AT LAST a METAL SALE.

The report of the committee appoint
ed by Governor Hughes of New York
to investigate the inwardness of the
various stock exchanges operating in
that State, made a most interesting
report which was published June 18th.
Among other stock exchanges, real and
fictitious, dealt with in the report, was
the so-called Metal Exchange. As to
this exchange, the report said:
In spite Of the apparent activity of
dealings i'm this organization in pub
lishcd market reports there arc no ac
tual sales on the floor of the Metal EX-
change. and we are assured that there
has been none for several years. Prices
are. however manipulated up and down
by quotation committee OF three, chosen
annually. who represent the great metal

appear, affordinG facilities for fixing
prices on large contracts, merely Tor the
profit OF a small clique. embracing. how
ever. some of the largest interests in the
metal trade,
The Tribune commented upon this at
the time the report was published, as in
direct line with its own information,
presented and commented upon for
many years past. II was a fictitious
making of prices, just as VIC had under
stood and condemned for many years
past, that the public received from
this so-caled Metal Exchange
That report. it appears, stirred up
this so-called Metal Exchange, which
is no exchange at ali and has not been
for twenty years, having no actual
dealings whatever. but controlling
prices in the interest Of the inside
clique without regard to actual condi-
tions any more than just enough to
keep within the danger line. The com

became alarmed: IL saw that something
must be done, and on Thursday OF last
week there was, FOR the first time with
in the memory Of mankind. an actual
sale OF fifty tons of copper on this
shifty exchange. It WAS an astounding =

FILIPINO INCOME TAX.

The talk OF an income tax has had
an effect where it might least have
been expected. The Philippine Assem-
bly, appears to have heard about it for
the first time, and evidently thinks
we'll of the proposition, specially ap-
piled. AS explained in the Manila
Times, the matter takes this form in
that Assembly:
The provisions Of a bill introduced by
Delegates Soto and Quezon are that AL
government employees receiving salaries
Of 5000 pesos (sl500) and over shall pay
an annual tax OF per cent of the amount,
and those who receive salaries OF more
than 1000 pesos shall pay an extra l per
cent for every additional 1000 pesos. TINS
tax TO become effective July l. 1909, 1t
shall be necessary for each employee SUD
ject 10 this tax to have certthcate that
he has paid the amount due before ne
can draw any salary. and failure 10 com
ply is punishable by fine equal TO tee
tax; or. In case OF insolvency. 10 SUD
sidiary imprisonment and perpetual gls-
money TO be derived from the tax Is 10
be used in the repair OF schoolhouses and
payment Of extra teachers
That is certainly drastic proposi'
ton, and the civic officials, at least,
will be held so tight by it that there
is no possibility of their escaDing the
tax. When an official is debarrcd from
receiving his salary until he EXHIBITS
certificate that he has paid the IN
come tax due on the previous payment
Of that salary, there would appear to
be but little chance for him TO dodge.
And the penalties provided. being by
fine equal to the tax, imprisonment. and
perpetual disqualification from holding
Office, are drastic indeed.
In contemplating the rigorous provis.
ions described. however, one cannot
avoid the feeling that there is some
thing vindictive at the bottom of it;
probably jealousy OF envy OF those
who are holding official positions. The
great bane of legislation Of that Kind
is that it overreaches itself, and is liza
bic 10 be- held to be class legislation,
! and therefore invalid. II the Filipinos
