Here is a snapshot OF Tom
Taggart, taken the other day
when he didn't know he was DE-
ing photographed.
The big boss of the Hoosiar
state, who successfully weathered
the Terre Haute scandal which
sent a score of officials to Fort
Leavenworth, without SO much as
a mention of his name, has been
indicted by the Marion county
grand jury. The charge is con-
spiracy to commit felonies such as
are defined by the election laws
of the state, and for violation of
the laws against bribery and
blackmail. Taggart has supplied
bonds.
While Taggart has been the
field leader, the acknowledged
boss of Indiana, it is generally un-
derstood that his hacker is Craw-
ford Fairbanks, millionaire brew
er and capitalist of Terre Haute.

Plan GARBAGE FILL

Tacoma's first step towards a
municipal garbage system was
taken today when the city council
authorized the health department
and the department of public
works to experiment with a sani-
tary fill in the South Tacoma
marsh.
If the fill proves effective, 9TH
ers will be inaugurated in various
parts of the city, thus eliminating
the long haul for garbage dispos-
al, and providing simple step
towards municipal garbage col
lection.
Seattle has 12 sanitary fills
and they have proved enormously
successful in the two years they
have been in operation.

Vice President Marshall, using his authority 70

dav. this time by vote of 46 to 80. This rebuKe
shows that there are many Democratic Senators
who are lukewarm in their support Of the bill,
although they may be pledged to support the
President on the main issue. Mr.. Hitchcock, oil
Nebraska. said yesterday that in his opinion not
one-half of the Democratic Senators believed IN

All that is ancient history to-day-so ancient
that we are apt to forget the storm OF protest
which these simple acts Of justice aroused. Con-
sentative minds were shocked by the thought Of
higher education, just as they are shocked by the
thought of suffrage to-day. 1t was proved again

asserted to-day. In fact, by going back to the
files of that period and substituting the ballot for
trigonometry our anti-suffrage friends will find
whole shelf of eloquence ready to their needs.

Superintendent Riley's report shows that he
has no doubts about the success of 'prison re-
FORM" Granting of privileges for good conduct
and efficient work, he says has brought better
spirit among the inmates than did the old sys-
TEN of punishment for infractions of arbitrary
rules. Outdoor exercise and recreation, where
possible, have brought better health to the con-
victs. Outdoor work-road building, forestry,
farming and lumbering-was the greatest sue
cess of all the experiments of the new era
There were 694 men at road work. They lived
in farmhouses and camps; their living cost little
more than if they had been in prison; the state
obtained the benefit of their work, while they
profited in health and morale. Mr.. Riley urges
that the number of prisoners used for road work
this wear be double the number sent out last
year.
As long as the idea prevails that society sends
criminals to Jail to obtain revenge on them for
breaking the laws there will be scoffers at any
thing savoring Of gentleness and humanity in the
of prisoners. Fortunately that idea is
passing out and the modern theory Of making
prisons places of discipline and training to hit
lawbreakers 10 go back into the world as law
is taking its place.

The Governor Stands by His Tax Re
form Proposal.

Governor Whitman has let it be known that he
has no intention Of taking the back track on his
proposal to remove from the Controller the power
10 levy corporation taxes and place it in the new
Tax Department. That is one of the most impor-
tant features Of the Governors tax reform bill.
Lacking it the bill will be like Hamlet" with
Hamlet left out. 1t is, therefore, gratifying to
have authoritative denial of the recent reports
that the Governor and Controller Travis had com,
promised this question.
1t is bad theory and worse practice 10 have the
Controllers Office levyng taxes. That function of
government belongs in whatever agency there is
20 handle tax matters; it does not belong in an
Office which is primarily and chiefly an auditor
bureau for the state Transferring it would dis
turb job holders and the distribution of future
patronage. That is a mighty slim reason for OPP
position Yet it is the best and strongest which
has appeared against the BILL 1t certainly should
not prevail.

Why Must Ii Criticise Its Bene-
factors?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Formerly philanthropy was
looked upon as a civic grace, and phi
lanthropists were universally held in
honor. To-day we have the chairman
of Congressional investigating COM
mission, avowedly hostile, practising
the tones and methods of a cross
examining lawyer against such wit
nesses as Andrew Carnegie and
John 7. Rockefeller to extort from
them confession that they have
been giving away hundreds of mill
ions of dollars with evil intent,
and, in the course of the investigation,
recognized leader of the Socialist
political party openly declared that
by their henefactions they blunt the
edge of public criticism.
If criticism of these men for the
past twenty years has been blunted, in
the name of all billingsgate what
"serpent's tooth" would have described
it had it been sharpened?

The attitude of England at the time
Of the Civil War was technically neu-
trail. but hardly unbiased, England
declared neutrality but also recog-
nized the Confederacy, at the very be-
ginning of the trouble. English Tory
ism sympathized with the feudal feel
ing of the Southern States; the manu-
featuring towns, starving because they
could get no cotton for their looms,
hated the North because, in fine, they
were hungry. Some of the best minds
in England, men who fought for re-
form at home, were equally for 1t
abroad, and managed to preserve the
balance ut Westminster; they were for
the North. / really don't know what
was Germany's attitude at that time.
Will the editor of The Tribune inform
US in footnote? | suppose the Ger
mans didn't care much; it probably did
not affect them. A few Radicals, re-
Numbering '48, may have prayed for
the North; it is certain that the Ger
man government, if it contained still any
of the butchers of '4S, would not grieve
over the possible ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
a form Of government they hated and
QlSDlSeu. let L lHlHh lHty "Ci-
neutral de facto and de jure. Am
right? | am sure, anyway, they had
no Alabama claims to pay!
But Germanys attitude during the
Spanish American War-one remembers
that. Technically neutral, certainly
/ fancy, though, that the attitude OF
that German commander at Manila
Bay was one of profound irritation and
surprise when Dewey sent shot across
his bows to bid him mind his manners.
1t may be merely that as German
he had no manners; it may be that he
had his instructions from Berlin. "One
Anxious to Know" will have to ask the
Kaiser. The attitude of England then
was strictly neutral; that OF her naval
commander at Manila was sympathetic.
1t is said that he advised the German
commander to apologize.
| hope this won't further upset my
auestioner's neutrality. or course,
facts are troublesome things when one
has a pet viewpoint settled on in ad-
vance. Why not, then, forget about
the Civil War and King Charles's
Head, and form an opinion on the
present conflict on its own merits and
the facts in the case, not
thinking on old villanies that time
has brought to naught."
