IS sENlroR BAILEY aaCfRE1
eplnlon Divided, Says Our Core spend
ent-Teyas Senator's vile Temper.


Washington, D c, May 31:-The
Senate by a vote of fifty to thirty
two has postponed further consider
alton of the Bailey income tax
amendment until June 10, while
Senator Aldrlch has given notice
that if the time is not then oppor-
tune he will move further post
ponement. Opinion is divided as to
the wisdom of Mr. Bailey's course in
pressing his amendment at this time.
The Republican advocates of an In
come tax, headed by Senator Cum
mings of Iowa, are unequivocally
opposed to forcing test vote at this
time, being convinced that to do so
would bring out showing against
the income tax proposition wholly
disproportionate to the opposition to
that tax per Sc. They realized the
force of the argument put forth by
Senator Aldrich and his associates,
that it was distinctly irregular to in
terrupt the consideration of the tariff
schedules to vote on an excise tax.
Mr. Bailey on the other hand main
tanned that if a vote on his amend
meut were postponed until all the
other schedules had been adjusted
the rates of duty would all have been
placed so high that The revenue to be
produced by an income tax would
seem superfuous, and that, there
fore, its rejection would be insured
by postponement. The result of the
vote demonstrated the correctness Of
Mr. Cummings contention. By fore
ing a vote on the question at so in
opportune a time Mr. Bailey alienated
practically all his Republican sup
port. 1t is a reasonable assumption
that when the final vote is taken q
portion of this will come back to
him, but the moral effect Of the re-
lection of his motion for immediate
consideration by 80 Overwhelming a
vote as fifty to thirty-two cannot, it
is feared, be entirely overcome.
No unprejudiced discussion of Mr.
Bailey's course can entirely ignore
the strong conviction in certain
Quarters that the Texas Senator was
not wholly sincere in his support of
his own amendment. This view is
strongly entertained by Senator
Cummings and other equally stanch
supporters of an income tax. Mr.
Bailey, of course, denounces the sug-
gestion with his usual venemence.
The declaration that Mr. Bailey was
insincere, supported by reference to
other instances where he has appar-
emily played into the hands OF MIR
Aldrlch and the Republican organ
ization, which appeared in Demo-
cratic metropolitan daily, led Mr.
Bailey into fistlc encounter with a
representative of that newspaper.
The affair was stopped before it be-
came serious except in it's effect upon
the standing of the Texas statesman,
whose prestige in the Senate has
been so seriously injured by such
demonstrations of mis- inability to
control his temper 1t was Mr. Bal
ley's attack upon Senator Beverldge,
whom he attempted to choke as Mr.
Beveridge sat in his chair on the
floor of the Senate just seven years
ago, it will be recalled, which led to
the rejection of Senator Bailey as
Democratic leader and procured
that honor for his colleague, Mr.

Is There No Limit TO Federal
Taxation and Extravaganza?

In 1915, Robert J. Walker was Secretary of
the Treasury of the United States AS such,
he submitted to Congress an official report on
the national finances. This statement shows
that for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1916,
the income of the Government was not quite
thirty million dollars, and the outgo less than
that sum, by few thousands
The entire amount that the foreigner paid
at the custom house for the privilege of sell
ing his goods IN this country, was not quite
twenty -elght million dollars. Calculating
that the American manufacturers got five dol
lars out of the consumers of the country "a
low estimate) where the Government got one
dollar from the foreigner, we have the sum of
S168,OOO,0O0 as the total of tariff tribute paid
by the people In 1915
At this writing Congress is wrangling over
tariff bill which proposes to tax us for three
hundred million dollars; and when we allow
for the fact that the American manufacturers
will plug us for five dollars every time the
Government hits us for one you will see that
our tribute to the blessed Protective System
will be raised to at least eighteen hundred
million dollars per year.
In 1915, the population of the United States
was about tWenty-fOur millions. Today, it is
supposed to be 900OO,OOO. Look back at the
figures and you will be startled to notice that
your national taxes have been keyed up from
less than dollar and a half per head, to more
than ten dollars per head for the regular an
nual expenditures of the Federal Government
have reached the billion dollar mark.
1t has been little more than two generations
since our expenses were only $29,OOO,OOO per
year, and today we expend five times that
much on the ndvy alone.
Congress is the confiscatory agency through
which the producers of wealth are deprived
of their surplus. AS Senator Bacon of Geor-
gla said, IN the course of a speech in the Sen
ate, during the extra session:
I'm the former day of arbitrary rule some centuries
ago, Che men in authority then undsguisedIv despoed
che people of their property and gave it to few IA
vorltes In this day the protective system through the
Ghnly yelled forms of law, does the same thing In
that day, and at still later period one of the most
odious forms of oppression, through which the people
were plundered in granting to few favorites mo-
1opoes IN the necessares of lfe thus giving those
favortes the opportunity and the power to wiring from
She people the payment of eXoronae prices for those
things without which they could not exist. In our
Boosted free government with much vauned equal
ity of right, protective tariff law in greater or
less degree practically places within the power of
possible, the monopolstic control of all the things
uired for the business the comfort and the susten-
of the people, thus enabling them to exact and
collect extortonate prices for those necessary articles
That is the case in a nutshell. Senator Ba-
con proceeded to show that the loot divided
among the governmental favorites is $2OOO0O,-
GOO yearly, and asked, "Who pays this enor-

