IMPERIALISM IN AMERICA

Since we have become a world
power as described by President
r. evelt, the characteristics Of i'm
perialism have been appearing in
our own country
| will recite some Of them: 1t
magnifies the executive power: it acts
upon the passions of the people; con-
ciliates them in classes ana localities
by lavish expenditure; it occupies
mems minds with display and amuse
ments: il inspires a thirst for Mill
tary glory; it captures the electorate
by false assertions and illusory prom
ises and then, having by these means
obtained control. it brushes orrai i
ton and extinguishes liberty.
the irony of the thing is this: Th1t
all this is done in the name Of the
people themselves and under the au-
thority of their voice, SO that the PEG
pie, while bosating OF their -uDremc
power. are enslaved. If the usuTpa-
tons. as | have described pass un-
challenged by the people Of America
they will soon create the force OF
precedent Now is the time, and we
are the people to watch with jealousy
such beginnings. to Indignantly at
tack them and if possible. destroy
them Wiser words were never
spoken than those of President Cleve-
land: 1T is not the business of {
government to support its people, bu
Of the people to support the govern
ment.' The people must fight thei
own battles for better conditions.
Every time they call upon thai
great central dietv. the President
TO fight an evil, they surrender thei
God-given right to grow strong b,
fighting it themselves.
BY and by if recent tendencie
continue they will surrender all thei
duties and all their rights. SO dearl

CONGRESS 4 COSTLY LUXURY

Congress is a costly lnxary." With
ont debating the question as to wheth-
CT a nuisance can be a luxury, we
quote from our Oakland contempor-
airy:
The appropriations by the pres
ent congress viii. before the end Of
the week, reach the immense total
of s1.026 600. 600. This is said to be
the largest amount ever appropriated
at a single session. The people of
this country do not object to liberal
appropriations, provided they have
something to show for their money
bur the present congress has made a
pretty poor showing in the matter
Of service rendered. When matters
of great moment We're before the
country, when vital issues We're pend
ing. this congress has pursued edo
nothing" policy and has FILTERED
away almost an entire session with
out accomplishing any substantial re-
suits for the relief Of the country.
In other words. the members Of con-
gress have been pursuing 4 temporiz-
ing policy and doing politics instead
of legislating for the people.'

NECESSITY OF A TAX
AMENDMENT TO THE
CONSTITUTION
BY M. II. Carver, Member Tax
Commission Of Louisiana.
The constitution Of 1898 declares as

The constitution of 1898 declares as
principle that taxation shall
be equal and uniform"
Il further provides, as a method OF
carrying out the principle. that "all
property shall be taxed in proportion
to its value" This is what is known
as the general property tax system.
Provisions substantially the same
were contained in the constitutions
Of 1864. 1868 and 1870.
If the system were good one, that
would not justify embedding 1t in the
constitution.
But IT is not good one. II may
have worked fairly well when first
adopted. Conditions we're primitive
and agricultural property was owned
chiefly by individuals, and consisted
mainly Of immovables and few sim
pie forms of personality, like animals
and merchandise, which were tangi.

Property now, belongs largely to cor
porations. It consists to a great ex-
tent OF things that can be concealed
or removed easily, like moneys.
stocks, bonds, mortgages and other
credits.
Under the changed conditions the
system has broken completely down.
It's practical workings prove IL sub.
| iect to the following fatal defects:
First. Instead Of promoting equal.
ity and uniformity according to it's
promise It produces gross inequality
| and utter lack of uniformity of three
| kinds
(a) AS between the different par.
| ishes.
Cb) AS between different kinds o.
| property.
(c) As between different owners
OF the same kind n property.
Second Il places a premium on
evasion of the law by trickery, often
accompanied with perjury, thus de
bauching the public morals and breed
ing contempt for all law.
Third. 1t drives Away capital, in
c.eascs interest and hinders indus
t.ial development.

A NEEDED ORGANIZATION.

Tho business men Of Ohio maintain
~ Organization known as the Ohio

otter functions this organization
Keeps n watchful eye upon the legis

II Is becoming more and more evi
d9at that the best state in the Union
is gciHg to be that state which shows
tie greatest care in the enactment of
its laws, and thereafter shows the
greatest efficiency in their enforce

has therefore taken upon itself the
duty Of watching legislation, with the
result thar laws of far-reaching i'm.
portance to the common good of the
state have been passed, and that laws
detrimental TO its peace and prosper.
ity have been defeated.
There are two specially strong and
admirable features in this organiza-
ton.
First.-Tt Is not dominated by any
special class or interest. Every meas.
ure II has initiated or that It has en-
dorsed is clearly a measure designed
to promote the common good of all
the people. Every measure 1t has op.
posed is clearly a class measure or
one the enactment of which would
have resulted in injury to all the peo
pie.
Second The association has been
particularly fortunate in its methods
OF seeking to influence legislation. It's
methods have been wholly educHtion'
al. 1t has sought to give correct in
formation TO the people regarding
pending bills, and to secure intelli-
gent opposition to bad measures and
intelligent support for good measures
One of the. doctrines Of this associa'
tion is that at Is the function of its
members TO perform their individual
duty of good citizenship whenever
called upon to use their influence with
their representatives in the general
assembly" The organization seeks
TO make this influence effective, and
as Mr.. Allen r. Foote, the guiding
spirit of the organization, aptly says
when each member of this board
properly performs his individual duty
in this respect a lobby at Columbus
will not be required" The success
of this organization has proven both
that II is needed aud is practical, A
similar organization in Illinois would
be of vast advantage in securing
sound legislation and in thwartine
measures which are detrimental tC
the common good.-HeraldTr Transcript
