ed that the same opposition was madP

DEPEW'S FISCAL DISCOVERY.

Senator DepeW in a recent interview
made a fiscal discovery. He deplores
the proposed corporation income tax,
and turned his attention to the sup
eriority Of the stamp taxes asa means
of raising revenue. His discovery is
that in the practical experiences OF
this country lit has been demonstrate
ed that they work well, that they have
produced us high as $40, 0oO, 900 a year,
that they are popular and that they
affect only those VIII" are amply able
to pay
This is in the category of things
that are important, if true. Those
whose memory extends, like Senator
Depew's, over two periods of stamp
taxing and who do not look at the
matter from his standpoint as direct
have a different recollection. They
may recall that stamp taxes We're re-
sorted to in both cases only as war
measure, and that they were repealed
as soon us possible after each war dis
tinctly because public sentiment de-
manded relief from tax which was
more bOtherSOlne and veNatiOus than
any other tax in the experience of Il
much-taNed people. In the halcyon
! days when $4,000, 900 was raised by
that means the person who gave a re-
ceipt without two-cent stamp at
tached was liable to a visitation from
a United States inspector. The asser-
tion that a stamp tax Oh receipts,
contracts, deeds and proprietary ar
ticles affects only those who are able
to pay is evidence of Senator Depew' 5

We raise now about G5n.NU0. 900 bushels
Of wheat in the United States annually
under good crop conditions. This will
leave us but 2O.uOO.OoO bushels as Il

that we will soon need all our wheat for

the ten years in which the population
Of the country increased about 81 per

FINDING, \ YOUNG GIANT,

Vice President Sherman has recently
been giving out some figures that tend
t" show what Il large sized baby among
nations the United States has grown.
Some of these were comparative figures
and these carry home the idea. Tie says.
for instance. that ln'.OO0 engines in this
country move 1000. OW.l 900 tons Of fir iyh
in Il year. and thi, amount is equal to
that hauled by all the other railroads
in the world plus that handled by the
ships This devclureS the fact that the
railroad mileage Of this country !, equal
to hat of all the rest of the word COM
,'ned. and that the mileage PER lao.ooo
people is four times that of any of the
great nations.
Another figure that has been much
quoted of late is one which shows that
the manufactures of this country amount
to $lG,MM M0.0lo. Germany less than So
WMMO. 900. and France less than $4,000
100000. These fl cures are not infinitely
correct. hut are the best that may be
had for comparison. There is il duplica
tion in certain of the census figures on
manufactures in this country. and we will
styl" food products manufactures. which
the other nations do not. With these
adjustments the United States is still
by far the greatest manufacturing
country in the world. despite its youth
and the fact that its speciality is the
production of raw material.
Our manufacturers think little of fore
ign markets. but aim chiefly ut supply
ing the home trade. notwithstanding
this fact. our exports are IL little greater
than those of Great Britain or Germany
and twice those Of France. all Of which
countries practically live hy scliin.
abroad.
Of those great essentials that form
the basis of all trade or industry. the
United States produces more steel iron,
petroleum.. coal. copper. cotton whc,t and
corn than amy other nation. These things
are the essentials. They feed the indus
tries of all the other nations. Without
them the industries Of any nation in
Europe would soon he ut Il >tandstill.
and famine would stalk abroad.
1t may he said that the United States
is the Industrial balance OF the world
to-day. All Europe depends upon the
spinning of that wheel. No nation in
Europe would escape financial panic were
it to stop. Europe is not likely to start
any unpleaSantnc>> with this nation.

LET US HAVE FIRE PROTECTION.

The business men have been dis
cussing the feasibility of putting down
Il well OH the high point back OF the
bank building, the water to be used
for fire protection. Figures are now
being made for the cost of the well,
an Ell, waited tank, gasoline engine and
hose sufficient to reach the remOtest
part Of the business section. 1t is
believed that whatever expense the
citizens go to in the matter of provid
ing adequate fire protection will be
assumed by the administration when
the city is organized. This seems to
be the only stickler in the way of the
success of the undertaking. If the
citizens were assured that the city
would reimburse them for the outlay
in making this much needed improve
ment. the money would be forthcom
ing at once. OF course there is no
way of guaranteeing it, but there is Il
moral obligation that no city admin
istratiOn, no matter now remote 1t
may be, would dare to ignore. Certi
ticates could be issued, showing the
amount Of money each individual
subscribed. which could be paid back
without interest, when the city pur-
chased the improvements. The say
ing in the cost Of insurance would
more than make up for the interest Oh
the money advanced. Let US have

MONTANA'S BLESSED CLIMATE.

In five days more than hundred
people died in the city of New York
alone. because of the intense heat,
while throughout the Atlantic coast
generally, the fatalities have amount
ed to something like twice that num-
Der within the same space OF time,
says the Billings Gazette. In addi-
ton to the numerous fatalities, there
have been many prostrations in the
majority of which it may be expected
that the victims will never fully re-
cover.
In Il large proportion of the eases
which resulted fatally there were
shocking features. In one case,
poor woman, driven to madness by
the intense heat, leaped from All up
per iloor of Il building and was dash
ed to death upon the pavement be-
meath; in another instance. II laboring
man sought Il breath of air and cool
ness upon the roof of the building in
which he slept. and after tossing in
agony throughout the long hours of
the night, he decided to end all by
death, and leaped from the roof: in
still another instance. Il man. seek
ing relief from the intolprable heat
at the water front, and finding his sut-

steam arising from the river, ended
his suiferings by Il plunge beneath the

There were people in Billings who
yesterday complained of the heat.
These people, as they sat OF their
porches last evening and allowed the
