Barge DwelIers of New York
l Harper's Magazine.

From Harper's Magazine
 The lot of the harbor bargeman is not one for commiseration. He is far more independent and content than his neiRhbors in the fetid hives or the tenement districts which he sees rom his barge as he floats past the river foot of Eastside streets. At evening his floating home Is moored In quiet dock He may sit on his bit of deck and enjoy his after supper pipe in quiet, as he gazes upon the dnrkling ripples of the water and listens to the dying roar of the city's busy day. His wife sits beside him. putting the last stitches in a gingham garment for their child. who already is in his bunk. Their cabin is bright and clean, without and within. White paint and green trimmings, bit of striped avn ing and little flagstaff arc its outc ward embellishments. Muslin curtains at it's tiny windows, geraniums on tho sills, a cheery nickel clock on Its own shelf above the stove, neat red table cloth, a homemade braided rug upon a bright oilcloth-these give charao- ter to the living room or galley" Within is the bedroom, perhaps six by eight feet, with a white iron bed and a bunk above its foot, In which the son and heir sleeps peacefully There may be cottage in New Jersey or down Long Island waiting this worthy couple when winters leo closes the Hudson and eifds their season's work, but they make the barge their home while on it. Some of these barge homes shelter families of five or six persons On some of the large covered railroad barges the skipper's house Ia on the roof. Its dimensions may be 1xro pff {n a In the "parlor" one would not be sur- prised to find a sofa, a music machine and racks of records, and family por- traits in crayon, all according to usage ashore; while the captain, being of a sporting turn, takes his family to sail on a Sunday in a gorgeously painted punt of his own building. with lee- boards to make it weatherly. and a sail setting as neatly as the canvass of a cup defendar

improvement brought about by the i'm portation of fine stock
 Every day or so there is an auction sale of imported rams here, and not long ago a California Merino sold for s20O0 in gold. There is one estanciero who recently paid s150,0O0 for e9o imported sheep, and during my stay in the coun- try I have seen 100 rams which would sell at auction for $500 and upward apiece
 The wool clip of 1885 was sold for about sS6,0oo,o00, and since then 1t has risen as high in one year as s5e.O00,0O0 In 1912 the amount received for the wool was s5S,000000, and altogether, during the past generation, the country has gotten one billion and a half dollars from it's wool crop and something like $2O00O0,00O from the sheepskns. This does not take in the enormous receipts from frozen nut ton and lamb, which amount to hundreds of millions more?
 It is said that the sheep of the world are falling off in number. 1 doubt 1t. There were something like 400,00000O in 1875 and today the statistics show that there are 62S,000,000 and the Argentine republic has about one-sxth of the whole. The only country that has more sheep is Australia, which has S3,000,000 to Argen- tines 7s,000, 900 or S0,000000. The United States has 50.GOo, 900 sheep, Asiatic Russia S2, 100000 and Great Britain and Ireland about 27,000 GOO. There are in all South America only about 112, ,000,000. of which th's country has perhaps two-thirds. There are 10 sheep to every man, woman and child in the republic, or an average flock of 50 per family.
 But the sheep of Argentina are not di- vided up in that way. They are mostly in enormous holdings. I know several men who each own 100,oo0 sheep, and there is a Chilean stock company at the Straits of Magellan which is said to own in the neighborhood Of 2,0OO, 900. On the Alvear estate there are 100000 fine Lincolns. The Casares family, which has little farm of over 10000 acres, within a days ride of Buenor Aires, has s7,000 Lincoln sheep, and the San Julian Sheep company of Santa Cruz has something like 63, GOO lambs born every year. That estate is in a prov

