THE TARIFF.

There has been great deal OF
talk launched on the tariff question
lately both by members of congress
and private citizens. AS rule
the talker knows but little about the
subject he Is discussing.
The average congressman is talk
ing for reputation among his con-
stituents. There seem to be few
tariff experts among the senator's
who know the ground they are tread
Ing on and who are determined that
this country shall have protective
tariff law that will keep us in the
same lines of property we have
enjoyed under the present Dingley
law.
We do not pretend to know much
about the practical workings of the
tariff but we do know that the great
fundamental principle of tho good
old protective laws, the protection
of the American laborer and manu-
facturer against the cheap labor of
the old world.
With all the data and statistics
possessed by congress it should not
be much trouble to determine jus
how much protection certain arti
Gle needs to place it on an equality
with or give 1t slight advantage
over the foreign made article.
If all eur congressman were hon
est and actuated only by the patrio =
tic desire to de the most good to the
greatest mum mber IN this tariff patch
lag aud we're not biased by personal
prejudice or clients whose interest
they serve rather than that of the
general public, the revision of the
tariff, would be but simple matter
and short job.
Itis surely time now to bring this
discussion to a close The busines:
interests of the country have stood
the suspense long eRough and 1t i:
high time the matter was settled
The government must have expense
m oney aud a tariff tax seems the
best way to raise large porto n o.
it The tariff should be sufficient
/ for that purpose and should be sc
laid as to equslize the cost oi
foreign importations made by cheap
labor with the higher cost of labor
Of this country. Ii the tariff is toe
| high On any commodity it stops the
i'm portation and cuts down the
revenxc and builds a monopoly IN
this country. If too low it enable:
foreign goods to come in at price
with which our manufacturers can
not compete without cutting on the
price of labor.
There should be no great buga.
boo over the tariff question mol
should it be party question.
If all men could act from fail
honest desires and not from selfish
or mercenary motives the tariff
would not be party issue and
could soon be adjusted. We hope
to see a bill formulated and agreed
to very soon. 1t is better that some
mistakes be made and left for future
correction than that this discussion
continue much longer.

THE INCOME TAX.

President Taft's plan to impose
per cent tax upon the net income
above S. ooe of every corporation,
joint stock company and association
organized for profit and having
capital stock represented by shares,
is likely to have a stormy time be-
fore becoming a law and a still
stormier one afterwards. A storm
Of protests has greeted the intro
duction of the measure in the SEN
ate, coming from business men all
over the country. These protests
are two fold IN character, one
ground being the lnquisitorial ma
ture of the proposed law, in that 1t
involves the public exposure OF
business secrets which are perfectly
legitimate and proper, enabling
commercial rivals to take advantage
of the information thus gained. The
authors of the plan claim that this
danger is obvlated by the manner
in which the bill is drawn, but it is
obvious that no human ingenuity
can prevent thedisciosure of know
ledge gained by agents of the gov
ernment if they are minded to give
1t out. The second and more po
tent objection is based on the un'
fairness of the plan in that it dis
crlminates against corporations,
Joint stock companies, ETC., and In
favor of CO partnerships which may
be engaged in the same business
with them.
This objection has been voiced
by over 5000 business men of
Chicago as well as many others IN
various cities. If this feature is
what they claim it to be, it partakes
of the nature of class legislation
and will hardly stand the test Of
the courts. Of course, on the sur,
face it would seem that a bill drawn
by the aggregation of talent that is
included in President Tafrs cabi-
net ought to be test proof, but ex-
perience shows countless instances
of Just such failures and there Is
no guarantee of infallibility to be
found in such combinations Of legal
skill. President Taft's legal ad-
visers have already made comical
blunder in stating that the income
tux act was still unrepealed and on
the statute books, whereas in fact
it expired by limitation in 1920.
Perhaps they have left leophole in
the present measure big enough to
drive a wagon through. In that
event they will have saved the
business interests of the country
from a most oppressive and unjust
inquisition into their private affairs

PRODUCED
BY THE ABORNS TO
CROWDED HOUSE
Miss Eleanor Kent Sings Role
of Marguerite and Makes
Favorable Impression.

If evidence were needed that the peo-
pie never tire of Gounod's great opera,
Faust" 1t could be found last night
at the Newark Theatre, when the
Aborn Grand Opera Company appeared
in a c%reditable performance of the
work. The house was crowded and
the APPLAUSE was enthusiastic, but not
indiscriminative. For a popular-priced
offering the listeners could not justly
have demanded a much better produc-
ton. The opera was given with com
mendable smoothness throughout with
out the long waits that have marked
some of the previous operas.
The cast of principals was good, on
the whole. Miss Eleanor Kent, a new
soprano engaged for this opera only
sang the role of Marguerite in place
of Miss Aileen Hodgson, whose retire
ment was not explained. Luigi Gill,
the Italian tenor of the company. 90
had been heard in "Trayiata," Efl
Trovatore' and Martha" appeared as
Faust. singing in his native tongue.
George Shields, the main-stay basso OF
the Aborns, sang the difficult part of
Mep%histopheles. Miss Jessie Bradbury
did the male role of Seibel; Homer
Lind, the dramatic baritone of the
company, was Valentine, and the two
minor parts of Martha and Wagner
were taken by Miss Vera Roberts and
James Murray, respectively.
Miss Kent presented Marguerite In
the conventional style, but made it in
teresting throughout. Voca1ly, she dis
closed a good, strong soprano, particu-
larly smooth in the middle register, but
lacking somewhat In crystalline quail
ity in the top notes. She sang effective
ly. however, in such arias as the sim
pie king of Thule the florid "JeweI
Song and the beautiful prayer. An
gels Pure, Angels radiant" The love
duet with Faust in the garden scene
was also well done.
Mr.. Shields, despite an apparent
frog in the throat which developed
in the middle of the opera, made q
good Mephisto, presenting somewhat
of a staggering devil" and droppine
perhaps a bit too much into the comic
in the scene with Martha. Mr.. CHI:
Faust was perhaps the best thing he
has done. Mr.. Homer made Valentine
death the most effectively dramatic
moment in the opera, and h hearty
applause was a personal tribute. He
did the aria Even Bravest Hearts,
very well
Miss Bradbury made a good-appear
ing Seibel. but, vocally, did not reacl
up to the standard of the others.
Scenically. the opera was satisfac
tory, and the chorus we~ll-trained.
