BANKRUPTCY LAW.

NJ X. LOUIS STARR, wide awake merchant OF
\ Boston sends The Journal a letter suggest
ing remedy for the alleged misuse Of our
present Federal bankruptcy law. He thinks that
the law should be so amended that an individual
or hrm that becomes financially embarrassed in
business may, by petition Of creditor, or by vol
untary act, become the direct subject Of the court
This plan, Mr. Starr thinks would do away with
all the demoralizing and costly red tap procedure
lawyers keepers and receivers who absorb, Mr.
Starr says, the bulk Of the assets which should
so to the creditors"
In another column we print the letter in full
and The Journal thinks many of its suggestions
are valuable The only way that the procedure
can be changed is for the business men to be-
come aroused and demand a change.
The receivershp abuse has long been crying
evil There is hardly business man who cannot
recall instances in which the court expenses thc
fees OF receivers and lawyers eat up the assets and
the creditors get little or nothing. Business men
have been, it seems, powerless TO protect them
selves from this general plucking. In some cases
lawyers are appointed receivers and these re-
ceivers engage other lawyers as their counsel
There are many and useless delays. The courts
usually allow the receivers and counsel much high
er compensation than they should have and there
is little left for creditors.
For that reason creditors will 90 to almost any
extent to prevent a concern that may owe them
from falling into the hands of receivers. The re-
ceivers receive in many instances about every
thing that is in sight unless the concern has 50
many assets that they cannot be dssipated
We wish Mr. Starr abundant success in his
undertaking TO arouse the business men of the
country to demand reform in some manner similar
to that suggested by him. He has started a move
ment which will have the hearty approval Of busi-
ness and commercial men who have long com.
planned Of the abuses of receverships abuses
which they have been unable to remedy

that a lot of serious persons are
shaking their solemn heads and won-
dering what We are going TO do with
'em all One OF our oldest inhabitants
when somebody said something 10 him
about q New York Of ten millions,
uttered the plous ejaculation, Not in
my time. good Lordi" It is reassuring
to think, however, that even in the
life ot good Queen Elizabeth they had
the same niisgiviugs about London
and were wondering II nothing could
be done to stop the drift cltyward
and turn people back TO the land
According to the final recapitula-
tion we have three OF the ten biggest
towns in the world, which are Lon

delphia and Moscow. Besides, in ad-
ditiOn TO twenty-five cities which have

INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

1T is hardly probable that the coming session
u of the Delaware Legislature will ratify the IN
come tax amendment to the constitution. It looks
as If ratification of the amendment which would
restore 20 the Government the authority II held be-
fore 1895 and which had not been serious cues
ton for many years before, would not be accom-
plished.
The ratification of the amendment does not mean
the adopting of an income tax, but il means that
the Government shall have power TO levy such
tax if it becomes necessary. Some states through
their Legislatures have supported the amendment.
few have not. 1t takes only few to defeat the
amendment
Although the Democratic National Convention
declared in favor of an income tax, and it is
doctrine Of the party as officially expressed the
recent Democratic State Convention refused TO
approve even the amendment making such tax
possible. AT the meeting Of the Democratic State
Committee there was only one vote in favor OF a
plank in the platform declaring for the amend
mcnt And yet the Democratic State Committee
proicssed and pretended TO be a body representing
the Democratic party OF the State.
The Republican convention did not consider the
matter seriously so far VIC know. 1t should have
done because the proposed amendment came
from a Republican congress and is approved and
urged by Republican president We have never
heard a valid reason why the amendment should
not be approved. Several lawyers said at the
Democratic Committees meeting something about
the constitution and all that and gave various other
excuses which of course are not in accordance with
the views OF majority of the leaders Of the ma
uonal party. Only yesterday Eliot M. Shepard
who is a candidate for senator from New York and
who has been spoken Of very friendly to the in
ierssis, declared himself in favor of the income
tax
We think that on this question neither the Re-
publican nor the Democratic State convention of
Delaware properly represented the people of this
state II the question Of the ratification or rejec-
ton OF the income tax amendment we're put 20
vote OF the people the amendment would we
think, be accepted.
At the last session Of Congress it was deter.
mined to levy a tax on wealth. This decision found
expression in the law taxing corporations. A much
better tax would have been an income tax be-
ealse i would have taxed wealth more directly and
without discrimination.

rEpERAL BANkRuPTCY Ian.
Boston Merchant Suggests That il he
Amended for the Relief Of
Business Men.

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The policy Of your publication has
always been for advancing the inter-
ests OF business men In all American
enterprises, therefore | write you
trusting you may grant space in your
columns for this suggestion as a rem
edy for the misuse of our present
Federal bankruptcy law
The present law should be amend
ed, so an individual or firm that De-
comes financially embarrassed in
business, may. by petition of cred
itor, or by voluntary act. become ohe
direct subject of The court. This
would eliminate all the demoralizing
and costly go-between red tape pro-
cedure of greedy lawyers, keepers and
receivers who absorb the bulk of the
assets which should 90 to the cred
itors.
In almost every instance the in
dividual or firm summoned to the
court can pay 10 per cent. at once
upon all liabilities, which is all usu-
ally received by the creditors after
mouths Of delay under the present
system Then at the discretion Of
the court an cXtention Of time may be
