A MODERN ROMANCE.

To those who love a soul stirring
romance, who love to feel their blood
tingle in the suspense of rights vic
tory over wrong; to those, who en-
joyed the pathetic appeal of Dickens
little waits; to those, who seek inside
knowledge of municipal ways that
are dark and vain; to those, TO when
human nature in all its varied mani
festations appeals, we would recon-
mend the Beast and the jungle" by
Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of the juve-
nile court of Denver. now running in
Everybody's. Ii Is not a story of the
juvenile court. 1t Is the story of Ben
Lindsey a poor boy, who under the
stress of hunger and the pail of a
future Of darkness. tried to commit
suicide, failed, and grew into man,
rendered super-sensitive by his per-
sonal knowledge of human despair,
temptations and struggles, sweetened
by adversely and keen to help those.
who need it just where he found it
lacking in his own case.
Nothing more dramatic exists in
fiction than the modest comparison
of Judge Lindsey's character with
that of his partner, unnamed ''for
old sake's sake. Here were two
young men. actuated by the same
ideals, Lindsey slow of purpose but
spiritual; his partner quick, active,
resolute, courageous. handsome and
popular. They fought through the
Colorado legislature their reform
measure, and then came clients from
the world of the municipal jungle,
who paid them exorbitant fees for
ordinary services. Lindsey declined
further services. His partner, tempt
ed with ambition for political eleva-
ton and wealth, applied 10 the situa-
ton the time worn doctrine that the
retainer justifies the lawyer in ac-
cepting any client. and his duty to
his client justifies him the rest of the
way. They separated. and now after
these years, Judge Lindsey stands
prominently forth a national figure.

perhaps well known. despised and
rich in Denver. having sold his birth
right of character, personal and pro-
fessional, for the pottage Of big re-
tainers, to become the tool of I'M

Their characters diverge at the
point where Judge Lindsey said his
partner was possessed of self-confi- |

what others thought of him. Lind |

himself. Lindsey cherished his own
self-respect. The other justified any
thing he might do by custom. His
criterion was "others do Il and no |
one thinks the worse of them" And

Puts Premium on Perjury.
Il am opposed to a general IN
come tax law, except in times of ma
tional stress, because 1t puts such a
premium on perjury and allows in
evitable opportunities of escaping
the tax. But l am most strongly in
favor of the adoption by the states
OF an amendment authorizing con-
gress to impose an income tax with
out apportioning II among the states
according to population, because in
times OF war or other calamity when
we strain our resources, the income
will be an essential instrument by
which we could collect money to en-
ale us to meet any exigencies. /
consider 1t an elemental weakness
that the government is unable in
times of emergency to levy such a
tax.
Can Enlarge Corporation Tax.
IF the income tax amendment
passes, we can enlarge the corpora
ton tax so as to include a proper
burden on bondholders. Those who
favor direct personal income tax
for the purpose OF restraining great
wealth will probably find IL ineffec-
tive for the reasons given.
"The proper authority to reduce
the size OF fortunes is the state
rather than the central government.
Let the state pass inheritance laws
which require division of great
fortunes between the children and
the descendants and not permit the
multi-millionaire to leave his for
tune in trust. so as to keep II in a
mass, and impose a heavy graduate
inheritance tax. Gradually but effec-
lively the concentration of wealth
will thus be neutralized. The inheri-
lance tax cannot be escaped. because
the property must be adjudicated be-
fore transmission.
II doubt not that information OBJ
tanned through the new corporation
tax will be made the basis for furth-
er regulative legislation applicable
only to corporations whose business
is so largely interstate as to Justify
greater restrictions and more direct
supervision"

PRESIDENT TAFT
CONTINUED from Page ono.l

ence with Ballinger before stating
the administrator aims regarding
the conservation of resources.
The president declared that the
corporation tav was in itself the best
form of income tax that could be
levied. In urging that the states
should vote for the amendment to
the constitution, permitting the levy
of a direct income tax. appropriating
the proceeds among the states &C
'cording to their population, the pres
ident declared that IL would be pos
sible to so amend the corporation
tax as to include within its scope
every desired feature of the income
tax except a levy upon incomes de-
rived from actual salary and pro-
fessional service.
The president opposed the direct
income tax except in cases of emerg-
ency and believed the CONSTITUTIONS
prime fault is that no provision Ia
made for a direct levy to meet war
and other extraordinary expenses.
Taft declared that 1t was the SUI
preme court decision, declaring I'M
constitutional the income tax. that
prevented the leaders of congress
from including in the corporation
tax a measure providing for a lew
upon bonds and bondholders. To
tax bonds would result in a reduc-
ton of rates of interest, and hence
would be a direct tax upon bond
holders.
The president based his argument
in favor of corporation tax almost
entirely upon the results of the in
come tax in England. The latter. ne
said, is not a direct tax, but instead
taxed the income before il came into
the hands of the individual. The
English tax levied on the dividends
of corporations, on rents before leav-
ing the hands of tenants. and upon
the individual directly in cases not
covered by dividend and rents. Eng
land found that the direct income
tax of ten per cent did not produce
as much revenue as the presen.
method of taxation at five per cent.
This, he declared. illustrated the
premium that the direct tax places
upon perjury and concealment. One
Just distinction of the English law,
he said, is that the income tax on
stocks and bonds is higher than on
incomes earned by individuals. Said
the president:
An Equitable Burden.
"Under conditions that existed
with reference to the constitution, IT
seemed clear that the corporation
tax is an equitable burden, one reach
ing active business, not too heavy to
retard it, but enough to collect a
substantial revenue from those sue
cessful in business.

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Just the reverse of the usual sor-
row of landlords was reported by
Mr. Fayette Grief, who found a fam
lily occupying one of his houses with
out his knowledge. and he got the
rent. too. Few property owners
could tell tale like II, although they
could tell hundreds of incidents when
tenants skipped out, leaving only the
vacant house and big rent bill. One
of Mr.. Grief's houses was vacant, and
as he did not receive any applicants
for the dwelling, he decided to make
an investigation, and then found the
family already in possession. At first
he was startled, but later found the
family were former tenants. 1--WE
couldn't find you, Mr.. Grief" said
the head of the house, "and we
moved because we knew II would be
all right" Mr.. Grief agreed when
months rent was paid. and said II
was the first time he had had that
joyful experience.
