some to the individual. 1t is ex-
pected to get more than is surrender
ed, but it is essential to remember
that this new tax takes the place of
many others in a complete revision of
the revenue system. 1t is proposed to
reduce the taxation of farm property

peasantry and the cultivators gener-
ally, and to repeal certain taxes on

fall more lightly on the farmers and
laborers and more heavily upon the

A novelty in the assessment of this
income tax is that the inquisitorial

THE WHITE HOUSE AS A HOME.

The newspapers are announcing
that Mrs. Taft is to make the White
House a home. Only those may APP
preciate the difficulty of this under
taking who know how the air of state
as a nation grows among
world powers. Uniformed attendants
and stately ceremony seem inevitable
to rooms charged as heavily with the
atmosphere of diplomacy as with that
of hospitality. J
Nevertheless. the currents have
been changed in the White House and
may be again. A return might be
welcome of such spirit as prevailed
at the Dolly Madison functions, where
Everybody felt at home" Etiquette
had its strict rules under the Dolly
regime, but the republican court was
then without the formality which had
been its portions in earlier admins
trations.
President Pierce liked to have old
New Hampshire friends Gust drop
in" at the White House. President
Tyler knew also the virtues of occa-
sional unofficial moments at the fire.
side.
When the Grants came in they en-
tertained widely, but it was said of
them that they made the White Iouse
more homelike than it had ever been
before. Mrs. Harrison's housewifeIv
complaint will be remembered, per
haps. concerning the hardships of a
family which, accustomed to having
twelve bedrooms, found itself reduc-
ed to five. To this complaint is at
tributed the initial impulse toward
the Executive Office building and
other White House expansions which
may render feasible Mrs. Tafts plans
for the separation of domesticity
from Presidential business.
