WHAT THINK YOU?

The income tax bill which is before the house> az
representatives exempts all incomes below 81 from
taxation.
The author Of tho bill, Mr.. Hull says that accord
ing to the estimates of treasury experts not over
$4,000 incomes will be subject to the tax under tho
proposed exemption.
When the Wisconsin income tax was discussed in
the last campaign in that state the defense was
offered in its behalf by it's authors that even though
1t taxed incomes low $500, virtually no working
men and few farmers were subject to the tax.
What IL the conclusion to be drawn from these
figures? Do they not testify to the fact that the
wealth Of the nation has been and is being conferred
in the hands Of the few?
Is 1t not significant that in the United States with
it's population Of so,oooooo with its aggrexate weath
exceeding that Of any other nation, there are not
in excess of $4,000 persons whose incomes reach
$4,000? -:
There cast in the last election apnrox,mate,v
100000 votes. Several millions of citizens did not
only 100000 have incomes large enough to be taxed
How long, think you, will this condition OF affairs
continue? How long will 100000 900 sovereign citizens
look approvingy upon system which pauperizes them
that fortunes which stagger the imagination may be
piled higher and higher? ! ;%y = Il. H.

CUTTING OFF PRIVILEGE.

One by one special privileges give way. One of
the most hourshing evils, which, except for an
occasional furry of opposition, has been almost un-
challenged, has now succumbed. The national banks
will no longer use government cash. peoples money
for nothing. with the privilege OF loanng it back to
the people at profits of S to per cent or even
more it the congested condition of the loan anarket
permits.
It's less than two months that President Wilson
mas been at the helm with his corps of new cabinet
l1eutenants. But he inaugurates an urgent reform
which long procession Of administrations has not had
the courage to undertake. The secretary of the
treasury announces that after June 1. the "easy''
profits tor banks must stop. There has, then been
no excuse for 1naction This reform did not wait unon
reluctant congresses. Only executive order was
needed to set the wheels in motion, but the wheels
never turned.
Secretary McAdoo's order is particularly pat inst
now In the midst of a worldwide money strngency
Many added millions of dollars national funds will
no doubt be thrown into banks to circulate in the
channels of business and promote industry With
banks compelled to pay for it's use, there will be
little to hold the nations money in leash N
the federal treasury.
No Injustice is done the banks by cutting off this
extra profit The government has lost probably
of millions of dollars by charging per cent for
deposits and per cent rate is thoroughly just and
equitable, since wide margin Of profit left between
the payment OF per cent interest and loauing out
money at cent, together with the credit privileges
which deposits bring Bank officials are glad to get
deposits at per cent interest and take aggressive
measures to obtain such deposits. Far more must it
be profitable to get government cash at Der cent
The Wilson administration will no doubt close up
many such leaks in the next years. It has made
tremendous start

ON CURRENT EVENTS
IF JAPAN STRIKES!

THoUGHT it was coming. Those
l. who have been urging a joining

ing about the unpreparedness of this
country for Japan's stroke-if the un-
likely eventuates.
1t would be easy for Japan to take
the Philippines. Hawaii. Alaska and
the Pacific coast. OF course! Haven't
the contractors Hobbies. the jingoes,
the military alarmists and the sincere
military students all been telling that
Tor a decade? What's become of tho
hundreds Of millions spent during that
decade to protect those possessions?
There Is no feet in the Pacific, the
army is cut up into squads doing
care-taking work at dozens of posts

congressman have had pull enough to
keep them maintained. Whose fault :?
Hundreds of millions of dollars
have been paid for defense, yet the
men who have had the spending Of
that money are crying out about the
unpreparedness. What about their
stewardship?

at fault for the failure to prepare
plans for such dofanso asnoo,o11,x ,s
the Japanese boyle has been the mag
net to attract most of the funds?
These questions have been asked
before, and they will and should be
asked until an answer is given. Why?
Why? Why? Let the answer come

