CURRENT COMMENT
The Direct Tax as a Restraint.

Regarding Che Connecticut proposal
to revive or restore the direct state
tax, the Hartford Courant sweetly OBJ
serves -
The only voice raised so far against
Tie levying OF a state tax comes from
The, Springfield Republican, which Is al
ways ready TO Get ON the other Side Of
tie street wliensit can tell which side
that Isl nIhe Repubicau, saysgthat the
state tax ii regarded III Massachusetts,
as revenue for new legislative extTava-
gances." Against this kind Of rea soning
We can set the fact that "new egisla.
tive extrayagancesH have come along our
way since the state tax was abolished,
and there i general conviction that.
II we have state tax, the people will
keep i closer eye on state expenditures.
10 go back no further than 1904, ex-
penditure in Massachusetts for general
state purposes has steadily increased
from $s6l9,600 to i2.245, 200, or about
$3,600,000 in four years; and during
the same time the direct state tax has
increased from S2500.000 to S5.500.o00,
or $4,000, 900 showing that nearly the
whole increase in expenditure has been
loaded upon the state tax upon the To-
cal grand lists, that tax which is now
beng advertised by the Courant in
Connecticut as a sure means Of keeping
down state expenditures or preventing
legislative extrayaganees.
This Massachusetts, increase in state
expenditure under the direct tax
amounts to about 40 per cent for the
four years just past Does Connecticut

Ex-senator George r. Edmunds. once
OF Vermont, adds to his reputation for
ofiishness By declaring that California
is within her right if she establishes an an.
ti.alien land law. Nevertheless, Edmunds'
knowledge Of constitutional law makes
his opinion to be respected at any rate,
although for the good of the nation we
might hope that he is in the wrong An
opinion from him will serve to confirm
the Californians in the justice Of their
cause as an opinion from few others
would do, outside Of the courts them
selves. Hence, we may expect a re-blaz-
ing Of the fires which were in fair way
to be smothered
