Republican Admissions.

There is little room for doubt
that Representative Gardner
voiced the sentiment of a large
majority of the republicans OF
the country, the other day, at
the opening of the debate on the
Underwood bill. His speech was
not so much in condemnation of
the bill as skepticism for the
country's future under the meas
ure proposed. He admitted that
republican defeat at the last
election must be laid at the door
of the Payne-Aldrich measure,
and, further, that the republi-
can party had been too slow to
recognize growing evils" and
that cit had permitted a far too
powerful oligarchy to run the
government it's way instead of
the peoples way"
This is frank admission, by
one who has always stood faith
fully to republican policies, of
the correctness of democratic
contentious.
+ Mr.. Gardeners skepticism ap-
pears to rise largely from fear
that the Underwood bill is too
radical. He believes the people
wish to try some of the new
ideas and are willing to risk the
consequences of their proving
disastrous; that, the republi-
cans have failed to give them
what they wish, they have turn
ed to the democracy-another
refreshing admission.
But is the Underwood bill a
radical measure? Analysis of
it's provisions shows that it is
not. 1t is in every sense a plan
of revision downward, just what
was promised by the republican
platform of 1908. But while it
is a revision downward, it is du-
ly mindful of the interests that
Newport daily independent., 1913-04-30

are largely interviewer with the
existing tariff system. It's pur-
pose is not revolution but order
by adjustment.
If such a thing were possible it
would be better to tear down the
tariff walls. That, however, is
not within the limits of POSSIBLE
ity. Absolute free trade is not
part of the system of any civ
ilized government in the world.
Tariff of some kind there must
be for the revenue required to
pay the expenses of government.
But the revenue should be raised
by placing the tax more heavily
on luxuries and most lightly on
the necessaries of life. That is
what the Underwood bill pro-
vides. 1t sacrifices no interest.
It merely prevents one interest
from encroaching upon the nat
ural rights of the whole people.
1t establishes equality between
the different interests of the
country.
That Mr.. Gardeners senti-
ments are shared largely by re-
publicans is evident from the abb
sence of that vigor and aggres-
siveness that heretofore have
marked the resistance of the ad-
vocates of the protection theory
to attempts to lower the tariff.
Of course, opposition is mani
fest, but the old-time fire is
lacking. This shows that the ad-
herents of the theory are all at
sea. They realize the meaning
of the revolution last fall, and
recognize the fact that their Chi
nese wall policy has been repu-
dated by the country. Power
less themselves, and wanting in
disposition, to effect the changes
which it is apparent the country
demands, they content them
selves with making feeble pro-
tests against the policies of their
opponents, who would heed the
peoples wishes, and by making
dismal prophesies as to the coun-
try's future if the peoples
wishes are carried out.-Fort

Invents Improved CarburetOr.


Indianapolis, Ind, April o.
Homer N. Motsinger of Lafay-
cite, Indiana, and a former Pur-
due University student, has
brought a singular honor upon
his alma mater and has just ac-
complished by the use of a new
invention of his own a seemingly
impossible feat. In an official
test held in this city he proved
his claims of being able to gener-
ate enough energy from a lone
gallon of gasoline to send the
equivalent of a one-pound weight
approximately three and one
half times around the world. He
attached his new carburetor to
an old automobile in making the
official test, and after breaking
all worlds records declared that
he would be able to even better
the remarkable showing under
more favorable conditions. The
invention will likely stamp him
as among the greatest of Hoos-
Ter inventors.

The Independent is in receipt
of the first copy of the Kensett
Keynote that has come to our
exchange table. 1t is not the
first issue of that paper how
ever, being number 81 of its
first year. The Keynote was
sent to this paper and doubtless
to hundreds of other papers to
create the impression that eX-
Congressman Brundidge is not
supported by his home county.
The Keynote is only 6 months
old and yet it pretends to voice
the sentiment of its county and
proceeds by yelled insinuatlons
to attack the character and otfl-
cial reputation of White Coun-
tvs distinguished son. Mr..
Brundidge is declared to have
had the money and influence OF
the Iron Mountain behind him in
his last race and other equally
ridiculous and unsupported
charges are made. This cam
paign was to have been a clean
one and we believe that Judge
Hays wished it to be so, but
hardly has it opened than a
mean, contemplate, false and
malevolent article is sent broad
cast over the state to misrepre-
sent Mr.. Brundidge. The voters
of Jackson county will hardly be
deceived by this newborn publ
cation, for as constituents of the
ex-congressman, they have ev-
cry reas9H to remember with
pride hE record of service in the
national house and mere reck-
less charges are more apt to
str engthen him in the esteem OF
those who know him to be able
and incorruptible with a clear
record of official life behind him
than to have the effect so plainly
sought by the Kensett Keynote

School Bonds Favored.