There is a new administration on

WILL CONGRESS INVESTIGATE,

In demanding sweeping investiga-
Il ton by the United States Sen ate
into the miners strike in the Cabin
Creek and Paint Creek coal fields Of
west Virginia, including the causes
that led up to the trouble and the
charges which have arisen as a result
Of the tortures inflicted upon men,
bers OF the United Mine Workers of
America, Senator Kern of Indiana.
has demonstrated in a most forcible
way that he is true friend of labor.
Senator Kern has made a thorough
preliminary inquiry into the barbar-
GUS conditions which are rampant in
kanawha county, and he has recently
held series OF conferences with men,
oers OF the United Mine Workers, with
men who have visited the scenes of
the strike and with Secretary of La
Dor Wilson. The stories told the
senator OF the conditions that exist
within the strike zone were unbe-
l1eva bic at first, but Mhen cumulative
evidence began to ARRIVE at his office
he decided to ask for a thorough in
vestlsatton Of the whole situation.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson, who was
member Of the House before enter
Ing the Cabinet, tried to get the
House to make an Investigation. and
with this end in view he introduced a
resolution setting forth conditions
existing in the coal fields. Despita
Mr.. Wilson's strenuous efforts in it's
behalf, however, the resolution never
got any further than the Rules Com
mittee.
Senator Kern requested in the re-
solution he introduced last Saturday
that a committee Of three Senators
be appointed to make the investiga-
ton. He is confident that the Senate
Will authorize the inquiry, and he is
prepared to fight vigorously for it If
any attempts are made to delay ac-
ton. The Senator believed that the
chaotic conditions in the strike region
are due to the attitude of the mine
owners, who are accused Of holding
themselves above the law and Of
hagrantly disregarding the rights of
the people.
All credit is due the Senator from
Indiana for possessing the courage to
endeavor to institute an investigation
into the chaotic and anarchic condi-
tons in the West Virginia coal fields.
With few more men Of his calibre
In the Senate of the United States, la
Dor could face the future with more
expectancy and hope.

THIRD PARTY WEAKNESS.
. ETURNS from Michigan's ju6

~ cial election emphasize anew
the ephemeral character of the
Roosevelt party movement. Now that
the national election is over, there
seems little evidence of anything
like party organization or party CO.
hesion in any of the states which
have put Roosevelt Progressive tick
cts In the field. In the Michigan
election the Bull Moose candidates
ran a very weak third. For judge
OF the supreme court, taking the
highest vote in each case, the Demo-
cratic candidate :, received about
$4,000 votes, the Republican about
$4,000, and the Bull Moose, $1,000.
when this is contrasted with the fact
that In the fall election Roosevelt
had plurality Of $4,000, it is evil
dent that there has been tremen-
dous falling off in the Bull Moose
strength. This is even clearer evil
dence than the elections in Illinois
cities and in st. Louis afforded, since
municipal elections are usually less
affected than state elections by ma
tional politics. +aE - "-

cases Is that there is little which

THIS WEEKS THOUGHT.
Sometimes the workingman is criticized be-
he permits walking delegate to represent
him before his employer, and very frequently the
manager superintendent of corporation
fuses to deal with the elected representative of
the trade union who may not be in the employ
of the corporation; but this superintendent seems
to forget that he himself is the elected
appointed representative of number of stock
holders thus practically becoming the walking
delegate business agent of his corporation

he declared he had murdered twenty
nine persons, most of them women. and

many of these murders, they still

~ out any of the instructions of the

are severe but Mr.. Scully finds the
employers have n cheerful willingness
To comply with all requests.
The factory inspection takes him
into the various shops of the mining
companies as well as into the shafts
for the purpose Of investigating the
compliance with the laws regulating
safety appliances. In no case has Mr.
Scully found a mining company re-
miss.
His work includes the inspection
of school houses, to see that they have
ire escapes and other provisions to
protect the children i'm case of fire. AT
CT these regulations are complied with
by copper country schools. Tho regu.
lations affecting fire escapes un build
ings do not touch the copper country
IN many instances because there arc
few LARGE buildings i'm the district. Blu,
i'm all cases the owners of buildings
have complied with the regulations
governing FIRE escapes, the outward
opening Of doors and other contribu-
tions To safety
In stores, the employers are comply
ing with the regulation limiting the
hours of women employees To "a hours
a week, maximum Of ten hours in
any one dav being permitted but not
beyond the "a hours a week.
