Exposition Grounds, Norfolk, Va,
June 1.-THE jamestown exposition
management has determined TO look
upon yesterday, the occasion of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's second visit, as the
real opening. The president lost no
opportunity to voice his approval Of
the showing made since the backward
opening of the exposition on April 20.
1t was Georgia Day, and the opening
of Bulloch hall, replica of the early
home of President Roosevelt's mother.
at Roswell, Ga, erected as the Georgia
state building, was the feature that
drew the president to the exposition
for q second visit
Was a Very Busy Day.
From the time the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt and their distinguished
guests were landed at the government
pier at 1850 a. m. until their depart
ure at 4:37 p. M, every minute was
occupied. The president spoke in the
George ceremonies from the reviewing
stand and in the afternoon addressed
torial association in the exposition au-
ditorium. On both occasions he was
given an enthusiastic welcome. He
visited the Georgia building, the New
York building and the negro exhibit
and in his drives over the grounds
thousands of people lined the streets
and gave him a continuous ovation.

A Square Deal for the Railways.

The president has much TO say about
the few dishonest and lawless railway
officials who have reflected discredit
upon their much more numerous honest
and law abiding fellows. It is regret
able that while he was on this sub
tect he did not have something 10 say
about the extremely few states legis-
latures and commissions that have
treated the railways with any SEM
biance Of fairness and the many that
have bilixcd them remorselessly because
II happened TO be the popular thing TO
do. Railways and railway officials
should be required to give investors
shippers and public a square DEAL
Whatever legislation is necessary 70
compel them to do this should be en-
acted 1t does not seem unreasonable

HIS VIEWS ON TAXATION
He Declares for Taxes on Both In
Fcomes and 1nheritances.

To the editors the president spoke
of the land question and irrigation out
west, and then tackled taxation, de-
elaring for both income and inherit
ance taxes. He said among other
things:
"A graduated income tax would be
a desirable permanent feature of fed
eral taxation, and l still hope that
one may be devised which the supreme
court will declare constitutional.
In my judgment, however,
the Inheritance tax is both a far bet
ter method of taxation and far more
important for the purpose l have in
Of the country bear in proportion TO
their size a constantly increasing bur-
den of taxation.
1.-The progressive principle is pecu-
liarly adapted to limiting the size Of
Unbeatable fortunes since it
may be carried to its logical conclu-
sion in a maximum rate of 100 per
cent. for the amount in excess of a
specified sum without being confsca-
tory as to the rest of the inheritance.
| do not believe that any adj
vantage comes either to the country
as q whole or to the individuals in
heriting the money by permitting the
transmission in their entirety of such
enormous fortunes as have been ac-
cumulated In America. Such q
tax is in no way a tax on thrift and
| industry, for thrift and industry have
ceased to possess any measurable i'm
portance in the acquisition of these
swollen fortunes long before the tax
would seriously affect them"

To the ordinary wage workers family
such calamity means grim hardship.
AS the work is done for the employer,
and therefore ultimately for the pub
lie, it is a bitter injustice that it should
be the wage worker himself and his
wife and children who bear the whole
penalty.
Legislation should be had. alike
from the nation and from the states.
not only TO guard against the needless
multiplication OF these accidents, but
TO relieve the financial suffering due
to them. There should be
additional legislation to secure pecuni-
airy compensation 10 workmen suffer
ing from accidents, and when they
are killed. TO their families.
The present practice is based on
the view announced nearly seventy
years ago that principle of justice
and good sense demand that a work
man shall take upon himself all the
ordinary risks fhis occupation In
my view, principle of justice and good
sense demand the very reverse OF this
view, which experience has proved TO
be unsound and productive Of wide
spread suffering.
when the employer. the agent of
the public on his own responsibility
and for his own profit, in the bust
ness of serving the public, starts in

be transferred from employer to con
sumner, for whose benefit all industries
are carried on"
The president added that congress
should plainly enact that railway EN-
ployes are entitled to damage for &C
cidents. and make the law so that tn

wears out the plaintiff would be elm

The real features of the day were
the presidents two speeches-one to

expressing his gratitude and pride at
the action of that state in making his
maternal home their state building
he elaborated his ideas on railway
regulation and corporation regula-
ton generally-as regards the safety
of employees, and declared against

Two Kinds of Workers.

Have you ever looked in an office?
There are always two types, possibly
more, but at least two. One is the
piodder. the other the thinker. Take a
look into most any office and you will
find them. perhaps side by side.
The plodder is a faithful soul. Usu-
ally he has been at the same desk for
years He is almost a part of the
furniture. He has always done the
same thing in the same way. There
Is nothing exceptional about him. He

never loafing. never coming down late,
often staying for hours after the rest
have gone home. Work has become a
habit. The manager seldom gives this
man a thought He is a good, faithful
plodder, nothing more.
The thinker is always worrying
about tho success of the business. No
routine for him. He is constantly fig
uring out new methods and looking for
leaks tn the expense account. often he
finds them too. He saves the firm
money and the arm appreciates it.
When promotion comes. they remem-
Der him. He accepts st quietly, know
ing that il was due him, that he de-
se.yed it,, IN time they may make him
manager. and the first year he VIII cut
