English Income Tax Troubles.
I'm the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Dipping into a volume of John Nor
ley's life of Gladstone was i'm
pressed with the fact that the tribu-
lations and vexations occasioned by
the Inauguration of income taxes here
are nothing new or peculiar to our
selves. Neither are the perplexities
and apparent contradictions arising
out of the Interpretation of the pro-
visions of the law. They are hoary
with age. Reviewing Gladstone's eX-
perience, his biographer says that
throughout the the greater part of his
political career this subject gave him
more anxiety than anything else. For
forty years it was the veSing ques-
ton of public finance. 1t was upon
Gladstone that the burden of the
achievement fell, and the toll was
huge. He used afterward to say that
he had been concerned in four re-
visions of the tariff, and that the in
come tax feature caused him more
trouble than all others put together.
He also said that the task of framing
1t and putting 1t in operation was not
herculean, for the reason that Her
cules couldn't have done it, Morley
also describes the unpopularity of this
tax when it was first introduced. 1t
is hardly possible to realize the gen.
eral horror in which the impost was
then enveloped, he says Undertaking
to procure the destruction of all the
public books and papers in which the
odious accounts were recorded only
illustrates the intensity of the feel
ing against what was denounced as
the dire hydra. We have hardly
reached this state of feeling here as

New Jerseys First Monopoly.

History tells us that New Jersey
began to be troubled by monopoly
as early as 1907, for in that year the
provincial governor granted to one
man the exclusive right to carry
goods between Burlington and Perth
Amboy. His success caused feeling
among his would-be competitors and
complaint was made to the Assem-
bly,. This body protested to Lord
Cornbury, then governor, that pat
ents had been granted to individuals
to transport goods from Burlington
to Perth Amboy to the exclusion Of
others, which was deemed not only
cor trary to statutes regarding mo-
nopolies, but destructive to the free
dom which trade and commerce
ought to have"

The Forgotten Woman.

From the Indianapolis News
In the effort at improving farm con-
ditions, which the Agricultural De-
partment is making in many ways, a
new departure Is chronicled. Hereto
fore, aside from the police work of
pure food inspection, agricultural
quarantine and the like, the effort
has been chiefly toward promoting
the science of production on the
farm, and the promotion of knowl-
edge of shipping and selling. SO we
are having consideration of better
markets, better shipping facilities, the
extension of rural credits and so on.
But now Secretary Houston calls at
tention to that gtalked-of sub
ject, the position of women OH the
farm. One sentence of his statement
is this:
ION many farms where there is al
WAYS money enough to buy the latest
agricultural appliances there is sell
dom a surplus to provide the woman
in her productive work with power
machinery that will tighten her physi-
cal labor, or running water that will
relieve her of the burden of carrying
from the pump all water that is used
in the household"
For years this has been discussed.
The insanity of farmers wives from
loneliness and hard work has been one
phase of the crying need for better
social conditions in the country. The
department sent circulars to 10000
farmers wives, asking them to state
their needs. The response was large
and pathetic. The overwork of farm
women and the fear of the effect of
1t on their children was the burden
of many replies. Many asked the de-
partment to prove to the men that
women's work is worth something in

Women in Law Offices.

From The Outlook.
Stenography and typewriting have
also introduced an important change
in the personnel of the modern law
Office. 1t would, ] think, be safe to
say that before 1870 no office could be
found in the city of New York in
which a woman was employed as a
part of the working force. The adj
vent of typewriting and stenography
the attractive employment it affords,
the comparatively short business
hours, the liberal salaries paid-from
IS to $40 weekly to a beginner to as
high as 500 and sometimes, but rarely,
$50 q week to the more experienced
have led large numbers of young
women to qualify themselves for these
positions.
Like the typewriting machine, the
woman stenographer is found in al
most every office, and it must be said
that where a good fundamental
knowledge of English grammar and
punctuation exists the work produced
by an intelligent woman is of the
highest quality. When, however, this
fundamental knowledge is lacking,
woman, as in other instances, proves
to be a delusion and snare.
While II is undoubtedly true that an
office takes it's tone largely from the
character of the employer, my expert
ence is that the presence of right
thinking and dignified young woman
in an office tends to elevate its tone
by the restraining influence of her.
presence upon the clerks and students,
preventing the use of language which
might otherwise escape and actions
which might be open to criticism.
Undoubtedly there is a vast difference
in the influence which these women
employees exert, but in offices in which
self-respect and character count for
something, care being exercised in
their selection, the result Is an in
fluence of very great value.

4 dollars and cents. Others said that
their own lot is hopeless and asked
only that better schools, cheaper
books, more lectures, libraries and
museums be provided for their chill
dren.
The conclusion is what has been
recognized for years, that the neglect
of women on the farm is an atrocious
reality, a serious indictment of our
civilization. More comfort, more con-
yeniences, more company are crying
needs in the life of the farmers
wives Bathrooms are worth more
than automobiles, running water
more than some other things. 1t is
in keeping with the American spirit
of optimism to feel that things are
not so bad as they have been with all
of the recent acquisitions of the
farmer. But these are only feeble be-
ginnings. If social workers want to
reach one of the sorest spots in our
civilization and want to save the fine
womanhood that is wearing itself out
in hopeless and largely needless
drudgery, let them seek to know the
routine of daily life among women
on the farm. 1t is a nationwide con-
dition and a pitiful one.
Long Forgotten Tropical Colony.
From the Boston Transcript.
That the impulse of the Northern
white man to take a personal han
in reaping the riches of the tropics is
no new thing. and that 1t is fairly
certain to make an extraordinary
showing under modern tropical sani-
tation is suggested by the pathetic
history of the famous Scotch colony
at Darien in the closing years of the
seventeenth century. This first at
tempt at white. commercial colonial
tion of the American tropics reyolves
about one William mot "Billy') Pat
terson.
Patterson was a Seotchman, and he
founded the Bank of England. His
partners in the bank. considering him
too much of an adventurer finally
ousted him. Then he conceived the
idea of enriching poverty-stricken
Scotland by founding a great trading
colony in Central America. He form
ed a company, to which the Scots
contributed of their scanty coin, and
four ships carried Patterson and his
colony to the shores of Darien, where
it was planned to trade with the In
dams. and transfer ship freight to
and from East India overland across
the isthmus. There were some weak
spots in the scheme. as for instance
that thew provided for the basis of
trade with the Indian quantities of
Scotch plaids, in wool. Also, they
knew nothing of combating tropical
diseases. and in a very short time
yellow fever and malaria had practi-
cally destroyed the colony. Patterson
and his ships returned to Scotland,
where the subscribers to the venture
were absolutely incredulous of fall
ure. A fresh lot of colonists set out.
Again disease swept the colony. A
few of the colonists reached ports fur
Their to the north. in this country,
then the British Colonies, and Patter-
son himself was rescued. if 1t may
be called that, insane.
The certainty of United States ex-
ploitation of the South American
tropics lies in the new safety of such
ventures, and in the fact that capital
can earn more there than in most Of
the other undertakings open to 1t.
Modern medicine has converted a
gamble into a sure thing.
