Tariff and the Special Tax.

1t is a safe assertion that. in the
minds of many republicans. the tariff
revision ordered last November did not
include an income tax, an inheritance
tax or corporation tax. The prop
osition. pure and simple, was a revision
of the Dingley schedules, all of which
had been arranged for a period of ex-
treme business depression, and some OF
which had now become unwise and OPP
pressive. What was desired had refer
ence to an adjustment which would low
er customs duties now too high. In this
way many articles would be cheapened
to consumers and revenues increased.
There had been in the campaign, it is
true, some talk about special taxes, and
the republican candidate had himself
participated in It. But no such tax had
been pledged outright by the republicans.
Had the House when it met in extra ses-
sion confined itself to a revision of the
Dingley law as it stood on the books it
would have complied strictly with the
spirit of the November victory.
But a special tax at once became an
issue. The President favored an in
heritance tax, and the House adopted
his view. With this new issue thrown
INTO the arena, tDe republican, HioLioCA .
of the Senate finance committee took a
look around. They did not like any
form of special tax, and Mr.. Aldrich as
serted that the House bill as amended by
the Senate would, without a special tax.
yield all the revenue needed. But the
President wanted special tax, and to
meet the difficulty raised in the Senate
as to an inheritance tax shifted his
ground. and by special message took up
the corporation tax.
So stands the matter today. Those
who wanted the schedules of the Dingley
law revised so as to equaliZe burdens
and yield support to the government are
disappointed. They did not desire the
situation to take it's present shape. They
We're opposed. and are at heart now op-
posed, to a special tax In any form.
But special tax is on the cards. and
the Presidents latest decision seems as
sured of adoption. To suggest. as has
play for effect in conference, and that
the bill when 1t emerges from that tribu-
nal will lack both the corporation tax
and the provision for submitting the in
come tax proposition to the decision of
the states, Is to trifie with the subject.
Such a result would bring the republican
party under the severest censure, and
tag it with the charge of double-dealing.
The President cannot draw back. and he
has the final word. And In q very short
time now that word will be due.

The Business Mans Nerves.
ON the Now York World


A diagnosis OF the American business
man made by an eminent nerve specialist
reveals him as suffering from "a neurosis
partaking of the character Of neuras-
thenia, psychasthenia and hysteria," the
provoking causes OF which are ''continu-
Gus mental activity and excessive use Of
alcohol" This being the state of the
business mans nerves, the lay observer
Is left to wonder at the deceptive ap-
pearance of health and heartiness with
which he disguises his grave maladies
from the eyes of all but the neurologist.
1t Is amazing with what zest and energy
these nervous wrecks plunge into outdoor
recreation, what arduous games of golf
they play. with what enthusiasm they
motor. One might suppose that their
general health was better than that of
any previous generation of American
business men. But appearances are
proverbially deceitful. Behind their out
ward show of physical activity the in
ward cancer of decay is at work con-
suming their vitality. What seem to be
well nurtured figures are the results of
alcoholic imitation. 1t is a serious state
of things, but at least a word of admira-
tion may be expressed for the skill with
which they disguise their symptoms.

"Under Southern Skies"

The fate of a new play is always anx-
iously awaited by everyone concerned
in it's production. For it is well
known fact that the success or failure
OF a play can never be positively de-
termined until the public has chance
to pronounce a verdict. Many plays
produced with high hopes and often at
great expense do not meet with popu-
lar success and are quickly shelved.
When play lives through seven seas
ons and enters upon an eighth, with
crowded houses greeting it every
where, there can be no doubt that it
has efectually caught the fancy of the
theatre-going public. Such a play is
Lofts Blair Parker's picturesque

popularity as Under Southern Skies"
which will be the theatrical offering