LoydGeorge Planning New English Taxes Pay for the War

ation. Salt also might be taxed, as it has been before in England, and all sorts of manufactured goods might carry slight imposts. Of course the whole calculation must be regarded from the point of view of revenue pro- duction with the least possible friction and the most fruitful cause of frl,,tion would be anything h undu1y sent up the cost of livi. Every factor must be most carefully balanced against every other factor. The treas- ury experts realize also that it would be suicidal from political and natior- al point of view to lay the wholo bur- den on people of moderate means. The rich man Vay, therefore. expect . heavy increase in the supertax on wealth and humping imposts on arr ticles which are purely luxuries.
 In any case there need be no rear that England will have any real dif- ficulty in raising the moneys Even though the war Is costing $33S0 min- ute, as was stated by Herbert Samuel. president of the local government board, in a speech the other day, Eng- land is well able to stand the stra' n. Her aggregate wealth is estimated at something like s90.0o0,00O, 900 and her aggregate income at about S10.000,- 000, ,00O. A year of war at the pres ent price of $5,000,O00 day would cost England $1,s25.0O0,000 or less than ne-fifth of her income. When crs recollects that great part of the cost will be borne by posterity in the shape of loan it is easy to see how strong the financial position of England is.
 Lloyd-George has made a great.rep- utation as financier since the vwaf began. If he can devise way or ex- tracting double. or more than double, taxes from the pockets of the British people and at the same time making the method of payment easier than at present he will go down to history as the greatest expert in painless finance that the world has ever seen. He has sympathy and vision in a de- gree uncommon in politicians, ard it is quite possible that he will succeed.

WHAT HAS IT COT TO DO WITH ME?

What has it got to with me-" is a question we often ask ourselves about a matter. When we decide it has When we find later that 1t had real ly an immense amount to do with us we feel considerably annoyed.
 An acquaintance of mine had an ir- ritating experience of that kind a week or two ago at a party. One of the entertainments provided was a conjur- ing. exhibition. The conjurer did his tricks, apparently, to perfection, and great was the laughter. Then he did che which required a top hat concern ing which there could be mo decep- tion." So he asked permission to take top hat out of the hall. Everyone of the gentlemen present was quite willing and d servant disappeared and brought the required article. The trick was apparently huge success. True. the top hat seemed to be ruined. But conjurers always do that kind of thing Tor effect, you know. No one was go- ing to feel uncomfortable by the ap- parent ruin of that top hat.
 Later however, a disconcerting whisper spread around. It was the host who whispered Jones, who whis- pered Smith, who whispered Robinson, and so on, that the top hat had really come to grief. There was mo decep- tion' about it. The conjurer in most humble mood was ready to make the hat up to the gentleman who owned it." Now, my friend had arrived latc and he remembered the crowd of hats he had seen i'll the hall. He argued, therefore that it was at least a 20 to l chance it was not his hat, and he smiled. He was not going to worry. He remarked that he only hoped the owner of the hat did not happen to be baldheaded, as it was showing out side. He tried to find the fellow the

suffer in this way. The rich man, living on dividends from his Investments, is never bothered, for he always receives his dividends Hess income tax" This is called collecting the income tax at the source" The dividend earning company pays the tax in lump and deducts 1t from each shareholders profits.
 It is suggested that this method of de- duction at the source may be introduced if the tax on wages Is instituted. Elm ployers will be compelled to deduct the tax from wages week by week and either pay it over in a lump sum or by means of stamps. In this way the incidence of taxation would be little felt and the working man would adjust his weekly budget to the changed conditions.
 As a matter of fact, this tax on wages is not new thing in British financial expedients During the Napoleonic wars the limit of exemption from income tax was dropped as low as $250 year and there was no effort to sugar the pill for the payer. It is not suggested that the s a week. man should be compelled to pay now. but there is talk of fixing the exemption limit at s10 a week or even at $7.50 On this basis, supposing that the present rate of income tax were main- tained, the wage earner would pay about z cents on each dollar earned over S10 or S7.50 as the case might be- and this would be deducted from his wages each week by his employer, who would probably De compelled to place a stamp of that value on the workers card to show that the tax had been paid. It is hardly ilkeiy' however, that the full rate of S6 cents m the s now charged to the men over the $500 a year mark would be imposed on the wage earner.
 l am unable to secure any estimate of the amount that would be producea by such tax. The treasury experts are hard at work now figuring 1t out and the calculation is complicated oy all sorts of new factors. There afe' of course, the 100000 men withdraWn from wage earning to be taken into account on one side of the balance sheet. On the other side are the tn- creased employment and higher wages of those who have stayed at home Against these factors again Is the tn- creased cost of living which must be taken into account in fixing the ex- the former calculations of the political economists worthless. All that can be said definitely is that in normal times there are about 16.000.000 persons in this country who are classed as wage earners How many of them under present conditions would come within the taxable class it is impossible to say.
 Another phase of taxation that the treasury experts arc considering is the extension of the principle of taxing necessities. Coffee is not a pupular beverage In England and wouix pro- duce little revenue. but 2 greaw rsv- enue producer would bs sugar. which already bears ligbs burden of tax

