As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. o7In order t Editor. avoid delays, eount of al absence, letters THE ST. any With a growing deficiency staring it in the face this government, through those ‘who are legislatively responsible for its Present conduct, is searching for concidera- ble additions to its income, and after more or less of thought the majority have come to the conclusion that a tax upon incomes do much toward filling up the un- tly hole in the treasury. The proposi- is, however, extremely unpopular save two classes—those democrats who im- they see in it the only relief for an administration and the popu- a rule, have no incomes large taxable. Even among loyal ie opposition to the tex, loyal the democrat the enthusiasm on this interesting admitted by those who are that tariff duties must he low- the deficit will have to be made geé as that point is reached there instant division and divergence. It is than difficult to understand the pro- cesses by which income-tax advocates can have satisfied themselves that they alone have reached the true solution of a most “_ fgtricate problem, especially when history " makes plain the antagonism with which Americans greeted an impost similar in ican Academy, Prof. Frederic C. Howe of Johns Hopkins University says that “few taxes were more unpopular or odious to the people than the income tax. From its first imposition it was assailed as invading the sanctity of the most private affairs, es be- ing inseparable from inquisitorial scrutiny into business relations and an insufferable penecration into those affairs of the indi- vidual which were in a sense sacred, and © which in the past had been exempted from * “the visits of the excise man. It was fer- "* ther alleged, with some truth, that a tax which offered such opportunities for evasion _ Was a charge upon honesty and a premium upon false returns.” But there are other reasons why no such tax shoul be levied and among these is that which shows sectional inequality and proves that the burden is on the class that deserves exemption—the successfully in- dustrious and thrifty. Of course there is not so much “disparity between the north and the south as there was during 1867 when one collection district in New York received more than twice asi much income tax than was collected in all the states of Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, ,North Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida, but comparisons startlingly similar will surely develop if the extremely unpopular attachment to the Wilson bill becomes law. Conceding that the Wilson bill will render increased internal taxation necessary end insisting that the most undesirable im- -post is the income tax, we must turn to the only other products now regarded as fair subjects for assessment—whisky, malt li- quors and tobacco. ‘Those articles are now ® source of considerable revenue and they could produce a still greater sum without ‘causing any one much inconvenience and ‘without affecting efther the price or the quality of the articles. As The Star nas re- peatedly shown, the tax upon peer has been an insufficient one Collar per barrel for more than thirty years. Discussing the ad- Visability of increasing this tax, Prof, Howe calls attention to the fact that one dollar per barrel is equivalent to an ad valorem ‘tax of twenty per cent, or approximately one-fifth of @ cent per glass. “Inasmuch as the article,” says he, “can be produced at an average cost of from one and two- ‘thirds to one and three-quarter cents per glass, and sells at retail for five cents, this is manifestly an insufficient rate as meas- ured by what other commodities entering largely into consumption are taxed.” The conclusions reached by the professor are that the rate of distilled spirits should be increased to $1.25 per gallon, the rate upon »-™alt liquors from $1.00 to $2.00 per barrel and the rate on cigars and tobacco to twice “the present assessment. During the ycar 1808 the total receipts from the three sources named amounted to $159,000,000; with the increases suggested—and to which _ but little sound opposition is posstble—the revenues would reach $253,000,000, a total that would relieve the government of any , possibility of financial embarrassment. ———___ +e —__ The Wall Street Daily News is a pleas- antly candii publication. It announces that “brokers having special Washington corres- pondents, and private wires to that city, «seem to be unanimous in saying that all the j (daformation thus far they have received | - kegarding probable ‘congressional legislation ‘Ras been wrong, and those that operated in “the market on it, particularly in sugar, whisky and securities affected by changes sim the tariff, have been steady losers. Even those members of Congress who ‘know it all’ end traded in stocks in consequence, are now broke and disgusted.” As to the first part of the quoted statement the public will be quite unconcerned, but the direct asser- tion which involves members of Congress, is ~® matter of some consequence. To many persons—perhaps to a considerable majority of the seventy millions who live under the Stars and Stripes—the asseveration will | come with shocking force, but it causes no sensation in Washington nor in the inner political and financial circles of the larger ‘commercial cities. The right of a Congress- ‘man to earn his non-legislative living in any honorable manner is everywhere con. Seeded, and the liberal citizen has no objec- ‘Yon to make even when portions of the time gnd energy for which the public pays are devoted to private profit, but public senti- ment ‘should call @ halt when members of the national legislature gamble upon re- sults with the making of which they have much to do. > , ———~-.