SOME REMARKS ON INCOMES
Pertinent Just Now When the Subject
Is a Matter CT General
Discussion.

Incomes are now being taxed. II Is,
therefore, desirable that something
should be known about them An in
come is anything which you cannot
live upon expressed in terms Of law
full money Lawful money is anything
which will be accepted by the mem-
bers of state legislature, or a police
captain, or your wife. Incomes were
created for two purposes: TO lie about
and to live beyond Many people who
will not have to pay any are complain
ing to their friends and neighbors
about the way they are oppressed by
the income tax. This is one Of those
natural phenomena which no scientist
has been able to explain.
Incomes vary in size according to
how many people have worked for you
in the past or are working for you at
present No income is without honor
somewhere, except in the family it is
vainly attempting to support. Here it
is generally despised and looked down
upon.
An income tax is an effort on the
part of the government TO make you
feel that you are wealthy Also to
support the government in It's main
business in life, namely, living beyond
It's income
The government, which receives a
larger income than any one else.
should be taxed upon it. The pro-
ceeds might go toward relieving mill
lionaires in distress.
Every income is known by the com
pany 1t keeps.--Life.

All In-MotiOn to Dismiss.

Trenton, n. j., Dec. 7-After a trial
lasting forty-two court days, the last
testimony was given by the Buckeye
Powder Company in its suit against the
E. I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Com
pany to recover $4,000 damages. Rob-
ert r. McCarter, representing the du
Pont Company, moved for a non-suit
upon the ground that the Buckeye COM
pany had failed TO establish a case.
Judge Relistab discharged the jury tenn
porarily to give counsel opportunity 10

McCarter is not accepted it is expected
that several weeks more may be con-
sumed in taking testimony for the de-
fence.

cratic effort at currency legislation has
been noted at the House end OF the Cap

Echo Of Pujo Inquiry.

Competent legal advice as 10 the mean
ing OF this provision is that it absolutely
precludes the employment of clearing

wholly ineffective by prohibiting their re-

OF their examinations.

Chicago National Bank, which, because
It's condition was reported 10 the clearing
house ia proper time. resulted in the pay
ment OF every depositor I'm full and the

ADOPT ENGLISH PRISON
IDEAS, OSBORNE URGES
Investigator Finds Convicts
More Humanely Treated
Under British Rule.
BY Telegraph 10 The Tribune.

Auburn. y. Y, Dec. 17.-Praising the
English prison system and recommend
ing the adoption Of a similar system In
the prisons of New York State. Thomas
NJ. Osborne head OF the State Prison
Reform Commission. in an address deliv-
cred in the Second Presbyterian Church
to-day gave a summary of the results OF
his recent investigation abroad which he
will formally place before the commits
sion within the next few days.
Mr.. Osborne calls for more sanitary
prisons. graded system of punishment
as in England, more humane treatment
of convicts, more capable officials and
the adoption of the reform idea as prac-
tised in Great Britain, instead of the
American punishment theory.
Mr. Osborn characterizes the present
system as "deviish," stupid" brutal"
and 'inhuman."
1T is against the law OF civilization
TO keep men apart, as they do in our
prisons" he said. There can be no
hope OF reform when you make men live

THE English prisons do not have any
such abominatlon as dark cells. Instead
they have various degrees of punishment
In place OF dungeon they conf1ne
man TO his cell. The cells are different.
Here only ventilation is gained through
the door, which is made of iron bars.
In England the cells are larger and nave

Nobody wishes to level the walls oil
the prisons. We. interested In reform
do not want to abolish the PRISONS but
want men to go there for a period OF
reform. I would like TO see indeter-

reality owned by the government OF the
United States. have been investigated
and the Secretary OF War has presented
his evidence TO the Attorney General for
a decision as to whether Mr.. Burke can

that he cannot be, and that the only
recourse OF the railway company Will be
TO institute civil suit 10 recover the
amount which Burke Is alleged TO have
received from the contractors. II is be
leved that the government has lost no
money.
The Secretary OF War and officials OF
the government are chagrned that
charges OF graft have at last appeared

but there is relief that those charges
have to do only with a civil employe and
not with the army officials who are act
ually building the canal. Secretary Gar
rison stated positively to-day that there
was no evidence. nor any suggestion,
that there were qualifications 10 the
Burke case indicating widespread irregu-
larities.
II is charged that Mr.. Burke accepted
from contractors presents, commissions
or rewards for giving them contracts for
supplies. At the War Department it Is
said that there is evidence TO show that
Burke obtained some $4,000 or $4,000 I'm
