Especial Washington Correspondent of
this Newspaper)
Washngton March 1S-Will II be
possible To transfer the $53,00O.00O SUI
gar tax from the breakfast table to
the shoulders of the rich? Are the
people sufficiently in control to ac-
complish this end?
These questions are being asked ev-
erywhere The status of the situa-
tion Is this:
The Democratic House, true to its
promise to reduce the cost OF living
in this country, will at this session
pass bill repeating the $53,OO0,OO0
tax on sugar and other taxing in
comes In excess OF $1,000.
The bills will go TO a Republican
senate. II the progressive republicans
vote with the Democrats, both bills
viii pass the upper body.
Tho fate of the two measures will
then rest with the president. If Mr..
Taft accepts the advice of those about
him, who were described by the late
Senator Dolliver as being men who
know exactly what they want" he
will veto the bills.
Protectionists oppose an income tax
for two reasons: /. They are rich as
"A class and like other humans have
nc desire to pay more taxes than nee
esyary. ?. PrOtectionists know that
n this country, like Great Britain.
France, Holland. Switzerland, New
Zealand, Australia, Denmark and
many others, gets into the habit Of
raising revenue by taxing wealth in
stead OF the things the people must
have I'm order TO live, their tariff tax
which gives them monopolies on the
particular commodities in which they
deal, will be reduced, which would
be damaging to the nice fat dividends,
particularly to such american indus
tries" as the sugar trust, the steel
trust, the woolen trust, the harvester
trust and Mr. Rockefeller's oil trust.
High proteetlonist politicians receive
lstupendous sums as campaign funds
from the tariff trusts, and money is
! q mighty handy thing IN campaigns.
The income tax is n menace to tbe
citadel of high protection, 80 why
should .protectionlsts countenance an
income tax?'
Breaking Away from Tradition.
The greatest importance OF the
democratic program providing for the
labolition of the sugar tariff and the
imposition of tax on incomes in
excess of $1,000 is that it breaks away
from the tradition that the govern
ments income must OF necessity be
derived wholly from the things the
Ipeople eat, wear or use. a tradition
(which has been responsible for wealth
not bearing its just proportion OF the
burden Of federal taxation, and a
tradition which has been responsible
for so many tariff outrages through Sc
many years. Regardless OF whether
the bill is vetoed by President Taft
there Is little question that the Demo
Gratis have opened the way for its en-.
aotment when another man is In the
White House.

Would Divide the County.

The rumor has been circulated in
DEBORAH and elsewhere for some time
past, that an attempt to divide the
county would be made before the
next legislature. We have been un-
able to secure definite authority for
this rumor, but the report is that
this is caused by the fact that the
southern part of the county is over
whelmingly in favor of the open sa-
loon, in some precincts practically
100 per cent, while the northern part
is nearly as strongly opposed to it.
We think there is no occasion for
anyone to become unduly exercised
over the matter, as such things are
not easily done, and there is very lit
tie prospect of it being accomplished
in this case.

AL. Palzer, the now famous Win

to have bout of much importance
at Los Angeles, Cal, in the near fut-

at Los Angeles last night, and a con-
tract is in force between McCarey,
manager of the Pacific Athletic club,
and Tom O'Rourke, Palzer's manager
for the latter to meet the winner on
New Years day. If the match comes
off it will be determining one for
PalZer, in fact the most important
one he has had, except possibly the
one in which. he knocked out Bonn
barber Wells, the Englishman.

ISOLATION at West Liberty.

West Liberty, Iowa, Dec. 9.-No-
table among the features of the an
nual meeting of the Southeastern
Iowa Horticultural society which
closed here yesterday, was the seed
less apple produced and exhibited by
George Eden of Lone Tree. The fruit
was perfect in shape and possessed
an agreeable taste.
Some of the fruit bears a small
seed pod at the blossom end similar
TO the naval orange, but other speci-
mems are as solid as the remainder
of the apple. The tree from which
the fruit was taken is expected to
bear well as it becomes older. Mr..
Eden also exhibited a remarkable
Seeding apple, specimen larger thar
a Jonathan and of similar color and
which grew from the seed of gnarly
wild crab.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ABOUNDS.
Annual Rush Preceding Christmas is
on i'm Earnest and Everybody
is Busy.

