Punishment for Kidnapers.

The kidnapping of child always
prompts a demand for drastic laws for
the punishment of kidnapers, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The law of
Pennsylvania fixes the maximum pen
atty for kidnapping at life impr1son-
ment, and is good law. Certainly it
would be unwise to provide capital
punishment as has been suggested
within few days. Undoubtedly mis-
creants who thus play with life and
death and bring the furies to the door
of the parents of the stolen child de-
serve no clemency. They should be out
lawed then blotted from the earth's &C
Invites, but capital punishment would
probably not be more efficacious iii
preventing kidnapping, Fand it would al
most assure the death of the kidnapped

ture of the criminals. The parents of
the Kidnapped In this and in all other
cases play, to certain extent, at cross
purposes with the State and the police,
who naturally are eager to pay any
price at command to protect the crimi-
nails, to thwart the police and the
cause of justice, and to do anything
under heaven if they may but receive
their own back safe and sound. This
is human nature, and every father and
mother would do likewise. The inter
ests. of the State, which are the inter
ests of all other fathers and mothers
and their children, require above all
things, that the criminals shall be
caught at all hazards. One Of the
chief objects is. of course, to retrieve
thesboy alive and well. but a greater
object is to seize and to punish the vile
criminals. The safety Of other fami-
lies makes it imperative that kidnapers
shall never escape with their booty,
and that the most desperate criminals
will always avoid the crime, even when
it is suggested. because it is too hazar-
dous.

Tax Wealth, not Poverty.

OOOoSO OPOAA liz OcAAAAA " % ON&5 AA1
last week in the House by Mr.. Payne.
He and his associates have many
things to explain.
Why is tea to be taxed eight and
nine cents a pound? Wayne MacVeigh
has told Mr.. Payne, in letter worthy
of the lofty idealism of an austerer
past, that many rich men would prefer
to pay taxes that would rob them of
no luxury rather than see increasing
burdens laid upon "those less fortunate
brothers whose lives are passed in that
increasing calculation of sorrow where
hard toll sometimes provides and
some times fails to provide-sufficient
daily bread" Why not leave tea free
and make the inheritance tax, as Mr..
Carnegie suggests, "good and stiff?
Why leave upon sugar a tariff Of
nearly two cents a pound, which Mr..
MacVeagh truly calls infamous, as it
often takes from the laboring man
more than from the richest muiti-mil-
lionaire? Why not make sugar free,
saving $40 or more a year for a poor
man with a numerous brood, and get
revenue by a constitutional graduated
income tax? Why, as Mr.. MacVeagh
asks, exempt from proper taxation the
Colossal incomes and colossal accUmu-
Iations" of surplus wealth?
Why raise the tariff rates on ma
chine-knit stockings. gloves and doz-
en- othera articles of the cOmmonest
use? Why keep the wool rates nearly
at the preposterous height which. as
Franklin Pierce shows, compels poor
men to shiver in shoddy and cotton in
our bitter winds?
Will not the maximum and minimum
provision, as suggested when the bill
was reported, in practice rob the con-
sumer? The maximum rate must be
enforced against Brazil because sh e
has an export coffee duty. That would
mean nearly cent a pound tax upon
three fourths of ali the coffee we get.
The retaliation would be upon the
American people. 1t has been sug gest-
ed that we might be obliged to use the
maximum rate even against our best
customer, Great Britain.
So far as the Payne bill does reduce
the tariff upon importantgstaples, as in
the steel, wood and paper schedules, it
is short step in the right direction.
But 1t leaves tariff rates still far be-
yond defensible limits 1t perpetuates
the plundering of the consumer. 1t is,
as the minority report says, sectional
and prohibitive. 1t leaves the inevi-
table great battle for tariff reform and
uncertainty still hanging over the
business community. 1t is but a stop
to public opinion.
Yet clear and plain lies the path of
fcisal common sense. Tax wealth, not
poverty.

WILL
STAND PAT ON
RATE DECISION

With the coast cities combining
to fight Spokane's contention in the
freight rate fight and leading traf'
fic officials of the two big Hill
lines in town to try to talk them
into a compromise, Spokane ship
pers have decided to stand pat in
their fight for fair rates and GO
before the. interstate commerce
commission in June demanding
that the decision already rendered
be strictly adhered to.
J. G. Woodwork and w P. Ken
ney, Hill traffic officials, are meet
ing against with the chamber Of
commerce this afternoon, but the
preliminary skirmish yesterday in
dicates that the local shippers will
yield nothing. They believe they
would gain nothing II they did, and
regard the present compromise at
tempt as an effort on the part Of
the railroads to wriggle around a
decision unfavorable to them aft
er the decision has been rendered.
From admissions made in answer
to inquiries already propounded
the shippers are convinced that
the local rate east Of Chicago add
ed to the proposed western charge
would make the cost more than
that fixed by the commissions rul-
ing and that other pretended con-
cessions were not what they were
supposed to be before close exam
ination. Consequently, the ship
pers are wondering what the traf-
fic officials came out here for If
they have nothing better to offer
than what has appeared. If they
have anything fusther it is expect
ed to materialize this afternoon.

Of January, recovering his senses
two months later in a Sacramento
hospital, where he was told he had

surrounding the disappearance Of
F. D. Colbert, a Tuaiatin farmer,
who has just returned from sacre-
mento to his family.
He tells of a remarkable chain
of circumstances which prevented
him from communicating with his
family.
Odbert came to Portland in JAM
uary and sold team of horses for
$3.50. He went to a restaurant
where two strangers wer seated at
the some table. They engaged In
conversation and one of the strang-
ers ordered wine. Colbert took a
drink and walked to the door.
That is the last he remembered
until April l., when he regained
