PROHIBITION DE-
.FEATED IN ALABAMA

Alabama s primary has done more
than give a setback to state wide pro
hibition. 1t has called a halt OF the
anticorporation folly which has ragged
there. as well as in some of the other
southern states and in some of the
northern states and in a few of those
of the west in recent years. The man
who has carried the state for the Demo
cratic nomination for governor, Emmett
IO'Neal, is a local option advocate. He
has overwhelmingly beaten Mallory,
the statewide liquor exclusionist.
|O'Neal stands also for fair treatment
for the railways and the other corpora
.tions.
Nine states have statewide prohibit
ton. Three of these-Maine, Kansas
and North Dakota-are northern
states. The others-North Carolina,
Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi, Tennes.
Sc and Oklahoma-are southern states.
Alabama is one of the states which
became "dry'' on January l, 1909.
After an experience of a little vel a
year that state turned against the ex-
clusionists, and intends to let the
counties and the big towns deal with
the liquor issue Independently. In the
coming election public sentiment is ex-
pected to express itself concretely on
this question, with the result that the
old sane method of home rule for the
various communities in the state will
be adopted anew. 1t is believed that
Mississippi and North Carolina, both
of which also began the state wide ex-
pertinent at the beginning of 1909, will
return to local option at an early day.
In Tennessee, which shut out the
liquor traffic, in theory, on July l,
1909, the experiment is likewise a
failure.
The most important result of the
Alabama primary. however, is the de-
feat of the general scheme of fanoti-
cism and prescription for which Gov
ernor Conner has stood. At the head
of the demagogues of his state, Conner
has hampered the big corporations
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1910-05-10

there, has inflicted millions of dollars
of damage on the people of the state,
and has given aid and comfort to the
agitators and fanatics who have had a
free hand in running the affairs of
several of the southern commonwealth
in recent times. The issue of liberal
ism and sanity has gone so far in Ala
bama that it enters into the primaries
for the selection of all sorts of officials,
from members of the Legislature and
governor up to members of the senate
and the house of representatives. APP
parently. the liberals are making a
clean sweep of the state. The setback
for prohibition in Alabama, which has
tried that policy, ought to have a good
deal of influence in Missouri, which
has not tried it, but in which there is
a movement in it's favor.-St. Louis

The Income Tax Amendment.

Two Legislatures, those of New
York and Massachusetts, have just
declined to ratify the amendment to
the Federal Constitution providing
for an income tax. The Virginia
Legislature has also declined to adopt
ratifying resolution, while seven
States-Alabama Illinois, Kentucky,
Maryland, Mississippi, Oklahoma,
and South Carolina-hdve ratified the
amendment. 1t should, of course, he
remembered that negative action by
4 Legislature is not necessarily final.
A proposed amendment may be rati-
led at any time by any State, no mat
er what action it may have taken in
the past; so that in new Legislature
in New York, Massa Chusetts, or
| Virginia the amendment may hays
better fortune. The Outlook, how
ever, hopes that it will not: for The
Outlook is opposed to an income tax,
ior several reasons, which may be
lriefy stated. First, taxation should
De laid upon property, and not upon
industry. An income tax leyied on
ucome derived from Investments
would be legitimate: an income tax
evied on income derived from in
lustry would, in our opinion, be
illegitimate. The primary object of
government is to protect persons and
property. The cost of production is
not in proportion to the industry of
the individual, but in proportion to
the value of the property of the in
dividual which is protected. Second,
an income tax bears unjustly on those
who are in receipt of incomes in the
form of salaries or wages. Such per-
sons know exactly what their income
is. Those whose income is derived
! from trade, commerce, or the pro-
fessions are uncertain as to their in
come, and are therefore almost Ger
tain to pay less proportionately than
salaried workers. Third, Mr.. Glad
stone is reported to have said that
an income tax makes nation of liars.
This is, of course, too strong a state
ment. But the experience of this
country during the Civil War demon
strated that an income tax does
promote the making of false returns,
and often encourages false swearing.
Fourth, the only way to avoid this
evil is by minute inquisitorial eXamin-
alton, such as is conducted by the
officials in Germany. Such an in
uusitorial examination is foreign to
the American practice and repugnant
to the feelings of Americans. 1t
never would be endured patiently in
this country if it were conducted with
impartial thoroughress. Fifth, tax
on real estate and a tax on corpora
tions would be d tax upon the largest
proportion of the invested property
in the country, and it is on invested
property that taxes should be levied.
In addition to such taxation, a stamp
tax on notes, checks, bills of ex-
change, and the like is simple, easily
collected, and not obnoxious or irk-
some to the taxpayer. This taxation,
with an adequate inheritance tax and
a customs tax. ought to be sufficient
for all the necessities of a govern
ment economically administered

