and visited all points Of interest. They
motored in the park for distance Of
eighty miles and completed their ex-
ploration on horses, burros, by stage,
by boat and on foot. Mr.. Crane says
that the party found walking most
satisfactory. The camps are located
about ten miles apart and they had
no trouble in keeping ahead Of those
who were travelling on horseback.
He speaks in complimentary man

in the park. They treat the visitors
in very courteous manner. The seem

WAR revenue
TAX IS PLANNED
LOUD PROTEST WILL GO UP BE-
CAUSE OF ITS UNFAIRNESS-
WHISKEY, TOBACCO AND 9TH
Err LUXURIES NOT TAXED.

The details Of the war revenue tax
are now complete and the Independent
believes that the measure will prove
very unpopular for in many ways it is
not just. Its principle is wrong. 1t
could not be otherwise in tax that
depends on weight, bulk and distance.
Are diamonds to 60 free while coal is
heavily burdened? The tax in the
first instance would fall on the ship
per, to whose freight bill the railroad
company is expected to add three per
cent, retaining one per cent Of the
amount collected for its trouble. It
will be remembered how the eight or
ten cents added to the cost Of mining
IA ton Of coal by the Roosevelt strike
arbitration swelled to 25 cents q ton
when the coal reached the consumer.
The emergency tax should be raised
by taxing beer, whiskey, wine, tobacco
and other luxuries. The tax on beer
and wine is to be raised but whiskey
remains the same. The whiskey drink
er pours out his own drink, so there
is no way to regulate the size Of it.
It appears Us tho the whiskey inter
ests had gotten busy down at Wash
ington.
The new provision will tax banks
with q capital and surplus not exceed
ing $4,000, $50 year, and 81 for
each additional thousand.
Stock brokers, $50.
Pawn brokers, $50.
Commercial brokers, $40.

Proprietors Of theatres, museums,

Circuses, 500.
Public exhibitions, $40.
Bowling alleys, billiard halls and
tobacco dealers are also included at q
smaller rate.
This is in addition to a stamp tax.
The stamp tax, subject to probable
revision BY the committee, in detail
follows: #
Bank checks, two cents.
Drafts, bills Of exchange, Internal
ional, two cents for each 800.
