A faudable Purpose.

Needless is it to say that President
Sexton of the Three-Eye league will
be upheld by every real lover of clean
sport in his efforts to purge the most
popular pastime Americans enjoy, so
far as. the domain he controls is cor
'cerned, of all rowdyism, rowdy tactics,
and profane, abusive and obscene Ian
guage on the part of players and man
ayers.
1t should be remembered, however
that while it is proper to discipline
players and make them at least out
wardly respect umpires, the latter arc
not infalliable creatures, favored by
divine decree In a word, umpires
like ball players, are human beings
subject also to discipline and if Presi
dent Sexton succeeds in establishing
| the respectful relations that should
prevail on the diamond-in preserving
the balance, so to speak-between UNI
pires and players. he will have brought
about virtual baseball millennium.
Let us all hope he will accomplish
| the laudable purpose toward which
he is striving.

Where Wealth is Taxed.

ing the rate to SIS per cent on UNI
earned incomes and upon all incomes
above $4,000. Above $4,000 the tax
is S3 per cent Incomes of $500 AMI
under are not taxed and an exemption
of $50 for every child under 1G is al
lowed
Germany leyies a heavier tax, and
the proposed French tax is smaller.
The United States levies no tax at all,
nor even an inheritance tax, which
yields foreign nations much of their
revenue. England proposes an in
crease in these taxes to minimum of
per cent, and maximum of 10 per
cent on very large estates.
There is no prospect that the present
or succeeding sessions of congress dur
ing the term of President Taft will
consider seriously the adoption of an
income tax law. The president is com

People Should Study Their Own In.

Senator Aldrich is reported as say
ing the other day that 80 out of every
100 persons who have appeared before
the finance committee of the senate
either favored no decrease of tariff
duties or an increase.
Senator Lodge says: THE consumer
is a myth
The people of the United States are
indolent when it comes to looking ;tf.
ter legislation that affects their inter
ests Not so the protected monopolies
and trusts. Their agents and lobbyists
infest the hotel Hobbies and the cor
ridors of the national capitol and they
and senators with the idea that they
are the people, while they are simply
paid agents of those who are robbing
the people and protected in doing sc
by the robber tariff
Under such conditions with the PEG
wonder that senators like Aldrich and
Lodge, who represent tariff protected
constituencies, ridicule the idea that
the people are not delighted with be
ing taxed to death and that the ICON
sumner" is "myth?'
The trouble is, the people are doing
nothing while the tariff baron gets ant
keeps busy. The maintenance of &
high tariff is nothing more or less than
a scheme for enriching a few great
interests at the expense of many con
sumers. The present debates in the
senate are making this clear to al
who will follow them.
While men who have grown ricf
because of high duties, and other:
who are getting rich through the
same process are sparing neither time
nor money in their efforts to have
those duties retained, the people
whose sole interests It is to buy what
they need as cheaply as possible are
doing nothing.

eminent, but which apply directly l6

Bank Guarantee Laws.

William j. Bryan's foolish fad" of
a law requiring banks to guarantee de-
positors against loss is being assimila-
ted by the republican party. The lead
ers and organs of that party ridiculed
it during the campaign as a wild idea
of a demagogue. But now it seems
that the attorney general of the Unit
ed States has issued recommendation
to national banks that they insure their
|depositorS against loss in private COM
panies. And Congressman Walter |.
Smith of Iowa, republican, shocked
the bankers in a recent speech at a
bankers convention in Council Bluffs
by telling them that they had better
prepare for the enactment of bank
guaranty laws and a postal savings
bank enactment.
Mr. Smiths address came after
Of the Bankers association, in which
the postal savings bank plan had been
roughly handled. and was therefore
decidedly cutting.
Thus, one by one, are democratic
plans and policies being adopted by
republican statesmen, forced to theil
acceptance by public opinion, showing
lconclusively that the democratic party
represents the people and leads them
and that the republican party which
represents the interests has to b,
driven by popular demand to profess
at least. to favor plans that they hav,
heretofore denounced.
