Professor Emerson also spoke Of the

work Of the so-called I. W. W., especially
that at Lawrence. lie said the contest did
not have for its real object increased

The object is to keep up a constant pres

Professor Thomas spoke on Fabian

more immediate origin to the late Thomas

School OF Philosophy Or. Davdson's
philosophy Of life was described at some
length and special attention called to its
essential individualism. And Yet It was
intended to serve as basis for n certairf

supports and you pull down the struc-

PENSIONS AND MORE TAXES.
(From the New York Trrb,


The speech on pension legislation which
Senator Cummins made last Monday con-
tatns a suggestion which the Senate ought
to heed If ii passes general pension bill
at this session. Mr., Cummins said that
in favoring larger pensions he was not
greatly influenced by merely fiscal con-
s'derations. He thinks that we are able
to do what We ought 10 do. whether In do
ing II We add to our appropriations "
millions, " millions or 10 millions" But
IN difference to the opinions OF those who
have pointed out that the governments
revenues are not large enough 10 meet an
extra annual draft of either 10 millions or
~ millions lie is wiling to concede that
Congress ought to impose new taxation
at the same time that II votes larger
pensions.
The senator from Iowa is little mys-
terious about the sort of new taxation
winch he favors levying. lie says that
the present ordinary income of the gov
eminent Is practically all obtained by
taxation 'on the consumption OF the pso-
PIE he naturally shrinks from increas-
ing that sort OF taxation. confessing
frankly: III ! believed that to increa sc
pensions, or to add to the expenditures OF
any other iield OF expenditure would. az
consequence. require us to stiil further
tax the consumption OF the people, and
especially OF the poor people. l would
