THE TARIFF
QUESTION

clarei for an income tax as a part
OF the revenue system. and for p
constitutional amendment as n
means OF securing this tax. Secre-
tary Taft announces In his notif-
cation speech that he is i'm favor
OF an income tax whenever the rev.
enues are so low as to require Il
and expresses his belief that IL is
possible to secure such a tax with
out constitutional amendment. IL
II is possible 10 frame n law which
wtl avoid the objections raised TO
the income tax law OF 1894. we'll
and good, but that is uncertain.
If an income tax is desirable. surely
Secretary Taft cannot consistently
oppose the adoption OF a constitu-
uonal amendment. If the principle
is right and the tax is wise. congress
ought to have authority to levy and
collect such a tax. and no supporter
of Secretary Taft can oppose our
position without dissenting from
the Republican candidate
The whole aim of our party is to
secure justice in taxation. We be-
heve that each individual should
contribute 20 the support of the
government in proportion to the
benefits which he receives under the
protection of the government. We
believe that a revenue tar!T ap-
preached gradually, according to
the plan laid down in our platform,
Will equalize the burdens OF taxa
ton. and that the addition of an in
come tax will make still more equi-
table. If the Republican party is
to have the support OF those who
find a pecuniary profit in the exer-
else OF the taxing power, as a pri-
vate asset in their business. we
ought to have the support of that
large majority OF the people who
produce the nations wealth in time
of peace, protect the nations flag
in time OF war, and asw for moth
ing from the government but even
handed justice.

BRlTAlN'S NAVAL STRENGTH.
Government Announces It's Intention
to Maintain Present Two-Power
Standard.

London March s. - The Radical
members of the house of commons
who are agltating for a broad meas.
ure of disarmament received scant
support from the. cabinet in the house
when they introduced a resolution in
viting the government to take action
in support of their views.
Herbert II. Asquith, chancellor Of
the exchequer, was the spokesman for
the government He maintained that
II Great Britain was 10 retain COM
mand Of the sea this position must be
safeguarded against all contingency.
The government believed it to be its
duty to maintain the present two-pow.
er standard in the matter OF naval
strength
Abiding to numerous references re-
garding the naval activity OF Ger.
many, Mr.. Asquith recalled that the
government did not witness with ap
prehension a naval expansion which
corresponded to the economic and ad.
vancing needs of that country. He
added that there was the best reason
to hope that the two peoples were ad.
vancing nearer and nearer to com.
pete mutual understanding. Mr.. AS
uuith insisted that the naval policy
of Great Britain was purely defensive.

WI Ting Fang, for the second time
appointed Chinese minister to the
United States, arrived at San Fran

Minister WI denied the report that
he was the bearer of an appeal to
Washington asking this country to

China in Manchuria and protesting
against the alleged aggrandizement
Of Japan in that province. He added:
"The relations between Japan and
China are cordial. There may be
some friction but it is local. That
may occur in any country. So far as
my knowledge goes, Japan has not
violated the Portsmouth treaty with
reference to the open door policy in
Manchuria"

A sensation was caused in court
In Pittsburg in the Hartje trial

said:

which attracted my attention because
of the headlines, 'Hooe's lies read to

be decided by the jury is whether the
deposition is true or false. It is
disgrace to civilization, and If any.
thing like that appears again In any

asIlent ElrearmD Invented.

Hiram Percy Maxim, son of Sir
Hiram Maxim, who invented the ma
chine gun which bears his name, has
been granted patent in this country
for "silent frearm." BY the device
of the younger inventor, now formally
announced as fully perfected. the dis
charge of a rife OF revolver is rem
dered practically noiseless.
The escape of the gases following
discharge of the explosive is shut off
just as the bullet emerges from the
muzzle. This result is obtained by
means of piston valve sliding across
the bore of the barrel Immediately
after the bullet passes. This valve is
controlled entirely by the pressure of
the gases themselves and is not oper-
ated by any intricate mechanical de-
vice.
Preventing the gases from escaping
suddenly and provoking consequent
loud report, the valve allows them to
issue gradually through series of
small holes, thus obviating all noise
except slight kissing sound. The
valve then resumes an open position
and safety device prevents the fir
ing of another cartridge unless the
valve is in its proper place.
Military experts apprised of the new
invention assert that it holds the
power to force revolution of modern
methods of warfare.

No Money to Rebuild Navy.

The project for rebuilding the Rus
sian fleet has received a setback as
result of the attitude of the ministry
of finance, which sees no possibility,
under the present circumstances, of
the country raising the funds needed
for the construction of a great and
powerful navy. The naval estimates
submitted amounted to $1,000, 100000
for ten years construction. Minister.
of Finance Kokovosoff said that this
extended program could not be con-
sidered now. The minister of finance
believes that the sums assigned annual
ly for new construction will continue
at about $15,5O0,n0O for several years.
