Will Test Income Tax.

The Investment Bankers Associa-
tion has resolved to carry the income
tax matter to the highest court on each
and every clause in the law.
There can be little question that the
tax is i decided handicap to invest
ment in bonds; that very many holders
of bonds have taken the bull by the
horns and are disposing of their bonds
and replacing them with stocks, where
upon there is no normal tax to the
holder.
No fault can be found with the de-
cision to test the constitutionality of
the act. If there is anything unconsti-
tutionally wrong in it, the time to find
it out is the present.
Judicial construction of some OF the
important clauses appears to be neces-
sary that even students and enforcing
officials may become familiar with the
inside workings of the law.
Perhaps the income tax, conceived
to lessen the losses of import duties
through lower tariffs, is one of the
very best of measures in that it IS
designed to place burdens on those
who are best able to bear them. This
may work out in the years to come,
but the income taxpayers of today are
wroth over the difficulty in under
standing its phraseology and over its
retroactive features in that it was
enacted October IS. and became eff
fectivc March of the same year.
They also term it class legislation.

Over the Fence.

Threat of a caucus to force the en-
action of currency legislation, half
baked and underdone, through the
Senate, should not be carried into ex-
ecution.
The caucus has no place in modern
progressivism. 1t is a procedure that
destroys individual thought and ac-
Zion. that negatives personality and
sends a party over the fence even as
d bunch of sheep following their
leader.
1t produces a case OF men OF party
Hfhliations being entirely shorn of their
rights; of their duty to their constitu-
ency; of their individualism and their
hight to vote and act as they may see
81, under the spur and whip of party
fealty.
Currency legislation by caucus is es-
pecially obnoxious to the people. of
liis nation. They have been given one
Example of its serious effects, in the
manner in which II was rushed through
the House, crude and full of palpable
errors and mistakes OF Judgment and
with many features that would have
resulted in chaos in the money world.
But it was jammed through and by
the rule of CAUCUS.
In the Senate the wisdom of that
body has been of invaluable service
n eliminating many of the serious de-
tects of caucus legislation.
Hearings have been held and expert
hnancierS have made suggestions that
have been accepted, so that the bill,
when finally passed, after further
Bearings and debate, elimination and
Insertions, will be one that will be
accepted by the great financial and
business interests of the country.
President Wilson should understand
hat 1.-THE best, most perfect system of
financial legislation for the country,
5 more important than any temporary
relief OF a situation which is at least
5training from a business standpoint,
through the hurried enaction of a ques-
ionable currency bill jammed through
caucus, while work half done will
put call continually for correction.
It is stated that MIR. Wilson will not
Stand for changes in the money bill
This is nothing more than attempting
10 control legislative enactment, the
plain and sworn duty of Congress and

In due time the currency bill will be
ent up to the White House, and if
he President then decides to disap-
prove of the measure he will be within
MS rights in returning it with his
reto.
. II is too important a matter for any
bne man, however important his posi-
ion, to control; it is too important for
ny party caucus to jam through and
he people have long since reached this
conclusion.
No injury is being worked by eau
ious delay, wise consideration and

Loose Diamonds.

From the Boston Herald
A large proportion of lost precious
stones come from the carelessness of
those who. wear rings and other pieces
of jewelry and do not have them oc-
casionally examined by experts to see II
they are tightly fixed In their settings:
The tiny jewels often insensibly work a
little loose. the points wear slightly
hunt; then a jar detaches them and
away they go and may not be seen
again. The insignificant expense of hay-
ing them put into order Is fully justified
in view OF the far greater loss which
their disappearance causes. II is an ex-
cellent custom, therefore, once a year or
naments to the 'jewelry man" and let
him regulate them.
The same kind Of carelessness works
the mischief in typewriting machines. 4
little oil applied to all the bearings
saves immensely in the wear and tear Of
the parts. Yet II is safe to say that most
persons let their machines go for weeks
without fabrication.
One can carry the principle still fur.
ther and apply 1t to our mental pro-
cesses. This is undoubtedly one of the
strongest arguments in favor of church,
going. The weekly examination OF the
conscience which is suggested by the
sermon, the fabrication which comes
from the change of occupation when one
enters the church, is invaluable for
every one. Our minds are delicate ma
chimes which cannot run steadily with
out some attention. 50

The OPEN FORUM
Explain. views on District Go, ,ern

ment.
To the Editor: "wm you kindly per-
init me to make some necessary correc-
tons in the report Of my address before
the Secular League on District Suffrage
and Self-government, which appeared in
Mondays Herald? E., .s-I .
II did not advocate an educational test
for suffrage, as reported. but pointed out
the fact that II we had the Des Moines
plan of city government, with the initia-
tive and referendum, there would be no
need for an educational qualification, as
the ignorant voters would disfranchise
themselves. and character and intelIi-
gence would rule.
THE phrase, grave abuses and mig
government, was not used in my adj
dress. l did, however, call attention to
the fact that in the past real estate sny-
dicates and local corporations had eN-
ercised undue control ever District COM
mittees and District Commissioners.
Since March 4. 1913, / stated, a new era
has dawned in the District and We now
have a Board of Commissioners who can
be counted on to stand for popular rights
against special privilege and to dc every
thing in their power to make Washing
ton the model city Of the republic.
The central idea of the address was
to call attention to the fact that Congress
at its next session will probably give
the District q new form OF government
and TO urge all who are interested in
popular government. to scrutinize pending
legislation and do all in their power to have
the right kind Of a measure enacted into
law.
There was not a word in my main ad-
dress about the taxation OF church prop
erty. This point came up incidentally in
the general discussion. and ! used it as
an illustration of how the District people
would be able to control their local af-
fairs II We had system OF popular gov
ernment in Washington. such as they
have in Des Moines and other progress
sive cities.
