A TAX ON CORPORATIONS.

In a special message to Congress,
President Taft recommends an amend
ment to the tariff bill providing a tax
Of two per cent on the net earnings Of
corporations. He also recommends an
income tax amendment to the Constitli-
ton, which is to be so framed as to re-
lieve it of any adverse decision by the
Supreme Court.
A tax on incomes is the only fair and
equitable system of providing the means
necessary for the maintenance Of the
government, ut such desired legisla-
ton may be delayed several years be-
fore its ratification is secured by the
States.
A tax on corporations may become
effective speedily, provided it may be
enacted into the necessary statute. 1t
would seem that the same influence
which is operating in favor of the spe-
cial privileges and interests can defeat
the tax on corporations.
The corporations which have been
fattening on the protection afforded
them by the tariff may be sufficiently
strong to defeat President Tafts' re-
commentator. The issue as drawn
may result in lively contention be-
tween the President and Congress.

ENTHUSIASTIC CONFEDERATE
VETERANS.

1t has been stated by those who at
tended the Reunion Of Confederate Vet
erans in Memphis that the enthusiasm
displayed by the Old Cornfeds" was
greater than ever manifested at such
gatherings. The excess of emotion was
reached when the Confederate Veterans
greeted with hearty cheers General Fred
Grant, the son of Gen. u. S. Grant, who
stood in the reviewing stand in full uni
form, with officers Of the Confederate
organization.
In this demonstration there was evi-
denced in peace, the enthusiasm of the
Confederates in war, when they charged
and captured batteries and Notifications,
and swept from the field in disaster the
Federals by whom they were out num-
bered.
In this ovation rendered Gen. Fred
Grant may be interpreted the good fe1
lowshinp entertained by brave and
chivalric men. During the progress OF
the war Fred Grant, then boy, was
with his father in the active field.
This, as other incidents recorded, was
unexpected, and it is therefore the more
gratifying since it came spontaneously.
It can not be- charged that the "Old
Cornfedss expect to derive any benft
from this greeting of the son of his
father, who was the military leader on
the Federal side.
With rare exceptions the Confederate
Soldiers are pursuing the even tenor of
their way, harboring no i'll will or i'll
feeling against the men they met and
fought and vanquished on many CORY
and glorious fields Of battle.
1t is in such manifestations that the
politicians and time servers who would
keep alive the passions of hate and
bloody strife are silenced into confusion.

UPLIFT OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY

From New York is given the infor-
nation that Alton B. Parker, Martin
w. Littleton, Edward NJ. Grant, Ed
ward M. Shepard, Eugen A. Philbin, S
StanWood Merken, all Of that city, and
several upstate Democrats, have COM
bined to elevate the National Demo
cratic party.
This is not the first time that such
intelligence has been conveyed from
this same authority.
The party of Jefferson and of jack
son needs no uplift, but purging OF
many of its so-called leaders, who
liveried in the raiment of Democracy
are fully aligned with the Republicans
in Strengthening and in perpetuating the
power of the trusts and the combines
through which the masses are op-
pressed
1t is about time that the rank and file
should become self-assertive by insist
ing on the fulflln1ent of the Democratic
pledges to the people.
The Democrat in Congress who can
not consistently stand for the protection
of the masses against the special inter
ests of the few should resign and come
home. If the men in Congress, elected
by Democratic votes, would be true te
their allegiance there would be no need
of any effort to uplifht the party.
The Democratic party is all right bui
it has with all its cherished principles
fallen into the hands of the Philistines
From the experience of the past il
may be well to beware of New York
and its political scflemers.
