The income tax should make distinc-
ton between incomes earned and in
comes not earned-between a salary or
the profits of a factory or store on the
one hand and, on the other, the income
of a man who lives in idleness on in.
vested money. A man who builds up a
business in the success of which others
share, who works every day rs hard as
his humblest employe, who contributes
his energy to the general industrial pros
perity of the country, is in different
class from a man who has inherited his
money, who receives his income in the
shape of dividends and interest, and
whose life is spent in slothful ease az the
beet, in the selfish pursuit of pleasure at
the worst. Both these men, when their
incomes are very great should be taxed {;
but they should be taxed at very differ
ent rates. And business man should
not be taxed on his profits till they reach
at least $500, 900; while an idle man liv.
ing on investments might fairly be tax
ed when he has s., 900 a year. Mark

SOMEWHAT EMBARRASSING.

Two women were put in rather Elm.
barrsing position recently by the green
ness of bellboy at one of the leading
hotels of this city. They applied at the
Office for room and were put under the
guiding wing of this boy, who was serv-
ing his first day, the clerk giving him
explicit directions as to just which rooms
to show the ladies' The bellboy took
them to the second floor and with his
pass key opened what he thought was
ope of the rooms mentioned by the clerk.
One of the ladies, a very busting indi-
vidual, pushed past and was almost in
stantly in the middle of the room. The
other was just entering the door when
protesting voice was heard, and looking
at the bed, whence the sound seemed to
come, they beheld a man trying to en-
tirely conceal himself beneath bed.
clothes which were entirely insufficient
for man of his modesty. They hurried
out and the bellboy took them down the
hall and around the corner, opening an
ther door. Again the bustling lady was
instantly in the middle of the room, and
again there was protesting voice.
Looking in the direction Of the bed they
beheld the same man again trying to
conceal himself beneath the two scanty
covers. A second apology and nasty
exit followed. The room had doors in
two halls and they had rounded the
corner, only to open the door in the
other hall The ladies decided they
would not look at any more rooms in
that hotel and beat hasty retreat in
search of other and quieter quarters.

THE BIRTH-RATE.

Not long ago the Census Bureau is.
sued bulletin containg list OF the
heads of the families in the United
States at the time of the taking of the
first census. in 1890. Another bulletin,
which in like manner links the present
with the past makes some interesting
comparisons between that first census
and the one taken in 1900
Most interesting and notable, of
course, are the figures and comparisons
which mark the growth of the country.
At the time Of the first census, only six
cities reported population of eight
thousand or over. To-day there are
two hundred and eigdty six cities and
towns in the same area which have that
same number or more.
But the increase in the number OF cit
les and Interpolation dwelling within
them may be regarded as not wholly dis
connected with another important mat
ter which is described in the bulletin
the birth rate then and now. la 1890
the average family included five and
eight.tenths persons. In 1900 the num-
Der had dropped to four and six.tenths.
Families Of five or six members made
up more than one half the total popula-
ton in the period Of the first census.
At present they represent but one.
fourth
The conclusion is inevitable that
Americans are not so prOlitic now as they
were one hundred and ten years ago.
The change is not remarkable, and
would have been true of any other peo'
pie similarly situated. Newly settled
countries are always fruitful of children,
NJ of other crops; but crow,iing into cit
lea and the increase Of competition in
the struggle for u living, together with
the growth of luxury, are forerunners
OF declining birthrate.
There il, however, another matter
which should be considered. At the
time of the first census there was no
immigration to America, and compare
lively few immigrants. That great por-
ton of the present population which has
come here unmarried to make homes for
women who will come over later has
an effect in the apparent lowering of
birth rate which must not be neglected
if the reckoning is to be accurate.

The charges of Senators Doll'ver' Mel
son and Others that the Aldrich Payne
bill is a revision upwards rather than
downwards appears TO be justified by an
analysis of the measure in its present
form.
There are decreases, it is true, by the
senate finance committee, but not many
of them are in the interest of the con-
sumner Some of the decreases made by
the senate committee in favor OF the
consumer were nothing more than a
towering of the high rates OF the Payne
bill to the level of the presant Dingley
law, so that so far as these particular
schedules are concerned revision means
nothing for the consuming public.
