TAXING BONDS AND
 EVIDENCE OF INDEBTEDNESS.

Two much discussed questions of the problem of taxation remain ap- parently as far from solution as ever and one at least of them is of much importance to the state itself. They are CD should a state tax its own bonds, and @ why should d state levy a tax on evidence of in- which is a double tax?
 There is no logic or sense iI taxing any bond whatever or any evi- dence of debt" forcefully declares the Hartford Courant, When a state taxes its own bonds it simply charges its creditor for the privilege .of lending his money to 1t. Isn't that ridiculous? We will borrow s3.- OOO.oOo from you and pay you 31z per cent interest. but We will charge you anywhere from 4 mills to per cent, according to circumstances for letting us have it. That's what 1t comes to and the reason for toler- ating such absurdities is that the state has the power.
 As for private indebtedness, tax ing that is equally illogical. Unless we start out with the notion that double taxation is just and fair or else that in taxing we have no idea of being just or fair, we cannot find any sound reason for taxing debts except that it has been done. No note is in itself worth any more than the paper it is written on. All that gives it value is the name or names upon it. You can go out to the aims house and get the oldest and feeblest lpauper out there to sign a note for million dollars. Likely he would do it for a paper of tobacco. When he had signed it. it would not be worth a cent You connot create property by stroke of the pen.
 i If Andrew Carnegie. for instance
 should endorse the pauper's note, il
 would at ono be worth the full mil
 lion. The reason is that Carnegie
 has actual valuable property witt
 which to make good when called upon to pay. That property is taxed and to tax both the property and in
 debtedness based on it Is double tax

 Aadero is in no position to force the Mexican national sovernment to capituiate aud come to the terms set by the insurgents. There is 2 dtspr ition now in the north and east of o.sr country to underestimate the stability of the staying power of the Mexican government and exaggerate the seriousness Of the losses it has suffered. just as previously the east erners ridieuled the insurgent move meut and under estimated its i'm portance. Any estimate of the Mex ican situation that fails to take due account of the essential strength of the government de facto and of it's reserve power is wide Of the truth.
 Madero has demonstrated that he. possesses a greater degree of control over his associates in the insurgent cause than was formerly conceded to him He has shown that he is per sonally courageous. and cautious in speech and act II he should be able to bring about substantial re forms in Mexico without further bloodshed, he would be entitled to amnesty and he would be properly enrolled among the popular heroes of liberty.
 But right now the supreme test is upon him If it be personal power or gain he seeks, he is doomed to defeat, losing all that his work so far has accomplished He has an opportunity to secure necessary and notable reforms for the masses Of me people. but to bring the govern ment to the point of concession it may be necessary for Madero U sink his own personal desires in the general good
 The Mexican government has ai- ready officially conceded the essential right of the political principles for which Madero and his adherents have been fighting. Therefore Amer ican sentiment may justly express itself in favor of substantial con sessions to the insurgent cause. But on the other hand, 1t cannot be de nied that the federal governments authority controls nearly everywhere. that the whole number of men in arms against the government is small compared with the population of the country. that there has been no gen eral uprising, and that the insurgents nave no civil government of fixed domicile and recognized authority.
 Attention of the insurgents may with propriety be once more di- rected to this truth, which has been previously stated by the Herald and which seems to us to be of para mount importance. namely. that arm. ed insurrection is useful only to ac- complish beneficial results. and to the extent that it isl directed against the government. against persons, or against authority, rather than against specific wrongs and abuses. to thai extent it is evil and destructive There is a sharp line of distinction; it will be we'll if Madero observes the line and takes care not to tres pass. For while just at the moment the government is in a mood to par ley for peace with substantial re forms. unsullied honor, and personal amnesty, the favorable moment mus soon pass, and the armed insurrec uon must then either end or bt crushed. The final result is not ir doubt-Madero is in no position tC coerce Diaz. and he ought now tS make sure of what he has won fol the people. and avoid making mis takes that can only mean fearfu

