The income Tax.


TO the Editor OF The Times:
AS tax On privilege, an income
tax is justlfiab!e and for that reason
only. IL is usually defended as the
best method by which every indiyid
ual will contribute to the support or
the government IN proportion TO his
ability. The levying OF any tax on
that basis Is as unreasonable as 10
charge man rent for his hotel room
In proportion 10 his ability. The only
right and just basis Is for each to pay
In proportion TO benefits 9 received.
Iarins and taxes on manufactured
goods violate both OF these principles
TAX on the value OF land Is the
IDEAL method, especially for local tax
alton. All the advantages OF Detroit
as residence and business city are
reflected In the value OF the land

create. Buildings and other improve

be exempt as are values created by
the individual. belonging TO him. Land
values are created by society, and
should be levied on for the funds TO

ment TO the state and county budgets
and divide the total among the cities
and townships i'll proportion to popu-
iation. Here Il would be collected
from the land values. BY bringing
about this change gradually, time
would be given for business and III
vestments to adjust themselves.

Remembering the Houses.

Ia the Editor Of The Times:
The merits of the proposed change
in numbering the houses are evident.
The disadvantages should also be
considered Among them may be
mentioned the obligation TO dlsuse the
old and install the new numbers up
on over one hundred thousand build
ings. This will entail considerable
trouble and expense and, with bust.
ness houses, would include many
changes in stationery and advertis-
ing. In the item OF delay in delivery
OF correspondence there might be
quite an objection. as IL would be i'm
possible to advise all correspondents.
before making so widespread
change let us think OF the result.
Probably we all wish to be progress
sive.' but muse realize that every
change is not a betterment, and the
may outnumber the
benefits. We can be certain that they
remembering will cause large num-
Der OF persons bother and outlay. The
fact that some other cities have
adopted this plan is no evidence that
the citizens have been helped or that
they are satisfied with the change. In,
cities where the zone system Is in usa
ii is as customary TO use the name of
nearest intersecting street, as In
other cities numbered consecutively
like Detroit. Let us avoid unneces-
sary trouble without corresponding
gain. The experience of the city, in
establishing the zone system of time,
has demonstrated the fact that IL is
difficult to change a fixed condition
or order OF things.

DEPENDING ON TAINTED" VOTES

CHICAGO, June 21-Fifty-siX years
look down upon the Republican party
today.
In convention assembled more than
a thousand representatives of that
party are facing the greatest crisis
since the birth of the Republican party
in this very city in 1856. They are
to determine whether the Republicans
party is to be purged of those who
have dishonored it or whether to sub
nit to infamy SO black that the
American people will refuse to allow
it longer to exist.
If the convention is allowed to nom
the party is doomed and the NOMINEES
would be buried in an avalanche of
disguised votes in November. There
is but one safe course for the party
to follow if it will live. That is to rid
its rolls of all evidence of fraud and
political chicanery.
If a majority of the cony entiOn as
made up by padded roll will not con-
sent TO have its honor protected, then
those delegates who wish to preserve
the party in honor must organize their
own convention and rest the issue with
the people who form the rank and file
of the party in the various states.
But there are timid souls among
even those who swear allegiance and
fealty to Roosevelt. They fear bolt"
Otherwise phrased, these nonmili-
tant delegates wonder whether it is
better to bear the ills they have than
fly to others that they know not of.
What these men will do when the
break comes, as now seems inevitable,
is in doubt Some may develop suf-
ficient 'gymp" to follow the lead of
those who intend to walk out and or
ton. Some, however, will not have
the nerve. They will sit with thieves
and by their presence help to ratify the
action of thieves.
The Roosevelt men know this per-
fectly we'll They are not deluded
They expect that many of the states
will not join in the effort to purge the
party.
This afternoon the situation is rem
dered doubly complex by the fact that
many of the Taft supporters, thorough
ly scared by Roosevelt's ultimatum
last night, are actively talking compro-
mise.
Messengers are flying everywhere.
Conferences are being held in a hun
dred different localities. With this
group an effort is being made to "har-
moniZe" the factions by uniting upon
Governor Hadley of Missouri, progress
sive, for president and Governor Mead
of Vermont, standpat, for vice presi
dent
Others are urging Senator Cummins
of Iowa for president and former Post
master General Wanamaker of Phila
delphia for vice president. When the
Taft leaders finally realized that the
Roosevelt men meant business ant
would walk out of the convention the
moment vote was recorded against
striking from the rolls the fraudulently
| seated delegates, they were almost in a
panic

GEN. OROzCO PLAYS
4 WAITING GAME

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, June 21-
The next move in the Mexican revolu-
ton probably will be made by the gov
ernment. At General Orozco's rebel
headquarters here today it was de-
clared that the advance or General
Huertas federal army would be await
ed at Bachimba, 46 miles south of
here. where the insurrectos have
strongly fortified themselves.
The federals, it is known, are anx-
ious to draw the rebels out into the
open. The big engagement upon
which the fate of the revolution seems
to hinge probably will not occur for
several days. as the rebels today de-
stroyed the big wooden bridge at
Ortiz. l. miles south of Bachimba
which was nearly mile long. This,
as well as smaller structures must be
repaired before the federal command
er can bring his artillery north, but
only a few days are expected to elapsc
before they are reconstructed, as the
government army has 1000 men de-
tailed to bridge repairing alone.
General Inez Salazar, virtually sec
ond in command to General OroZco,
arrived here today from La Cruz,
where he has been directing the skir-
mishing with the federal outposts.
Salazar is ill and has left General
Marcello Caraveo in command at the
front
dynamiting crew. mostly Ameri-
cans employed by the Mexican gov
ernment, is operating between here
and Juarez and probably will blow up
all the important railroad trestles Oh
the Mexican Central.
The object of the expedition is to
cut wire and railroad communication
between Chihuahua and Juarez and
make JuareZ destitute of supplies and
support in case of an attack by feder-
ais from Sonora.
Mrs. Orozco a Refugee
Ell PASO, June 21.-Mrs. Pascual
Orozco, Jr., wife of the commander
i'll chief of the Mexican rebels, left
here today for Los Angeles with her
children. Before her departue local
bankers say she deposited 5000, 900
gold
The report that she secured this
money i'll the city of chihuahua from
her husband and brought it here for
safe keeping pending the outcome of
the revolution has been current for
some time.
Another story is that Colonel Pas
cual Orozco, Sr father Of the rebel
chief. has in his possession in Juarez
IS pounds of gold bullion valued at
about $4,000, American currency.
which he will attempt to get through
to the United States in few DAYS
The gold is said to have come from
a foreign owned mine
Many prominent rebels have been
depositing money in FL Paso banks
recently.
