 How by any one all, of these circumstances, IS newspaper to justified when it makes appeal to re- ligous prejudice?

income Taxes the World Over

It is not easy to compare the in come tax promised in the Underwood bill with those collected elsewhere. since rates. rules and exemptions are constantly changing, and many other forms of taxation are little distin- Suished from income taxes proper.
 For instance, the separate German states levy income taxes. Some Ger man cities do also; and the imperial Gern an government is about to take all especial contribution from large incomes, presumably in five install mcnts; so that for five years, and per haps longer, some Germans may have triple income taxes to pay.
 In Great Britain the estate taxes levied as death duties bring in a rev enUe of $125,000, 900 a year. They are graduated, rising to and 10 per cent. on large estates; on those of over S15. GOO. 900 the first $5,oOO,Oo0 pays 10 per cent, and the remainder 15 per cetn.
 The British income tax proper was levied off and on during the Napo- leonic wars, and steadily since 1S42. The exemption has varied from $5oo to $s00 and is now the latter figure. The rate has varied from less than 1 per cent. upward. DurIng the Boer war 1t rose to 14d. in the pound, or nearly per cent. It was not then
  jed, and the principles of graduation and discrimination have been further introduced. though to a less extent than on the Continent. The tax IS producing this year $220, ,0oo. .0Oo, more than twice what the Underwood bill contemplates An earned income of $L5, 900 pays 14d. in the pound on $9, 200 and 14d. on S5,ooo, $500 being exempt. An unearned income pays 14d. In general, the lowest rate is 3d., or about 3.75 per cent. The highest is 14d., with a super-tax of Cd. on incomes over $25, GOO; or, in all, 8 little above per cent. Besides the general exemption, there Is a special exemption of $50 for each five children and s$1,2000 a. year pays child under sixteen. A man with 9d in the pound on $50, or about 5.40 tax.
 Austria divides the income tax into very many minute gradations. The exemption is $250, but above that limit

BELG1uM's GENERAL STRIKE

The general strike not accident. It is the goal toward which European labor leaders have been moving 50 The general strike is not strictly speaking industrial weapon Its purpose is political Seldom the workmen in every industry within nation moved by grievance against the employers, but they frequently inspired by desire that the gov c1ent shall adopt legislation beneficial to the working class
 The power to institute general strike, bringing out half or more of working population sign that the labor movement in locality is highly developed. The workers have been trained until they capable of unit firmly for the frherance of political object by ab staining from labor thou the income of all of them is cut off.
 There a reason why Belgium is more highly organ lzed along labor lines than other countries It is densey populated It has people to square mile of land. The struggle for life is intense.
 The people of Belgium like sailors upon drift ng ship loaded with scanty ratons with the time of uncertain. If they do not devise equitable plan cf sharing the food they will all starve to death.
 Under the of this necessity the workers of Belgium have devised plans of cooperation to procure other necessities e great organiza- tions entirely by workers for their benefit.
 The general strike represents yet higher capacity for organization, and proves that time of revolution is in Belgium The passive resistance of the peaceful general strike stronger the hands Of work CTS than arms, armed revolution
 It is difficult to manage because the education of the workers in the principles of organization and takes long time.
 In this country labor organizations much behind those of Belgium, France Germany England in the years much effort has been made to apply the European principles It improbable that the general strike may day be used political weapon in this

liberated. To this new city San Fran ciscans are now preparing to invite the world in 1915, when the Panama Pacific. International Exposition will be held out attraction surpass- ing in excellence all preceding world 8 fairs. The work of building the big show, commenced by President Taft in October, 1911, has progressed rap idly, and within a year most of the main buildings will be completed or almost so.
 Another great movement on foot in San Francisco is that which has for its object the ultimate consolidation into one municipality of San Francis co, Oakland. Berkeley, Alameda and their suburbs. Such 8 city would have a population of 300, 900 at pres- ent, and all of the communities in volved in the project are growing rap idly. Such a scheme does not find favor with the people of Oakland, who have metropolitan ambitions of their own In 1900 Oak1and's population was only 66.96O, and at the time of the San Francisco disaster it had some S5,O0OO inhabitants. The census of 1900 gave the city a population Of 150,174, and 1t now claims to be in the 100000 class. With such a gain as this, Oakland has a right to civic pride

SWISS PROFESSOR SAYS
 ALL MEN ARE INSANE
Logic Keeps the Autistic Mind in sub-
 lection With Normal Persons.

Baltimore April 1S-Prof. E. Bleu- Ter of Switzerland, in an address be- fore distinguished medical men at the Henry Phipps Psychiatric Clinic of Johns Hopkins Hospital yesterday, said all persons are insane. In what are considered normal persons, he explain ed, irrational thoughts are kept under control by logical reasoning. He said:
 An escaped inmate of an asylum is in an inn which he refuses to leave. He believes that the queen of Hol- land Is coming to marry him and he must be at the inn. Now the man is i'll favored, without property; yet his autistfc mind tells him he is fit to be Prince consort of the Queen of Hol- land. The fact that neither he nor the imaginary fiancee has made prepara- tions for the nuptials, has no effect on him. Now there Is method in his mad ness, because he is happy in the thought of coming prosperity; but it is all a fairy tale.
 "Each of us has his fairy tale when we are by ourselves. We hide 1t from strangers. We like to believe that we are rich or good looking or of great eninence. The imprisoned fairy guides our taste, shapes our clothes and makes us sign our names with a flourish.
 Poets are nothing but children grown up.
 I.None of us is very far from the insane We have logic, most of us, to keep the autistic or insane thinking in the background. Any deviation from reality becomes autistic. The man in the asylum who goes about emptying elops believes fully that he is the Emperor of the world, a posi- ton far removed from his real con dition in life.'

