 The opponents of the income tax declare that 1t would foster and en- courage fraud and perjury. Not more So than our tariff and internal revenue laws.
 The chatter that somes from the opponents of this tax to the cffect that an income tax law should not be en- acted because It's evasion would beset the commission of crime is just as ap- piicable for the abolition of all our penal statutes, and especially those that relate to the punishment Of on- ences that are mala prohibita.
 An income tax is not tax wrung from property without reference to its earning capacity, nor does 1t pry Into the private methods of acquiring wealth, but rebating in proportion to the falling off of the tax payers annual revenue, its practical working exact an equal sacrifice for governmental support from all alike effected by It's provisions.
 While the expenses of the national government are largely caused by the protection of property it is but right to call on the income derived from property to contribute to It's payment for bv no means does the consump ton of the rich bear the same relation to the consumption of the poor.
 As wealth accumulates and mono polies and trusts are given out to the eager and greedy almoners. who infest the Hobbies of Congress, more lavfshly than the Queen of Sheba ever dared to do, this injustice in the funa- mental basis of our system Is being felt and forced upon our law makers. notwithstanding the hue and cry of the tax dodgers.

Taxation has ever been an indis- pensable feature. in all we'll organized governments.
 Indeed, 1t has been the sinews and iife-blood of every political existence. Without 1t laws cannot. be enforced. protection secured. peace established. or property insured Then how im- -portant is the subject of taxation to every citizen of the land.
 During the past century. and more particularly the past generation. ths science of finance has occupied itself as never before in search for the rules of justice and equality in taxation.
 The wisdom of the century has long ago declared. by its most eloquent bBtatesman and able economists. that Is'equal and exact Justice." which Jeff xerson laid down as one of the cardinal principles of government, should ob- tain in taxation as in all other matters of government.
 Indeed, justice and equality are the golden and silver threads that run all Through the warp and wool of our gov- ernmental fabric and civil Institutions Equality, not of conditions in life. znot of faculties and natural endow- ments. but equality of rights. is the lfoundation stone of this great and jeymmetricaily beautiful govefnpental @tructure of ours.
 | But as . corollary to this doctrine bf equality of right, is the unsssai- hole doctrine of a fair, ratable and proportionate contribution by each Ecitixen to the costs of administering Hhe affairs of the government.
 1 This duty of the state to protect. life. kfberty and property is itself condit- hcned upon c fair. ratable ana propor- kionate contribution by each citizen to k6e eovernment from which he expects kiEotection. ,l This doctrine of fair. ratabie and hDroportionate contribution by each cit- Exen to the costs of administering the hkYairs of the government does not ob- [tain to the extent that It should m our nresent system of taxation. As a con- kequence American taxation is far xsom satisfactory.

 For more than a quarter of a cen- tury, America. in the amplitude of her expanding wealth. has presented to the world of finance the unique and al- most solitary example of a nation de- irving hundreds of millions of dollars annually from ''unseen". yet greatly felt, taxes levied under our tariff and internal revenue laws.
 By our present system. the national government is supported wholly from taxation upon consumption which falls
 most heavily upon the toifing and breadwinning masses who are least able to bear the burden.
 Senator Sherman said in a speach In the United States Senate: "A few years of further experience will con- vince the whole body of our people that a system of national taxes which rests the whole burden of taxation on consumption and not one cent on prop erty and income Is intrinsically un- just"
 The whole--body of our people are yearly becoming more and more con yinced that the most urgent need of our fiscal system is the presence of some elastic element for making an adequate provision against the inevit- able fluctuations in the receipts from our tariff and internal revenue laws. So long as customs and excise duties continue to be our only reliance, the unwholesome experience and financial depressions. of recent years must DC expected
 However superabundant and highly expansive our tariff and interbnal reve- nue iaws in seasons of business pros perity they as readily become defic- lent and inadequate under influence of unfavorabie changes of trade, and es- pecially during times of peril.
 Hence, 1t may be clearly seen that what is needed to round out our sys- tenn of taxation. by supplying this elastic element. is a federal income tax which would tap the fund from which the income of the government must all ultimately be derived more nearly at its source, thus diminishing

TRUSTS CAN'T COLLECT DEBTS
Supreme Court Holds That They
Have No Legal Standing.

