An Income Tax.

Mr.. Aldrich is accredited with. and pos
sesses. good deal of finesse, but 1t was
not fnesse-not skillful parliamentary
naaneuvering-that won the contest yes
terday over the Bailey income tax amend
ment. The argument was on the side of
the Rhode Island senator.
Tariff revision promised by the re-
publican party and indorsed by the coun-
try at the polls last year did not include
an income tax. Revenue sufficient to
support the government and at the same
time afford protection to American in
dustries and labor. was collectible and
should be collected by revision of the
customs schedules of the Dingiey law.
Such was the republican proposition and
promise.
The ways and means Committee of the
House did not make an income tax part
of its bill. but revised the schedules with
out regard to that or any other form of
direct tax. Its bill as received by the
Senate was customs bill. and the finance
committee of that body fashioned its
amendments accordingly. What the Sem
ate is now considering, therefore. is bill
revising the tariff on a customs basis.
The rates have been fixed with that OBJ
ject solely in view.
We have only estimates as to how much
revenue an income tax would produce, but
the conservative figure is seventy million
dollars annually. That is large sum OF
money. and warrants the assertion of Mr..
Aldrich that adding II to the tariff bill at
this time would necessitate recasting the
measure throughout. The Rhode Island
senator and his friends are Of opinion that
tie bill will answer the ends of revenue
and protection without an income tax,
and ask that the Senate complete its
work on the measure in its present form
without regard to other forms Of raising
revenue.
This. however. does not make Mr.. Bal
leys efforts in vain. On the contrary his
two-day speech examining the income
tax both from a constitutional and an
economic standpoint remains an impor-
tant and illuminate feature OF the Senate
debate. The new tariff law without an
income tax must go on trial. If it fails as
a revenue producer something additional
ter win take up the subject. Then the
question viii likely be. shall the addi-
tionsi money be raised from incomes, in
heritances or corporations?
Undoubtedly in the fifteen years that
have elapsed since the Supreme Court de-
cided against an income tax. sentiment in
favor of the tax has grown. 1t may not
be AZ strong as Mr.. Bailey estimates it,
but II exists In both parties. and will have
to be reckoned with next winter If Uncle
Sam at that time is obliged to find more
cash for his household expenses.

Sanity on the Fourth.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil.

From the Council BUNS NonpsfeII.
The degree of sanity. or insanity. to pre-
vail on the. coming Fourth of July is a
topic for the newspapers just now.
unfortunately, there is nothing new to
be said on the subject; but perhaps Hor-
ace Greeley's prescription for success in
journalism might be employed here TO ad-
vantage. The great editor was asked
wherein lay success in journalism. Rep
etition, repetition. repetition" was the
reply. BY repeating 1t over and over
again. the newspapers may hope event
ually to impress upon the public the de-
STABILITY of sanity in celebrating the
Fourth. Indeed, such impression already
has been made to some extent The an
nual death list has been cut down since
the preaching began.

Porto Rico.

The Porto Rican question of the mo-
ment is, shall the island government
receive the money necessary to its sup
port? Such a question could not arise
with us, and why should We not answer 1t
promptly now that it has arisen in Porto
Rico? And. of course, there Is but one
answer. The money must be forthcom-
ing. and the method proposed In the en-
barrassment that exists is fair and rea-
sonable II our methods In the island
need revision and liberalizing the matter
can be brought up next winter and set
tied after full inquiry and discussion.

Measurements.

MY Uncle Jim is gettin' stout;
His visage kind o. pales,
An is o'ershadowed by doubt
When he steps on the scales
He's walked out in the open air
An waved the dumb-bells round,
And yet he has some heft to spare
That causes woe profound.
But we have found an argument
To set his grief aside.
His friends, so far from discomfort,
All point to him with pride.
For when the trustsetake profits grea'
From packages too slim
We hail the generous overweight
We find in Uncle jim!
