HAROLD M. PITT PRosPERING

From Manila papers (Tho Times, The
Cablenews, and The Daily Bulletin of
January 29th) we see that Mr. Harold
M. Pitt, formerly in charge of a large
commercial agency in this city. has
been made president of the Manila
Merchants Association. His inaugural
address, as such, is carried in full in
The Bulletin; The Cablenews gives a
fair report of it, and The Times com
ments favorahly upon it editorially.
The address itself is one worthy the
attention which it receives from the
Manila newspapers. 1t is devoted
chiefly TO the perspective development
of commercial operations in Manila
and the Philippine Islands, but one
paragraph of it has general bearing
as follows:
II Is time when we must not lose our
heads. The integrity and best interests
OF the eight million people OF these
| islands is the end TO be sought, and this
is What Will receive the serious consid-
| Grafton of the authorities at Washington
and govern their determinations You
may rest assured that there will be no
nasty or preeiDitate action on their part
| occasion is too solemn TO permit IT,
We feel assured that President Pitt
speaks wisely and well in delivering
these sentiments. The proposition that
the Democratic party and its admins.
tration is fully committed to the i'm.
mediate independence Of the Filipinos
is Premature. Tho better and soundcr
opinion, that the time for that is not
yet nor in sight, is gaining the upper
hand in the Democratic party, and
there is no likelihood of the passage
of the Jones bill or any other scatter
wit proposition of that kind
We congratulate Mr.. Pitt on the
preferment which he has received on
being made president of the Merchants
Association in Manila, and We also feel
justified in congratulating the mer.
chants of that city upon their excellent
choice in making him the president of
their association.

STATE TAX ON INCOMES.

Referring to the proposition that the
income tax would be proper measure
for State revenue, and to our opposition
to that tax on the ground that il is not
a suitable measure for State eyactions
and cannot, in fact, he enforced. we
note with interest the resignation Of
Mr.. *. K. Kennan, superintendent of
the income tax in Wisconsin. Mr.. Ken.
nan is an authority on taxation and
especially on the income tax. He has
undertaken to enforce the income Tax
in Wisconsin in faithful and energetic
manner. He was an enthusiastic advo-
cate of that tax, and he believed that
the universal failure in other States
10 get satisfactory results from an in
come tax was because of some defect
in the law or in its administration; and
he believed that properly drawn in
come tax law in Wisconsin, honestly en-
forced, would overcome the objections
raised.
But Mr. Kennan is disillusioned. He
does not believe now that the income
ldA can NC culofceo III any pLdUes he
resigns his office, and does it for this
reason. AS explained by himself, ''the
experience of the States with the in
come tax warrants the conclusion that
the tax as employed by them has been
unquestionably failure. 1t has salts
fled neither the demands for justice nor
the needs for revenue
This is a conclusion of the highest
value and Importance on this question.
Mr.. Kennan was full Of enthusiasm for
the income tax in Wisconsin; he was
confident that the law as passed was
just right, and was capable of thor
ough enforcement, and he was confident
on the proposition that he could col
lect tho tax properly, effectively, and
honestly. He has had his trial, with
the result stated. He does not believe
that States can properly enforce the
income tax law, and he is thoroughly
cured of his previous idea that they
can.
We commend this experience and con.
fession of Mr.. Konnan to Governor
Spry, and to others here who have had
the idea that incomes were a proper
subject OF taxation by the States.

THE BUSINESS VIEW.

The Tribune yesterday morning pre-
sented one view Of the inheritance tax
that is now under consideration In
| the Utah Legislature But there is an
other Wow that is strongly urged as
being more favorable for the State and
for all concerned than the one pre-
sented; and that is. in general terms,
To invite corporations and large invest
menis here, having the tax small
and thereby encouraging such invest
ments. The bulk OF tho inheritance
tax paid now. upwards of 90 per cent
of il, comes from noD-residcpts, own
ers Of stocks in corporations that
are chartered in Utah. To encourage
the incorporation of such companies
ought, it is fairly urged, to 6c desire
on the part of the Legislature as
certainly beneficial to the people OF
this. State. The Union Pacific aud the
Oregon Short Line and the Salt Lake
Route to Los Angeles arc incorporated
in Utah. We do not want TO do any
thing to drive these corporations ont;
but on the contrary to invite other cor
porations to come in so that the State
may be more fully developed. There
is now a proposition to extend rail
road to Deep Creek, another into the
Uintah Reservations; and it Is fairly
urged that men will not put their
money into corporations of this kind,
incorporated in Utah, as these ought
to be, If the laws are severe IN the in
heritance or any other form of taxa
tion. Besides, with severe taxation
rich men would be driven to incor-
porate in other States all their prop
critics, their Utah property included,
and Utah citizens might do the same.
The argument is n good one, and
since the encouragement Of such in
corporation in Utah would undoubtedly
bring in more investments and conse-
duently probably more returns even on
the Inheritance tax at low rate of
taxation than at high rate, the force
of the argument is evident 1t is the
desire of The Tribune TO do every
thing possible TO encourage investment
in Utah, and to make conditions such
that money will come in here for In
vestment in building up the State.
We commend, therefore, to the at
tention Of the Utah Legislature the
here set forth, The
thing TO be desired is not to impose
heavy taxation upon the people of this
State nor upon those who invest money
here; this is on the well lknown husi-
ness basis that fair rate of taxation,
as low as is consistent, will probably,
in the end, yield greater revenue TO
The State than a heavier rate. The
treatment that is fair and Just is the
treatment that in the long run, from a
business point of view, as well as from
The point of view of the public
economist, is the system that will wear
pest and yield the best results. We
IRE of the opinion that the milder
treatment, as a matter of practical ap-
Dlication in the State, will be fonnd,
al things considered. to be tho best
md most profitable, both for the up
Of the State and for the
revenues that the State will require for

OF THE "GLORY KISS"
Mrs. Freda MarlenthaI Charges That
Ardent Letter Robbed Her Of

"the glory kiss" is used. and said
to have been written to a married
man by a Woma who Is q grandmoth-

OF WORLDS DIAMONDS
MetaIIurgist States Total Output Of
Precious Stones Has Been
20 2-5 Tons.

Diamonds of the weight of 20 2-5
tons, which would fill a space Of 1919
cubic yards and have a value of near
ly $1.OOO,O00, 900, have been taken
from the earth from the earliest time
to the present day, according to the
estimate just made by M. de Launay.

correspondent of the New York Times
writes.
These figures, however, only con
Germ the stones before cutting, which
reduces their weight volume by half,
but multiplies their value by five. A
box three feet high, six wide and
eight long, would thus hold the total
worlds output OF these gems in their
finished condition and would have a
market value of 81. 700, 600, 900, accord

OF this quantity, according to M. da

of $685. 900, 900 have been contributed
by India, the source of all diamonds

Marylanu's Automobile Library.

The most useful automobile in Wash
ington county, Maryland, is the one
that serves as a circulating library for
the remote cabin dwellerS who are
too hardworked to seek literature
themselves, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The population. Of the
country, outside Of Hagerstown, is
10000, spread over 500 square miles.
For several years Miss Mary l.. Tit
comb of HagerstOwn, who conceived
the idea, carried literature to the out
of-the-way places in a sort of cup
board ON wheels, drawn by a horse.
But this outfit was small, and the
horse got tired on the steep roads.
So, when a train ran over the wagon
and left nothing but splinters, an au-
tomobile, provided with a special
library body took it's place, and books
are now taken to the doors of the
readers by "a routes, covering the
whole county.