pie, pay it.
With the expenses of the Government
climbing upward all the time, and with the
tribute levied by the pets growing more stu
pendous at every change OF the tariff law,
what sort of future are we preparing Tor our
children?
Already, they have promised the Unsuitable
national bankers another bait OF bonds. Al
ready, it is practically conceded that nobody
can expect the Panama Canal to cost less than
a billion dollars. Already they are squander-
ing as much money in the Philippines as the
whole Government expended in the time of
your grandfather.
Where is it to end? Unless y0u the men OF
the rank and file, rouse yourselves, inform
yourselves, emancl pate yourselves, our repub-
lie is doomed.
Arouse yourselves, from what? From your
guilty, disgraceful Indifference to your civic
duties
Inform yourselves, of what? Of your pub
lie business and the doings of the men who
pretend to represent you.
Emancipate yourselves, from what? From
your absurd and calamitous servility to party
names and partisan pre- udice.
AS long as you give less attention to the
law making than to any other matter, the
laws will continue to be what the rival inter
ests want them to be. So long as you leave
your legislative agent unmatched, said agent
will go the way of all other unmatched agents.
So long as you sanction the slips, the failures,
the frauds, the wrong doing Of political
party because of it's name, so long will you be
mistreated by that party

Kind Words for the Socialists

Some of our correspondents were indignant
because of the editorial which dealt with the
Appeal to Reasons attack on the white fire
men. In fact, few of the letters written
the JEFFERsoNIAN about that editorial are so
wrathy and vituperative that they might have
emanated from zealots Of foreign missions.
Now, let us keep cool and discuss Socialism
as we would the nebular hypothesis. To lose
our tempers and fling fouts around, is not the
best way to get at the truth of any matter.
G) Man is a home-loving animal, and
while polygamous by nature clings to monog-
amy as one of the restraints necessary to good
morals, mental progress, Christian civiliza-
ton He is likewise a born egotist, self
willed, self-assertive, self-centered, selfish to
the very core,-and with an instinct for lib
erty Of action that is so elemental, eternal, in
destructible that every normal man hates a
boss.
Isn't all of that true? Don't you know that
it is?
itself to Socialism?
The land and all instrumentalities of pro-
ductlon are to be owned in common. What
would be left to private, individual owner
ship?
Practically nothing. What becomes of the
hOme-lovlng man? He is a tenant-at-will,
moving about from house to house, under
some plan of allotment, but he never owns his
home.
And there is where Socialist apostles de-
celve the farmers of Texas Oklahoma and
other agricultural states. These home-loving
people are taught that Socialism allows man
to own home
That is utterly untrue. The very gist of the
doctrine is the collective ownership of land
and the machinery of production
on can see at once that if Socialism allow
ed each citizen to own, by individual title,
home OF his own, society would be compelled
to adopt the same system of land titles that
we now have To permit the citizen to own
his home, carries with it the right to decide
for himself where that home shall be, and
how much land he needs for dwelling, ward,
lot, pasture and field.
A1ay sort Of in1divide1oz proprietorstip IN the
earth, IS at deadly ecar qoith the theory of So
c50zlSmo.
Socialist agitators who are honest, and who
understand their 0a01o system, q0iW tell you So
~ Again, Socialism destroys individual
initiative, individual choice of work, individ-
ual selection of place of abode, individual en-
Joyment of the fruits of toll Under Social
ism, some one else would say where you must
labor, what kind of employment you shall
take. There would necessarily be Boards of
Direction and Control, and everybody would
nave w OOoy UuoH GU m1SnC WANT TO plOW
the corn, but the Board could send you to dig
a ditch or clean a sewer. You might feel
called to the literary life, but the Board could
order you to the mine, or MILL or shop.
Under Socialism, certain work would be as
signed to certain laborers. The individual
would have no say-so about it. His prefer
ence would count for nothing

such a system at war with human nature? A

camp of Laurence into the hmeiight
has been made on the property OF l.. Nj.
Harwood, by J. E. Griffith, a leaser who
struck it at grassroots within three days
after he secured his lease. The camp
is a short distance from Helena, AMI
there is now quite a little stir as a re-

The ~leasers have sunk about fifteen feet
and are sacking the entire vein. As
