iron Games Next Season.
Philadelphia. Jan. 20.-There is
every reason to believe that Dart
mouth win appear on Franklin Field
this year. This game will be the dis
tinct innovation on the Quaker sche-
dule. which otherwise will be about the
same as last year in the number of
games and opponents, except that the
addition of the Hanoverians would
add an additional contest OF quasi
championship caliber. If the Dart
mouth game becomes a fact, Penn
would have the hardest schedule of any
team I'm the east. Michigan. Cornell
Lafayette, Carlisle Dartmouth and
State would give the Red and Blue a
list of games unequalled as attractions
by any college in the country. Such
a schedule would also mean an ex-
ceedingly strenuous campaign for the
players.

EaS1 year. everybody should be keenly in
EG@ terested to learn where this money
EzS23Ga comes from. When a government is
spending thousand million dollars year
it is a necessary inference that the people
from whom the money is drawn are bearing
crushing load OF taxation
Ill., Seventy-two million dollars of the
Governments income is derived from to-
bacco. The Internal Revenue tax which the
tobacco dealer pays, enters into the price
which is charged for plug tobacco, cigarettes
and cigars. The more tobacco the citizen
uses, the greater his share of this tobacco
tax. He can escape all of it by simply letting
tobacco alone.
(2.) The Internal Revenue tax on alco-
holic beverages yields the Government
yearly revenue of S215,00O,O00. Of course
the tax enters into the price which is charged
for the liquor; and it is passed on from one
dealer to another until it is finally paid by
the man who drinks the tipple. He can es-
cape the payment of any of this Internal
Revenue tax on liquor by simply letting the
beverages alone.
49, Our great and good Government
charges the foreigner or the American i'm
porter Of foreign goods license fee for the
privilege of entering our markets This fee
is collected at the Custom houses and is
known as the Tariff The annual amount of
it now ranges above $300,0000O0. The fee is
paid on 4 1000 articles, which are necessaries
or luxuries to the, American people. 1t has
already been explained how the fee which is
paid for the privilege of selling the goods
becomes part of the price which the pur-
chaser of the goods has to pay at the retail
stores Consequently, what seems to be tax
upon foreign goods is really a tax upon the
American citizen who uses those goods
a. Are there any favored classes in this
country who escape all kinds of taxes?
Yes,-and that is one of the burning evils of
our present abnormal system of government.
1t must be quite evident to you that if any
individuals Or corporations are given the
power to tax the people, they aoiU, from this
source, get back the tanes achich they Them
sezves are compelled TO pay the Government.
Take the railroads, for instance. They are
capitalized at more than Is billions of dol
lars, of which more than half is fictitious,
dishonest, rapacious capitalization. Never
theless, our courts have decided that these
corporations are entitled to a net profit on
those enormous issues of stocks and bonds.
You will perceive that whatever amount of
tariff tax the railroads pay upon their ma
terial, they include as a part of their operat-
ing expenses; and that these are refunded
to them by the public in passenger fares and
freight rates. Our fool courts have decided
that the transportation companies are not
only entitled to pass their operating expenses
off on the public, but in addition thereto
must have reasonable net income, over and
above all fancy salaries, attorneys fees, etc.
If you will put your mother-wit to working,
you will realize that the same vast advantage