of every half-pint of beer, was esti- mated to raise s325,OoO.oOO annually. This, even if the expectations were to be fulfilled, would not be enough, for it is the settled policy of Great Britain to, pay part of the cost of the war at least out of revenue and to avoid bur dening posterity with colossal national debt Of course in any case, the debt must be enormous, but the desire is to keep it within bounds as much as pos sible.
 The fact is. however that the new taxes are not going to produce any thing like what Lloyd-George esti- mated. The income tax collector is all ready finding out through the shoals of appeals for revised assessments that are pouring in on him, that the income tax paying class has been hard hit by the war. The working class is more prosperous than ever before because work is plentiful, wages are high and labor is scarce. For that very reason the employing class is making less profit than usual and even those who are lucky enough to be dealing iii goods wanted by the armies in the field are not making inflated profits as in previous wars, for Lord i<itch- ener is a keen buyer and sees that ali his subordinates get full value for the nations money that they spend. In addition to that hundreds of thou sands of young men who were in the income tax paying class have ex- changed their comfortably paid jobs For ha c41A iaf.ss. cI,yl 1i,,er Inx which is really about 36 cents Q day and, of course, must now be counted out as contributors to the revenue. Many others, too, who have been hit by the reduction of profits and the increased cost of living-food is up about 25 per cent in price now--are appealing to the income tax man for new assessments and even for permis- sion to pay by installments.
 Altogether it will be necessary to knock some millions year off the es- timated yield of the doubled income tax. The beer duty, too. has been dis appointing. The British workingm sn is stubborn creature with a keen sense of value, and for years he has been accustomed to pay 4 cents for his half pint of beer. He doesn't think It worth 5 cents and he declines to drink it. For twopence he can get "go" of rum or gin and he is turning tu the flerier liquors. on which the tax has not been increased at all. Then there are something like 100000 men. po- tential beer drinkers. enrolled in Kitcheners new army and very large proportion of them are taking to heart Lord Kitchener's homily on tenn perance. Beer. therefore, as revenue raiser has proved more or less of q broken reed.
 The only one of the new taxes which has come up to expectations is the extra 6 cents on tea. Tea is a neces-

to 30 degrees below zero. Great en- zines are employed to keep the pipes filled and they work day and night. The coils are covered with frost an inch thick, and when I entered the cham Der it was intensely cold. As stood at one end of the room I could see 1000 freezing carcasses hanging from the hooks in the ceiling with their heads next the floor. They were almost ready for shipment, and, when the chief engineer. who was my guide, lifted one down to show it to me, I found that its flesh was as hard as stone and that 1t would stand alone That carcass had been in the room 4S hours. and 1t was already perfectly hard. It weighed, I judge. 70 pounds. It was that of a shep three years old.
 Before shipping the carcasses are sewed up in fine white muslin cloths. They are then put in the cold storage cham bers of the steamers, where the tenn perature is almost as low as that of the freezing rooms, and are kept there un-

hat belonged to--and couldn't Sud- denly he became uneasy. Even the of- fer of a taxicab home and the promise of a new top hat in the morning failed to propitiate him. He expressed his surprise that people should open their doors to such dangerous idiots as coil Jurers, as he departed in kind of tur- ban made out of one of his hostess shawls.
 Strange what a difference 1t makes when we discover that a thing we thought had nothing to do with us has everything in the world to do with us
 We are all apt in great and in little affairs to come wrongly to the conclu- sion that ''it has nothing to do with me-" Sometimes the mistake is brought no possibility of our not recogniz- ing it.
 Frank Lockwood, the celebrated bar rister, related the story of an old mis- erly gentleman who lived in village remote from any town. There were three little shops in it until a man started new stores The emporium dealt in everything, and at what mar velously low prices!
 The old gentleman was delighted. When Lockwood wondered whether the business was quite fair--"What about the old shop folk?"-the old gentleman declared he did not care. "Alps fair in love and business" he chuckled; but If it were not fair, what has that got to do with me?" Eighteen months later, when Lockwood was again in the neighborhood. the old gentleman was rabid against that latest convenience" Lockwood asked him what it had got to do with him!
 Whats 1t got to do with me?v he shrieked. "Why. the scoundrel under gold all the other shopkeepers in the
