It shows that the Spaniards lost heavily. colonel and five other officers were killed and colonel and twelve other officers wounded. The report, says 2e0 soldiers were wounded. but the num- Der of soldiers killed Is withheld on the ground that fthe reports are incom- plete.
 The people that surround the bulle- tine boards are clamoring for the names of the dead.
 A later note issued by the general stan says that the Spanish losses may be heavier owing to the confusion in getting the disembarked reinforeements to the front.
 Adyices received from Melilla say the Spanish forces continue to hold the railroad line and that the retire. ment of the Spanish troops yesterday afternoon was due to General Marina's desire not to hold the troops in the advanced positions during the night.

MIR. TAFT AND THE TARIFF
Its Main Declaration Approved by {
 Tariff Reform Paper

From the Philadelphia Record
 AS there was reason to anticipate, the most important feature of President Taft's inaugural address is it's emphatic declaration in favor of a speedy and thorough revision of the tariff. This is the first declaration made from the president g office in seven years that the tariff is in need of the reformatory hand of the legislature. The pith of the pres ident's declaration on the subject is contained in the sentence that the sub ject to be now made twill permit the reduction of rates in certain schedules, aud will require the advancement of few, if any, The protectionists and reactionaries who have imagined that MT. Taft's utterances in behalf of tar if reform were intended merely to sug- gest the exigencies of a political cam paign, and that he would yield to their claims concerning the depression in bus mess, get no comfort from this declar- ation.
 An avowed champion of free trade SOuiN uO Auot0 JoloclJ duuOuIlCe tHt true doctrine on the subject than in this sentence of the inaugural address:
 Tn the making of tariff bill the prime motive is taxation, and the security thereby of revenue. With this thread of Ariadne as guide through the maze of tariff schedules, the work of revision presents no great difficulty. Saving the omission of a little adverb "only, '' the president approaches very nearly the sound democratic principles of Ca tariff for revenue. No democratic or republican friend of tariff reform can find much to criticise in the president s discussion of the fiscal aspects of this question.
 The president somewhat vaguely re. fers to higher tor maximum tariff against those countries whose trade pol icy toward us equitabiy requires such discrimination. When this subject comes to be discussed in the extra ses. sion of congress it will be seen clearly how little is in the device of a maximum and minimum tariff. There is no dis elimination by other countries against the trade of the United States. With Germany and France the complaint is that the tariff of this country discrimi- mates against them.

THE INCOME TAX IN FRANCE

The clamor raised by large property holders and investors in France over the passage of an income tax bill by the chamber of deputies will not halt the Clemenceau Ministry. It has staked it's life on the adoption of the measure, and the election of enough Radical sup porters of the government in January to insure a majority in the senate seems to have removed its last obstacle.
 The proposed tax, which is equitably graded, according to the size and ser vice of incomes, is not as high as that in force in Great Britain. There the tax, after allowing the fixed exemption, on earned incomes is 394 per cent. and on rncarned incomes per cent; the French rates vary from 1-5 of l per cent. on incomes of S1,000 to per cent, on incomes over S2o,ooo.
 The Clemenceau Ministry has two fold end in view in introducing the British income tax system into France to raise more revenue and to establish a simpler and more uniform method of taxation. For several years the annual deficits have steadily been growing larg- CT, although not to the same extent as in Germany, and new projects are under consideration, such as old-age pensions, call for heavy expenditures in new di- rectlons, By way of compensation vex. ations taxes, like the door and window tax, commercial licenses, and stamp taxes on transfers, are to be abolished or reduced.
 Instead of being revolutionary, as French capitalists are protesting, long experience in Great Britain has proved that it is so just in theory and 50 work able in practice that no shancellor of the ExcheQuer would dream of attack ing the income tax on tho plan that it is socia,istic. It offers the great advan-
