GUITEAU'S PISTOL

After lying forgotten in the files of
the Attorney Generals office in Washing
ton for more than so years, the pistol with
which Charles j. Guiteau assassinated
President James A Garfield in 1881 has
been placed among other historical relics
in the National Museum.
Accompanying the pistol was the con-
fession signed by Guiteau after his COM
mission of the crime This confession,
written in a beautiful hand by the muir
derer himself, said in part:
Il think of General Garfields con-
dition as removal, and not as an as
sassination. My idea, simply stated, was
to remove as easily as possible Mr.. James
A. Garfield, quiet and good natured
citizen of Ohio, who temporarily occupied
the position of President of the United
States, and substitute in his place Mr.
Chester A. Arthur of New York, dis
tinguished and highly estimable gentle
man."
President Garfield was shot on July
2, 1881, and died on September 10. His
assassin, disappointed office seeker and
fanatic, was hanged for his crime the fol-
lowing year.

POPULATION TRENDS

Recent government reports give some
interesting figures concerning the coun-
try's population, which the Census Bureau
now estimates to be 1913, 429, 900, an in
crease of 908,000 over last year. The
bureau shows gains in all states except
Arizona, Mississippi, Montana. Nebraska,
New Mexico, Rhode Island, South Dakota
and Wisconsin.
The rate of increase in population is
slowly but steadily declining, due to re-
stricted immigration and a lower birth
rate. DR.. o. E. Baker of the Department
of Agriculture predicts that the country's
population will probably reach its peak by
1850, and slowly decline thereafter
Since the depression began in 1929,
there has been trend of population away
from towns and cities and toward the
farms. Last year this trend was checked
and now the movement is again toward the
towns and cities, doubtless because of in
creased opportunities for employment of
fered by industrial centers.
Farmers make up less than 25 per
cent of the total population at present
Last year 1,211 200 persons moved away
from farms, while only $4,000 moved to
them. There is nothing alarming about
this, however, as it is estimated that with
unrestricted production the United States
could supply its own needs for agricultural
products with 40 per cent less farmers

UPHELD ON OTHER GROUNDS

Making a plea for lighterweight
books, Professor William Lyon Phelps de-
clares that the reading in bed habit in
wolves dangers, for the accidental drop
ping of some of the present day volumes
carries the possibility of danger formerly
associated with turning loose paving
block or heavy brick.
The demand is justified. While we
do not share the bed-reading habit, re-
cent spell of sickness afforded experience
enough to see the justice of the Yale's pro-
lessons complaint. A sick man has bad
enough time getting we'll without the adj
ditional strain of holding up book weigh
ing several pounds!
However, we make no plea for able
bodied, physically-well readers who are
not only too lazy to hold themselves up but
likewise object to supporting the book
they are reading. These will soon be
wanting an automatic page-turner, and il
won't do to coddle them unduly. These
bed-readers need some physical exercise
and they might we'll stand the exertion
caused by maintaining the book they read

how federal AMI state governments
have supported themselves since the
Union was established.
The record shows that during the
century and a quarter that elapsed
between the ratification of the con-
stitution and the adoption of the
sixteen h amendment. Congress oe-
pended almost entirely on the cust~ms

taxes. On the other land, the. states

emergency purposes. there was mod
crate federal taxation of personal in
comes and the inheritance OF personal
property.
This distribution of sources was in
dictated, in a general way, by the
constitution. for it forbade federal
use of direct taxation except under
conditions that made i: quite imprac-
teal. The states re not forbidden to
levy excise taxes, but by general con-
sent these were left to the federal

Tax Sanity Remote

Professor of Public Finance, Princeton University

rveloped during the last twenty-three
years. For hundred and twenty-five
years the federal government used
chiefly the indirect taxes, while the
states used chiefly the direct taxes.
1t is well known that we have quite
| completely lost sight of this tradition
Il tax policy. The income tax amend
ment, effective in 1918, authorized fed
eral taxation of incomes without re-
gard to the original constitutional re-
| quirementS respecting federal direct
taxation. Since then Congress has so
completely usurped the income tax
field as TO destroy it for state taxation
purposes. The same thing has hap
pened with the inheritance tax. The
states developed this tax, fought the
battles for it through the courts, and
evolved its principles. Then Congress
seized 1t, some twenty years ago. and
the federal rates have been advanced
to levels that threaten the ultimate
extinction of estates and inheritances
to be taxed The states likewise dis
covered and developed the gasoline
tax, but Congress has also added
federal levy here.
During this period If invasion {

of the great bulk of the available
yield from historically important state
taxes, Congress has also frightened the
federal grip on the indirect taxes.
Nevertheless. the states have been
forced to turn to sales and other in
direct taxes in an effort to offset the
federal encroachments in direct taxa
ton.
1t is impossible to get back to sanity
in taxation, and it is futile to talk
about the American way of taxation.
until there can l a sufficient reduc-
ton of public expenditures to permit
of some basic tax readjustmentS. 1t is
hopeless to expect expenditure reduc-
ton without two other developments.
One is the elimination of the wastes
of governmental organization and
procedure. and the other is a drastic
shrinkage in the exaggerated notion
that now prevails with regard to the
value and importan of so much
governmental. action. A def1ation of
the governmental ego i one of the
first steps toward tax reform.
