The Federal Taxation Problem.

Indications at Washington point very
strongly to a disposition on the part of
some of the so-called insurgents to make
an issue of the proposition to levy a fed
eral income tax. 1t is an issue that
will lend itself to the stirring up of
strife between classes, and win serve
very nicely, if it can be exploited, to
retard the progress of tariff legislation
and the revival of business.
The best solution of the problem of
iegislating to cure the deficit would be
to shun experiments like federal taxa
ton of inheritances or incomes. and to
keep expenditures on reasonable plane
BY avoidance of extravaganza the in
come from the Aldrich tariff bill would
doubtless prove sufficient to meet the
requirements of the budget.
If ever Congress comes to a choice be-
tween an inheritance tax and an income
tax, regard should be had for the fact
that the collection of an Inheritance
tax will not necessitate intrusive poking
into details of private business and will
not emharrass business enterprise, while
the collection of an income tax would
do both of these things.

Mrs. YerkeS' Troubles.

Judge Ward of the United States cir

ton from the superior court of Cook
county, H., enjoining Louis s. Owsley,
the executor. from proceeding with the
filing of ancillary letters of administra-
ton in this city is disposed of. The court
says that if Owsley obtains ancillary
letters here there is no reason why the
personality shall not be turned over to
him. Harrington Putnam, the tempo
rary receiver, has installed his represen-
tatives in the Yerkes mansion at Fifth
avenue and Sixty-eighth street. Mrs.
Yerkes has been sick in ped and is said
to be ignorant of the present proceed
ings or the presence of detectives in the
house. Besides continuing the receiver
ship indefinitely, Judge Ward considers
Mrs. Yerkes' claim to the ownership
of the Fifth avenue property and de-
clares it without foundation, since she
waived the provisions of the YerksS will
and agreed to accept her dover of one

Signaling Mars.

There are often difficulties in attempts
to communicate by signs. This was dis
covered by the American mother travel
ing in Spain who wanted to get some
milk for her little girl, but was ignor-
ant of the language of the country. Hav-
ing recourse to what she trusted as a
happy thought, she took from her peck

drew a picture of a cow. The waiter
went off beaming with intelligence, and
soon came back from the office of the
hotel with tickets for the bull-fght If
citizens of one country find it hard to
