The Prosperity Schedule.

Iarln bills are judged, after enact.

prosperity schedule is the one most
interesting to the country. Nine vot.

LET VOTERS DECIDE
WASHINGTON STAR ON THE PRO.
POSED INCOME TAX.
Republican Organ Urges That the
Question Be Submitted to the Peo-
pIe-Public Sentiment Has
Not Been Expressed.

In discussing the proposed income
tax the Washington Star says:
By the presidents plan we should
get clear expression from the people
as to an income tax. No campaign
has as yet developed public sentiment
distinctly on that subject. 1t is true
that last year the Democratic party
declared for the tax, while the Repub-
leans were silent. But the election
did not turn in any measure on that
issue. Other issues occupied atten-
ton. and Judge Taft's success rested
upon them. The income tax was of
no force in the contest
This is made very plain now by the
situation in the senate. The Repub-
lican members of that body who favor
an income tax, and would be glad to
vote for it to-day without special in
structions from the country, are not
new converts. They held their pres
ent views last year, but of course did
not express them. Standing on the
Chicago platform, they addressed
themselves in their campaign speeches
to the questions grouped in that in
strument
Nor, although the Denver platform
carried the issue approvingly, did the
Democratic spellbinders lay any
stress on it, Other things occupied
their time. and brought out what
strength their party exhibited at the
polls. Mr.. Bryan was not defeated
because of his advocacy of an income
tax.
But by submitting the question to
the states we should ascertain precise.
ly what the voters desire. The issue
will not be obscured or subordinated,
but will stand out in it's full meaning
and proportions. Yes, or no, will be
the response
1t is predicted that the campaign
will be marked by extraordinary cor
ruption. AS the friends of the tax
must show strength of three-fourths,
It's enemies will be able to concentrate
their efforts and invest huge campaign
funds where they will be most effec-
tive. We may probably expect a lib
eral use of money, but it is not likely
that money will carry the day.
III the tax is approved in the way
proposed. will the power be reserved.
or exercised at once? Will the cor
poratlons tax he repealed and the in
come tax substituted? The question
Is pertinent and important.
But no answer is possible now. A
campaign might follow with such a
proposition as the issue. Something
VIII depend on how the corporation
tax works. If it proves good revenue
producer, and no very unpopular ex-
emptlons appear, the people may de-
eide to continue it. But a disappoint-
ment in 1t might result in it's over
throw, and the adoption of the other
tax.
The main thing at present is the
submission of the income tax TO the
voters. AS yet no mandate for such
TAX has been issued by them, and
the party in power should not act in
so important a matter until distinctly
instructed

FOLLOW THE TRAIL OF GUILT.
Officials and Employees Implicated in
Sugar Frauds Must Be Found
and Punished.

The daily press records the slow
OF justice to prosecute those officials
and employees of the so-called sugar
trust who were implicated in that
enormous fraud upon the national
treasury which has become known as
The Case of the Seventeen Holes"
1t Is to be hoped that this prosecu-
ton will be pushed unremittingly. that
1t will reach as far up among the off.
Gals OF the offending corporation as 1t
is possible to follow the trail of guilt,
and that in every case Of conviction
the penalties imposed shall be as Sc
we're as the law warrants.
II should be possible TO follow the
trail of guilt clear to the top. 1t is
often true that the subordinates of a
great corporate business violate the
law for their own advantage, without
the knowledge or approval Of their
responsible superiors. But ii is also
true that the superiors are often so
curiously blind to profitable lawbreak-
ing that their guilt also must be in
ferred.
In this Case of the Seventeen
Holes"-so named from the mechan-
ical device by which scales were made
to show false weights to the profit Of
the corporation and the loss of the
treasury-the crimes committed re-
CURED the cooperation of SO many
persons. were so persistent and long
continued, that IL is simply impossible
to believe they were not known and
approved by the responsible heads Of
the corporation.
In fact, the conclusive proof, that
not only the machinery for crime ex-
listed, but that crimes were regularly
and habitually committed and their
profits secured, was found in the cor
poration's own daily records of it's
business and in the summaries Of
those records prepared by order df it's
superior officials for their informatio
regularly laid before them and ngces-
sarily considered by them.
Hence 1t should not be impossible to
follow the trail of guilt clear to the
top, to obtain all necessary legal proof,
and by severe punishments to make
an example that may be really deter
rent to corporation lawbreaking-

The South and the President.

NO southern man expects the presi-
dent, grounded as he undoubtedly is in
Republicanism, to sacrifice his faith in
order to curry favor with the south
The south would hardly respect him If
he did.
The south, however, asks only one
thing of the president, and that is, that
in making official selections he choose
the men most qualified. whether they
be Democrats or Republicans. Espe-
cially do they expect him to do this in
the matter of judicial appointments.
If capable Republicans can be found
for such positions in the south, south
ern Democrats will expect and ap-
prove their appointment. If, on. the
other hand, the presidents party is de-
void of the right material. they ma
turally hope for the appointment of
men of their political faith 1t is i'm
Portant that judicial positions be
filled by the most capable men in the
several districts and circuits. because
the judicial officer stands in differ
ent light toward the people to the &C.
cupant of merely political Office.
President Taft is showing apprecia-
tive consideration of the south and it's
interests, but he will not be any the
less Republican because of it.-Nash-