the entire income is taxed. The low est rate Is o.6 per cent; strictly speak ing, there Is highest The rate continues to rise as the income in creases. At $42,5OO the tax paid is 1887 50, or 45 per cent. An income or $500, 900 would pay close to per cent There are various exemptions for the emperor, diplomats. soldiers, fe miles with children, the blind, crip- pied. bedridden, etc
 The German income-tax laws vary with the state. In Prussia the exemp- tion is $225. An income Of $25O pays $1.5o The rate averages per cent, but large incomes pay per cent. upon the greater part. Earned incomes are taxed less than unearned ones, and there are numerous exemptions. Sax ony has 188 gradations and taxes an income of S100 24 cents. There is an abatement for children. Large in comes pay a much higher rate than moo crate ones. Bavaria taxes earned income up to 3 per cent. unearned income up to per cent The exemp- ton in the case of unearned income is only $17.50. If you have, say, $2O unearned income it pays 90 cents tax!
 The tax in Italy rises to 20 per cent. on large incomes, but takes the place of other taxation to an extent not here contemplated. Much the same is true of Spain.
 New Zealand, a country very ad- vanced in social leg1slat1on' e1eHaPts incomes up to $1,5O0 Incomes over Sc, 800 pay 5 per cent, and so do cor porations.
 In 87 countries of the world the fn- come tax is estimated to yield one half of all the returns from direct tax at:cn In Great Britain it yields more than half.
 wisconsin has state income tax. The exemption is $500 for 2, single per- son, $1,20O for husband and wife, and s2oO for each minor, or other depend ent The rate varies from 1 to per cent A Wisconsin millionaire, under the combination of state and federal taxation, may presently be called upon to pay 10 per cent upon the. greater part of his income. Of course. the a1 craze rent payer in any American city pays much more than 10 per cent. of his income in indirect taxation, fed eral, state and local.

The first of the great racing cour- ses of England was opened by Charles II, 246 years ago to-day at Newman ket. Before that there had been courses at Croydon in the south and Garterly in the north, but Newmarket was the first of the celebrated tracks that are still in existence, as it was the first to have a 'stand-house," or grand-stand. The Epson track, now the scene of the famous Derby, was inaugurated by MT. Parkhurst in 1711. The Earl of Derby began the Oaks in 1779, and the Derby, first won by Diomed, the following year. The ex- act date of the beginning of racing at Ascot is uncertain, but 1t is known to have been inaugurated by the Duke of Cumberland, and a meet was held there in 1727. Racing at Doncaster commenced in 1776, by Col St. Leger, and the St. Leger stakes were found ed the same year. Goodwood racing was commenced by the Duke of Rich mond, on a course laid out in his park, in 1902. The Jockey Club. the ruling body of the British turf, was founded in 1750.

It was seven years ago to-day that newspaper bulletins told of the down fall and utter ruin of San Francisco, the proud metropolis of the Pacific, before the onslaughts of earthquake and flames. In the days that follow ed the conf1agration it seemed that San Francisco's devastation was com plete and irretrievabIe-that nature had inflicted on the stricken city a destruction final and irrevocab1e as that meted out to Carthage by the Romans. Who woud dare inhabit the site of a city where such ruin had been wrought? The answer is found in census statistics. In 1900, six years before the fire, the coast me- tropolis had a population of 342,782; in 1910, four years after the "de- struction" of the city, the population was 416,e12. To-day 1t is probable that San Francisco has passed the ha1f-Tnillion mark.
 While the new San Francisco that has risen from the ruins lacks many of the Picturesque features of the old, it is far better built and more beau tiful and healthfuI. Practically all of the old eyesores that disf1gured the old city have been eliminated from the new. and the scars left by one of the greatest calamities of modern times have been almost entirely ob-

Education. Dr. MacLean points out how the same need that has led to standard gage for railway tracks and a common monetary basis applies to institutions of higher learning. In the cases of tn euniversities, "the world wide interchange of thought, exchange of scholars, and migration of stu derts'' have inevitably created the demand for recognized standards.
 Dr. MacLean attempts to portray the standards of American higher ed- lucation as they have been and as they are. After tracing the significant changes that have taken place In American college standards from colo nfal days down through the battle over the elective system, he discusses the present standards of collegiate de- partm.ents in the United States; stand ards of theological schools, medical schools. law schools, schools of en- g.neering, dental schools, schools oS pha rnnacy, schools of fine arts and mu- sic. and universities in general
 Tn his summary Dr. MacLean suS- eests that the increasingly high pro- fesstonaI standards, which make the American graduate 26 or N years old in beginning the practice of his pro feseion, form an important point in the demand for a complete reorsahiza- tion of the educational system.
