PEFORuS. TAXES, STRIKES

Among the causes Of the almost I'M
precedente1 epidemic of discomfort and
unrest which is reducing the industrial
world of the United Kingdom to some
thing approXimating chaos il will prob
ably be judicious TO give conspicuous
place TO the increase of taxation. How
great this has been In the last few years
is TO be- seen from the fact that in 1901
% the last Tnionist year the total ma
tional expenditure was about $4,000,
600, while In the current year IT Is 500
OOOO0O. In other words. there has been
an increase Of $1JO,O00.OOO or 1915 per
cent. In eight Years That must be felt
by pretty nearly every workiuglnan IN
the kingdom. True. the additional taxes
which are needed TO meet this increased
expenditure may he levied directly on
laud or buildings or other property or
who are thus mucted recoup themselves
in great measure by raising the rentals
paid by their tenants. or the prices paid
BY purchasers of commodities, so that in
the end the poor man pays heavy pro-
portion. Those who strike for higher
wages to meet the higher cost Of living
NAV not, however. realize that behind
that higher cost stand the taxes which
were levied largely at their own demand
and supposedly for their own benefit.
If. then. the taxes are cause of the
strikes. what is the cause of the increase
in taxesl II is 10 be borne in mind that
the increase has occurred under Liberal
and almost Radical rule, and thus under
q pledge Of economy; also, let us add,
under pledge TO effect sweeping social
reforms. In measure both pledges
have been kept. There has been economy
i'm certain directions, notably in that of
national defence SO that, as The Spec
tator," Of London. has recently reminded
its readers, the total military expendi-
ture, from both loans and estimates, Is
only $3GOOOO,000 this year, against $685.
100000 in the last financial year Of
Unionist administration, eight years ago.
Obviously, then, the increase in expendi-
lures cannot be charged against mill
tarism. The government has also kept
its pledge of social reform and has estab-
lished old age pensions. the public feed
ing of school children and numerous
other systems which are ostensibly for
the benefit Of the masses Of the people,
but which cost many millions year.
The government makes no secret of the
fact that the increase of expenditures is
due chiefly TO the cost of these reforms.
The government apparently has acted
upon one Of two theories-either that It
could collect additional taxes from the
rich without having any additional bur
den fall upon or be felt by the poor. or
that Its reforms would be 50 beneficial
and would be so gratefully received that
people would not object to paying for
them in higher taxes. The former the

GENERAL oROzCO's COMPLAINT

The complaint OF the Mexican insur-
gent leader, General Orozco against the
United States on account OF its alleged
favoritism toward the Madero admins
tration is obviously inspired chiefly by
our governments prohibition of the eN-
portation Of arms and ammunition 10 his
followers. II Is admitted by the insur-
gents that the strict enforcement of this
policy is seriously crippling them in
their operations. Had it not been for
their lack Of ammunition, they say, they
would have checked the federal advance,
and they bitterly characterize this atti-
tude Of the United States rs eminentIy
unfair.
In that they are wrong. The prohibi-
tion of shipments Of arms aud ammuni-
ton TO the insurgents is in perfect ac-
cord with the long established principles
Of our government. which we have re-
peatedly maintained on other occasions
at great cost to ourselves and even in

orv. if it was cherished, involved what Is
practically an economic impossibliity'
The second has proved TO be equally IL
lusory. at least for the time. lt may De
that the reforms will benefit the work
ing people. indeed. that the! have al
ready begun TO do so But the unuls-
guisable fact is that the very people who
we're or are TO be most benefited by them
are now striking, consciously or uhcoh-
eciously. against the expense or putting
them into practical operation. The gov
ernment has not yet persuaded them
that the social reforms are worth whal
they cost. That does not, of course, con
denim the principle of the reforms II
does indicate the difficulty of efectlnS
such reforms. and particularly of dong
so hastily and in sweeping manner.
New-York tribune., 1912-06-01

Gases in which American sympatnles
were Overwhelmingly on the SIDE OF tne
insurgents TO whom aid was th'ls re-
fused and it is similarly. in accord win
reason and logic. The principle was laid
down long ago. by Thomas Jefferson,
tIot the citizens Of this country were
privileged 10 engage in the manufacture
and sale of munitions of war 10 recos-
nized belligerents, subject. OF course, 10
perils of interception and capture as
contrahand But there IL a radical dif-
ference between recognized belligerents
and unrecognized insurgents. General
Orozco can make no convincing plea for
the recognition of his followers as bel
ligerents. They do not fulfil the condi-
tions which are generally regarded as
essential to the establishment of that
status. Until they do win recognition
by establishing themselves in such a
status they cannot reasonably expect TO
enjoy the privileges which flow from IT.
It is consistent and logical policy
which the United states Is pursuing In
this matter. and II is also--though this
selfish motive is not the highest of all
one which strongly comports with our
own interests If we were to adopt the
policy of supplying munitions to all In
surgents who might arise along the Dor
der we should have an almost incessant
condition of disorder there, to our own
great disquiet and no little peril. In re-
fusinc such supplies TO rebels we are
maintaining the salutary and impregna-
BILE proposition that only actually recog-
nized belligerents are entitled to the
privileges of such. and that Of course 1t
rests with this government to determine
for itself whom il will or will not recog-
nze In that status. in such circum-
stances the complaint that we are favor
ing the lawful government Of Mexico
against the rebels whom It is trying TO
suppress is really y tribute to our faith
ful performance Of duty under interna
tional law and under the rules of our
own long established practice.
