Within a week three American mission

Mr.. Maurer were killed in Adana. The
place was red with massacre. Homes

wall about. were safe. They left 1t to try

The Income Tax.

Mr.. Aldrich insists upon his figures.
The Payne bill as amended by the repub-
lican members of the Senate finance
committee will produce revenue enough
to support the government He rein
forces his own calculations with those
of Treasury officials, and asks that they
be accepted.
But, says the senator. still balancing
the question, if the figures fall short,
the solution will not be more taxes, but
smaller appropriations. Estimates will
have to be reduced to meet the amounts
raised by the customs schedules. He
thinks that, anyhow, we have been
spending too much money. He could
apply the knife and lop OF fifty millions
of dollars annually.
This is not the most assuring kind of
talk. even for a Senate two-thirds re-
publican, and it leaves the country at
large little cold toward Mr.. Aldrich's S
position. The revenue-producing power
of tariff bill should not carry as an
attachment a single if, but or and. 1t
should be above all. suspicion on that
score. 1t should not be absolutely at the
mercy of fat year or a lean year in the
matter of importations. Taxes should
be laid so as to guarantee liberal mar
gin over all reasonable expenditures The
governments support should be incon-
testably assured.
This was the Presidents idea probably
in recommending an inheritance tax. That
tax. he saw, would not be subject to
the fluctuations attending customs taxes.
II would afford the union of those fine
old certainties. death and taxes There
Is a pretty steady death rate even in this
healthy country, and inheritances con-
tinue right along. A tax laid on them
would always be good for snug sum
that would come in very we'll in any old
year.
And the same argument applies to an
income tax. Incomes would yield steadi-
ly. and business would be in nowise dis
turbed by changes in rates or adjust
ments from time to time.
In this view of the general question.
debate on the income tax and other forms
of direct assessments should be well
coined. whether any such taxes are levied
now or not. The country is interested in
the subject. and in the Senate today are
men unusually well qualified to discuss it.