Batesville, April 29.-At a
meeting of the school board held
here today it was recommended
that seven mills tax be voted,
six mills for general purposes
and one mill for the improve
ment of the West Batesville
school building. Two rooms will
be added to that school, the
grounds improved and enlarged
and the premises otherwise i'm
proved.
At this meeting Miss Ethel
Wood was added to the corps of
teachers for the West Batesville
School and Miss Bess Maxfield

japan and California.

The state of California propos-
es to pass a law, making it i'm
possible for a man not capable of
citizenship, to own land in Cali
fornia.
In that what does California
do more than Japan does?
No foreigner can own land in
the mikado's country.
But Japan demands that this
government take a hand, and
prevent such a law being passed
in California, because they say
sit discriminates against the ia
panese."
Be that as it may, this govern
ment cannot forcibly demand
Newport daily independent., 1913-04-30

of California t pass a Jaw
simply to please Japan.
If California passes law that
violates any treaty, the law
would be dead letter.
But how is California to vio-
late a treaty, when it demands
for California what is not denied
to Japan.
This country is not kicking be-
cause an American citizen can't
own land in Japan.
The whole matter is one too
small for international dispute.
And the suspicion asserts it
self the people of Japan are seek
ing some excuse for Selling Ha-
wall and the Philippines.
Let them do it, and then give
them a licking that will stop all
other wars.
If there is war, it will be one
of Japan's making, and the Unit
ed States is amply able to defend
her own soil and her possessions.
though we doubt the wisdom OF
these island possessions. But as
long as they belong to us, ma
tional honor demands that we
protect them against INVASION

Newport daily independent., 1913-04-30

having fixed the amount OF IN
come. below which no one should
be required to pay an income tax
at $4,000, and in some places
they are being severely CRITICS
ed. Popular pride is being ap-
pealed to. and the average Amer
lean is called upon to protest at
being Disseminated against.
This is the essential point to be
considered in the framing OF the
law, and it differs vastly from
the income tax in other coun-
tries. According to investlga-
lions made by Mr.. Bryan, now
secretary of state,the income tax
maximum of exemption in En-
gland is $3.50, with an addition
al 5000 on incomes of less than
$4,000. In Prussia incomes I'M
der 1925 are exempt. In Austria
the exemption is about S1l3. IN
Italy incomes under s77'2o are
exempt. In the Netherlands
the figure is $3.50, and in Switz-
erland, 500. A tax collector
must surely possess large a.
mount of nerve who would at
tempt to collect an income tax
from man who made only
s77.2O a year, and while all
men should cheerfully bear their
burden of government, and as
the purpose of the income tax
is to raise revenues, there can be
no objections raised to the max
imum of exemption, excepting
that which has been properly
raised by Mr.. Hull when he point
ed out that the cost of collection
on these small incomes would
more than consume all the mon
ley received. It is estimated
that through the agency Of the
| income tax one hundred million
dollars will he raised annually,
and this amount will be taken
| from those who can afford to
pay it, while the poor man as
we'll as the rich man will reap
the benefits of lowered tariff
and cheaper goods. This form
of legislation has at least the
proper tendency, and we cannot
agree with the late Mr.. Glad
stones dictum that an income
tax makes nation Of liars. 1t
| is not in the nature of the Amer
lean to pay any sort of a tax
with enthusiasm and rare en-
joyment, but the average Amer
lean is not a perjurer, and would
rather pay on what he has than
swear lie, or even tell an un-
truth. Of course, there are peo-
pie who do these things at the
present time in the matter of
personal property but they
are not nearly so numerous as
some people think, and the way
to cure them Of this vicious hab-
it is not by confessing it's exis-
tence, and abandoning an equit-
able plan of taxation. The bet
ter way is to have faith in our
fellow-men, and this will cause
them to grow in justification of
that faith.-Memphis News

Government Roads

For many years the government has
extended aid to military" roads. The

enough now to build a good line Of
railroad from New York to San Diego.
But the good roads people want a

they have planned it from Washington
to the exposition city by the Silver
Gate" and at the Convention of South
ern Governors held last week in Ashe-
vile, N. c., the question Of construct
such a road was discussed with much
enthusiasm. The meeting decided to
call the proposed road the Southern
Transcontinental Highway" This
highway will make up part of the
system advocated by the National High
ways Commission.

Professor Edmond S. Meany, head
of the history department of the Uni
yersity Of Washington, recently pre-
sented the university library with q
copy of the proposed constitution oil
1898.
Washington was not admitted as a
state until 1889, and it is not gener-
ally known that an effort was made in
the '70s to secure recognition as a
state. In 1878 a proposed constitu-
ton was drafted and was presented to
congress. but in spite Of strong efforts
from Washington territory it was re-
jected. This proposed constitution
was issued as pamphlet, which has
become very scarce.
