known to the technicalities Of the law
were taken to secure continuances in

FIVE dollars for each bird found in his
possession. The case was appealed,

"CUMMINs is RIGHT"


We have thought all along. and we
think now, that Senator Cummins is
on the wrong side of the whole ques-
ton Of taxation and that instead of
fighting so persistently to keep GUS
toms duties down and to put domestic
taxes up he ought to be for keeping
customs duties up and for holding do
mestlc taxes-other than the whisky
taX-down; but so far as concerns this
present scrap with the president over
income and corporation taxes we wish
to assure the senator once more of our
sympathy and Endorsement. The more
we think of it, the more does this pro-
posal for special tax on corporations,
without at the same time proposing a
corresponding tax upon individuals
and partnerships conducting the same
business as do the corporations, strike
us about as reasonably as would pro-
posal to charge a poll tax against red
headed men without at the same time
charging poll tax against brown
haired men and bald-headed men. SEN
ator Cummins is right in Directing to
that sort of nonsensical discrimlna-
ton.

THE MILLION CouRrs OF ApPE.,

An editorial in the July Forum sug-
gests that 1t behoves those senators
who are closely allied with protected
interests to remember that already the
proposition to elect senators by popular
vote commands mora support than any
other question which involves change
in our federal constitution While in
the opinion of the Forums contributor
1t is not a wise suggestion and totally
at variance with the admirable plan
upon which our government is found
ed, the prediction is made that if there
should be a widespread belief that it
presents the only way in which the
public veal can best be served, it will
be forced apon The country.
THE issue can and viii be avoided
If popular trust in the senate is not
shattered by a tariff bill which pan
ders 10 the trust. and continues the
present era of high prices for the ne
cessities of life" asserts the Forum,
ut is worth while TO repeat. there
fore. at the conclusion Of this article,
the opening statement that it may or
may not be fortunate that the senate
contains at the present time an over
whelming republican majority. 1t is a
majority which gives to Mr.. Aldrich
absolute control OF the situation, but it
is also majority upon which a grave
responsibility rests. Its work upon the
tariff bill is to be judged by the coun-
try in The approaching campaign. 1t
has the opportunity to continue the re-
publican party in authority for an in
definite period, but it may also hurl
that party to ignominious defeat.
In the tariff bill now pending in the
senate lies hidden the veal or woe
of the political organization now ap-
parently so strongly intrenched in
power. 1t Is this fact which invests
the debate with serious signid canoe.
Nor Will the question be finally
answered by the passage Of the bill
There are a million courts Of appeal in
the ballot boxes Of the land
