FOR "a FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Springfield Republic The demo-.
Gratis Of the senate ralse an issue
winch will not easily be avoided by
the other party, when they present
an lncome-tax amendment to the tariff
bill Mr.. Bailey's measure closely
follows the law of 1894 which was
overthrown by the supreme court, but
10 more radical. 1t provides q per
cent tax on incomes IN excess OF 5000,
while the democratic enactment of Is
years ago imposed 2 per cent tax on
incomes IN excess Of $4,000. Respond
ing to the unanimous judgment Of the
supreme court the Bailey bill excludes
incomes from state. county ana
municipal bonds, but it directly
challenges the bare majority Judgment
Of the court against the essential
features Of q general income tax when
imposed by the federal government
without apportlonment among the
states.
It is proper that that unfortunate
Judgment Of the court should be
challenged by the enactment of such q
measure as this which has the united
support of the democratic senators.
Not only was the court as then con-
|stltuted closely divided over the
question of constltutionalty, but the
majority turned the tribunal against
q position which had been consistently
held by 1t for 100 years. Congress,
IN re-enactlng similar law, would
be doing no more than to bring the
court, as somewhat differently con.
stituted, into reconsideratlon of the
question and under all the clrcum-
stances may not reconsideration be
fairly demanded? The court showed
little respect for itself in reversing It's
own position; and it can hardly be
maintained that less respect is shown
by an act of congress having the effect
of bringing about reconsideration of
that extraordinary decision of 1895.
The federal government needs more
revenue and it needs a more adjustable
system of taxation than now exists or
can exist through customs taxation.
1t should, moreover, place a part of
the burden of it's support on wealth
and not all, as now. on the consump-
ton or the needs of the masses of the
people. And an individual income
tax meets all these important require
ments. The only way to get 1t IN
tolerable form lies through a recon
sideration and reversal of the supreme
courts judgment of 1895 or through a
constitutional amendment. President
Tatt's party refuses to take any steps
either to end the constitution or to
bring about reconsideration. There
fore the cause passes to the other party
and is evidently to be taken up by it
aggresslvely. This is a live issue and
one to which the country as rule
will favorably respond.

While speaking on the Aldric

While speaking on the Aldrich
tariff bill Senator Culbertson said:
while there may be found q dem
ocrat who is protectionist or another
who is a free tader, yet the DEM
ocratic party believes IN neither Lro-
lection nor free trade. It stands for
a revenue tariff; that is, for tariff
that will admit imports yielding
revenue primarily as opposed to pro-
tectlve duties, whether levied on
finished products or on raw materials.
The protective tariff has un-
doubtedly contributed to the formation
of trusts and had created q favored
class, which it had assisted in building
up colossal fortunes.
With q few more sentences Of 9
similar character, the Texas senator
concluded, thus demonstrating to his
own satisfaction, if not to MI.
Aldrlch.A that the fundamental
principles OF democracy are 80 simple
that they can be outlined in very little
\time.

, The republican papers are getting
ready to blame the democrats, in the
event that the tariff bill which is
now up for consideration passes, and
does not meet the approval of the
great mass OF people, (which of course
1t will not). There are a small bunch
of democrats down in Washington that
are not right. But, the republicans
are in control of all the branches Of
the government. and Will be held
responsible for whatever is in
corporated In the new tariff bill. As
consideration OF the bill proceeds, 1t
is shown how completely the re-
publican party is controlled by the
Infant industries.

THE NEW MEMORIAL DAY


With blossom-laden hands, to-day the ma.
ton stands,
Beside the graves of those who died for
liberty.
The story is long told, our hearts can no
more hold
The bitterness of strife. the tears the
agony.
Yet the memory of these men shall perish
only when
The manhood of the land, the love of
freedom, dies.
And 10! beside their sod new fold is turned; ;
, for God
New martyrs called for freedom, mid
women's tears and cries.
BY these Just newly dead-their blood for
Cuba shed
And these who lie at peace, In the land
they died to free;

Olmsted County Democrat: The
editor of newspaper is occasionally
accused Of leaving out certain items of
news purposely. because OF a dislike
for person to be mentioned, or from
prejudice or any other cause. This
is all bosh. The editor has something
like a million different things to think
of in connection with the issue of
one paper and it IS not surprising it
he misses AL item occasionally or
sometimes forgets one that has been
called to his attention.

Long have they lain meath the grass and

Those noble sons that in battle trod.
No more the sound of the bugle call
Shall quicken their steps to duty's call.
They only wait for the trumpet sound.
When the great and good shall at last be
crowned,
And the battle and strife of yesterday
Shall be lost alike to the Blue and Gray.
We who march on this day in May,
To scatter garlands of fow'rets gay
Over the mounds of soft green sward.
Where sleep the brave in battle gored;
Know that to these We owe your land,
So scatter the buds with willing hand,
With thoughts of love while lips do pray
For the peace and rest of the Blue and
Gray.
And let the flag on each grave rest,
OF him whose struggle made it best
Those Stars and Stripes let proudly wave
Above each soldier honored. grave.
For these are they who held them high,
Caring not that they should die.
So let the Union feel to-day
Thoughts of love for the Blue and Gray.
