The extent TO which the personal

following editorial, which appeared
In no less conservative and Influential
a publication than The Saturday Even.
ing Post:
Many states, first and last, have
attempted to collect an income tax.
Every such attempt was a practical
failure until Wisconsin tried her hand
at it. Elsewhere the income tax was
evaded Just as personal-property TAX
es are.
AS to Wisconsin's reasons for try
Ing an income tax, Senator LaFolIette
recently i%nstanced several eminent
citizens of that commonwealth whose
sworn returns to the local assessors
showed taxable personal property
valued at five thousand dollars, but
whose estates, upon their demise,
showed taxable personality running
from three hundred thousand dollars
to over u million. That is the way
.personal-property taxes are collected
everywhere. The farmer and mercf-
ant. whose movables are in plain
sight, pay; the capitalist does not.
WISCONSIN, In the first year after

hook, collected nearly three and "a
half million dollars in income tax:
and it proposes eventually TO do away

Tor 1t. Farmers and merchants should
hail this departure gleefully.
"The chief reason for Wisconsin's
success with the income tax appears
to be that the administration of the
law Is not left In the hands of local
otfieials--so often subject to local in
fluences and or less inspired by
that local patriotism which makes
them fearful their community may
pay proDortionateIy more taxes than
some other neighboring community.

in the failure OF the PERSONAL

THE NEW TARIFF.

After nearly ten months of work
the democratic party has produced
a new tariff law. Work was begun
\ upon ii by the Ways and Means com.
mfttee almost as soon as
convened in December OF last year,
notwithstanding the revision was to
be made by the next congress. The
special session, which met in April
has had the tariff measure under on
sideration continuously ever since.
While the measure will be known
as the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. act. il
should be called the Wilson bill, for
never in the history OF the country
has a president so completely domin-
ated in the preparation of a tariff
act as has President Wilson. There
fore, IL the measure proves a sue
cess. Wilson should be given the
lions share of the credit. II it proves
to be Il mistake. most of the re-
sponsibility for the failure must rest
upon Wilson'S shoulders. At least
1t cannot be said by this executive,
as it was by the last preceding DEM
.ocratic president, that his party be-
trayed its promises--as he under
stood them--for tariff legislation.
The new tariff act provides for
duties averaging % per cent ad val
orem, as compared with 81 per cent
for The Payne-Aldrich bin. This is
far from a free trade measure. In
deed it has been referred to repeated
ly In congress by both parties as a
protective tariff act. This. of course.
is entirely different from the kind Of
a law proposed by the last demo-
cratic national platform, which as
serted that it is a violation of the
constitution to employ the tariff for
purposes of protection. That it was
not to be a free trade measure was
Indicated at the outset of the session.
by Wilson's declaration that it should
not contain reductions radical enough
to injure business interests.
Whether or not the law will prove
what is hoped for by it's friends, re-
mains to be seen. In the presidential
sompaign, democratic speakers urg-
a revision of the tariff for the
purpose Of reducing the cost of liv-
Ag. Some attempt was made TO
AIRY this ont by discriminating
the farmer in arranging thc
arin schedules. But it is very much |
be doubted whether living costs
will materially change. If theyl,
then there would be a bust. !,

On behalf of the people of the state
against raising the embargo on pota-
toes coming into the United States
from foreign countries. North Dako-
ia Is a large producer Of seed pota-
toes n our seed potatoes, on ac-
cunt Of being free from disease and
possessing high terminating power,
are In demand. If potatoes are allow
from abroad it will be found that a
large majority Of them are tainted
with disease and this disease cannot
be prevened from spreading over the
United States.
L served four years in congress in

crosses and during that time was a
member Of the committee on agricuI-
ture and while a member of that COM
mlttee l had the opportunity to get
some information as to the very large
amount of plant disease which had
cen allowed to come into the United
States from foreign countries and we
are appropriating now immense sums
OF money to try and stamp out the
d1f1erent plant life diseases which new
er should have been allowed to come
within our borders. T hope that you
will take official action and keep po-
tatoes from Europe out Of the United
States and by doing this you will rem
der a great service to the agricultural
interests and to the people Of the
United States in general.
