We now hear that Taft objects to the
direct income tax, after having advo-
Gated 1t, and urges a 2 per cent tax on
the net earnings of corporations. In
the majority of cases this would mean
nothing, and would not reach the
holders ct corporation bonds, such as
Carnegie, the 'Vanderbilts and the
Clouds. The Vanderbilts are said to
own very little stock IN the roads built
up by their grandfather, but they
have most Of the bonds, which would
not be touched by the proposed tax.
The direct income tax would reach
those it is desired to reach. It is
claimed that it will be easy for the
big corporations to devise methods of
evading the tax. The direct indlvidu-
ais income tax would be hard to evade
and could not be shifted. Taft should
have stuck by his colors The reac-
tlonary cabinet which surrounds him
is certainly not an influence for good.

Springfield Republican: As time
passes, intelligent Span1ards are more
then ever satisfied with the result OF
the Spanish American war. Prof. Luis
Garcia Guijarro OF the university of
Madrid, writing In the Yale Review
on "Spain since 1885, declares that
the loss of the colonies was bless
ing to the Spanish nation. Then
was the beginning of SPANS regen-
eration.'' TO the cry of the colonies,
AT last independent! the Spaniards
could answer, AT last free!' as if the
loss OF the insular domains and re-
lleved them of heavy load. Prof.
Guijarro's views are very interesting,
and they must be true, judging by the
American experience in SPANS place.

Of W1nona has been appointed census
supervisor IN the First congressional
district. AS the pay Of Legislators was
changed from payment per day to a
yearly salary, and as the representa-
tive has already drawn pay for two
years. there is question whether he
can hold the Office, many holding that
it would be unconstitutional. Even
If the above contention did not hold,
the fact that the term for which he
was elected would still be unexLired,
and the constitution forbids holding of
this class of Office. Congressman
