IN any event, the dullest public servant
that ever drew salary for misrepresenting
his constituents ought to realize the self
evident truth that If the average married
couple which has children has only two
children the whole race will disappear in
"a very few generations. Unless the av-
erage married couple has three children
the race cannot by any possibility perpet-
uate itself In numbers under any condi-
tons. Under. existing conditions, taking
into account the children who die before
they are adult. the adults who do not
marry, and those who marry but who, to
their great sorrow and for unavoidable
reasons. nave no children, or only one or
two. 1t Is obvious that unless the average
married couple capable of having children
has four children the race will not in
crease. I ask people who object to this
statement to remember that 1 am not
making an argument. I am merely stat
ing q fact. I am dealing with a Law Of
nature which can no more be ignored.

stance.
Moreover. the people who will be affect
ed by the income tax nave not even the
excuse of grinding poverty to offer as a
justification for the immoral Sinking Of
the prime duties of fatherhood and moth
erhood. People with annual incomes of
over 5000 are in no danger OF the poor
house. People who have an income Of
more than $1,000 a year are able to keep
children, unless they prefer automobiles
and lap-dogs and put vapid excitement
above the performance Of the highest duty
and the attainment .ofsthe highest happi-
ness.
I do not believe in reckless marriages.

wife, nor in couples who recklessly and
thoughtlessly have multitudes of children
whom they are unable to bring up prop

"A Premium on Race Suicide.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT IN THE OUTLOOK.

There is much in the proposed income
tax with which I DO not agree-for ex-
ample. / believe there should be a very
much heavier progressive tax on very
large incomes. a tax which should In
crease In very marked fashion for the gil
gantic incomes. But there is one feature
OF the proposed tax so wrong that in
principle 1t makes all the other wrongs
and beneits-unimportant.
In Commerce and Finance of Sep
TENDER 10 I find the following statement:
1.-THE income tax has been entirely re-
written. The exempted income has been
u to 5000; q man living with his
wife is entitled to a further exemption of
$1,000 and additional 800 for each Of not
more than two minor children.
1t Is regrettable that democratic an
,tipathy to R~ooseveltian ideas should have
gone to h length OF approving. even by
Implication, race suicide and small fam
ilies.'
I cannot believe tha the country seri-
ously considers, or indeed is aware of,
n has been done by the democratic
majority having In charge this legislation
concerning the income tax. In hardly any
other civilized country would there be
such levity in the treatment OF such q
subject. At this moment the best think
.ers OF rance are bordering now to put
the most effective premium On the third
child In the average family, and yet these
eolons of the income tax are deliberately
penalizing this third child. whose absence
means speedy racial extinction. speedy
racial death. !.
In countries with o declining birth rate
many legislatures have sought by Judi
cious lawmaking to reward ar honorable
woman who performs her prime duty to
the state by bearing n rearing the chill
dren without whom the state will have
no future whatever. and to discriminate
in favor Of the honorable man who. AZ

commonwealth. But this 10 the first time

Inheritance Taxe..

From the Fargo-Courier News.
During sthe discussion of the tariff bill
Sc Senator Norris Of Nebraska. who is n

full amendment to The bill.
Briefly stated, Senator Norris amend

first $4,000. which sum il exempted, and
running from l per cent up to as high as

Aston fortune Of $780, 600 600 would be $lS,-
7ss. 500. and the residue to the Astor heir

their property. But that Is true, he be-
lieved; only In the accumulation Of small

Senator Norris Is right: his amendment

Aldine Chambers, who is pressing
that charge against Turner, declares
that this is graft in its pIainest and
most outrageous form, and o kind OF
graft that Is the most pernicious OF all,

the tax payers pay him to perform
risidly.
Turner's defense has not yet been
