OUR PROPOSED NEW POLICY or
TAXING EXPATRIATES.

Sen. Kenyon of Iowa has introduced a bill placing
heavy wealthy Americans who choose to live
abroad and spend their incomes from American prop
erty for the benefit Of foreigners.
Lord Aston as might be expected has the honor Of
being chief instigator of this law. This richest
expatriated American. formerly William Waldorf Aston
who raised to the peerage Jan. 1. would con
tribute about S5.00O0OO the support Of the
United States government under the maximum rate
IS per That is the rate proposed for incomes
over 100000 There would normal rate OF three
per cent of the existing per for ordi
nary Americans and supertaX ranging from four 70
% per cent for incomes upward of $4,000 a year.
The Cummins law would also lay a heavy hand on
the fortunes of wealthy American women married to
foreigners. 1t contemplates levy OF about IS
per cent on all dowers given to American girls
foreign marriages The significance of this
provision may be from the fact that the dowers Of
10 American women welded to British titles aggregate
$5O,OOO.OOO.
Some law is sure be enacted sooner later.

The street lighting has been greatly
reduced. The city used to pay this
money to the water company and to
the lighting company. Now, WITH
double the amount of hydrants and
treble the amount of street lights. it
pays only half as much for them.
The city street fund pays $50. 900
year for hydrants and $4,000 a
year for street lights. The remain
der OF the income is derived from the
private consumers who pay six cents
per kilowatt hour for electricity"
Kansas City, Kansas, with a popula-
ton of 100000 pays $4,000; South
Bend with $4,000 pays over $4,000
for street lighting. According TO the
foregoing item from the Kansas City
Times. through it's municipal cleo
trio plant, the city has three times
the amount of street lights that it
had when buying this current from a
private corporation and is paying
only one-half as much as they were
paying under their private corpora
ton lighting contract. Kansas City
seems to have been suffering along
the same lines that South Bend is
now suffering and the solution was
for the city TO own its own plant
The above report shows what they
have been able to do in three years
by a municipal electric lighting
plant. If the city Of South Bend
could treble its city lighting and at
the same time cut the expense of
lighting TO the taxpayers by one
half, it certainly would be worth the
effort. to say nothing about the ire
u.endous saving it would be to pri-
vate consumers
Fort Wayne, Indiana, has had sim
liar experience TO that of New Or
leans and Kansas City on account Of
having installed a municipal light
ing plant. In fact in every city in
the state where this has been done,
the same results have been accom-
plished. For il stance. Goshen has
maximum rate for house lighting OF
six cents per kilowatt, Anderson six
cents. LOgansport five cents, Fort
Wayne seven cents. and which will
soon be reduced TO five cents. We
are paying ten cents net What do
you think is the proper solution?
