TWO KINDS OF RICH MEN.

ing Of the contest between T. 8. New
berry, now by grace Of the courts
and the senate a member Of our house
Of lords, and Henry Ford, who needs
no Identification, that it throws on the
screen Of public life specimen. Of
two sorts Of rich men.
Both are: very rich. If called upon
to do it, Ford could lay down on the
table dollar for dollar against all the
Newbery tribe could produce, and beat
them at it.
But Ford refused to do it. He
refused to buy y his election. He Of:
fered himself to the electors Of Michi-
gan in an honorable way, and most
people who know think he got the
votes, in spite Of the despicable poll
teal lodges Of the Nowberry family
to put their favoritc scion in the SEN
ate.
One man: stayed at homo. The other
went to the senate. The one stands
higher than: ever in public esteem, in
spite Of some odd notions. As he rose,
Ncwberry went down. Who has any
respect for Newberrys Not the mem.
bers of the senate, for they hated
themselves as they seated him.. Not
the people Of Michigan, for they were
Inundated.
| So far as public policies are con-
eerned, his championship Of anything
is black eye for it. He is a minus
quantity in Michigan's influence. If
he wants measure to pass, the. best
thing he, can do for it is to. speak
against it; and vote for it. And vice
versa.
Ford, because Of his fine determi-
nation as to the function Of money
in this world, stands as compared with
Newbcrry, as an antidote for the New
berry poison.
Ford is doing more for good in his
defeat than Newberry could possibly
do through his dubious and dark sue
cess.
Nowberry is gone. Ford has ar
rived.

REFUSE TO BE FOOLED.

+, is not easy to bamboozle the
farmers as some people imagine.
When the railroads few weeks
ago announced a cut Of 10 per cent
in freight rates on all farm products
sid attempted to substitute it for the
II; per cent reduction in rates on hay
End grain ordered by the Interstate
.cnmcrec Commission, they thought
trey would succeed in pulling the wool
over the eyes OF "Oll Reubcn.'
But they were mistaken. The Iowa
Homestead, an agricultural paper
which enters $4,000 farm houses in
Iowa. in reviewing the effort of West
tru farmers to secure just freight
rates. declares:

THE SALES TAX AGAIN.

This is a good time to urge your
Senators and Congressman to vote
against the "sales taxi which will
be brought forward again during this
session Of Congress.
Powerful interests are financing
the propaganda in support of this
vicious tax. They will not be sat-
isfied until they substitute it for the
income tax, which is hitting their
pocketbooks very hard.
Just now they are telling the peo-
pie that Canada has adopted the sales
tax and that every one is enthusiastic
about it.
Canada has sales tax and it has
resulted in transferring a large part
Of the burdens Of government from
the rich to the moderately well-to- do:
A Canadian correspondent points
out that in this country = man with
a wife and three children and an
income Of $4,000 a: year would be
subject to no Federal tax, except
what he paid through. the tariff and
the taxes on cigars and tobacco.
A man in Canada, similarly situat.
ed, would pay an income tax Of 81
and a "sales taxi Of $31.1o or .
total Of $3.50.
That tells the story. The income
tax compels men to contribute &C,
cording to their ability to pay.
The sales tax ignores ability to pay
and levies toll on everything mel
eat and use and wear.
Up to date Congress has defeated
this cruel and unjust tax but its sup
porters are returning to attack. Thi:
time they say they want sales tai

QUEENSLAND LABOR TO

The Queensland labor government
is carrying out its pledge to abolish
the legislative council, or upper
house, and the assembly has passed
a bill to this end as the first step.
The Queensland high court has csus-
tanned the validity Of this legislation.
The New South Wales labor gov
eminent is also pledged to abolish
the, upper house Of that state, but
as yet has failed to make its
pledge effective.
Opponents Of the second. house
insist that occasions for constitu-
tional conflict are increased and
the unity and vigor necessary. for
national action are diminished be-
cause Of the second house. From a
practical standpoint. opposition to
the second: house ,centers on the
fact that it Is the stronghold for
reaction, and that the veto power
over the lower house nullifies. the
