ENJOYED STAG LUNCHEON
Young Men Gave Farewell Party For
Van Boeaert Boys, Who Left for
West. An Enjoyable Affair.

A Stag Luncheon" was given last
Thursday evening at Hawley & Warmers
hall, 10 honor Of Messrs. Lewis and Oc-
tave Jack Van Bogaert, who left Tues
day Of this week for Grease, Washington,
where they will make their future home.
Three courses were served to the 81
hungry souls present. Walter Hickcox
Of Port Chester, n. Y and "Poodles"
Salisbury presided in the kitchen, and
Donald Payne sliced the melons The
evening was spent with games, singing,
dancing, etc. Cady Smith led the bay
onet march, as did the boys of "a and
'65 under the stare and stripes, accom-
panied by the old fashioned war whoop.
So patriotic did they become that the
guests at the Hotel Clifton were aroused
from their peaceful slumbers. "Moxie"
living skeleton, and deck" was pre-
sented as a good imitation of the famous
Salome.
Ten minute speeches were called for,
and Lewis Van Bogaert was so touched
with feeling that his voice failed him
while on the speakers stand, and not
one word could he utter Arthur pre-
sented the horored guest with a cigar
urn, which called for response from
Jack, and the words flowed from
his lips, as from an Edison talking
machine. The evening would rot have
been complete had it not been for those
touching heart rending selections on the
organ by Fat" Downing
The festivities were brought to a close
by unanimous vote for an open club
room for the young men Of the village

Eavors Income Tax.

1t is probable that the income
tax resolution provided for by
the last congress, will eventually
become a law. 1t will be sub
mitted to the various legislatures
of the several states in the union,
and if ratified by a majority OF
them will become an amend
ment to the Federal constitution
The resolution will be passed
upon by the next Michigan legis
lature and will without doubt be
ratified. The Kalamazoo Eve
ming Press recently asked for let
ters from the various representa-
tives in the state Legislature, and
their replies indicate a strong
sentiment for an income tax.
Following is copy of the letter
from Hon. Benz f. Heckart, Van
Buren, county's representative.
His position on the matter will
meet the approval of his con-
stituents.
Replying to your inquiry of the 10th
inst. concerning constitutional amend-
ment allowing imposition of income tax
have to say | am 10 favor of it,
| believe this power should be con-
ferred upon the congress in such way
as to eliminate any doubt of its present
right to exercise it, leaving such exer-
else to the sound discretion Of the law
making branch Of the government. Since
we have become a world power and
billion dollar government, every avenue
for raising revenue must he opened;
either this or a halt must be called in
our expenditures and some of the gil
gantic enterprises IN which we are en-
gagged must be abandoned. | do not be-
lieve the people desire the abandonment
of any of the schemes on which we Are
now engaged, or which are soon to be

The New Tariff.

Much controversy has been in
dulged in throughout the coun-
try as TO whether the republican
party has redeemed its pledges
during the last campaign in re-
spect to a revision of the tariff.
About five months were employed
by congress in the work of re-
vision. A great deal was said
and published by way of criti-
cism while the work was pro.
crossing. 1t was said, why don't
congress pass a tariff law and
adjourn, so the business of the
country can adjust itself to the
new rates and put an end to the
suspense and unsettled condi-
tions which must of necessity
prevail during the process Of
a revision?
Such interrogatories came,
either from those who did not
have the remotest conception of
the magnitude and importance
of the subject or from those who
wished to embarrass and bring
discredit upon the party which
was to be held responsible for
the new legislation.
To either enact or revise a
taft law is the most important
and far reaching in its effects and
consequences which congress is
called upon to perform. The en-
tire subject Of taxation must be
considered 70 properly impose
and adjust taxes calls for the
highest degree Of statesmanship.
The almost unlimited domain
under the protection Of our flag
and, consequently, the almost in
Vulnerable interests, and in a
measure conflicting interests, of
our people makes the prepare
ton or revision of a tariff law
difficult in the extreme, and re-
quires most patient and dis
eliminating study of the vast
field.
The very fact that five months
were required to complete the
work Of revision should a0monish
all fair minded persons to with
hold interminate and hasty criti-
cism until the workings Of the
new law shall be demonstrated.
A tariff law cannot be struck off
as an auction bill may be struck
off. 1t may be said, and is said,
the revision downward did not
60 far enough. Let it be remem-
bered that we have become a bill.

that incomprehensible amount of
money must be raised from some
source.
The new bill reduces the duties

raises them on luxuries demand.
ed by the class who are able to
indulge in them. Under the
Dingley bill the revenue raised
was not sufficient 10 meet cur.
rent expenses, and during the
last fiscal year there was a deficit
Of ninety million dollars.
This had to be met and pro
vision made for the future. The
present law will take care of the
deficiency and at the same time
enable the government to carry
on it vast enterprises, such as
completing the Panama canal,
the irrigation of the waste lands,
the building up of the navy and
the many other things to be taken
care of.
