Inc Dead MANS Lay

This country has only begun 10 ap-

II and some OF the states have laws

pared with what should be got.
During the present year Mrs. Ry.

merchant of Manchester. died in
England. She left a fortune Of ST..

tate duties of ten per cent on the
first million of pounds, and / . per cent.
on all above that. There are also
legacy duties. SO, in this instance we
ind tie taxes amounting TO $3,250. 900.

The treasury winds up it's year with

Stands for Tariff Revision.

The Kansas City Times thinks that
n commission Of experts TO study the
tariff and recommend schedules is the
only proper way Of getting at the sub
ject II continues:
The United States will never have
a sound tariff law so long as these
laws are made in the old way-by con
gresional committees composed Of men
who are collectively unfamiliar with
tho subject and more or less subject to

Chicago Reeord-Herald Urgent fos
Some Form Of Currency Statute.

After the experience of last fall
congress would be guilty Of a de
plorable neglect OF duty II il shocld
adjourn without passing some remedi
al currency legislation.
The Record-Herald has no particul,r
liking for the Aldrich bill. which has
been tabled by the house committee
on banking and currency. II believes
that the La Toilette amendment which
would prevent active business men.
the directors of corporations. from
serving as directors of banks Is ab.
solutely indefensible: that IL would de
prive the banks of the best possible
service they could have. liz believes
mat good commercial paper would
constitute safe and desirable basis
FOR the issue OF notes, and that the
plan for combination of clearing
house associations i'm various dis
tricts to put out notes on this basis
Is sound
But IL protests against campaign
against any measure that wastes all
energy in destructive criticism
With the great mass of such criticism
there Is no assurance that the critics
could agree among themselves upon
any constructive legislation. and what
they are doing makes for nothing now
and forever. The people may well he
oewildered by the wrangling experts
and may well say that any practical
working measure which would provide
for an emergency circulation under
proper restrictions for the protection
10 fS
nothing. but highly preferable ut the
present time to endless debates over
a series of pet projects.
Under all the circumstances n will
certainly not do 10 insist too much
upon perfection. For most legislation
is imperfect, and the question before
us Is not one of perfection at all. even
II We could know the perfect. II Is.
Shall we have the assurance of an
emergency currency to meet the possi-
bic needs OF the month or the wear
or shall we go on and possibly come
very soon To another OF those psyche
logical crises in which credit Is de-
stroyed as IL by magic and still have
no recourse beyond what We had last
rail- Ii would seem that there could
ne no ulHerence OF opinion over the
problem, and especially now. when we
are entering on the agitations of an.
other presidential campaign. The
people who are completely absorbed
with imperfections are as irrational
as a man would be who should refuse
10 depart from a burning building by
means OF the crude devices of a rope
and bedpost and SO perish I'm the
names with a last despairing cry on
his lips for the latest improved fire
escape.
There is no objection to the appoint-
ment OF commission TO work out the
perfect plan, but, commission or no
commission, there should be new
emergency currency law before con-
Sress adjourns. If there is none the
session viii close with a browning
triumph for folly that should shame all
sensible men and patriotic citizens
