Curious Taxes.

1t is a ridiculous taxing system
which penalties a property own
er for making improvements to
his property. If you paint your
house, put down a concrete pave
ment, pay for street or road i'm
provements, or add a few boards
or bricks to your home. along
comes the assessor and increases
your assessment because you
have improved things and spent
your money for it. 1t is in fact
a mighty poor arrangement by
which the man who does some.
thing for himself and the COM
munity is punished for il, while
his neighbor who lets his place
go to ruin, or hang on to prosper
ty which is unimproved although
it should be improved, and shuts
out some one else who would do
something, is receiving a pre-
MUM by unearned increment
and lower taxation. Is it right

MORE DEMOCRATIC TAXATION FOR AMERICANS.


THE expected has happened. With the European
and It's effect upon American imports as
an excuse President Wilson appeared personally be-
fore Congress yesterday and urged legislation to raise
from S6OOO0OOO to S1000000O0 more revenue for the
Federal Government through the imposition of internal
taxes That great additional burden Of Democratic
Taxation will fall directly upon the American peo-
pie already sorely pressed by commercial and indus
depression and high prices for the necessares of
life. to make both ends meet
When the Democratic work of juggling with the Re
publican protective tariff was begun by the Wilson
administration il was announced that with reduced
tariffs the high of living would be done with
and that income tax, laid upon those who were
well able to pay it, would supply revenue which would
more than meet the falling off Of revenues from Inn
ports
The tariff Juggling as represented by the Underwood
law was accomplished The income tax law was put
into effect The people waited for those things to
produce the revenue needed by the government and
prosperity and the low prices needed by the pub
lie. Neither the tariff the income tax produced
the results which their Democratic creators claimed
for It, Industrial and commercial depression came
instead Of the prosperity that had been promised.
The living, instead Of falling mounted steadily
upward. In short the Democratic system began to
break down in all its parts Il became apparent that
the Underwood tariff and the income tax would
produce sufficient revenue to finance the nation.

What Answer?
(From the New York SUM-

Representative Underwood, the
leader of the Democratic majority in
the House, told his colleagues on
Monday that they would probably be
called on to consider emergency rev.
enue measures within fortnight, and
that final adjournment Of Congress
might be looked for by the end of this
month.
While Mr. Underwood was convey
ing this message to the Representa-
tives Senator Simmons announced
that Immediately on tho passage of
the Clayton bill he would call up the
river and harbor appropriation
bill, which, since it reached the SEN
ate, has been delayed by a skilful fill
buster led by Senator Burton. 1t is
freely predicted that this naked and
shameless pork measure will be
passed in practically the form in
which It left the House.

sented to it the spectacle of the De-

Like lonesome stork, have come of
late
To the same old town in the same old
State,
Where I used TO walk when the day
was bright.
Where used to stroll in the pale
starlight.
7 say I'VE come to the same old town
With its way-up folk and its folk way
down,
And stand once more in the same old
street.
And walk again on the same old beat
That leads away to a quiet dell
Ana a grassy bank I once knew well.
'Tls the same old town, but older
grown,
And sights and sounds at first un-
known
Return again to their wonted track.
And all seem glad that I've come
back
The same old trees fling out their
shade;
The same old man and the same old
maid,
The first too blind aud the last too
shy
To sneak to me as / pass by,
still worry on, but still they stay,
The same as when I went away.
The same old fountains bathe the
lawn,
The same old whistle wake at dawn.
The same old train goes whizzing
through
The deacon holds the same old pew:
THE same old preacher. unperplexed.
Gives out anew the same old text.
The same old soldiers sit astride
The soap box on the grocery side,
Where. mid the wreaths and rings
of smoke
One hears again the same old Joke.
and thus I find the town once more
And make my way TO the same old
door.
In the same old house. on the same
old spot
In the same old street, on the same
old lot
My heart leaps up with the same old
bound:
The door bell rings with the same
old sound;
The door swings wide and a careworn
face
Appears once more in the same old
place;
An oid-time smile Is the smile I see:
While the same old mother kisses me.
