TAx

One of the proposals made by the
8 cretary of the treasury is that in the
levying of income taxes the income
should be divided into two parts, each
bearing a different rate Of taxation.
Mr.. Houston holds that income used
or spent should bear one rate, and in
come saved or invested, a different
and lower rate. The purpose, briefly
stated, is to place the heavier tax on
and the lighter on funds which are
conserved, thus giving a direct en-
couragement to thrift.
That lavish personal expenditure is
not good for the individual or the ma
ton. and that thr lift is an excellent
thing, to be encouraged wherever pos
sible, will scarcely be questioned.
just how far a taxing body should at
tempt to guide the disposition of the
funds of the people is an open ques-
lion. and still more doubtful is the
degree in which the plan proposed
will tend to achieve the ends sought.
Is the spending of money repre-
hensible, to be discouraged through
the operation of the tax laws? The
first items of expenditure which con-
Germ every citizen are those for the
necessaries of life-food, clothing.
and the like. Clearly these should be
taxed as lightly as Possible. And this
principle is recognized in. the tax
laws in the exemption from taxation
of a certain portion of the individu-
ais income, a portion supposed to
be sufficient to meet his immediate
personal needs. But beyond the
$4,000 Or $1,000 exemptions for heads
of. families and others, respectively,
there are expenditures which ever a
secretary of the treasury might find
it difficult to classify. An extra
thousand a year devoted to the edu-
cation of children would come under
the head Of money spent, and would
be taxed at the higher rate. The
same sum invested in business or de-
posted in the bank would be income
saved, and would pay the lover rate.
But the relative desirability of the
two uses of one would depend entirely
on the circumstances of the partic-
ular case, and it is impossible to pre-
pare a formal schedule which would
cover them properly.
Aslarge part Of the income of many
wealthy men is spent in benefactions.
Should h money with which a man
endows a hospital lie taxed at a high
Ter rate than if he kept it tied up in
an old sock? Bene.actions up to a
certain figure are exempted, as IN
come tax payers know, but the ex-
emption is limited very strictly to a
small percentage. II the income.
The impossibility of differentiating
properly between the two classes
would make tt satisfactory working
of such a plan impossible, and there
is in addition the very practical OBJ
lection that its adoption would intro
ducc another element of. complica-
ton into a system which is first Of all
in need of simplifcation. a

LUCK.
Luck had a favor to bestow
And wondered where to let it go
N lay man on earth" said she;
Shall get this happy gift from me.
IT will hot pass it to the man
Who will not do the best he car.
II will not make this splendid gift
n who has not practiced thrift
1T shall not benefit deceit.
Nor help the man who's played the
cheat.
"He that has failed to fight with pluck
Shall never know the Goddess Luck.
'I'll look around a bit to see
What man has earned some help from
me-"
She found a man whose hands were
soiled
Because from day to day he'd toiled
He'd dreamed by night and worked
by day
To make life's contest go his way.
He'd kept his post and daily shaved,
And something Of his wage he'd saved.
He'd clutched at every circumstances
Which might have been his colder,
chance.
The goddess smiled and then. kerr
she dropped her favor ii his lap.

IRELAND.

1t is easy enough at the distance of
hand a settlement of the tt oubles in
Ireland. People are doing i. right
along. The form of settlement varies
with tho point of view. Those who
regard the situation from one angle
maintain that the way to deal with
the question is for the British gov ern-
ment to withdraw all it's troops and
en1blems of authority from the island
and consent to the creation of Il sep
arate and Independent nation which
shall have sovereign and exclusive
jurisdiction over the entire territory.
Those equally pronounced in the OPP
poa.te opinion feel sure that the
proper course is that of a military
occupation in force, proclamation Of
martial lad throughout the country
counties, and the suppression of every
form of violence by oerwhe!ming
physical force.
These are quick and easy solutions
which the man on the street can elab-
crate at his pleasure, and there are
numerous people in this country who
cannot understand why one or other
of these methods was not adopted
long ago. =
Consideration of the former method
is complicated by the fact hat there
are two Irelands, north and south,
whose opinions on political subjects
are dramatically. opposed to each
other. Were Irish independence
granted, the next step would be the
efor of the south Of Irland to con-
cilatc Ulster. which would refuse to
be conciliated, OF to coercc Ulster, and
Ulster would object to being coerced.
But speculation on what would oc-
cur II independence were granted is
idle. The rest OF the United Kingdom
will not consent to the separation of
Ireland any more than the rest of
the United States sixty years ago
would consent to the separation OF
eleven states from the union, or any
more than the United States now,
would consent to the erection OF the
New England states into separate
republic. /.
In the American civil war there
was no question AZ to what tho people
Of the southern states desired. Nor
was there any comparison between
their situation and that IN ireland.
They had e~Jtablished ! government

