an audience with the Pope in summer

Interesting were Mgr Cloarec's rcminis-

Of Pope Leo XIII.
After Mgr Cloarec had talked for

never POPULAR TAX
Assessments on incomes Always
Opposed.
Great English and American States
men Have Gone on Record In Op-
position to Plan-Lincoin's
Words of Denunciation.

When Edward Gibbon, the historian.
tells us that the Roman -emperors as
certained the incomes of their subjects
by burning them at the stake, we feel
little regret that the glory of Rome is
no more. When we read how the bush
ness men of the middle ages. especial
ly the very successful Jews, we're in
geniously tortured to make them re-
veal their incomes we see some ad-
vantages in not living even in that
picturesque period. But we must not
exult prematurelyl
The English income tax is the model
upon which the present federal In
come tax is based. A quarter of a
century after the English tax went in
to force it was repealed with an en-
thusiasm that is worth recalling Dur
ing the NapoIeonic wars the income
tax had been endured as a necessary
evil. But after Waterloo popular OPP
position could no longer be restrained
The house of commons was deluged
with petitions from all parts of the
kingdom. From the merchants, bank
ers and traders of the city of London"
came a petition with $4,000 signatures
expressing adherence of tax repug-
nant to everything like British feel
ing
Throughout the debates III the COM
mons at this time it was always the
inquisitorial nature of the tax, an in
herent evil, rather than the high rates
which aroused most bitter hostility.
The intensity of feeling may be gath
cred from Brougham's very popular
proposal that all records of the tax be
burned that posterity should never
know that such tax had existed Well
may the Democrats ponder over these
things,
Gladstone's denunciation of the in
come tax came just ten years after
Abraham Lincoln, who must have had
in mind England's experience, wrote
Ito the voters of Illinois," by the
direct tax system the land must be
literally covered with assessors and
collectors, going forth like swarms of
Egyptian loeusts, devouring every
blade of grass and other green thing
We do not wish to press the analogy
between Democratic tax officials and
loeusts or any other kind of insects, in
structive though such analogy be. We
do wish, however, to counsel great re-
straint and good sense in administer
ing what has proved in all times and
places to be the most unpopular of
taxes.

Plea for Party Unity.

Circumstances which unfortunately
led to party division year ago no
longer exist. The Democratic party
is in full power, and it can be over
thrown only by the united effort of
the great body of those who believe
in Republican principles I have no
doubt whatever that the logic of
events will bring all Republicans into
cooperation again This cannot be
accomplished by coercion of any sort;
it must come about naturally by the
exercise of a spirit of tolerance and
patience; old scores should be forgot

put it, 1T does not do to keep books

state Is Second In Flour.

Kansas flour mills maze a new high
record of production in the milling
year ended June 80, 1913. Their total
output was more than 1919 million
barrels, enough to supply bread to
nearly 91a million persons.
Kansas was the second state in the
Union in flour production last year,
only Minnesota being ahead of it.
The total output for the twelve
months ended June 80, 1913, was 1919
million barrels-about 1A million
barrels more than for the previous
year, and enough to supply Kansas
and all the twelve big states between
it and the Pacific.
Only 20 million of the 80 million
bushels of wheat raised in Kansas was
shipped out of the state and farther
than Kansas City for grinding
All the people of Kansas, Colorado,
Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Ari-
iona, Utah, Idaho. Nevada, California,
Washington and Oregon could be sup
piled from the output of the Kansas
mills last year. The entire population
OF the six New England states, and
Delaware and Maryland, could be sup
Ilied with the product after the peo-
pie of Kansas had obtained their f..il
quota.
Reports have been received by R. E.
Sterling of the Northwestern Miller
from 1S2 mills in Kansas and their
total output for the year was 1855
$50 barrels of flour. The output was
Il million barrels greater than in the
preceding year. The mills ground al
most 1919 million bushels of wheat.
The figures do not include those Of
the Kansas City mills on the Kansas
side. The production of Kansas City
mills, chiefly from Kansas wheat, was
about 2 million barrels of flour.
The figures make Kansas next to
the largest flour producing state.
Only Minnesota is ahead of Kansas.
Notwithstanding this high record
output the Kansas mills utilized only
59.S per cent of their full grinding ca
pacfty- If all the mills of the state
should run full time throughout the
year they would grind more than 90
million bushels of wheat.
