BY TAvENNER.
One OF the browning sins Of the
Congress which recently passed into
history was its failure 10 pass in
come or Inheritance tax legislation.
All OF the first class nations Of the
world have either an income tax or
an inheritance tax, and many have
both.
We now raise practically all ma
tional revenues by placing o tariff
tax on things eaten. worn or used
by the people. This system Ia un-
just because II requires the work
ingnan 20 pay not less than one
thousand per cent. more taxes in
proportion TO his income than q
millionaire.
Our protective system OF course
requires the millionaire TO pay tax
on that which he eats, wears or
uses, but il does not tax him TO the
extent OF one penny on his wealth.
Thus it might. and no doubt fire.
quently does, happen. that a section
hand on the railroad with q family
OF six or seven children pays more
toward running the national govern
ment. toward building battle ships
and maintaining them, toward keep
ing our standing army, than the mil
lionaire bachelor who is too proud
TO marry and raise children.
Presiden Taft, rnd President Taft
alone. must bear the brunt OF re-
sponsibility for the failure OF Con-
gress to tack an income tax provi-
sion on the Payne. Aldrich bill. A
majority OF both houses were favor
OF an income tax. Aldrich saw that
an income tax amendment would be
passed. and. as usual, appealed to
President Taft for aid.
The President knuckled absolutely
70 the will Of Boss Aldrich. urging
Congress to pass corporation tax
instead OF an income tax. To fool
and console the people the treach-
erous Aldrich then smilingly con-
sented to ratification OF q constitu-
tional amendment legalizing an in
come tax. we'll knowing that ways
could be worked out to thwart such
ratification. at least within the life
OF the present generation.
But there remains still another
chapter Of this Legislative swindle
that the American people ought 70
know about. AS an excuse for hav.
ing killed an income tax, President
Taft stated that the corporation tax
should contain o publicity clause
which would enable the government
and the people to secure information
about the working methods OF the
corporations. He held out the hope
this publicity clauss would make II
possible for the government to hold
the law breaking trusts responsible
in court for their acts.
So Congress passed the corpora.
ton tax, but iokered the people by
purposely failing to provide funds
for the handling Of data which would
come in under the publicity clause
Even this was not enough. Con,
gress, in the session just closed
completed the swindle on the pub.
lie by striking out the publicity fea
ture all togetherl And Mr.. Taft
himself had declared the publicity
clause was the most valuable fea
ture in the bill How long are thu
people going to stand for such
treachery as this2

worth noting: Representatives q

ing stoves to the people of this coun-
ty, were assessed by the county as
SCISSOR after much delay and trou-
BILE. They had several teams here
and other necessary equipments sell
ing stoves when Mr.. Fletcher APP
preached them and asked that they
pay taxes. They replied that they
have never been assessed in any
other county and expressed them
selves as having been imposed ppon,
when Mr.. Fletcher told them that he
only wished to know If they had ever
been compelled to pay taxes and as
they answered to the contrary he
appraised their property at $4,000,
and demanded the taxes which they
paid this morning, amounting to
1896.

For this reason alone every farmel

the illustrated lecture to be giver
at the Gem theatre on next Monday
evening by Mr.. q. e. Barcley Of Bal
morhea, Texas. He will explain In
detail the superior advantage Of rails
ing alfalfa in a semi arid region
plentifully supplied with pure water
/ for irrigation. In Toyah Valley,
Texas, alfalfa grows like weed"
are the words Of Prof. Wellborn OF
the Texas experiment station. This
~, ored land, sit0ated IS miles south
vest Of Pecos, Texas, produced seven
and one-haIf tons of. alfalfa per acre
| this season.
At the present time the price in
Toyah Valley is SIS per ton. One
producer operating so acres this year
has sold $4,000 worth Of hay at or
about the time Of curing, at an aver
age price of about $12 per ton; he
has ON hand 100 tons worth SIS a
ton and has rented his winter pasture
for SIS per acre per month, yielding
$1,000. Taking out the cost Of pro-
duction, harvesting and baling, this
land has netted him more than $65
per acre this season. II the crop
had been held for the present high
price. 1t would have increased his
income several thousand dollars; nor
is it claimed that this is an unusual
yield.
The alfalfa counties of Kansas
have been selected as place to offer
this land for sale, and the farmers
here are fortunate to have the oppor-
tunity before them to buy 1t. The
soil there contains much humus, the
result Of decayed vegetation, and it
is well stocked with carbonate OF
lime, in itself builder of soils con-
tinuously, and a thing which alfalfa
loves.
The farmer there is not bothered
by dews, which blast the leaves and
rains which make proper curing diff
ficult-his nights are not disturbed
by thoughts of how to get rid Of
crab grass and gophers, two of the
pests in Kansas. There is no uncer-
tain factor in raising alfalfa there ex-
cept the varied intelligence and skill
Of the farmer himself
The Swenson Land Co. of Chicago,
which is offering this land for sale
Is well experienced in the land
business and makes 1t policy to de-
veIop for the settler and Investor
not for the Spectator. 1t is their
purpose to assist the buyer in de-
velopment whether he intends to
make a home or simply to place his
where 1t Will yield large
return.
On February list, the private car
Louise. belonging to this company,
will leave Wichita to visit this land,
