THE SENATE RULES.

This is the time for change. Peo-
pie are not satisfied with the existing
order. Every leader would be a re-
former. There are evils that should
be eradicated and wholesale changes
that should be made. But there are
also some customs and some instltu-
tions that have proven their lasting
value, tina, should not be lightly set
aside. This, however, makes but lit.
tie difference to the politician ambi'
tious for the favors Of tickle Dopu-
lace. With them it is anything fof
a change.
This country is enjoying unparal-
led prosperity, but there is spirit
of unrest that is constantly showing
it's dissatisfaction with the existing
order. Just why the people of Amer
lea are discontinued it would be diff
cult to decide. But they are con-
stantly fed with quack remedies by
fake reforlners with the result that
many of them have reached the hasty
conclusion thot all that has been is
wrong and they are willing to en-
brace any proposition for a change
in the existing order.
Becoming dissatisfied with the SEN
ate of the United States, forgetting
the great an valuable work that it
has done for the development of our
system Of government, for the preser.
walton of our liberties and the
sane and intelligent transaction of
the public business, the people have
finally secured change in the meth
cd of electing senators. Not yet sat
isfied with this assault upon the great
conservative balance wheel In our
governmental fabric the cry has now
gone up for 4 change in the rules OF
the senate il order that it may be
made as responsive to the changing
fancy of the mob as the cowardly
house of representatives often be.
comes. It will BE- an unfortunate day
for real liberty when the rules of the
senate are SO changed that the mi
nority will lie denied it's right of un-
limited debate and protest. The SEN
ate, by killing hasty, malignant and
vengeful legislation, rushed through
the house in whirl of passion and
lust for power, has performed a very
great service to the nation. 1t is to
be hoped tina, we have still enough
veneration for established institu-
lions to leave the senate rules alone.

WHY A QUORUM?

II is stated almost every day py
Tho Nashville liquor organ that the
regulars" will continue to meet daily
in the legislative farce at NasnVliie'

in the passage Of the Appropriation
b;,,s and other needed legislation.
That's the reason then for the Nash
Vile farce; just simply waiting Tor
the fusionists to return. And why
should the regulars" desire the pres
ence of the fusionists? They nave
insisted and are still insisting that
the nresence Of a quorum is not nee
essarv for legislation; that the speak

sufficient, Ii that be true why do not

ton bills and other needed leglsia-
tion" and 60 home. Surely il quo
rum is not necessary they can enact
any sort of laws that they may desire.
If nuorum is not necessary to pass
an election law, why is it necessary
for the legal enactment of an appro-
priation bill? The regulars" have d
majority of both houses, then why
don't they get busy and pass the ap-
preparation bills, if they have moi al
ready been passed according to their
notion?
The truth about the matter is that
the regulars" have gotten them-
selves into a ridiculous mess, with
their rump sessions at Nashville.
They realize that they are the laugh
ing stock of the state. They cannot
accomplish anything at all. Tney
have miserabiy failed in their efforts
to emparrass the states finances.
They can give no earthly reason why
they do not adjourn and go home un-
less it is a desire to draw the addl-
tional four dollars a day from the
"boys at home" They are in PICK
lie but they d.n't know how to extrl-
cate themselves. They know they
are acting the fool but they hate like
thunder to say 50.

The INCOME TAX.

The wealth Of the country Is ar
raved agains. the proposition to inn
nose an income tax The very ldea
that people should be taxed for the
support of the government in proper
ton to their ability to contribute, is
shocking to lie holders OF big Tor
tuues. 1t is a thing not to DE con-
sidered. l. is an attack upon the
vested interests. 1t is so foreign TO
the established principle OF Amerl'
can taxation that every possible Ell
fort is being made to defeat the In
come tax in TIE senate.
We have so long been in the haplt
of taxing people in this country upon
consumption. that is in inverse ratio
to their ability to be taxed that 1t Is
not surprising that the income tax
should be looked upon as rather
dangerous or doubtful expedient. For
so many years we have raised the
great hulk of the nations revenues
by the most outrageonsly unfair and
unjust and inequitable SYSTEM OF
taxation that tho mind of man can de-
wise that we have come to look lath-
err ao!.ance ~ any sincere effort to
eoualize the burdens of taxations.
But the income tax, once placed
upon the statute books, will SO raVo-
1utionize our system of taxation that
instead of repeating it, we expect
that it's provisions will be gradually
extended Until we shall have a real
democratic income tax.
The pending measure, the Work OF
Representative Hull, OF this state, is
very far from being an ideal bill.
However, the people must be sradu-
ally educated to the justice and fair
ness and equity of the income tax.
Were all incomes to be taxed
at first. the law would probably be-
come unpopul,r before it was gwen
a fair chance. That would be I'M
wise. But the ultimate object CT the
advocates Of income taxation should