the West Coast Magazine;

fields from concrete hued aqueducts

fallen to decay and disuse centuries

oblivion in years that antedate not

amendments proposed to the state
constitution be voted down in order
to secure the defeat of prohibition. 1t

sity three mill tax amendment will
suffer in consequence. We do not be-
heve the anti-prohibitionists would
adopt SO foolish plan. If generally
known it would tend to array in be-
half of prohibition the friends of ev-

the anti-prohibitionists undertake to
kill ali amendments in order to kill

TOO MUCH VERSE IN SCHOOL.
Practical Things More Important, New

Practical Things More Important, New
York's Superintendent Says.
(, NEW YORK. Sept-The public
schools devote too much time to the
reading of poetry these days, accord
ing to DR.. William H. Maxwell, super
intendent of schools, who has just put
before the school principals his annual
message of advice and instruction.
Shakespeare's works are particularly
unadapted to the grades, in the opin-
ion Of Doctor Maxwell. !. He. also. de-
precated the habit of giving involved
and complicated mathematical prob
lens and too little physical. training,
drilling in reading aloud and correct
pronunciation.
Il do not underrate the educational
advantage of verse;" said Doctor Max
well. "A few great narrative poems
that invariably appeal to children
such as Longfellow's 'Evangeline' and
Miles Standish' and SCOTS Lady of
the Lake are all right. And these
poems are much better adapted to the
elementary school than any of Shakes
peare's plays. A few good prose works
should not be neglected either, such
as Irving's Rip Van Winl1le,' while
books of travel and biographies of
great men should be familiar to pupils.
Franklin's Autobiography should be
read by every pupil in New York.
In our mathematical work bear in
mind that the long, complicated and
mere puzzle problems have no place in
school work. Short problems, as
nearly as possible like the operations
required in practical life, are what are
needed. At least five minutes in every
mathematical drill should be given to
rapid addition and fifteen minutes to
rapid mental arithmetic.
Il place high value on, drawing,
manual training, singing and sewing
and cooking, yet the most important
work you have to do is physical train
ing"

Barber Has Shaved the Poet for Years.
Yet Never Heard Him Speak.
One OF NJ. Edmond Rostand's most
fervent admirers is a sad and almost
despairing man. For years he has
felt like tearing his hair with morti-j
fication, and time only increases his
chagrin He is.the poets. barber, and
he has never heard the poet speak. He
has shaved him daily and cut his still
plentiful locks. weekly for years at
Cambo, but he has never managed to
make him open his lips He has
thrown out the most fetching snggess
tions, made the most lhdicrous obser-
vations, given the most exasperating.
hints that the conversational knowl-
edg5 of a barber can devise, but he
has never moved M. Rostand to words
either in interest, sympathy or rage.
The poet may have WINGED, frowneds
smiled, may even have shed tears at
the hairdresser's persistent efforts to
draw him. but he has never been
drawn, z.z.
One does not know which to admire
more in the chronological sense-the
tantalizing torment of the barber or
the heroism of the post, the poets
'suiferings, or the BARRIERS pertinacity.
Any stubbornly silent customer must
pain hairdresser; but the grief must
grow a millionfold when the customer
is M. Elmond Rostand.
The tortured barber of Camo suf-
fers the more because ether great men
have. spoken to him. When geniuses
go down to visit Monsieur Rostand
they get Monsieur Rostand's barber
to shave them; they speak to him and,
what is worse, speak to him of Mon
sieur Rostand. . Coquelin was shaved
by him and spoke to him. Signor Ga
;briele d'Aanunzio has been shaved
by him and has spoken to him. Mon
sieur Hostand alone is silent. The.
despairing barber, who has never been
to Paris, has made ups his mind to
come up the next time Monsieur Ros-
tand comes, and to force or worm his
way into duchesses' drawing rooms,
where he has been told that the poet
sometimes recites verses.-Paris Let
