Editorial Notes.
BY ]. D. Watson.

The income tax clause in the tariff bill is
the one that is of most Importance to the peo-
pie. An income tax of 2 per cent on incomes
of from 5000 to $4,000, from $4,000 to
$4,000 tax of 3 per cent, and SO on up to 8
per cent on 100000 or over, would net the
government an increase in revenue of from
S7o,oooooo to $oo,ooo,ooo, which would be
enough to meet the deficit in the expenses of
running the government
And the tariff On the commodities that the
masses of the people are obliged to have could
be put on the free list
Such law would hurt no person.
You are told that the government must levy
tariff duty in order to get the money to pay
the expenses of running the government.
Each dollar collected by the government
from an income tax means that the protected
interests.-the Sugar Trust, the Steel Trust.
the Oil Trust and numbers of other Trusts
will be affected by each dollar collected from
an income tax.

wou mean dollar loss to the Trusts.
For every dollar collected as an income tax
by the government the Trust must lose dol
lar which they now rob the consumer of.
The Trusts rob the people by a protective
tariff
If an income and inheritance tax paid the
government millions in revenue what excuse
would the Trusts representatives in Congress
have to fall back on? None!
They now tell us that we must levy a tariff
to meet the increased expenses of government
If we can meet the increased expenses of gov
eminent by tax which only makes those who
are able to bear it pay lt,-why not meet tho
increased expense in that way?
Wouldn't it look a little more like Justice
to make Rockefeller, Morgan and Hartman
pay their proportionate share, with the aver
are farmer. than making the farmer pay both
the farmers and the Trust magnate's share.
The attention that certain of Our Democratic
friends give Senator Aldrich makes you have
pity for them.
Aldrich leads you to believe that he is in
favor Of revising the tariff downward and
shows that the revenue of government can be
cut by cutting down the governments ex-
penses.
Aldrlch is right there. But who was one of
the leaders in making the increase in expenses?
Adrich!
And what is Adrich's plan in appearing as
the champion Of economy?
President Taft promised Tariff Revision in
his campaign, but he does not want the army
or navy appropriation cut
Mr.. Taft also opposes Mr. Aldrichs views
on the tariff revision.
And now we have the secret
Aldrlch hopes to make the President come
to the Trusts terms on the Tariff by threaten
ing to cut down the army and navy appro-
priations.

has come to the conclusion that WON.

The time may come. he says. when in
the matter of feet there will be little
difference between the two sexes. He
has made careful measurements of
the portions of feet on ancient statues,
and has compared these measure.
ments with the feet Of modern women.

He attributes the change to the grow
ing taste for walking, athletics and
other outdoor exercises. French
women's feet are increasing in size at
rapid rate.

The Clyde Of Land.n

According to an ancient law in Eng
land, "a hyde of land" included what
could reasonably be cultivated with
one plow. This applied for scores of
years, but at the dissolution of the
religious orders in the reign of Henry
VIII. the "hyde," or cultivated land
OF the abbots Of Westminster, all re-
verified to the possession of the crown.
That marked the gradual decline Of
that means Of measuring land, and
before many years the term fell into
dtsuse, never to be revived.
