Tax ne the Breakfast Table.

In his inaugural address Mr.. Taft
said: ''In the making of tariff bill
the prime motive is taxation, and the
securing thereby Ct revenue" The
Government needs are pressing.
Last year~the deficit as $50, 900, 900.
This year it promises TO reach $780,
900, 900, and with the increase of about
$40, 900, 900 in appropriations next year
it may be even larger unless Congress S
adopts prompt measures to raise more
revenue.
According to the estimates of the
Ways and Means Committee the Payne
bill now pending will produce net in
crease in custom receipts of Sl1, 666, 748
as compared with those collected under
the Dingley law in a favorable year
And to effect this inadequate increase
it is proposed to levy new taxes on the
breakfast table. Tea is to be heavily
taxed. Sc is cocoa. A retaliatory tax
is TO be imposed on coffee from coun-
tries like Brazil, Guatemala and Sal
vador, from which we draw our largest
supplies. because they levy an export
duty. At the same time the reduction
of the duty on sugar is so slight that
the consumer will derive no benefit
from it, yet, this tax. as Wayne Mae
veagh says, is especially Infamous.

Reduce the Cost Of Living.

The official schedules of revenue ex-
pected to be raised by the Payne tariff
contains computation as to stockings
which shows that the amount of reve-
nue. derived from this staple article
alone would be increased to an amount
in excess of million and half dol
lars. The quality of not over 500 per
dozen are admitted at the present rate
of GIL per cent not over $l.50 per
dozen at SO. 80 per cent; not over So. 90
per dozen, sail per cent, and not over
$500 per dozen 1888 per cent. The
amounts now collected annually in du-
ties from the above are 81 ST., 176,
1898, 512, S1.314, 100 and S219, S48 re-
spectively, or amounting in the agger-
gate to a sum of 81, O45, 1926 The ad-
vance expected from the Payne sched-
uie on the four qualities of hosiery as
figured in the computation are as fol-
oW, each quality in its respective order
which are S489, $50, S288, $50, S399, 900
and 1894, 299, bringing the advance to
total of 81, 572, 139.
The highest rate is now collected on
the cheapest goods. The duty is al
ready in every case far more than the
total labor cost in this country. More
than half of the increase is expected
from stockings now sold at Is cents a
pair or less. Judging by precedent,
the added revenue will not be fully re-
allied. An extortionate tariff reduces
importation; no one knows how many
millions the American consumer will
pay in additional profits to knitting
manufacturers because of it, without
raising the knitters' wages.
Stockings are universal prime ne
cessity. In no other way could the
Government eXasperate more people
than by raising this tariff. to get a
million and a half more revenue
which it probably will not get after all.
Thus it goes, increasing the cost Of
living, making more hardships for the
American working man to combat
with. pouring money into the Golfers of
the immense corporations for the rich
few to sit by and enjoy. Tax wealth,
not poverty
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1909-04-06

far below the needs of domestic con-
sumption, is not to be reduced because
influential interests oppose a change to
the advantage of the consumer. The
cost OF living is already oppressive,
but in these respects it is to be made
higher still. Staples like tea, coffee
and cocoa are to be taxed and a high
duty on sugar retained because certain
privileged benefciaries of the tariff
demand immunity by law against fair
competition.
So far as the Payne bill taxes the
breakfast table it is wholly bad. The
government must have more revenue.
But instead of taxing food, already far
too dear for the working people Of the
United States, in the circumstances
what way of raising revenue is there so
expedient and equitable as graduated
income and Inheritance taxes, both of
which Mr.. Taft favors?

The Value Of Publicity.

This is the age of advertising. Not
only do the merchants and the manu-
facturers advertise their wares, but
municipalities and states and entire
sections of country have enlisted under
the banners of publicity and exploit
alton maintaining press agents and
engaging the potency of printers ink.
Dixie land has gone into the field in
centralized form. A large building is
to be erected in Washington to be used
in part as a club house for Southerners
and in part as headquarters for a sys-
tematic propaganda of the advantages
of the South. The scheme is of un-
questionable value remarks the st.
Joseph's News-Press and there is no
doubt about the results. There is also
noted revival of the project enter
tanned some years ago of erecting
great states building at Washington
to be maintained jointly and to be used
as a sort of permanent exposition of
the products and advantages of the va
rious states. The original plans pro-
vided for exhibition rooms for each
state post Offices Cor each state where
visitors from that state could get
their mail; information bureaus for
such visitors species Of headquarters
for the transient and permanent pee
pie in Washington from the several
states. 1t was comprehensive affair
and yet one involving but comparative
ly little expenditure on the part of each
state.

liens Gathered in
From Far and Near
The MARYLAND Verdict.

From the Philadelphia Press.
One of the most gratifying of the re-
suits of last Tuesdays election is the
defeat in Maryland of the constitu-
tional amendment intended to dis
franchise colored voters. 1t is the
second time that Maryland has refused
to do this unrighteous act. which
some of it's politicians have been sent
on securing. 1t was defeated at an
election which showed a democratic
majority for the state ticket, so it
must have been beaten by democratic
votes. The white voters, who outnum-
Der the colored voters four to one,
could not be convinced that it was
right and decent in them to disfran-
chise the latter, and they refused to
adopt the amendments with an empha-
sis which ought to put that conspiracy
to rest forever. The state of Mary
land, by the last census, had a popula-
ton Of 1,1SS,044 of which 235,O64, or
about one-fifth, were colored. There
is no evidence that this proportion of
white to colored has been disturbed.
The fear of colored domination, which
is pleaded in defense of such disfran-
chisement farther south, would not
serve in Maryland There was no such
danger there. The only objection to
the colored voter in Maryland is that
he is apt to vote the republican ticket.

mol! Then we must ask Congress for
a law.'"-The Outlook.

For many years Americans have re-
peated the phrase, Il would rather be
| right than be president" When will
they awaken to the fact that presi-
dent may be technically right and be
very unsatisfactory? 1t is our opinion
based from careful study Of the tenn
per of the people in this part of the
| country that the people are beginning
to despair of help of the administra-
| ton. They feel that the administra-
ton is hiding behind technicalities
| which are too fine and nice in their
hairsplitting.
1t begins to be case of allowing
wrongs to be committed by default.
Whether one considers the case of
r. Schilles Ballinger and Mr.. Pinchot;
the abortive pother about kicking out
Mr.. Cannon or at least attempting to
do SO; or whether the final aid and
| comfort OF the Aldrich-Cannonl egisla-
tive trust-it all amounts to the same
thing.
The people will not deny that the ad-
ministration has kept it's skirts clean
but they will deny that the admin
istration had done precious little else.
The people have for seven years
past looked upon the Presidency as a
co-equal part of the scheme of govern
ment which voiced their feelings and
fought their battles. 1t is hard to give
up the feeling

Thirty years ago athletics in Ameri-

wealthy young men in college who led
healthy lives instead of squandering
their money and their vital force in

Boss Business Played Out.

From the New York World.
The boss business is played out in
this town, whether the bosses are
graduates of Yale, like Parsons and
Woodruff, or whether they are grad
yates of I'd avenue horse car, like
Murphy. The people are sick of hav-
ing boss nominations damned down
their threats. They may elect one
boss-nominated candidate in prefer
ence to another boss-nominated candi-
date as choice of evils, but the regu-
lar thick-and-thin machine vote is
growing beautifully less. New York
City is ready for direct nominations.
1t is ready to fall in line behind Gov.
Hughes on this issue. If Murphy and
Parsons and Woodruff still have
doubts, they are respectfully invited
to study the election reforms. They
are welcome to whatever considera-
ton they can get out Of the figures.
