DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS
CONTINUED from Page one.)

extravaganza has gone on increasing
year after year until now the deficit
is considered by republicans as well
as democrats to be one of the biggest
problems in finances that has con-
fronted the government in a quarter
century. Therefore income or inheri-
lance tax measures will soon be a
necessity, and will receive consider
alton along with tariff revision. Pres
ident Taft favors either of the taxes,
but of the two prefers the inheritance
tax because he believes it would be
easy of collection.
Used In Civil War.
The first income tax imposed in the
United States was during the civil
war. By an act of 1851 tax OF 9 per
cent was laid on all incomes over
$500. In 1862 tax of per cent was
laid on incomes ranging from $500 to
$4,000, tax of 71a per cent on n
comes from $4,000 to $10,OCc, and q
tax of 10 per cent on incomes over
, $4,000. In 1864 a tax of per cent
was made to apply on incomes over
$500 to $1,000. The tax on incomes
expired in 1872.
The Wilson bill of 1892 provided for
a per cent tax on all incomes OF
more than $4,000, the tax to remain in
force until Jan. l, 1900 It's history IS
| full of interest at this time, and will
probably be threshed out on the aoor
of congress within the next few
months.

Held Not Direct Tax.

In 1880 the supreme court had de-
cided with no dissenting opinion that
an income tax on rents is not di-
rect tax within the meaning of the
constitution but an excise tax, and
hence permitted to the general gov
eminent In minority opinion Mr.
Justice Harlan let it be plainly seen
that he believed the court to have
dealt severe blow at the stability
and safety of American political in
situations.
Many members of congress express
the belief an income tax would be
upheld by the supreme court as it is
at present constituted The points
from legal stand are so evenly bal
anced, they say, that the court would
in all probability find way to get
around the decision of 1895, and allow
something to public sentiment Els

that harvested a few years ago. John

while last year it harvested 10000
Captain Pearson's company put away
10000 tons and bought 1000 from

Last year this company harvested ali
the ice needed for local trade and
shipped many thousand tons out OF

state However. in spite of the fact
that some ice was purchased out Of

Not a Beauty Spot

A visit to Maple Grove cemetery and
q casual glance around will be all that
is necessary to convince the visitor that
with some the dead are soon forgotten.
In most communities the people who
own lots in the cemetery or who have
dear ones laid at rest within its confines
give the last resting place of the bodies
of their dead some care and attention,
but in the Maple Grove cemetery there
are so many lots and plots that are un-
cared for that one is forced to think the
people of Audubon are Careless. to say
the least, of how the place looks.
There are so many graves with rank
growth of grass and weeds covering the
mounds and lots that the few which
are kept in state of neatness make
such a contrast that it seems a wonder
the careless ones don't give some
thought to the appearance of things.
A sickle and rake with someone not
too proud to WELD them, would make u
great change in the general appearance
of the whole cemetery and instead of
it being disgrace to this community it
would become place to gladden. the
eye and cheer the heart of the bereaved
when they go there to attend to the
mound raised above their beloved dead.

POLE DISCOVERED AGAIN
Peary of the Americ an Navy
Finds il April 6. 1909

Only last week the word flashed over
the wires that DR.. Cook had discovered
the North Pole April 81, 1908, over l6
months ago On Sunday he dined with
the royal family of Denmark. For the
time DR., Cook was the most highly
honored man i'll the whole country.
But something new happened Monday,
Lieutenant Peary was heard from. From
Indian HNrbor, away mp north some
where, came the message to Mrs. Peary:
Have made good at last. / have the
old pole Am well. 4" Since that the
cables have been kept hot with mess
ages and Pearys big story of his doings
sent to the New York Times and printed
to-day in the Daily Capital of Des
Moines
According to the reports both DR..
Cook and Lieutenant Peary have dis
covered the North Pole or the place
where it ought to be. Dr. Cook seems
to have the title of first discovery, but
rs Lieut.. Peary knew nothing about
what Cook had done, he is entitled t.
equal honors and there is no need foi
jealousy between them or their friends
Both are good Americans and ouI
country has the undisputed honor OF
having made the discovery.

BANK GUARANTY DOUBTFUL

The democratic legislature of Okla
homa passed law last winter requiring
banks to unite in guaranteeing the
funds of depositors, but the law doesn' t
seem to be as good in practice as it is in
theory.
Geo. E. Roberts, president of the Com
mercial National bank of Chicago, has
been investigating the results of the
bank deposit guaranty law of Oklahoma.
He finds that it has driven out of bust
ness seventy-fve national banks, most
of them being replaced with banks of
small capital; increased number of banks
beyond the proportion of increase in
deposits enabled incompetent an un-
scrupulous men to get into the banking
business; demoralized business because
the banker who pays highest interest
and loans at lowest rates on least secur-
ity gets the deposits; that under present
conditions the failure of one big bank
would knock the law into cooked
hat and make the worst bank panic a
state ever had
