TAX PLACES BEYOND REACH
Object Lesson for the People 10 the
High TarIff on WOODEN
Products.

The use OF wooden blankets In the
United States has steadily diminished
until the average for each family now
is just half what it was in 1860, says
the Wall Street Journal, and this IL
attributed to the excessive cost result
ing from the high tariff on wool. In
so years the population has increased
200 per cent. while the combined manu-
facture and Importation Of blankets
has increased only so per cent. Thir-
ty-one million people purchased H.
1856 squar yards Of blankets IN
1860, and $500, 900 people bought 49,
$50. 900 square yards In 1910. +,
Anybody who will take the trouble
to trace the progress of the wooden In
dustry will discover that from the
very outset Of the republic It has
never stood upon It's W legs without
tariff props" says the Wall Street
Journal. $50 early as 1915 It got .
bonus of Is per cent, then 30 per
| cent. 40 per cent. and 50 per cent.
(tarif Of 1882, when the country,
sick Of being continually taxed for q
losing industry, let 1t down gradually
to bonuses OF A per cent. 40 per
cent. 3s per cent. - per cent. and ID
per cent. (tariff Of 1850. There the
wooden manufacture rested until the
Civil war and army contracts enabled
1t to be boosted up again. At present
the bonuses on blanket and some
other wooden exotics are supported by
a scale Of duties which has scared VI
to 1872 per cent. ad valorem.
The result was the substitution d
the cotton comforter which canno'
be washed and is a well recognized
purveyor of typhoid and other dis

In 1886 George Schleder. . German
emigrant from the Moselle country,
died, leaving about one and three

In 1864 Andreas Joas, Schleder's SON

COURT IN HARD CASE
SUPREME TRIBUNAL CONFRONT
Ed WITH PROBLEM.
Enforcement Of Law Against the
Trusts 10 Matter for sedate Judg-
meneCommon Sense View
Of the Matter.

When two are in a fight there Is a
type of citizen who stands at the edge
of the crowd and shouts, Let me get
at him" One sees a likeness to this
safely belligerent person in most of
the critics who do not like the way
the Supreme court has tackled the
trust problem. One wonders what
these critics would do If the crowd
parted and really did let them get at
him."
To drop the rowdy metaphor, 1t is
probable that the Supreme court itself
is O satisfied with its decision. The
court was very frankly not clear what
should be done. But If the courts po-
sition is admittedly indefinite, how
completely nebulous is the alternative
offered by the critics.
To say that the law should be en-
forced against trust lawbreakers rs 1t
Is against individual l~awbreakers Is to
make a noise like sounding brass and
tinkling cymbals. Everybody accepts
the law enforcement theory. There ia
mere sound and tinkle again In Aeclar'
ing that the trusts should be de-
stroyed, no one from the chief Justice
down knowing precisely what a trust
is. And SO there Is the reminiscence
of the cracking of thorns under a poi
in the demand that the trust leaders
be put In jail. Put them in jail, cor
daily; but, after they are there. how
will hat fact help the solution o.
pressing economic problems?
Where the court appears to mucl
better advantage than its c%ensurers l
In this, that the court apparently rea
Lies that 1t has faced and still face
a big problem and that the end is no

any one Judgment, or. indeed, in an,
one period.
Some constructive criticism of tn
court also may have evinced this ret
lization; but 1t is moi to be found 1
the bulk of the criticism which n
solves itself simply into the demand
BUST the Trusts"
From the standpoint Of the optimist
May 1t not be considered hopefl
when judges Of a high court take col
nizance of facts and conditions who's
existence all other intelligent person
recognize? Has 1t not been urge
with force against the body OF OF
Jurisprudence that it holds too clos

criticism cannot be leveled 1t Il

Clever RUSE TO
ESCAPE THE TAX

Chicago, April ia clever ruse
adopted by manufacturers and dealers
in oleomargarine has cost the gov.
ernment 100000 in Chicago alone
during the last year, according to a
statement made yesterday by Samuel
NJ. Fitch, collector of internal reven'
ue.
incidentally Mr.. Fitch declared that
through Misrepresentation the public
has been buying lower grade of oleo'
margarine, upon which there is no
tax, than the colored product upon
which the manufacturers must pay a
tax of 10 cents a pound.
Last year we issued 7O5 licences
in Chicago and thus far this year only
209," he said. This shows rather
plainly that something is wrong. A
new product with a natural tint is be-
ing made on which there is but three
quarters of a cent tax. 1t was bad
enough when the 'moonshiners' color
ed the stuff in dirty filthy places, but
to sell a poor grade staff at prices de-
manded for the high grade product is
about the limit"
