in their lives that it is better to be

ment as much as you like SO long as you make
the common people bear all Of the expense
But when you talk about making the very
rich bear their proportionate share, great
howl goes up.
The tariff is the real creator of the Trusts,
and without high protective tariff to protect
them the Trusts could not rob the people as
they do now
But how many OF us ever stop to investigate
our present tariff rates to see how are be-
ing robbed? Take wool as a fair example
The duties on wool importations range from
40 to 40 per cent
But the duties on finished wooden goods are
still more extortionate. Cheap blankets valued
at 40 cents pound pay duty Of o. cents a
pound equal to all advalorem duty of about
los per cent.
On the cheaper grades of flannel which the
poor man has to wear he pays duty of I43
per cent, while on the higher grades, the Kind
worn by the rich, the duty is 8o.3o per cent.
This is true, not only in the case of wool and
wooden goods, but almost all of the necessaries
of life.
The prohibitive tariff on wool makes the
poor man wear scanty clothing in winter, as
the prohibitive tariff on hides and leather
makes him go almost barefooted in the winter.
And what is true of wool and leather, is
true of the other necessaries.
Instead Of taxing the poor man to death for
what he is obliged to have, why not levy an
income tax, well as an inheritance tax?
This would be no hardship on the rich, but
it would enable the poor man to have enough
to eat and give him warm clothing to wear.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1909-04-01

But how could we make general reduction
in our tariff rates and meet the increase IN the
cost of government?
First, the cost of government could be great
ly reduced.
We are paying millions to keep up a big
army which we don't need just as we are
spending millions to build a powerful navy
That would reduc the cost of government
Second, Congress could pass graduated m
come tax All inheritance tax, and parcels
post law
Neither of these three laws would work
hardship to anyone.
They would not only meet the increase i'll
the cost Of government, but they would leave
a big surplus in the treasury.
For years New Jersey has been known as
the home of the Trusts, because most Of them
are chartered under the laws Of that state.
But even New Jersey has become little
tired of Trust methods within the last few
years, and has put slight check on them.
The highest court in the state has handed
down several decisions antagonstc to corpor
atoms One of these decisions checked the
scheme of rich corporations buying up the
stock of weaker competitors and crushing out
competition by power of money.
Of course, the big corporations did not like
this and Wall street is making an effort
to have this court abolished, and to have the
judiciary of the whole state changed and new
Judges appointed,
Isn't it about time to wake up and do some
thing when Wall street robbers propose to
abolish the highest court in state because
decision of that court doesn't suit the robbers?

SPOUTS BY THE
SPORTING EDITOR

Horse-racing in these Islands
should be the principal sport of the
people. Still, nothing or next to
nothing Is done at the game.
Hilo certainly wakes up twice a
year, and holds a match meeting
for that is what the races really re.
solve themselves into.
IL Is merely see-saw game--one
owner imports a good horse and
sweeps the board on, say, the 4th.
The principal owner whose horses
are defeated, Immediately begins
looking around on the Coast for a
likely-looking gee-gee to win here
lie succeeds-and so the game goes
on.
The obvious remedy for this state
of affairs is the introduction of q
proper handicapping system. Let
y there be fairly adjusted weights fol
n start, and notice of a graduated
scale of penalties for winners of Ger.
tain races. by this means the spec,
tacle of the same horses running O
similar distance, under exactly the
same weights as they carried, per
haps. the day before, would be avoid
ed. As horse-racing goes nowadays
in these Islands, one horse, or maybe
two, scoop all the prizes. Taking thu

the game, after fighting very hard

Down in the arid lands of the southwest
