New York, March 9.-tSpecial. )-Ihe Farewell remarks of Senator Burton of Ohio in the last moments of the ses- sion of Congress which ended on March 4 would have been read with qualification by the late George Westinghouse, were he now living Tn a few addresses deliv- cred by MT. Westinghouse, notably one at Atlanta several years ago, he spoke with emphasis of the stupendous wealth which the United States possessed in the form of natural energy which can be econom- cally converted into power. It was, how ever in private conversation that MT. Westinghouse spoke with the greatest earnestness and, of course. with greater frequency than was characteristic of his public addresses of this energy, what the economic saving to the American peo- ple would be if it were utilized almost always insisting that with this energy put to use there could be no question about the pre-eminent position of the United States within a few years as manufac- turing nation, and that, too, without i'm pairing our agricultural resources and productiyeness
 Senator Burton. in his closing remarks HIS StndIOT, Iedily ecuoeu ditnouSn WltH- out any plagiarism, some things which MT. Westinghouse said in his Atlanta ad- dress. He spoke of the fact that there is energy equivalent to 300Oo,000 horsepower sn the currents of waterfalls and streams of the United States MT. Westinghouse in his Atlanta address demonstrated, as he thought satisfactorily, that the streams that flow through the southern states contain native energy which, if utilized, would operate almost all of the industries of the south, would furnish power for highway trolleys and for many of the railroads, and could be made avail able through irrigation plants for the inn provement of agricultural lands.
 Senator Burton did not speak of the manner in which this water power, most of which now goes to waste, can be con veniently and economically converted into available energy for manufacturing and for the movement of cars. He did

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Inequality of Taxation the Editor of The Age Herald.


 The plan of taxation in operation for many years, is not only wrong in prin- ciple, but injurious in action, as l will endeavor to show. 4N rs-F
 A man died, and willed to his widow for life. house, and at her death to be sold, and the amount derived from the sale, to be divided amongst his children.
 This widow tried hard to make liv- ing for herself and children, but could earn only few dollars per week, per haps two or three dollars A friend let her have a cottage rent free, so that she could rent her house. She has two infant children to support, feed, clothe and educate beside herself, and her en- tire income Is often not over $6 per week. including the rent she gets from her house. Her property is assessed at about $500. on which the taxes the past year was s37, which she was abso- lutely unable to pay. If the taxes are not paid her little property would be sold for taxes and she would lose her all. A friend who has absolutely no in = terest in the property has for the past three years paid her taxes for her, in and the children. She does not want to display her condition, and ask for charity, still it keeps her awake many a night.
 The income tax, which is the only cor rect kind of taxation. would give her some chance, but the present system of taxation would rob her, by fulfilling the Bible quotation, And from him that hath not shall be taken away, even that he hath"
 Again, a man starting in business. with say $200 or $500 capital, buys his press, paper, etc, and goes out drum ming, getting a few chance jobs, but to do that has to pay a privilege tax, and has, as competitor the Baptist or Methodist publishing houses, and who pay nothing, on the plea that they are religious and educational institutions.
 If they are such! they should be stopped from competing doing job work. thus taking away from the small print CT part of the work for which he pays a privilege tax.
 The boasted liberty is not liberty at all except for the man with wealth, be- cause the poor really cannot save him. self from this form of robbery, and to tax property and then to confiscate it because the owner is too poor to pay the taxes is not only unjust but is only another form of robbery of the poor. Therefore there is only one form of legitimate taxation and that is the in come tax. for government, state. county and city. The income tax whether started at minimum of say $500. or at a higher minimum, would be just. as everyone would be on nearer equality. as each would pay according to his means.
 Please agitate this question, and have the land tax and the privilege taxes repealed, and the income tax substi- tuted, and there will be more justice in 1t. and no matter what may be a persons calling in life, whether a mer- chant a preacher, school teacher or millionaire, each one would be some help to the country. state, county and city in which he or she lives
