Tbe income tax which slept for some ten years after the adverse de- elaion of the supreme court fs again s subject for discussion. The pres!- lent’s recognition has brought ont the fact that quitea change has zone on in public sentiment favor- able tothe tax, but it has also vrougbt out the fact equally inter- sting that the republican leaders ire not going to favor the tax. The St. Louis Globe Democrat, which cau generally be relied upon to take the side of predatory wealth, calls a hult on the income tax. I is afraid suas so much money would be ralsed by the income tax that no import luties would be necessary. This sug- xection alone will bring all the bene- ficlaries ola high tariff Into oppo- sition, They have been collecting incomes through the tariff law, and O18 of pure gratitude ought to be willing to pay an income tax, but gratitude ts not a prominent quality among those whoenjoy special privi- leges. They come to regard them as vested rights, If the president un dertakes to push the income tax, he will have to rely for his support up- on the democrats and upon those republicans who are in a position to give expression to their sense of jus- tice. The Globe-Democrat editorial may be accepted as evidence that there will be strong plutocratie op position to the income tax. The discuesion, however, has brought out the fact that some of the rich men have come over to the side of those who belleve {n the juet- ness of the income tax. Mr. M. E. Ingalls, former president of the Big Four railroad and an active oppo- nent of the democratic party in 1896, declares that he is in favor of an in- come tax, but he fs also in favor of an income tax, but does not want It levied upon punitive principles, but as a matter of revenue. Mr. Carnegie {s opposed to the income tax, but fe in favor of aninheritance tax. He belleves that rich men ought to be compelled to turn over some of their surplus wealth at death. At the Civic Federation meeting in New York the other day he sald: “Our country failsin its duty if 16 does not exact & share, a tremendous share of the estate of the enormous- ly wealthy man upon his death. The money belongs to the community. Do not mistake me. I do not advo- cate the making of a mana pauper or the pauperizing of his children, but itis not the millionatre who made the wealth. He did not make the ore or the coal or the gold that he dug out of the ground. The Mon- tana copper mine owner did not make his wealth; it belongs in the abstract tothe people who use it and who produce the use which makes it valuable. Iam with the president, then, to tax heavily by graduated taxation every man who dies leaving behind him his millions, for I think that excessive wealth left to a child {s an injury to the child.” Mr. Carnegie might give other reasons {n defense of an inheritance tax. Many of the large fortunes have been acquired by the monopo- lizing of markets and by the bank- ruptcy of rivals. The money collect- ed has in many cases been collected by means which are immoral ff not illegal, and society could justify a claim to a part as a fine. But, afterall, there is a better remedy than the inheritance tax if the real purpose of the tax is to be levied as a punishment. Instead of allowlag the government to grant privileges, tocreate favorsand to sell immunity to great highwaymen, why not restore the government to {te legitimate functions and take away the special advantages which have been granted by law? If each individual is put upon his own .mer- ite and left to secure only so much as he can earn, the fortunes will not be so fabulous as they arenow. An STRINGENT MEASURES ARE URGED BY FOLK.

When Missouri was admitted into the Union, the powers were then re- quired to select aman, an honest man, & man ofgreat mind and learn- ing, toget upadevice and motto for the state of Missouri. Those then in power chose George Burckhart, of Howard county, todo the work. They chose him because he was hon- est, he was wise, he was learned, he being one of the best educated men of our then infant state. Mr. Burck- hart took the thing undercons{dera- tion, and, after spending a great deal of time and labor, produced the device of the crescent, the bears and the bee-hive, with the motto, “Salus Populi Suprema Lex esto.” , His em- ployers looked upon {t and said amen. George Burckhartt was 6 whig, and like the old whig party, 48 a party, was honest but the mot- to, like the state, was democratic to the core. Missouri was then in her infancy, twenty-third inrank among the other states. She has grown to be a great state, the fifth in rank, yet the people of the state say: “The voice of the people is the supreme law.” —Fulton Telegraph.