Washington.-The case of the Cont
mental Wall Paper Company vs.. Lewis
Weight & Sons, of Cincinnati, was Mon.
day decided by the Supreme Court of the
United States in Voight's favor. The
suit was brought by the company on a
debt of $4,000, the payment of which
vas resisted on the ground that the pa
per company is a trust. In effect the de-
cision holds that an admitted trust or
gained contrary to the Sherman anti.
trust law cannot use the court to col.
lect debts.
Justice Harlan's opinion dealt in de-
tail with various phases of the case. 1t
was based OF the third defense of Voight
that the company is part of a trust. He
started out with the proposition that the
Continental Company is within the pro-
visions of the Sherman act, which, he
said, is clear from the facts set forth in
its defense. He then went on to show
that this corporation is a representative
of a combination which would have the
effect not only of restraining but monop-
olizing the sale and manufacture of pa.

NINE GRADES FOR COTTON
Grades Based on Good Ordinary, With
Middling Fair Highest.

Washington.-The session of the adj
visory committee on cotton standardiza-
ton selected by Secretary Wilson under
authority of a resolution of Congress in
troduced by Representative Albert Bur-
Lesson, of Texas, assigned by three expert
classifiers, was held Monday at the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Two resolutions were adopted at the
meeting, one establishing nine standard
grades and the other leaving to future
settlement of the question whether these
nine grades shall correspond to the COM
mercial grades now recognized.
The nine grades agreed upon are basel
upon good ordinary, with middling fair
as the highest, and are as follows: Good
ordinary strict, good ordinary; low mid
ding, strict low middling, middIing,
strict middling, good middling, strict
good middling, and middling fair. The
three experts will take nine samples of

and grade from that up to middling fair.
This grading will then be adopted by the
committee.

Is HARAHAN TO LEAVE |. C.?
May Be Made General Manager OF
New York Central Lines.

San Francisco, Cal.-Rumor here has
it that E. E. Calvin will succeed j. T.
Harahan in charge of the Illinois Gen.
trail, and that Harahan will be made gen.
eral manager of the New York Central,
to serve under President Brown. Cable
messages were ent last week by Harri-
man to Hawaii, recalling Calvin and w.
H. Bancroft, and ordering them to report
in New York as soon as possible.
Calvin is general manager of the South.
ern Pacific lines west of Ell Paso, and
Sparks, New, and Bancroft is general
manager of the Oregon Short Line.
The story on the street here is that
Hartman offered Harahan $4,000 a
year to 60 to New York, as he is most
anxious to put the Central lines in good
physical shape. He wants Calvin in Chi
cago and it is probable he will put Ban
croft in charge in San Francisco.

BLIZZARD MOVES TO EAST
Coolest Weather of Winter Prevail

New York.-New York and the East

ter of the terrific windstorm and biz
zard which has crossed the continent
from the hoary Northwest, leaving de-
struction and suffering in its path. 1t

great city by a heavy fall of snow, which
blinded the pedestrians and made travel
of every kind dangerous.
At Pittsburg and points in West Vir-
ginia, Western Pennsylvania and Eastern
Ohio the country has been seized in a
zero grasp of a snowstorm. At many of
the Northern points the temperature is
far below zero, and the coolest weather
of the present winter prevails. In fact,
all the country east of the Rocky Noun
tains and in New England is suffering
from the blizzard.

The negro girl is Nellie Bryant, of
Louisville, Ky, who, with many other
negro students, was forced to leave Berea
College, in her native state, by the re-
cent constitutional amendment segregat-
ing the races in all educational institu-
tions.
She wrote in advance, setting forth
her scholastic qualifications, but neglect
ing to tell of her color, and the dean
made reservation for her to share a suite
with Miss Nellie Felver, daughter of
the richest man in Batavia.
When the Bryant girl, with bag and
baggage, presented herself to Miss Har-
riet Blaine, the dean, that lady saw at
once the futility of further considera-

single room left, and to this she as
the newcomer.
The girl will continue to attend the
school, but has secured a home in the

A Rumor-That's All.

Chicago, Ill.-The rumor that Presi-
dent Harahan, of the Illinois Central,
would go to the New York Central is
denounced as without foundation in fact
and made out of the whole cloth. There
is a clique of railroad news writer's who,
when they have nothing else to do,
transfer railroad presidents-on paper.
Mr.. Harahan is closer to the big ship
pers of Chicago than many other off
Gals, and this, in itself, makes him a
strong factor in addition to his great
ability as a railroad operator.
