A fire that does not burn 500 houses is not worth mentioning in China and Japan, Coxey men must be on their good behavior during their sojourn In the neighborhood of the national cai‘tal, and their conduct will be gauged according to rules and ordin- ances that are seldom applied to any other bodies of men. If there is any law on the statute books restricting their freedom of action 1t s sure to be unearthed and applied it an opportunity presents. German newspapers profess to be aston- ished that there is no conceried action among the state governments in this coun- try to repress the Industrial armles at one feoll swoop. They seem to forget that the United States s not Germany. There must be actual imminence of lawless acts before the military authorities in this coun- try can interfere with the freedom of law ablding people. nforcing the law requiring deductions to be made from the pay of congressmen for every day that they fail to attend the ses- sions of the house opens up a way for patriotic democrats to supply the deficit in the revenues of the treasury. If they will only stay away from the capitol and for- feit thelr salaries the treasury will be so much the gainer. It rests with each gressman to make his own contribution, It is to be hoped that there will be no un- necessary rivalry for the privilege of help- ing the government out by this method. con- “I told you reference to says Mr., upheaval of armies and thelr convergence upon Washing- Kem, with industrial 80, the ton. If the people had only voted to fill congress with populists of the Kem stamp there would have been no finaneial cepression and no industrial disturbances. The people of Kem's district were wiser than their fel- low citizens, and, as the result of Kem's efforts in their behalf, they have escaped every vestige of the influence of hard times. The only way for them to maintain them- selves In their present condition of flourish- ing prosperity will be to keep Kem in con- Bross, The Lincoln Labor club, at an enthuslastie and crowded meeting, has passed resolu- tions of thanks for the fair treatment which labor organizations and the Industrials haye had in the columns of The Bee. In view of the manifestly unfair treatment accorded them In other newspapers, the compliment 1s certalnly ona to bo appreciated. The Bee, however, professes to glve fair treat- ment to all classes in the community with- out discrimination. It is its duty to do so and thanks are not necessary for one who merely performs his duty, The Bee will continue to accord falr treatment to the Industrials, to labor organizations and to employers of labor—all altke, a We have it upon the best authority that the residents of Council Blufts decline to endorse the resolutions of the rebate ship- pers of that clty respecting the action of Omaha in dealing with Kelly's army. The masses there as well as in Omaha warmly sympathized with the transients and hold the Iowa railorads responsible for the dis- turbance and general cessation of train sery- fce In and out of Council Bluffs. The so- called mobs that left Omaha for the Blufts had only one object fn view and that was to Induce the rallroads to transport the army. Had they been successful the pegple of Council Bluffs would have been bene- fited. The lowa rallroad managers cannot evado the responsibility, nor can they shift * woon Omaha.

THE TIME TO BUILD. Now that the building season has fairly sot in, every effort should be made by our city and county authoritics to push such pub- lic works as they are able to undortake with the means in hand: Whatever money’ has been raised by taxation or by the vote of bonds for spectfic improvements should be taken out of the banks where it is lying dead and put into cireulation among workingmen and dealers in building materials. Every dollar expended for wages or material is equal to ten dollars of caleulation before it gets back Into the original depository. There never has been a time In the history of Omaha when building could be done so cheaply as it can be this season. There never has been a time when building ma- terials were as low in the Omaha market as they are today, and labor as cheap. Those who have the means and the ground to bulld on, and especially capitalists who contemplate building elegant homes, can do so this season with great ad- vantage to themselves, while at the same time they will ald in promoting Omaha's business prosperity. The right time to ven- ture upon bullding enterprises Is when real estate, labor and material have reached bot- tom. ‘We belleve that bottom has been reached in Omaha now, and those who wish to take advantage of the rising tide will make no mistake in doing so this season. Incidentaily, let us again admonish upon all who propose to erect buildings this year to bulld of brick and stone. Brick and stone are within the reach of all who want to build, and in this climate brick and stone are the only material to use where perma- nent and substantial structures are desired. The block house is all right for ploneers in the wilderness; the frame house for the second generation of settlers, but wooden bulldings are out of place anywhere except In earthquake countries and in the tropics. The substantial modern city is built of brick and stone and iron, and the city of the future will be constructed entirely of fire proof materials, INCOME TAX COLLECTION. In an exhaustive and learned monograph upon progressive taxation In theory and practice, just published by the American Economle assoclation, the author, Prof. Ed- win R. A. Seligman of Columbla college, makes some very pertinent observations with respect to the practicability of applying the theory of progressive taxation to the pro- posed federal income tax—observations that show the weak point in the income tax schedule now pending in the semate. With- out golng Into the details of income taxation, he explains that there are two chief methods of arranging an fin- come tax. The one method, as exemplified in the most successful of all Income taxes, that of England, is to split the income into schedules, according to the source from which it Is derived, each schedule or set of schedules belng assessed scparately by aif- forent officlals. This he calls the scheduled The other mothod, as In