ENLIGHTENMENT
CHARGE TRIED IN
JUSTICE COURT

On Wednesday the 10Th H. Pilking-
ton was tried before jury in
Justices Court for embezzlement. The
evidence showed that some time ago
VIM. Richards gave the gentlemen 81
to send to San Quentin for sacks.
Mr.. Pilkngton took the money, went
down to the bank and secured a cash
ier's check which he showed to Messrs
Richards and Sonstedt and then went
to the Post Office, and as he SAID
mailed the check to the warden .
who. he says. returned the check
to him. He kept it and at later date
he went back to the bank. cashed the
check and that is the last that was
known OF the money by any person
except the chief actor. He claimed
at the trial to have given il to some
lady friend, a Miss Clark, to mail for
him while he was iii San Francisco. As
rear as we can learn the jury stood

Potatoe Buyers in the Valley

During the past week there have
been several potatoe buyers in the
valley wanting to contract potatoes
for delivery after they have been dug.
1t is understood, that they offered the
growers $1,000 per ton, but were sue
cessful in securing only a few cars
at this figure to he delivered from the
field. The crop OF potatoes in Mason
Valley this year is good one, and
buyers were well pleased with the
prospects of getting A stock from
this locality. 1t is without question
that the buyers OF potatoes will have
their eyes on Mason Valley this fall.

now SHALL We
PAY FOR THE WAR?
4 Constructive Criticism on the
House Revenue Bill.

There are two extreme theories. each
Of which may be dismissed with scant
courtesy. The one is that all war eX-
nanlitures should be betrayed by loans,
and the other is that all war expendi'
lures should be betrayed by taxes.
Each theory is untenable.
1t is indeed true that the burdens or
the war should be borne by the pres
emf rather than the future generation;
but this does not mean that they should
he borne by this years taxation.
Meeting all war expenses by taxation
makes the taxpayers in one or two
years bear the burden of benefits that
ought to be distributed at least over a
decade within the same generation.
In the second place. when expendi-
lures approach the gigantic sums or
present-day warfare. the tax-only pol
icy would require more than the total
surplus Of social income. Were this
absolutely necessary, the ensuing hav-
oc in the economic life OF the communi-
ty would have to be endured. But
where the disasters are so great ana
ut the same time SO unnecessary, the
tax-only policy may be declared i'm
practicable.
Secretary McAdoo had the right In
stinct and highly commendable cour-
age In deciding that substantial por-
ton. at least. OF the revenues should
be derived from taxation. But when
he hit upon the plan OF $3.50 per cent,
that is, Of raising one-half OF all do
nestle war expenditures by taxes. the
question arises whether he did not go
too far.
The relative proportion OF loans to
taxes is after all Il purely business
proposition. Not TO rely to large ex-
tent on loans at the outset Of II war Is
q mistake
Disadvantages Of Excessive Taxes. E
The disadvantages OF excessive taxes
at the outset OF the war are as follows :
/. Excessive taxes on consumption
will cause popular resentment.
=. Excessive taxes on industry will
disarrange business, damp enthusiasm
and restrict the spirit OF enterprise at
the very time when the opposite is
needed
3. Excessive taxes on incomes will de-
plete the surplus available for invest
ments and Interfere with the placing OF
the enormous loans which will be neces-
sary In any event.
4. Excessive taxes on wealth will
cause a serious dlmlnution of the in
comes which are at present largely
drawn upon for the support OF educn-
tional and phianthropic enterprises.
Moreover. these sources OF support
would be dried up precisely at the time
when the need would be greatest.
S. Excessive taxation at the outset OF
the war will reduce the elasticity avail
able for the increasing demands that
are soon to come.
