taxation. 1t would give counties
and cities The exclusive right 70 tax
real and personal property, or real
property alone, and reserve for the
state corporations and franchise taxes.
Minor suggestions are added, and all
are ably defended
A tax commission was named by
the Massachusetts legislature TO con-
slider reforms Immediately practicable
rather than profound and fundamental
changes in the system of taxation The
legislature believes that It is desr-
able to make improvements in the
present system which shall prove
stepping stones to more radical
changes.
The report recommends a number
of new taxes and of notifications that
are calculated to render the state and
the counties more Independent of each
other in taxation. Home rule is recog-
nized as the ideal to work for, and
independence is to be made complete

concentrations are these: The taxation
Of billboards; the extension of the in
heritance tax to direct SUGGESTIONS;
the imposition of franchise tax on
express companies; graded tax on
automobiles; a tax on stock transfers
similar to that which has proved so
successful in New York and, finally,
the retention by the state of all fran
chise taxes on railroad, telegraph and
| telephone companies.
The commission estimates that the
state will gain over $3,OOO.OOO annually
| from these new sources of revenue,
and such gain will enable it to abolish
the direct tax on real and personal
property, except for local purposes

News has been received at the
State department of the breaking
off of diplomatic relations be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala
with mingled emotions. Of
course a war anywhere is offici-
ally regretted, and especially in
the case of a war on this CONT
nent, the government stands
ready to offer good offices and
any other sort of first aid to the
injured that is available. But in
the trouble between Mexico and
Guatemala, Mexico seems to have
all the best of the argument in
point of equity and she is coming
to the front as power in the
affairs of the western hemis-
phere, so that it is possible this
government will watch her dis
ciplining her small southern
neighbor with more or less salts
faction. Mexico has developed
rapidly and we'll in the last dec
ade. There is an immense a.
mount of American capital in
vested in the country and she
has very largely lived down her
former reputation for political
brain-storms. Her development
can be watched by this country
with satisfaction and without en-.
Wy, and if she proves her ability
and willingness to spank some OF
the turbulent little republics near
her when they need it, there will

A melancholy fact is that in New
York, relatively to the size of the
population, fewer people own homes
than in any other city of the world.
There dwell on the island of Man

of whom hold title to the houses
they occupy. Ninety-four out Of ev-
cry hundred families pay rent. One
result of these circumstances, as

is that the population of the Ameri-
can metropolis shifts in a more
kaleidoscope fashion than any 9th
