Six election officers were sentenced
10 half year each In the penitentiary,
and sixteen were fined 800 apiece, in
the Supreme Court yesterday on their
pleas Of guilty 20 charges of stuffing
ballot boxes on April I. Their INSIDE
meanors could in no way benefit them
selves, unless they received for their
conduct rewards from private sources.
The ridiculous explanation of their
criminal acts put forward by their
counsel is this:
'"The public took no interest In the cleo.
ton. The officials found themselves with
nothing TO do. Few of the.n understood
their duties. Through weakness they vio-
lated the law In order to make good
showing Of votes cast"
II the investigation Of this monstrous
fraud on the citizens Of this State, I,
fraud that Is reasonably asserted to
have overruled the will Of majority
Of those electors who went TO the polls
two months ago, comes to an end with
the sentences imposed yesterday, jus.
tice should hereafter be represented not
only as blindfolded but as bereft OF
all her senses.

PLANETS TWAIN.
The Earth AMI JOye COnJunct CODspirc
Against the Weather.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: About
a year ago In letter TO THE SUS I ven
tured the opinion that the weather OF
each year IL notably affected by the con-
junction OF the earth with the planet
Jupiter. If line could be drawn from
the sun to the planet Jupiter the earth
would intercept that line about August Z.
The conjunction OF these planets would
increase to them the electricity which
passes from the sun to each of the planets.
and at the time Of the new moon and the
full moon would add still another ma
terlal body 10 the line of conjunction and
attraction.
II that conjecture Is worthy of any con-
fidence there should be about the time OF
the new moon of June 20 and the new
moon OF July % a sharp fall of perhaps
20 or more degrees in the temperature,
and probably a drop to the neighborhood
Of 30 degrees or below, Fahrenheit.
Also there would be IL these conjec-
lures were correct aggregations OF thun-
dershowers at the time of the full moon
OF July Z and OF the full moon of Au-
gust 8.
1t In merely because this opinion has
had some confirmation in the past that
reference Is made to II now at period
preceding these events. II will be interest
ing to note II some OF the phenomena OF
past years occur this year. and If so rea-
| sonable calculations might be made that
such increase OF electricity would come
always at those lunar periods by the con
junction of the earth and the planet Jupi.
ter and would afford n reliable method
of forecasting weather in relation 10 those
events. GEORGE ID. MACKAT.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN--Sir: Has
ten the day when the tide OF foolishness
shall ebb but let us not take for granted
that all the resources OF rampant lunacy
and all the schemes Of folly have been
exhausted Here are two random exam
pies from recent news: A United States
Senator introduced u bill forbidding the
use OF the mails to any insurance conf
pany in n State in which IL had been de-
barred from doing business a leading
stockholder In a New England railroad
Is quoted in an interview as recommend
ing that the road "repudiate" some s27,-
900 of just Indebtedness, and that
laws be passed "forbiddng any one in
terest from voting more than 10 per cent.
of tho stock of the road" II Ia quite
safe TO say that this mans holdings do
not reach II per cent of the total
II will not do TO take too much for
granted in the way of return to COM
mon sense, Earnest, active, forc!ble work
is needed in the showing up and the
counteracting OF such folly. The people
who do nine -tenths of the voting do not
fully appreciate the dangers and the dam
age likely to be wrought to labor as we'll
as to capital II the national steering wheel
is not sharply yanked toward the right
path. We are going head first and hell
bent into the bushes and over the rocks

his Secretary OF the Treasury over the
smallness OF the returns from the Income
tax and the declaration by the Admins
tration that the low yield Is probably due
to All evasion of the income tax by u
large number Of people who ought to make
a larger return under the tax law than
they have done II seems worth while TO
refer to a criticism of the income tax law
made at the time the law was passed BY
THE SUN. and, In fact. by competent au-
thoritles generally. This ran TO the effect
that the yield from the tax was sure to
be below current expectations, because
sufficient account had not been taken In
calculating the yield OF the loss that the
Treasury would sustain by the abolition
OF the corporation tax, which was de-
creed simultaneously with the passage OF
the Income tax law.
The law provided that II the normal tax
was deducted and withheld on any part
OF the income at the source or II any part
of the Income was received az dividends
upon the stock or upon the net earnings
OF any corporation which was taxable
upon It's net Income. such income should
be deducted from the individuals total
net Income for the purpose Of calculating
the amount OF income on which the ndl-
vidual was liable for the normal tax of
one per cent. IL Is very clear that with
this provision In force and with the old
corporation tax abolished the Govern
ment would be In receipt from a large
proportion of the population of the coun-
try OF financial return not In excess OF
that formerly received from the corpora
ton tax itself; that Is. so Far as income
from stocks and practicable all corpora
tons was concerned the Government
would be In receipt under the income tax
law OF no greater revenue than II for
merly received from the corporation tax,
except In cases where payments were
made by people whose incomes were sub
ject TO more than the normal tax. or OF
people whose incomes were greater than
$4,000.
II Is or ought to be well known tina,
the vast bulk of incomes received in tn.
shape of corporation dividends Is paid out
to small stockholders. or at any rate tC
individuals whose Income is less than
100000 a year. and thus Is subject only
to the normal income tax OF one per cent.
But II Is very doubtful. nevertheless. II
this fact was sufficiently considered by
the trainers of the income tax law.