'Other factors have contributed.
All credit in North Dakota has been
in . fluttery condition. thanks to the
wildcat financing of the Nonpartsan
league, which conferred in certain con-
s%picuous banks. Nor can any one
out there forget that before Townley
became rcformer and political savior
Of his fellow man he plunged in flax
farming like any wicked operator and
failed for a large amount, singing
every n round about from the
banks to the laborers. The funda-
mental soundness of the state is un-
questionable. Until it turns it's face
from the Townley experiments with
state Socialism it is likely to have a

H.BE MUST SERVE.

The federal supreme u has af-
irmed the conviction and sentence
4 Joseph Gilbert, Minnesota Social
st, Nonpartisan league organizer and
associate OF A. c. Townley. on the
Sharge of interfering with recruiting
While the United States was at war.
Gilbert was tried and convicted un-
Ter a Minnesota statute. The speech
sor which he was brought to trial
vas delivered on August Is, 1917. He
vas arrested shortly thereafter, and
vas brought to trial in he following
May. Being convicted, he appealed
eirst to the state supreme court and
hen to the federal supreme court,
and in each case the findings of the
sower court were approved.
Men OF Gilberl's type are fond Of
s.riticising the courts together with
he other institutions of the United
States, and they point to 8 in
which men of wealth, associated with
great business enterprises, are able
sometimes to delay action when they
are brought to trial or charges of
violating laws. There is sometimes
The direct statement and sometimes
The plain inference that the processes
Of the courts are shaped in the inter-
est Of the rich and powerful, while
the poor man and the poor mans
friend are railroaded to prison in the
most summary and high-handed man
ner.
Gilbert has posed as the friend of
the plain citizen. Three years and
-four months ago he acclaimed vio-
lently and extensively against the
government of the nation at a time
when the country was at war with
a mighty combination of foreign
powers, and when popular feeling
ran high and passion was easily
aroused. The language which he
used on the particular occasion in
question was similar to that which
he had been in the habit of using,
and which he continued to use freely
thereafter. He was not seized by
military authority and stood up
against a blank wall and snot. He
was not torn limb from limb or
hanged to a telegraph pole by an in
Sdignant populace. Instead, he was
arrested in the ordinary way by q
peace officer on formal complaint
having been made and Indictment
returned. He was placed on trial be-
iore a jury which he assisted in
choosing. and with which he declared
himself satisfied. He was given OPP
portunity to defend himself. The
jury unanimously found him guilty.
&i:pon his demand his case was re
vowed by the highes> courts, first of
n tho state, n then of the nation, and
he was given full opportunity to test
the constitutionality of the law, the
regularity Of the procedure and the
ssufficiency Of the evidence. .
has taken three years and four
&hloufiisi from the commission OF the
offense to reach the final disposition
{ of the case. III the meantime the
man has been at large, preaching
b scdition whenever tho spirit moved
/ him to do so. and has again beer
convicted of a similar offense COM
4 mitted on another occasion. Having
exhausted all tho possibilities OF the
laws delay. he will go to prison. And
when he docs go, a lot of emotional
people will weep over him as a martyr
and u bewail his Incarceration by q
cruel and corrupt government for a
political %offensc.
