The following real estate trans

Taxing Wealth-ln EnuIand.

The British house of commons
passed by a vote of four to one the
new income taxes under which an in.
come above $4,000 must pay 5.8 per
cent, and n above $500, 900, eight
per cent.
Thursday by varying votes of more
than two to n it passed the new
death, settlement, legacy and success
sion duties. The death duties are to
be six per cent. ON 500, 900 estates,
ten per cent. on $4,000, 900 and Is per
cent. upon all excess above that sum.
The legacy and succession duties will
range from five to ten per cent. Thus
a very large estate may pay to the
nation nearly one-quarter of it's value
in passing from one generation to the
next.
The autmobile tax was adopted
without a division by yea-and-nay
vote. 1t taxes a 60-horse-power auto
a little above 5000, besides a heavy
tax on gasoline. The law recently
passed by the New York legislature
taxes a big automobile only $40,
which does not begin to cover the
road damage it does, and releases it
from a much larger payment in taxes
upon personally.
In Great Britain, as in Germany,
they have learned to tax wealth, not
poverty.

The Sugar Tariff OUTRAGE.

One of the amazing developments Of
the tariff negotiations is the agrees
slveness of the south for particular
duties. The most determined high.
protection maneuverS have been made
by certain southern representatives
and senators.
And now comes that old, uncompro-
missing democratic paper, the New
Orleans Picayune, with a vigorous de-
mand that the duty on sugar be left
undisturbed.
OF course, the real reason-the only
reason-that the tariff is retained on
sugar is that the American sugar in
terest demands it. The sugar trust
has not made itself so ludicrous as to
plead for this tariff because it pro-
duces a large revenue. Yet the fact
that its discount to foreign consumers
is substantially the same as it's pro-
lection in the home market shows con
tariff for protection.
There is no more need for a tariff
on sugar than there is for a tariff on
tea or coffee. And a tariff on tea and
coffee would also produce enormous
revenue But there is no American
coffee trust or tea trust to demand a
tariff, so the consumers are given the
justice of free coffee and free tea.
1t is nothing short of a crime to tax
the American sugar consumers to the
extent of more than $4,000 900 a year
for revenueS-a tax that is based on
the difference in the cost of American
sugar to American consumers and the
cost of American sugar to foreign con-
sumers-when there are many ways
to secure this revenue without taxing
the pool.

An Unconscious Tribute.

When his business had yielded such
profits that he began to take life more
easily and think of retiring, Mr.. Hold
en- endeavored to throw some good
things in the way of a younger firm.
How about letting Hobbs & Rawson
have your next consignment of canned
novelties" he suggested to one of the
manufacturers. They are hard-work-
ing gentlemanly young fellows"
That's just the trouble" said the
manufacturer, with a decided shake of
his head. I'm no gentleman myself.
and l don't propose to mix up nor have
any business dealin's with gentlemen.
I'll consign my goods to you, Same
as I've always done, and you can do as
you like with 'em."-Youth's Com

MENACE TO PUBLIC MORALITY
Los Angeles Herald Points Out tho
Detrimental Effect Of Extreme
High Tariff.

In ienouncing high tariff because OF
it's baleful effects on morality, Senator
Rayner of Maryland merely made in
public a statement which has often
been made in pirate. Honest tax dec
larations of any kind are hard to OBJ
tain: therefore it Is not surprising
poor human nature should be tempted
to get the better of tariff regulations,
because many men are 81 constituted
that 1t is absolutely impossible to
persuade them of the justice of high
tariff taxation, while probably most
of the women of the United States are
free traders, totally unaware OF the
legal morality or moral legality of
any kind of taxation o. imports.
when we pay what the goods are
worth, why should We have to pay a
fine for the privilege of buying the
goods?" That is the feminine argu-
ment: and beyond that and into the
hazes of economics verJ few women
will condescend to go. In view Of
this condition (and the accuracy of
u description of it may easily be
ascertained by our readers) there is
food for thought in the blunt state
ments of Senator Rayner of Maryland:
There seems to be something
about the tariff that perverts the
human mind and aspirations and long.
ing of the soul fer truth. The situa.
ton in Washington is such that you
cannot get the truth out of anybody.
| am very fond of liars, l have studied
them by day and by night, but l never
In my life saw such an aggregation of
them as are assembled in this capitol,
and they IA lie with equal facility
upon one side or the other of the
same question"
High tariff is a menace to public
morality. It's effect on any nation in
the long run is detrimental to the best
interests of that nation. This is the
result of a spiritual law in the natural
world, and hat law is as unalterable
as were the Biblical laws of the Modes
n Persians.-Los Angeles Herald.