the Prussian tax and the American taxes during the civil war, is to assess the Income as a whole in a lump sum and to levy the tax directly upon the reclpi- ent of the Income instead of upon the incomo payer. This he terms the lump-sum income tax. Prof. Sellgman adds that experience has proven the collection of the tax on the schedule plan to be far preferable to its col- lection of the Individual in a lump sum. Instead of adhering consistently to either one of theso plans that have been adoptod by foreign goveraments, the income tax bill now before the senate attempts to combine there has been some imported since, it is said, and there is reason to believe that the law Is not now being so thoroughly enforced as it ought to be. Yet there has never been a time when it was more desirable or necessary than now to exclude this labor, and in crder that this may be more effectu- ally done it is probable that additional legis- lation will be required. Therc is on the calendar of the house of representatives a bill intended to befter accomplish this ex- clusion. It provides that no alien immigrant “shall be admitted within the United States unless hie can produce a certificate from a consul or other authorized representative of the United States setting forth that he does not belong to the class or classes of alien immigrants excluded from admission to tho United States by the acts relative to the importation of aliens under control or agree- ment to perform labor. The bill makes it the duty of consuls and representatives of the United States in other countries to in- vestigate and grant or withold certificates. This s a very simple measure, easily un- derstood, and proposes nothing that would operate as a hardship to the immigrant. The latter would simply have to show, by ev dence satisfactory to the consul, that he was not under contract to labor on his arrival in this country, and this need not cost a great deal of trouple to either the official or the intending immigrant. Indeed, it is highly probable that If we had such a law its eftzct would be to put an end to all at- tempts to make labor contracts with aliens, because the business could succeed only by a general corruption of consuls, which would be hazardous and expensive, even if it were practicable. At any rate this bill certainly provides more efficient means for the enforce- ment of existing law, and everybody who be- licves that it is necessary to exclude alien contract labor of the class now designated by law will approve it. STATE BANKS ON A SOUND BASIS. Eastern bankers are beginning to mani- fest a strong interest in the question of amending the exlsting state of the law relating to bank note issues. A representa- tive fnancial journal says that bankers whose outlook reaches beyond the horizon of the immediate future very gencrously concede that the time has arrived when well considered steps should be taken for constituting the bank note the chief in- strument of the retail circulation. Doubt- less the subject Is also receiving the con- sideration of bankers in other portions of the country, for it possesses an importance that glves it o claim upon the attention of all who are Interested In financial affairs. The time is not remote when legislation on this subject will become imperative, and in the meantime it should have the careful consideration of those 'est qualified by thelr practical experience and judgment to advise congress, Among the numerous banking bills that have been introduced in congress that known as the Warmer bill, “to provide for a safe and elastic bank mote currenc appears to be regarded with the most favor by the eastern bankers. It provides for the issue of notes by state banks and national banking associations under conditions which its supporters belleve would secure at once an entirely safe and elastic currency. It contemplates the establishment of state banks, under national supervision, which shall not be confined to United States bonds as a basis of circulation, but the notes ot which are to be of equal security with the present currency. State banks issuing notes in compllance with the provisions of this measure would be relleved of the 10 per cent tax, but they would be subject to the same requirements as to report and in- spection now provided in the laws regulat- ing national banking. Notes shall not be turnished to a state bank until the laws of the state In which the bank may be located shall have glven holders of its circulating to their disadvantage. Self-preservation Is the first function of government. The seiz- ure of property or its' willful destruction is a subversion of government, which, if not resisted, would end in anarchy. Such a con- dition would be alike disastrous to all who desire to perpetuate a government by the people and for the people. Punishing Leglslative Tardiness. Philadelphfa Ledger. Tt Is Interesting to recall in connectlion with the proposition to fine absent members of congress that in the early history of the country leglslative tardiness w by a small fine. In colonial d pendence bell summoned members of the >ennsylvania assembly, to duty. The rule governing the members was to fine “those members who do not appear within half an hour after the ringing of the bell and the speaker assuming the chair.”” Another rule was: “Those members who do not appear within an hour after the assembly bell ceases to ring shall pay 1 shilling." o Ay Enough to Appall. Washington Post. 1t Is all very well for the champlons and apologists of the Income tax proposition to sneer at the criticism of honest men, but the truth s that not a single argument which they have advanced will bear the slightest scrutiny. The proposition is re- pulsive from every concelvable point of view. Bven If it were not vicious in it- self ‘as a cowardly surrender to class prejudice and inherently disgraceful as a vulgar demagogue appeal to the populace ous because of its it would still be mischie attendant evils of inquisition and official tyranny. Leaving all other considerations aside, the mere thought of the swarm of spies, informers and tale bearers that would be created by the operation of such a law is enough to appall and disgust the decent cltizen. ——— HOT LINERS Dallas New Tven a dead man has a ghost of a chance.

