LINDEN NOTES.

From the Conservative,
One day recently, two certain young
men of this village were busily engaged
at blowing in two adjoining fields, until
two very stylish young men, as they
thought, appeared in the next field and
began examining an idle drill there.
The boys were very much interested in
the strangers and discussed their man
ner of dress and remarked about the
way they assisted each other through
the fence. Later the stylish strangers
proved to be two young ladies'.
Some people think that Sunday is a
day set apart for catching up odd jobs,
such as painting buggies, etc.
Mrs. Cockings and daughters Mary
and Pearl of Mineral Point visited at
the home of John Granville over Sunday.
Fred Zweifel has received a position
in one of the Mineral Point department
stores, where he began work Monday.

Milwaukee Daily News.
There can be no dispute that the
present system of federal taxation
a system which the tariff bill purposes
to perpetuate works a monstrous IN
justice to the masses of the people
1t places the entire burden of taxation
upon the things that the people use
and consume 1t taxes men not ac-
cording to their privileges and wealth
and benefits, but according TO their
needs. And every tax levied is tax
that may be shifted to the ultimate
consumer.
An income tax is not an ideal tax,
It offers opportunity for tax lodging,
such as is found in our unsuccessful
efforts to tax personal property. But
the federal government is a strenuous
tax collector and we may believe that
tax on incomes levied by it would be
enforced and collected The tax dodger
would find it hazardous undertaking
to attempt to dodge the paying Of his
Just dues. And we may believe that it
would be constitutional-that is, that
the majority of the supreme justices
now on the bench would so vote. For
that, in effect, is the final test of the
constitutionality of any measure.
President Taft in his speech Of ae-
ceptance and he is quite as good a
lawyer as any of the supreme court
justices, while there are at least a
dozen senators fully as capable who
hold to the same view-took the stand
that Fan amendment to the constitu-
ton for an income tax is not neces-
sary."
There should be no hesitation, then,
to enact an income tax law lest it be
deemed unconstitutional And there
will b, no hesitation on that ground.
If the proposed amendment shall be
defeated. it will not be because of
doubt as to its legality, but Of fear
that it will displease the citizen whose
fortune is swollen.

ucb weapons. Such law, if rigidly
enforced, would doubtless have helped
TO solve the problem to considerable
extent, but unfortunately it was decid-
ed by legal experts that the act was
unconstitutional and invalid. so that the
ATTEMPT TO enforce it was abandoned.
Just now the state Legislators of New
York are wrestling with this same
question. A bill is pending before the
legislature of that state which proposes
that manufacturers Of revolvers and
dealers who sell them at retail must
keep record of the weapons sold with
names and addresses of the purchasers.
Such plan would certainly keep the
police in touch with those who own
pocket firearms and might be the
means of accomplishing much good in
correcting the evil of their promiscuous
sale and the carrying of them about.
Perhaps there would be many thug
or other person who would hesitate
about buying a pistol and toting it with
him wherever he went if he knew that
the fact he had such weapon in his
possession would become public knowl-
edge almost Immediately after the pur-
chase.

During 1907 there were BAL men
killed or injured in the coal mines of
the country, and during 1908 probably
nearly as many. although the figures
are not yet available, while the Gov
eminent Investigations already made
show that the number of these acct
dents caused directly or indirectly by
nine explosions has been steadily in
creasing for years. They also indicate
that this increase has been due in part
to the lack of reliable information con-
corning the explosives used in mining,
and the conditions under which they
can be used safely in the presence of
the dust and gas encountered in the
mines; and in part to the fact that IN
the development Of coal mining not
only is the number of miners increas-
ing, but many areas from which coal is
being taken are either deeper or farther
from the entrance, where good yenti-
lation is more difficult and the danger
Gus accumulations of explosive gas
more frequent. - From Overcoming
