THE ENGLISH BUDGET.

Have you read about the English bud
get? There is excitment in England
please believethat. The English gen.
tleman with the red face and the big
bank account has a redder face than
ever. He is very near the bursting
point. Every man with big fortune
that he didn't earn and big income
that he squanders comfortably is full
of rage, riot and denuuciation, says the
San Francisco Examiner
They had to raise some extra money
in England this year-about eighty
million dollars, the Government being
short of funds-and what do you sup
pose they did? They actually decided
to take this money from rich people in
stead OF taking it from the poor. Aud
the echo of the horror has flown across
the ocean and reached our own Tory
newspapers.
In England, at last, Government
popular aud radical, and sane and de
cent, has determined to make those pay
that Can afford to pay.
For instance, they are going to put
tax on motor cars, graduated according
to horsepower. That is bad enough,
to tax the harmless little pleasures of
the gentleman with the big automobile
But they are not going to put that
tax on the taxicab with which man
earns his living. What do you think of
that for anarchy?
And they are going to tax the gaso
line used in automobiles, cents gal
Ion. But men who use this gasoline in
the effort to earn living will get re-
bate, aud those that burn up The gaso-
lene simply for finn will pay the full
tax. Tie total amount OF this tax will
be spent making roads good.
And then the income tax. You know
they have that in England. They feel
that if a man has comfortable income
eve'y year, and the Government pro
tectss Dim, he ought to be willing to pay
something to the Government just as
he would pay the fire insurance COM
pany that protects his property. They
not only tax incomes in England, but,
if you actually earn your income, and
therefore do something in the country,
they lower your tax. Aud all sun
earned incomes" incomes that man
gets without doing anything, pay an
extra tax. There is anarchy for you.
And there is far worse to tell you
They actually take children into con-
sheraton. If man hasn't got more
than $500 per year, they take off 9l0|
for every child under 16 years of age.
In other words, this anarchistic budget
plainly says that the man who is rails
ing children renders a public service,
deserves the thanks of the State, aud
shall not be taxed as much as the man
who has no children.
They tax big inherited fortunes over
there-they expect t. get from death
duties alone more than 100000 a
year. And they tax heartily and gen.
erously stock exchange transactions
more anarchy for you.
We do things differently in America,
don't we? No income tax here.-Citi-
zen.

the CIVIL WAR.

alike, one wonders why the civil
war was fought. Only of late years,
since the bitterness on each side
has died down to a large extent,
are the American people coming to
realize that the great contest was
not only needless, but without def
mite results. Had Lincoln lived,
the question at the base of the war
might have been settled forever,
but he died and today the question
is as much matter of dispute as
it was during those years of stress
before Sumpter.
Why was the civil war fought?
The most common answer is: "To
free the negro" But that is NOT
correct. The south offered to free
all her slaves during the war if
England would recognize her as a
separate nation. And England
would have done SO if it had not
been for Ruseia. To aid the con-
federacy and get cotton for her own
silent rooms, England did not
want to fight the northern bear.
Slavery was legal in the United
States till six months after Lee laid
down his sword. The emancipation
proclamation did not free the ne.
gro, but simply proclaimed the
blackman contraband of war,
like the mule or keg of powder.
In fact, that celebrated paper which
so few have read, instead Of freeing
the slave, as is popularity supposed.
really recognized the fact that he
was slave, chattel, contra
band of war" How free man
could be contraband of war no
one can explain; but a slave can he,
and by that act the north virtually
became the owner of all the blacks
belonging to seeding southerners,
but recognized the property rights
in human flesh Of the loyal slave
holders.
The civil war was fought over the
question of state rights. In plain
words, whether the Union was
partnership Of states from which
one or more could withdraw at will,
or whether the Union was that of
nation, combination that could
not be broken.
The question is with us yet.
Every discussion of whether the
federal government or the state
government is supreme on any
matter whatsoever, as in the recent
japanese school troubles in San
Francisco, is simply the ghost Of
the civil war rising from a million
graves.
The question was the only one
not settled when this nation was
formed. Hamilton strove to make
the federal power supreme, Jeffer-
son fought in debate to have each
state stand by itself, yet in alliance
with the others. The argument
was long and bitter. 1t seemed
impossible to settle, so it was left
open. When this was done Hamil-
ton predicted the civil war, and
his prophecy came true. Students
Of history say that the great ques-
ton must yet be settled with blood,
not on so extensive scale perhaps,
but with the national forces once
again arrayed in battle against
those of one or more states.
Cotton was an article raised south
of certain natural line of soil and
climate, hence the division came
along this line. The negro was
only a dramatic incident. The
labor trouble in Chicago a few
years ago was case almost paral-
lei with the civil war, only small
Ter scale. ANY dispute concerning

known in the United States; but it
may, and probably will, take a war
with some equal foreign foe to de-
eide forever whether the state or
the nation rules concerning all
things, even within the borders of
the protesting state, as in Califor-
MIA with the Japanese, or in Idaho
concerning conservation of of ma
tional resources
The nation rules. not the state
-or else these men died in vain

FRIDAY. JUNE A. 1909.
National Extravagan Where
VIII II End7

For the last two years, the ten
dency of the leaders in national
affairs has been to expend a large
amount of the country's money
in very reckless manner, in or
der to keep pace with European
countries in the grand parade of
display of power. Meanwhile
the entire country is aware of the
fact that the national income is
not adequate to meet such ex-
penditure. In the face of all this
the majority Of the representa-
tives and senators in congress
do not hesitate to pass laws en-
failing enormous expenditures of
the public funds, and vote excess
sive appropriations, increase of
salaries of officials and extra al
lowances for travelling expenses,
all contrary to the spirit of the
constitution OF the United States
and the principles upon which
this republic was founded.
This unwarranted system OF
extravaganza would not be per-
mitted in the management of
any corporation orprivate prop
erty, and if pursued by them or
by any individual would soon
end in bankruptcy.
Take, for instance, the banker,
merchant or farmer, and let them
pursue a policy of expanding
more than their income and they
soon go to the bad. Why can
not a nation follow business
methods in conducting it's affairs?
OF what material benefit is it for
the nation to expend millions in
the construction of an enormous
feet of useless battleships that
in a few years will be obsolete
and perfectly worthless in war
fare? Talk aboutneeding navy
to protect our coasts! For a
year our entire country was I'M
protected while our navy was
making its display parade in cir
COMMUNICATING the globe. What
better opportunity would the
European powers want than was
then presented while the feet was
showing off in the Orient, to have
invaded the Atlantic coast and
have taken possession of a large
part of our territory, and have
been strongly intrenched in pos
session before our fleet could get
back to protect the country.
The argument for the necessity
of maintaining an enormous
standing army and large navy
for tine preservation of peace,
could as well apply to the indi-
vidual in going around armed to
the teeth, with belted sword and a
pistol in every pocket, to prevent
any one from having any trouble
with his neighbors. Weall know
that when the law is strictly en-
forced against carrying concealed
weapons, that there is less VIC
lence and murders committed,
and the result is that more peace
and quietude prevails. The same
would apply in International af-
fairs.