The Christmas spirit is in the air
and whether one approves or disap-
proves of the hurry and excitement
incident to the coming Of the great
festival he may as well accept it
gracefully, for he will hear Christmas
and Christmas presents discussed for
the next two weeks.
The stores are daily filled with
shoppers and much buying is being
done. Extra clerks have been engag-
ed to wait on the people and the
stores have been decorated in a style
that might satisfy Santa Claus him
self.
The charity organizations are up to
their eyes in work preparing to bring
Christmas cheer to the poor of the
city. This is the annual custom of
several organizations and it might be
said that the persons who interest
themselves in this phase of Christmas
work experience more of the real
joys of Christmas than any other
class. 1t is a labor of love, love for
humanity, and love of Him who came
in rags and poverty to rescue human
ity. So it is, while the workers are
swamped with cares they neverthe-
less get enjoyment out of the rush of
the days preceding 1.-The greatest ev-
ent in history"
The choirs of the churches and the
Sunday school children are rehears-
ing the Christmas music and Christ
mas programs to precede the day.
The schools, too, are preparing pro-
grams to be given before the dismis-
sal for the Christmas vacation, and
in fact there is hardly an avenue of
trade, study or charity into which
the Christmas spirit has not already
entered.

Chinese Laundry in DEBORAH.

A couple of Chinese laundrymen
were up from Oelwein a few days
ago looking for location for laun-
dry, and expressed themselves so well
pleased with DEBORAH that they would
come here, we understand. They
have not yet rented building, but
expect to be here in a short time to
find a location and open up. They
are thoroughly. Americanized, that
is, as thoroughly as a Chinaman can
be.

Saving Steps.

The modern housewife knows that
time and strength must be saved If
she is to perform all of her duties. To
economic both she should have on
hand a tray to take with her on her
first trip to the cupboard as she starts
to prepare a meal. On it she can
place everything that she will need
for her cooking, thus saving many
trips to and fro. She can use the
tray also in setting the table, and
clearing it, and she will find her work
considerably lightened.

| The city council today entered into
stipulation with Messrs. Bows, Smith.
Reed and Cook to accept an amend
ment to their power rate ordinance,
whereby the minimum charge of SIS
per year per horse power Of rated ca
I pacity of motors installed is to be re-
duced to s12 per annum.
| This proposal came from the fran
as their electrical expert had found
when he completed a thorough investi-
CATION of the character of the power
business in this city. that they could
charge.
The SIS per annum minimum at
fecred the rate only on motors which
were used to their full capacity-one
hour or less per day-when the mini
mum would have served TO increase the
nominal rate per X. ". AS it is to be
the minimum of s12 per annum will
affect only the rate on motors used for
an average Of much less than one hour
per day.
rate is lower than the Darling fran
chise rate on all kinds of consumption
and il is lower than the Hull ordinance
rate on use Of the motor averaging
from two to four hours per day, and
always lower than the present Jones
& Hovey rate on all except the first
hours average use Of the motor per
day. which Is about the same.
On a three horse power motor the
new rate is lower than the present
Jones & Eovey rate wherever the mo-
tor runs more than one hour per day;
lower than the Darling rate where the
motor averages anything less than
eight hours per day, and about the
same as the Hull ordinance rate,
sometimes lower and sometimes high
er.
On large installations the new rate
is still lower than the present Jones &
Hovey rate on all average use beyond
one hour per day, but il is not so low
as either the Darling franchise or Hun
ordinance rates. However. these peo-
ole in Cedar Rapids and Boone MAKE
special competitive rates to large con-
sumers, based upon the special aver
age use in each shop, which they have
to do in order to get the business away
from the private power plants.

| motors Of different sizes, running diff
ferenr hours OF average use per day,

who will study it.
