... Failure
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, July 12.-Entry of
the republican troops into Peking
was announced in a dispatch to the
Chinese legation yesterday indieating
that the monarchical coup d'etat had
been a complete failure. The dis
patch was the first in two weeks to
come through from the Peking for

General Chang Hsun, the military
adventurer responsible for the coup,
General Chang has withdrawn to
the imperial city, sacred section of
Peking, where it is reported his
troops are fast deserting him. Es-
cape is cut OFF and officials here be-
lieve that at last China is about to
rid herself of a military leader who
has been a thorn in the side of the
republic ever since it's inception.
The legation dispatches are not
clear as to whether President Ii, re-
ported to have fed to the Japanese
embassy in Peking for safety, has
returned to his Office or whether

is still serving.
son why Ii should not take over the
authority once again.
Yesterdays dispatches reported
the resignation of DR. Wu Ting Fang
as minister of foreign affairs on the
ground of i'll health. DIR. WI has re-
signed several times before but it is
thought that now that the republic
has weathered its most serious
storm, he will retire from Office per-
manently.
Inquiry will undoubtedly be made
to determine the source of Chang's
support, On June 20 he asked the
Japanese minister at Peking what
Japan's attitude would be towards
a restoration Of the monarchy and
received the reply that Japan would
not concern herself with Chinese
affairs. A few days ago official inti-
nations came from Japan that Ger
man money had been used in an at
tempt to SOW discord in China and
make actual belligerency impossible.

BONEHEADED
FINANCE

The city that uses the saloon bust
ness as source of revenue violates
three fundamental principles of taxa
ton:
|. Taxes should be so levied as to
interfere as little as possible with the
productive energies of the people.
The saloon license-tax comes largely
out of the pockets OF the workingmen.
The liquor they receive in return
weakons them physically. makes them
more liable to accidents and sickness,
and lessons their capacity as wage
earners, The saloon, in brief. is a
tremendous drain upon the productive
energy of a community.
2. A system of taxation which des-
troys thrift and prevents the aceumu-
lations OF taxable wealth. defeats its
own end. The saloon makes SHIFT
less spenders of many OF its patrons.
1t Is remarkable fact that in every
city that has voted out the saloon,
deposits in savings banks and build
ing associations have greatly in
creased More homes are built and
eventually this accumulated wealth
finds its way on the tax duplicate.
3. A revenue system that leads to
extravaganza and graft in the ex-
penditures of the city also defeats
its own end Taxes are levied to de-
fray the expenses OF government. 1t
is an accepted fact that the saloon
increases those expenses through in
creased court costs and through the
extravaganza and graft almost always
found in saloon towns.
The more you study the revenue
system of wet cities, the more you
will become convinced that the sa-
loon is a tax-maker and not a tax
payer.