u~facturers.

Recently in the United States SEN
ate occurred this brief dialogue:
Senator Bailey-How far would you
go in making a tariff in the interest Of
the American manufacturer?
Senator Aidrich-To the limit.
Senate Bailey-If, in your opin-
ion. the American manufacturer would
be better off with a 300 per cent.
duty, would you favor such a rate?
Senator Aldrich-I would. And If
necessary to go beyond that figure, l
would be in favor of that"
In the light of his quoted remarks
can there be any doubt in the mind of
any reasonable human being that Mel
son Wilmarth Aldrich is absolutely
unfit to be permitted any voice in
tariff revision, much less sole reviser?
His doctrine is protection gone clean
crazy.
Every san political economist, from
Adam Smith or John Stuart Mill down
to the present school, defines pro
lection" as the difference between
the cost of production at home and
abroad, plus reasonable profits to
home manufacturers.
We developed, in this republics
economic struggle following the civil
war, from a tariff for evenue basis
to a protective" tariff basis. Now,
scarcely than 40 years later, we
are pushing 'protective' tariff aside
in favor of a traiff for the special
benefit of robber trusts.
Ii that seems a strong statement,
scan the hundreds of schedules in the
Aldrich tariff bill that go beyond the
true principle of protection" Aid
rich and his allies are probably the
least scientific of any tariff trainers
n American history. They boldly and
arrogantly attempt to to levy taxes up
on American consumers for the bene-
mt Of manufacturers who have long
since ceased to need tariff protection.
The essence of tariff protection" is
Its inherently temporary nature. Real
political economists are unanimous in
declaring that protection is some
thing to be ended as soon as possible.
1t lays burdens on home consumers
that should be removed the moment
an industry is on it's own financial feet.
AS q nations industrialism grows
prosperous, the "protective' tariff
crutches should be thrown aside in
favor of a simple tariff for revenue.
Aldrich and his h%igh-tariff allies in
the senate merely work the "protec-
ton fetish in the interest of eastern
trusts. Their policy is one of trickery
and deceit. Critics within their own
party ranks, like Dolliver of Iowa,
nave convicted them of juggling
schedules, not to increase government
revenues, but to line the pockets of
manufacturers.
Ordinary Americans are heartily
tired of being robbed under the guise
of a protective" tariff. They have
abandoned hope of relief from a SEN
ate dominated by crafty tools of the
trusts.
To President Taft, who was elected
under a distinct pledge to lower tariff
duties, the hopes of American con-
sumers turn.

Predatory Instincts.

The inherited predatory tendency OF
men to seize upon the fruits of other
peoples labor is still very strong, and
while we have nothing more to fear
from kings, we may yet have trouble
enough from commercial monopolies
and favored industries, marching to
the polls their hordes of bribed retain
ers. Well, indeed, has it been said
eternal vigilance is the price of liber-
ty. God never meant that in this fair
but treacherous world in which he has
placed us we should earn salvation
without steadfast labor.-John Fiske.

An attempt is being made at Juneau to either revive the old chamber of commerce or start new one. Douglas has had very much the same experience as has the capital city. The Douglas Chamber of Commerce was for time 8 most vigorous organization, but the members got tired and quit. Again there was sore need for the organiza- tion and it was revived, but after doing a work that was benefit to all of Southeastern Alaska it again subdued.
