feres with the states that if incomes arc to be
taxed the states should tax them. Objection is
also made that the incomes derived from state
bonds should not be taxed.
1t is quite natural that the Governor Of New
York should oppose the amendment because if
an income tax should be levied New York
would pay good share OF it.
1t is said that the income tax is unpopular, but
that is a delusive statement. No taxes are pop
uar and the income tax is especially unpopular
with those who would have to pay it and with
no one else. The average man who is exempted
from the operation OF such tax would think
very little about it, or il he thought much about
it he would say that if any more taxes arc need
ed those who have the wealth should pay them.
1t is customary for wealthy owners of ncwspa-
pers and wealthy men to say that the income
tax is unpopular and then TO imagine that it is
unpopular with the mass of the people That IS
often the manner in which public sentiment is
created.
Perhaps the chief criticism Of those who are
friendly to the tax is that the rate of exemption
is too high Many supporters of the tax think
that if it is to be levied incomes as low as ST 900
or $500 should be taxed and the tax should be
graduated. But absolute fairness could not be
secured in the income tax any better than we
have such fairness in other forms of taxation
For example a with large family and with
the same income as a man without a family
would really be paying more than the man of
no family. The progressive scale might be reg
ulated so that the bachelors would pay higher
rate.
However, the discussion of such details must
be academic. The object of the advocates Of
the income tax amendment is TO tax great wealth
throughout the country, and the motive is SINH
lar to that which is behind the Liberals in their
fight in England.
Here, of course. even should the constitution
be amended it would not mean that we
should have an income tax The question is
whether the government shall be empowered to
levy such tax if necessary, and not whether it
shall levy such tax.

Penslons Eor Lifesavers.

Seattle Post-lnteligencer.
Whatever objection there may be to all
suggestions for the pensioning Of ordinary
civil service employees, there should be
none to the bill presented by Senator
Jones for the pensioning of men I'm the
lifesaving service Of the country. The PEN
sion system now applies to the personnel
OF the army, the navy and the revenue
cutter service. The officers OF the latter
service are placed on an equality with
those of the army and navy in the matter
of retirement and retiring pay. Service in
the lifesaving corps classes with tho SER
vices wherein the pension system is now
considered proper.
The men in the lifesaving service do
their work at imminent peril Of life and
limb. Sickness and broken constitutions
have followed in innumerable instances
from the work done and hardshps encount
cred in lifesaving during midwinter gales
of the Atlantic Coast. AS compared with
ordinary civil service positions, the pay
of tho men IN the lifesavlng corps is
scanty. Keepers Of stations get $500 a
year below the average for departmental
clerks, while surfmen get S65 a month and
this only for a portion of the year

COURTS AND INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS.

n HE REV MIR. WELLS in his sermon in
ST. Andrews Church the other evening
while discussing the attitude of the courts to-
wards the fellow-servant doctrine brought out
clearly point that has much bearing the
lations of courts with the problems of mod
ern industry. Modern industry has rapidly
changed
The change has been called the industrial
revolution by writer's these topics, but the
courts attempt to deal with industrial problems
on the basis of precedents established long be-
fore the industrial revolution" before the vast
use of machinery in industry. 1t is necessary to
have specific laws to meet these modern condi-
tons, but as the Interests" are very well salts
fed with laws based on conditions of years ago
and do not want to run the risk of new egisla-
ton through natural selhshness they oppose
changes.
1t is not to be expected that manufacturers or
corporations would desire a change in the fell
ow-servant law which would render them more
liable for damages than at present and If such
changes shall come they will be due to public
demand and clamor The public in order to Sc.
cure these changes will have to exert more in
huence with legislators than the classes or in
terests do and in such a contest, we have
often remarked, the cards stacked against
the public The public in any legislative body
must get majority of both houses of the Leg
slature while the interests need only major
ty of one house to block legislation.

UNIFORM PURE FooD LAWS.

IT HE conference of Governors of the States
to be held in Washington the latter part
OF this month at the call of President Taft will
seek to promote uniform legislation throughout
the country. One of the most important topics
that will come before the Governors is that of a
comprehensive pure food law which shall be uni
form in the different states.
Although there has been a lively agitation for
pure food laws, there is uniformity in the leg
isaton on this question. Provisions Of the laws
differ in the states AS a consequence manu-
facturers of food products used throughout the
country are put to great annoyance and expense
in adapting their products TO the demands of the
laws of the varying communities. The time
cannot be very far distant when uniformity in
legislation about these matters must come 1t
would be much better If each state should have
its pure food laws modelled after the national
standard. The national law represents the best
thought and experience in these matters, and its
operation has been very beneficial.
The pure food question shows with what diff
fcuty the problem of dealing with interstate
matters is fraught. There are always some leg
isators who stand for what they call states
rights, and on this principle would seek to ham
per the national solution of problems such as
the pure food law which, because of the wide
spread use of foods affect the states equally
There have been efforts 10 secure uniform legis-
lation on many other matters, but these efforts
as in the divorce question have not been sue
cessful
The advantages Of uniform legislation OF
pure food matters is so obvious however, tina
the Governors should be able to exert enough
influence to bring about the much desired uni
formity.

pRoRLEM oF REFORMING BoYs.

II HE fact that there are some rather desper
i ate characters among the inmates of the
Ferris Industrial School was shown by the es-
capade on Saturday in which young Walker shot
two other boys and attempted to shoot the
guards when he endeavored to escape.
The incident raises a question of whether it
is wise to keep boys of the Walker kind in as
sociation with young lads who could not help
i being influenced for the worse by their contact
with the older incorrigibles.
What to do with youths of the Walker stripe
is~a serious problem. So long as there is hope
for their reformation every effort should be
made to make good citizens of them Boys
of this class are perhaps too young to be COM

solution of the problem would be the cree
tion of a House Of Refuge or some similar in
stitution in connection with the Ferris School
where older boys could be committed. Certain
" they should be kept separated from the
younger lads, those who should be really re-
formed and trained and led in the right path even
before they reach the age of those like young