plicable to the poorer and more un- sophisticated portion of the people. just the class of people which the government aims to protect through it's postal savings system. Those ex. perienced In business were able to distinguish the wild cat banks from the legitimate and squaredealing hanks and their confidence in such banks is reflected in the banking institutions of the country, than which no country has stronger ones. But the good banks shared, in the unsophisticated mind the prejudice and distrust against the bad ones and suffered alike.
 The establishment of the postal savings system means that this money will be drawn into circulation to do it's work in the development of the country's resources. Whatever risk there is, is taken by the gov ernment. Money in a postal bank IS as safe as if it were invested in government bonds. Postal banks re ceive no deposits over a certain sum. The depositor then may place his money in a national or a state bank or he may invest it. The lit- tle saving bank is, in effect the little brown hen. It sets on the nest egg until it matches a chick; the chic becomes a hen and produces more eggs, and so on.
 It is a popular idea that foreign CTS in this country send their money back home to support relatives there or to bring a cousin" to this country. an operation that is re- peated ad infinitum, but investiga- ton has shown that a large part Of the money sent back to Europe by foreigners or Americans of foreign extraction, finds a place in the pos tai savings banks of the various countries of Europe
 The movement for the establish ment of postal savings banks has been a remarkable one. In no coun try where 1t has been tried has a single failure been scored against it. 1t has spread over Europe until now nearly every country has the institution in one form or another The following table will show tle rapidity with which the idea spread: Nfs.

An ODD ENDOWMENT
PhilanthrOpist Gives Kansas
College a Cemetery
In Time This Unique Gift Is *

Million Dollars to Bene-

Topeka, Kan--Nearly all colleges
have large endowments OF money, Sc
curities and real estate given by
friends and by people interested In
the cause Of education The funds are
all invested in bonds, stocks and real
estate, which do exceptionally well IL
they return more than five or six per
cent On the Investment Many re-
hgious organizations have similar en-
dowments. But Washburn college OF
Topeka and the Topeka Young Mems
and Young Women's Christian as
sociations have one of the most novel
endowments in the country. II is a
cemetery and as far as known this is
the only college in the United States
which numbers among its chief as

terry. Many churches have cemeteries,
but the Topeka 7. W. c. A. and Y. NJ.

sectarian religious organizations with
an endowment of this kind.

casting about for some plan Of invest
ment which would actually net the
greatest income to the three institu-
tons to which he desired to contrib

business ventures, bond and stock
returns and real estate investments
and finally decided upon a cemetery
as the best possible investment for
the college and Christian associations.

ment is expected to return to the col
lege and the two young peoples asso-

revenue from the sale of lots in the
cemetery are cut on.

to begin the Improvement work This
was four years ago and the permanent
improvement work Of the cemetery
has been going on ever since and VIII
continue forever. The property has
been decided to a board of trustees, of
which Mr.. Whiting is president and
also general superintendent Of the
cemetery. This board has been incor-
porated for 1000 years and it is bound
to maintain the cemetery forever. Ne
grave can ever be neglected, as under
the terms of the charter the board ia
compelled to set aside a certain part
of its revenue to go into a perpetual
care fund, the interest on this fund
being sufficient to care for the prop
erty.
The college and the Christian asso-
Citations receive two-thirds of the en-
tire sum obtained from the sale Of
lots in the cemetery, and they can
use the money for any purpose they
decide. No one except the actual work
ers in the cemetery receive a salary
and no dividends except to the col
Iege and Christian associations are
declared. The college receives about
one half Of the total amount received
from the sale Of lots. The Young
Women's Christian association re-
ceives the next largest share and the
z. n. c. A. the next division. All the
rest Of the money from the sale OF
lots and the amount received for open
ing. graves and caring for lots goes
into the perpetual care fund Of the
cemetery.

seed to SOW if the peas are sown in
this manner. When the stubble fields
are not clean and mellow, it will pay
to plow before seeding. The blowing
should be shallow-not to exceed
three and one-half inches in depth
and should be followed with har-
row to firm the soil. Rape may be
sown upon the plowed ground before
narrowing if the soil is not too lumpy,
but in most cases an additional har-
rowing will pay. Cowpea seed may
be sown after narrowing with a grain
drill as described above.
The large amount of seed required
and the high price per bushel of cow
pea seed prevents many farmers from
growing this excellent crop With
little additional labor, three-fourths of
the seed may be saved by planting
cowpeas in rows with corn planter.
The sixteen-cel1 edge drop planter
plate should be used. The notches
in the plate should be fled to make
the cells as large as possible. The
planter should be adjusted to drop the
seed every two or three inches in the
row. When planted in this way the
peas should be cultivated two or
three times. This method has the ad-
vantage over broadcasting of saving
seed and of giving a ranker growth
of peas in dry seasons. The New
Era cowpea is the best variety to SOW
for late pasture or green manuring.
