TAXATION, DIRECT AND INDIRECT.

~ FORGE l.. RECORD, who is a single taxer, declares that
WS7 competition must be restored, except for railroads, express
business. telephone. telegraph and local public utilities, gas,
electric light, water and trolley service. These are natural monop-
olies. The remedy, he afirms, is the abolition of all Indirect taxes,
all public revenues. national, State, county and municipal to be OBJ
tanned by direct taxation. But Mr.. Record evidently does not in
.quire how far his rigid rule would go. Tariff duties are in
direct taxes on the people. Would he abolish the custom house!
Nearly all special taxes. such as those for corporations and for
liauor licenses. are indirect taxes on the people, for in the last
ANALYSIS they pay The tax. But the truth is, there can be no one
strict rule in taxation, national, State and municipal. Throughout
the Itnited States The governmental systems of States and munich
lalities are of a varied character. They could not be uniformly
alike. for a system that may be suitable to one State or municipality
max not be suited to another; perhaps a more logical proposition Is
to Jet each municipality, IS we'll as each State, adopt the taxing
system that suits it best.

Il MNAMARA coMMITTEe ~sTATEMENT.

ca He statement put forth by the Mcnamara ways and means
committee of The American Federation of Labor might well
have been withheld until all the facts connected with the
case were brought to light. The Federal government, as well as the
State, is now engaged in Investigations to discover how far the oper-
ations of the McNamaras extended, and who, if any, were implicated
in their systematic crimes. Vague statements that have been made
affecting certain labor leaders are not accusations, and are not taken
seriously. The public knows how to discriminate in such matters,
and 1t makes allowances for distempered talk under such circum-
stances. A little patient waiting for vindication would have been
better for the members of the committee than a long statement at
this time, much of which is not well Judged.

Deplore. Russian outrage..

the Editor of the Evening Star:
There has been a lot Of talk recently
the abrogation of the treaty between
the United States and Russia because
of the refusal of Russian authorities to
recognize passports rendered by Amer
lean citizens of Jewish faith. That this
is outrageous is obvious, and that q
country that tolerates a condition OF
this sort is spineless and not deserving
OF the name of the land of the free
and home of the brave" is also true.
But there are other matters of equal
Importance that we lear nothing about,
matters hat are more outrageous, more
despicable. It Is a matter of common
knowledge that periodic massacres
break out In Russia, and yet not one
nation in all this universe does any
thing to stop these relics of ~barbarous
days. There are no indignation meet
ings such as the one held in New York
the other night. There are no United
States senators oil congressman to take
up the cudgels in behalf of the MUIR
dered men and m
Fight for the passport by all means,
but first of all fight to prevent murder.

NATIVE M FOREIGN BORN IN NEW YORK.

IT T will not do to say that New York is a foreign city" as some
newspapers in other cities have affirmed. A preliminary census
statement shows that the population is almost equally divided
between native and foreign born, the native constituting 576 per
cent, but vet there are 2741,504 nativebOrn, which is far in excess
of the total population, native and foreign born, of any other Amer
lean city. Since the census of 1900 the percentage of foreign-born
has increased 5 per cent. The enormous immigration, chiefly from
Russia and Italy, during the decade accounts for this increase. If
there is 10 considerable falling off in this immigration during the
present decade the percentage of foreignborn will decline. All the
children born of the immigrants of the last ten years will go to
reinforce the percentage of nativeborn.

"WHO GETS THE REST?"

oTa HE secretary of agriculture says in his annual report: THE
consumer pays a dollar for food, the farmer gets less than
fifty cents for it. Who gets the rest?" The statement that
more than so per cent. of the value of the crops of the nation goes to
the railroads and the middlemen is official. Could there be a
grarer statement made in a state paper? And the secretary vaguely
queries: "Who gets the rest?" There have been congressional in
yestigations without results. Little enough interest in the subject
has been paid by the administration, except to invent reasons that
nobody believes in. We know that both the producer and consumer
are victimized. We know that combinations of forestaHers and mid.
dlemen exist. One fact explains the other. And why should such
conditions long endure in a country like ours?

A Farm FOR RAILWAY CONVICTS.

PTS HE State could not make IL better investment than a 500acre
farm for The Railway Reformatory, as recommended by the
raformatory superintendent. Few of the young men in
mates of the prison come from the agricultural class and many
of Them might have been exemplary citizens if they had learned to
ill the soil. City associations and temptations made them Grim
mails. Farm work would help their reformation and probably IN
many eases convert them into worthy agriculturists. 1t is the
ideal work for prison labor. The health of the convict is better by
outdoor labor and SO are his morals, while the labor is remunerS
tive for the State. On a 5O0acre farm and under good manage
ment enough can be produced to make a handsome income toward
paying the cost of prison maintenance. 1t might be a rule for the
reformatory that no parole should be given until the convict had
been we'll trained in farm labor, as a matter of education.

Before Joe O'Brien, the newly-ap-

Giants, flashed suddenly into baseball
as president of the American Associa-
ton he was a lawyer in Milwaukee and
was little known to baseball club own
ers. as4z af
Charles j. Strobel, then owner of the
Toledo club, was not at the meeting
when O'Brien was elected and did not
know him. On the first trip O'Brien
made around the circuit he landed in
Toledo one day when the Louisville
club was playing there. Strobel had a
deadly horror of the free list and would
as soon give his right arm as issue a
pass.
O'Brien came up to the gate intro
duced himself and started to walk in.
Strobel, who was standing near the
gate. stopped him and refused to ac-
cept O'Brien's word hat he was the
president of the association. O'Brien
was just about to give up in disgust
and buy a ticket when George Tebeau.
of the Louisville club, came along and
identified him. O'Brien, by the way,
never forgave Strobel and succeeded in
forcing him out of the association a
year later.

wider walks for Park.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
In view of the number Of people who
use the walks through Military Park
going to and from the PS~k place
terminal of the new short line, IL has
become apparent that these pavements
should be widened. After the recent
snow-storm pedestrians were pushed
from the cement walk into the piles of
snow on the sides when the traffic be-
came heavy. The difficulty could be
remedied temporarily if the people
would walk in single file in either d.
rection.
This practise will not be adopted.
however, and, as the necessity of a
wider stone walk is imperative, the i'm
provement should be made at nee.
