Numerous Absences Noted.
About the various departments of the
government numerous absences we're to
be noted of officials who are at their

Many employees of the Senate are at
their homes to vote. Among the number
is Col Edwin A. Halsey of the SER
geant-at-arms' Office, who went to his
home in Lynchburg, Va, last night, ex-
pecting to return tomorrow.
Very Few Clerks Voting.
Very few of the clerks in the depart
ments went home to vote. The reason
that there was no general exodus of
departmental employees is explained by
the fact that the elections were only
in certain sections of the country.
Secretary Redfeld of the Department
of Commerce has been making speeches
in the west, but was due to arrive in New
York today in time to cast his vote.
His private secretary. L. Grant Smith,

Elections in Indiana Cities.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November r.
Election day in Indiana broke clear.
Every city and incorporated town in the
state is voting for municipal officers.
In many places the election has been
complicated by the introduction of c.ti-
zens' tickets in addition to the three
major party tickets.
Early voting in Indianapolis was heav-
ier than usual. This, in large measure,
was due to the street car employees strike,
as the voters wished to cast their ballots
before going to work. The four main
candidates for mayor here are: Joseph Il.
Bell, democrat; Charles A. Bookwalter,
republican,; DR.. w. II. johnson. progress

dream Of the impending danger. It
was a dark and gloomy night. The

The camp fire burned low. MY
beard had not been. shaved for weeks
and my beautiful brown whiskers
reached almost to my belt.
Suddenly I awoke. I seemed to
feel the presence of other human be-
ings in my tent. Several minutes
passed, but before I had time to move
a muscle a huge Sioux warrior flashed
his cigar lighter and held the little
blue flame not more than three inches
from my face.

THE TAXING N
Successful Men May Seek Ways Of
Restricting Their Enterprises.
lWaahington Postl

A graduated income tax on corpor-
atoms having a capital stock of more
than 100000 and controlling more
than one-fourth OF the production in
their particular lines is the latest tax
Ing scheme to be suggested for con-
%sideration at the approaching demo-
cratic caucus Of the senate. The new
the suggestion hat there be an excise
tax on products made OF tobacco.
If the taxing mania is followed to
It's logical. or illogical, conclusion, It
won't be long before successful men
will be seeking ways to restrict their
enterprises. The business concerns,
on which some of the members Of
congress would like to see heavier
a hint from the lobby investigators
that their appeals to congress for
protection and their efforts to place
facts before the legislators are. not
very welcome. They have been con-
fused with lobbyists. and naturally
enough resent the idea of heavy tax
alton without an opportunity to be
heard.
Aside from the encouragement to
various proposals for special taxes,
there is a political aspect that should
commend itself to the majority lead
ers. In England the taxing mania
has u its course. The taxes over
there. imposed by the strong hand of
Lloyd. George. were very popular with
he masses for q long time. because
they expected the result would be
that the poorer people might live at
the expense Of the rich.
This result. however, has not been
achieved. Instead, there has been
growing a strong dissatisfaction with
the present liberal government Of
England, the germ Of protest extend
ing even to the poor people who
thought they would be benefited, and
who now And themselves worse off
than eve before. Forced to pay extra
tribute to the government, the bust
mes men Of England have 10 been
able to treat their employees as gem
erousiy az heretofore.
Congress had better consider the
various pending tax proposals with
an eye to the future welfare Of the
country rs well as from the stand
point Of e~xpediency.
