BETTER 60 TO YALE,

The announcement is made that Mr..
Taft will not tour the world in the
interests Of peace. This is sage de-
cision. Just at this time, Mr., Taft
does not stand very high in those
world circles which are bound togeth-
ed by treaties. His ignoring Of the
treaty with Great Britain in sanction
ing the Panama bill might be taken as
showing a certain contempt for treaty
obligations, notwithstanding the altru.
istic sentiment on that ,ssubject ex-
pressed in his recent annual message.
international peace can be brought
about only by international conven.
ton. The first thing Mr.. Taft might
encounter in world tour would be an
interrogation of his attitude toward
treaties in general, as exemplifed by
the can..- incident. He >scarce coule
ask the world to vo'ni the United
States in a peace treaty with the vic
lation Of one Of our latest treatiel
staring him in the face. He is RICH
in going direct to Yale.-st. Paul Dis

If the parcels post system, which
went into effect the first of this month
is the beginning, the opening wedge,
as it were, of better and cheaper
system Of transportation Of light and
medium sized packages, then we should
be thankful for it. But if, as we sus
pect, it is cop thrown to appease
the demand Of the people for relief
from the extortions of the express
companies, and was designed with the
idea Of taking no. more away from the
express companies than was absolute
ly necessary to appease such demand,
the system given us must be consider
ed not only as failure, but as demA
agogic attempt to fool the people Of
the United States. We shall see what

Judge Robert W. Archibald Of the
United States Commerce Court, against
whom impeachment proceedings were
instituted some time ago, was found
guilty by the United States senate
yesterday. The penalty is removal
from office. just why a man who has
worked long years to attain official
preferment should deliberately throw
it away for few paltry dollars, is
more than we can understand. The
lowly individual, turned crook in order
that he might lift himself up to the
financial level Of his more fortunate
fellows, is understandable; the men Of
the standing Of Judge Archibald, give1
everything apparently that makes lift
worth while, with no incentive, to lie
cheat or steal, are not understandable
except upon the hypothesis Of dis

n OAK. MAN
TRYS SUICIDE

Cocato, MINI, Enterprise: Carl w.
Bengtson, giving his home as Devils
Lake, N. D.l, attempted to end his
life last Friday evening at the RIM.
ions House. The attempt was unsuc-
cessful, owing to the dullness Of the
knife used by the man.
Bengtson arrived on the afternoon
train from the west and registered at
the hotel, but not giving any address.
He was noticed by several guests to
he acting in preoccupied manner,
and at the supper table is said to
have eaten only biscuit.
About O'Clock in the evening he
went into the lavatory Of the lobby
and plunged the knife in his wind
pipe. He staggered into the lobby,
bleeding profusely, and fell to the
floor. IA
He was picked up placed. on a cot
and DR.. Ilstrup summoned. The: pa
tient took an active interest in every
thing that was going on around him,
but would not talk or give any reason
for his act.
Papers we're found in his pockets
addressed to him at several North
Dakota points, SO his identity was
1ully established. An effort was
made to have him disclose the names
of relatives, but he refused to talk.
His wound was treated and he was
removed to the village hall and
watcher stationed with him. In the
morning he was little more laxative
and gave the address Of brother in
Minnesota.
AS the. wound was considered SER
ious and the village authorities did
not wish to incur any responsibility,
Bengtson was removed to Ltchfeld
hospital Saturday evening being TAX
en- there by Bernard Nelson, county
commissioner from this district.

THE INCOME TAX,

The January number Of Munsey's
Magazine has the following, e say rel.
alive to the federal income, tax:
tFBcfore this glad new year goes the
way Of all other years, it is.nlore than
likely that an income tax law will
have been spread upon the statute
books of the United States. At the
time of writing, thirty-four. states have
ratified the constitutional amendment
granting Congress power; to- pass the
law. The assent Of only two more
states is needed to give the necessary
power to our national legislative tri-
bunal.
Ten states have not considered the
amendment at all, but the legislatures
in more than half the states will meet
early in 1913, and it is tolerably Ger.
tain that several of them7 will take
the necessary action. Although two
more asserting votes will complete the
necessary thirty-six-three- quarters of
the whole number of states Secretary
of State Knox will not issue the pro-
clamation until there is a safer ma
jority. There is possibility that some
might rescind its approval of the
amendment, and thus. if It reduced the
number of assents below thirty-six,
would open up an awkward constitu-
tional question, as it has never been
decided whether such a reversal would
Or would not invalidate a previous as
sent.
GA sane and sensible income tax is
step in the direction of more
equitable distribution Of the burdens
Of citizenship. But there are two
features that we would urge as essen
tial to satisfactory statute. The rate
of taxation should be low, in order
that no payer should be too heavily
burdened, and the amount of exempt
income should be small, in order that
as many citizens as. possible should
have stake: and a share in the fiscal
system of the state, each paying &C.
cording to his MEANS -

RETIRE AND 3 PENSION JUDGES.

New York has a law which automa-
tically retires every Judge upon at
tanning the are limit. Where he has
served q certain required period Of
years, a pension begins with the re-
tirement. There is q probability that
Minnesota will, write upon her statute
books q similar law during the cur
rent legislative session.
Minnesota does not pay her judicial
officers the highest market price for
legal talent. No state does, as a
matter Of fact. 1ne assertion is
made. therefore, that inability to lay
up even a modest competence out OF
tho meager salary allowance compels
judges to remain on the bench when
years and the physical infirmities
that go with them have practically in.
capacitated them.
Public sentiment everywhere, sup.
ports the view that when Judge has
discharged the arduous and exacting
duties of the bench for reasonable
length Of time and reached an age
which in the course Of nature might
be expected to lessen his physical en-.
ergles, it is due himself and the PEG.
pie that he retire and enjoy the rest
and compensation earned by a long
service. The term Of service, the age
Of retirement and the amount of the
pension may all provoke differences OF
opinion, but to the broad principle OF
pensioned retirement the people gen.
orally will subscribe.
If the judges were paid by the state
salaries that would compare with the
earnings Of many of the attorneys
who practice before them, the case
would be different. There would be
no occasion for pensions and no per.
sonal reasons for the retention Of Of
fee until the old age period. But as
long as salary rates make impossible
the provision for the time when SER
vice must cease, it is reasonable that
the state be called upon to compen-
safe through pension system.-sr.

A FAIR COMPARISON.

To 'thoe who have been urging the
commission form of municipal govern
ment for Devils Lake, on the grounds
that it would not only % more ef,
ficient but cheaper as we'll, the annual
statement Of the city auditor of the
city Of Minot, whore the commission
form is in force, ought to prove Of
more than passing interest.
According to the last census, Dew.
lis Lake has population of 5,157.
For all purposes the city spent dur
ing the last year, about $4,000.
According to the last census Minot
has a population Of 6,1ss. For all
purposes, according to the statement
Of their city auditor and commission.
er Of finance, the city spent total
of $9s,595.77 during the past year.
This comparison is not published
for the purpose of throwing scare
into the people who have just wished
commission form Of government
onto Devils Lake, but just to show
them that it is possible for commits
sion form Of government to be muc]
more expensive and a whole lot
less efficient than the one under whicl
we are now operating. And also t.
show the mon who have been theloud
est yowlers about "graft' and la:
management, that they didn't reall
know whereof they spoke.