He has not only proven him- self to be a demogogue of the worst type, but has most outrageously degraded the posi- tion he holds. Judge Scott is a public offi- clal holdinga public position and ther:fore fs subject to public criticism. If the judicial gag is to be applied to the press, then may God have mercy upon our people, Nebraska City Press: Judge Scott's friends will have a great deal of trouble in explaining the sanity of his action in send- ing Bdward Rosewater to jail. He seems to have disregarded all the safeguards to personal liberty, and indeed it is doubtful if almost any person might not be sent to jail at the caprice of a judge if such a precedent s to be followed.” The judge has had the satisfaction of emabrrassing a per- sonal enemy, but to accomplish this he has had to get down into the mire of petty per- sonal spite and drag with him the honor and dignity of his court. David City Banner: Judge Scott of Omaha has tried and convicted Edward Rosewater for contempt of court. His sentence was a fine of §500 and thirty days in jail. The charge against Rosewater was claimed to be occasioned by a criticism one of the re- porters for The Bee had made upon the Jjudge, but was in fact based upon a political grudgo he wanted to settle. The decision was an infult to impartial judiciary work and a forcible sample of judicial usurpation, Judge Post of the supreme court, however, °d stay in state against Rosewater and s released under bond of $1,000. Weeping Water Republican: Judge Scott yesterday sentenced I. Rosewater to pay a fine of $500 and spend thirty days in the county jail for contempt of court. The judge might do worse things than put Rosey in Juil, but he has in this case proven to our mind that he (Scott) has wheels in his head. A reporter on The Bee wrote the article re flecting on a decision rendered by Judge Scott and the reporter was the man tried but the judge had a grudge against The Beo proprictor and he sentenced him. Rosewater was released by Judge Post after having been locked up for four or five hours. O'Neill Sun: Judge Scott of Omaha should be impeached for sentencing Editor Rose- water of The Bee to thirty days in jail and to pay a fine of $500. Scott is a disgrace to the bench and bar of Omaha. Mr. Rose- water would not willingly and Intentionally impugn the acts of a court, He knows better than to do so. Judge Scott is in the wrong, else he would not have vented his spleen in such a vindictive and retributive manner. Mr. Rosewater was afterward released on bail on a telegraph order from Judge Post of the supreme court to the clerk of the district court, Judge Scott refusing to recog- nize an order by telephone. Impeach Scott, Grand Island Times: If there Is a com- mission de lunatico in Douglas county, the Times wouwd commend Judge Scott to it as a shining mark. A district judge who deliber- ately organizes himself into an entire court judge, jury and witness—and convicts a citizen without cvidence, even denying him the rights which are legally his due, is much of a curlosity, but more of a disgrace to the judiciary of our state.

In pursuing the course he did, Judge sslon t Scott disgraced himself and the profe he represents, and the bar of his distr: should make one more effort to have him de Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U, S.

Wisdom is not al- ways found in newspaper offices, but liberty to criticize the action of public officrrs, if done in a proper spirit, is a constitutional right, and the public as well as the news- paper men interested in any attempt to abridge or to deny it. Minneapolis Journal: The Omaha Bee' stenographic report of the trial of the Ros water contempt case before Judge Scott of Omaba presents an interesting study of judi- cial assumpt'on and insolence, Throughout the taking of testimony Judge Scott bristled with malicious interpolations and a remarkable feature was the fact that he had previously prepared an order of com- mitment and could hardly wait for the con- clusion of the testimony, which was favor- able to Bditor Ros:water, before he blurted out a tirade of abuse of that gentleman, and, rithout psking the prisoner if he had any- thing to say, as Is customary, hastened to the defendant’s im- prisonment for thirty days for criticising in his paper the action of the judge in a case which had been adjudicated. It was proven, however, that Rosewater did not write the article or order it to be written, Such ostentatious malevolence by a judge and such pene- trability to criticism rather seems to con- firm the justness of the Rosewater charge that Scott had shown unlawful partiality in the disposition of certain The idea = .