+__ ‘The business-like craft in the harbor at! Rio can scarcely be blamed for intimating | that if the Brazilian insurgents desire to| continue their rebellion they must be care- ful not to let it get in the way. © ——_. ‘The police investigation by New York} state senators is, under the zealous pllotage of Dr. Parkhurst, likely to discover more thaa is usual with enterprises of the kind, -— Corporative promises are not always to! be relied upon; sometimes they are made Sood, but more frequently they are entirely disregarded as soon as the privilege asked of the public has been granted. In common | with many other cities, but to a less ex- asperating extent, Washington has been de-| luded into doing things it has often wished could be undone, the greatest sinner and the most conscienceless beneficiary being the only overhead trolley company that Feaches the business center—the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Street Railroad Com- pany. This corporation—now used merely as one of the tenders of the great trolley combine—has taught a lesson that should be heeded by those who have the interests of this community at heart; a lesson that @ught to close the ears of people to whom the trolley siren sings. When Congress was asked to present New York avenue to the Eckington Company it was shown some very attractive pictures. The company's advocates in the Senate depicted in glowing | terms the improvements which were to be \ made; how the avenue surface would be Practically unbroken by the grooved-rail tracks, with concrete-filled spaces; how the obstructive poles would be highly decora- tive, and how from clusters of incandescent lights at each poletop thé avenue would be brilliantly illuminated all night and every night. How have the promises been kept? Is there a darker thorougfare in the city after sundown than New York avenue, or is there a more unsightly one in daytime? Ridges of cobblestone mark the company's right of way and jar vehicles that have to cross that infrequently used privilege, and the company now wants to replace other Wormout concrete with the cheap and rough pebbles. The District Commissioners should have no difficulty in deciding whether they should or should not refuse the permit which is demanded. The spirit of the law under which the company makes @ bluff at operating its cars is evident to any one who will study it and read the de- bate which preceded the passage of the act. If the Commissioners need other evidence of congressional sentiment—which in this matter refiecta the public view—it can be found {in the Disirict appropriation bill now befere the House; it provi That “hereafter no cobblestones shall be used in paving the space vetweem the rails and tracks of street railways upon any paved streets.” Washington is famed for its streets; they should neither be permitted to deteriorate for iack of repair nor should they be left to the tender mercies of in- corporated selfishness. ——- ee Both ends of local sporting society were gratified last night by the unhindered com- ing off of several pugilistic contests of such @ sanguinary nature as to delight even the most blase among the spectators. The bloodiest took place in the gymnasium of the Columbia Athletic Club in the presence of numerous good citizens; the outside con- test, for the benefit of the undisguisedly rough element, occurred beyond the Dis- trict line and under the open sky. Another incidental and immaterial difference was that the club's fighters were white, while the other combatants were negroes. It is not very clear why the latter should con- sider it necessary to take all the trouble of leaving the District's jurisdiction before venturing to fight. ——— > = ——___ The popular demonstration outside the Capitol was not needed to show the ap- proval which the closing of the tariff debate in the House meets with. ee Croker’s call on Chauncey Depew is the first indication in some time that the em!- nent boss was in a mood to listen to funny stories. — 0 ee The execution of the anarchist Vaillant can hardly meet with adverse criticism, ex- cepting as to the disposition to make it lingering. —___+ e+ ____ Mr. Da Gama’s remark that he yields to superior force makes him instantly the ob- ject of this country’s gravest suspicions. —___+ e+ —__ ‘The interest which has been developed in Pugilists may yet result in giving the word “gent” a certain social standing. —_—> « = ____ SHOOTING STARS.

Development of weaith and accumulation of ready capital are not identical. Some of the richest men never accumulated dol- lar of capital, and got riches by being in| debt always to those who had accumulated capital. As the country approaches nearer to @ settled condition and the eras of rapid development become rarer, the prudence of accumulating capital and keeping out of | debt becomes a more valuable habit. Method and self-control divide honors with enter- prise and activity. The west has developed wealti faster than New England, but New England has saved more available capital. The west and south would be in more com- plete command of their resources if they would berrow some of the New England thrift while they are borrowing New Eng- land nioney While a country is new Wealth often increases much faster by borrowing frum another country where interest rates are low.
