and it is just as reprehensible when
INDUCED in by such leaders as Presi-
dent Wilson and Representative I'm
derwood as it was when INDUCED in
by Joe Cannon and Nels Aldrich
Such methods are foreign to a gov
eminent of, by and for the people
and the country thought it had got
ten rid of them when the reaction
aries in control of the republican
party were kicked out of congress
But it seems the democratic major
ity, headed by President Wilson,
will take up the trail just where the
other dictators left it. But the most
unfortunate thing connected with
the whole affair is that there is not
one single democratic representative
in congress with the courage to
stand up and assert his rights. Not
one. They are all the plant tools
of the leaders.

Chairman Underwood has explain.
ed that duties on raw manufacture
ing materials have in some cases
been left out of the tariff bill "be-
cause the manufacturers are to bear
additional taxes through the income
tax" In other words, the producers
of raw materials, if they have been
benefited by a tariff in the past,
are to be mulcted to pay the in come
tax which the manufacturers are
supposed to pay. By the same
method of reasoning the tariff
might logically be increased on the
finished product to enable the man
ufacturer to pay the income tax. In
that event the consumer of the fin
ished product rather than the pro-
Queer of the raw materials would
bear the burden. But why is Mr..
Underwood so anxious to make some
one besides the man taxed in fact
pay the tax?

Ramona Borden, seventeen years
of age, daughter of a millionaire
who had separated from his wife,
ran away from a New Jersey sana-
forum a few weeks ago and for
some time eluded efforts made to
find her. Her father, of course, was
distressed and her mother was very
anxious. When the truant girl was
finally found she said she ran away
because she wanted a home. She
had travelled and money had been
lavished upon her, but she was I'M
happy. She did not like to live in
hotels and college boarding houses.
She wanted a home. Some place
where she could enjoy quiet and the

remaining in the east. This is the

JUDGES TOO THIN SKINNED.
A husband sought a divorce in a
Chicago court.
1t was denied and the petitioner
went muttering to the door. The
judge heard a few words and thun-
dered to the disappointed man to re-
turn to the bar, demanding to know
exactly the comment he had made.
Il was saying" said the fellow,
that if I had million dollars I
might get a divorce"
For that" said the court, "you
get thirty days in JAIL" and he
trembled with indignation before
the contempt in the victims remark.
-Des Moines Tribune.
No doubt the man was right about
it. A court that would impose a
sentence of thirty days in jail upon
a person for making such a remark
would not hesitate to accept a
bride, providing there was no dan
ger of being caught Such a Judge
has little or no idea of justice.

was entered into by the United
tates and Japan under which i'm
migration of laborers into this coun-
try was prohibited. That year there
entered American ports 10,23O Jap
anese. The figure is that given by
the L. S. Commissioner General of
immigration. By 1909, according to
the same authority, the immigration
had fallen to Bill. By 1910 to o.
40. This figure has since come up
little, but the old conditions have
never been Appropriated.
In the year 1908, the total Jap
anese population of the State of CAL

and Arizona was $1,000. In 1909,
it was 53,361. In 1912, last year,
it was 51,746. In California there
are about 10000 Japanese. The pop
ulation of California is 2,3SO,0OO.

The man who pays no direct taxes
does not escape taxation in the
broad sense and is interested in the
judicious expenditure of public
money, though very often he doesn' t
seem to realize it and is too anxious
to vote for eXtravagant men and
measures. Taxation, insurance, in
terest, ETC., are considered by the
wise capitalist and property owner
when preparing his rent schedules
and the careful merchant also fig
ures these items in his expense &C
count. Hence in the final analysis,
the non-taxpayer does pay a share
of taxes and is therefore personally
interested in the proper expenditure
of public money.
