The discussion of an income tax in- | eident to the debate on the tarift bill In the senate is taking a wide range. The stronkest point urged, so far as uitimate adoption is concerned, grows out of the doubts expressed that the afford sufficient revenue for the needs of the govern- ment. On the other hand, in addition to the opposition to the income tax on principle is the weighty objection, which questions its legality, it being well known that the last effort to levy an income tax failed by reason of an adverse decision by the United States supreme court, declaring it unconsti- tutional. Although the personnel the court has changed since that de- | cision was rendered, 1t fs still ex-| tremely doubtful whether that body as | at present made up would reverse thp former decision. If an intome tax were made a part of the present tariff and should be again nullified by court decision, the treasury, already con- fronted by a deficit, would have to face a serlous problem and this fact will deter many senators from favor- ing it at this time The proposal of Senator Brown to amend the constitution so as to re- move the legal obstacles in the way of a federal income tax can be fruit- ful, so far as immediate resuits go, of nothing but academic discussion, The course of the constitutional amend- ment is a slow one and so complicated and dificult that it is not likely to be consummated, except in response to an overwheiming and Insistent public demarid. .While we may vet have a | federal income tax through a changed interpretation of the constitution, or a change in our fundamental law, there has been no issue of an income tax before the people and it is more probable that a federal inheritance tax will come first. The attractive feature of the income tax is the prevailing notion that all| the revenues required could be raised by a tax upon incomes alone. This idea of a single tax upon income {8 no ‘more practicable than that of a single tax upon land values. The income tax would not be a substitute for existing taxes, but would have to be an addi- tional imposition designed to equalize tax burdens by reaching sources of | revenue which are now either over- looked or too lightly tapped. Our chief difficulties in taxation arise from our dual form of govern- ment and the multiplication of author- ities possessing the taxing power. In the very nature of things we must continue to support these various gov- ernments by resort to a variety of taxes, one offsetting inequalities of the other and téogether approaching a fairly equitable distribution of tax burdens. Millions in Automobiles. One of the highest authorities in the automobile trade gives it as hln; opinfon that the value of the output | for the current year will reach the stupendous figure of $125,000,000 This is the product of 153 factories, 100 of which are operated on a lnrge scale and manufacture all but a small portion of the machines. The same au- thority places the value of the plants which turn out these machines at $300,000,000. When it is considered that this business has been developed almost entirely in eleven years the fig- ures are astounding. To the student of economics and sociology the rise of the lut()llwh!le[ up a wide field for | thought. It would not be strange had such a great industry grown up in a few years in the manufacture of some newly invented article which had quickly made of itself a practical necessi The automobile, as a prac- tical factor in business, is not of gen- eral use. Almost all the vast sums involved in the current year's manu facture and sales fepresent money spent for luxury. While the automo- bile is of older use abroad than here, | statistics show that more money is in- | vested in autos in the United States than in all of the rest of the world | combined. 1In the first place, the country i8 the most resourceful and prosperous and the percentage of peo- ; ple able to indulge such a costly lux- ury much greater Over and above this is the natural trait born of the everyday life of the American people. As its business life is strenuous, so is its recreation. Accompanying the American's active pursuit of money making 1s the willingness to spend it for what appeals to him, and the year's output of automobiles will be forthcoming without a doubt. _ Fight for the Grain Trade. The fight for the export grain trade presents one of the most interesting teatures of present day economics Formerly nearly all the vast supply of graln which the United States sent abroad was shipped from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore The first great movement to divert this trafic was directed toward the ‘lnll ports of the United States. the outset the great east and west rail- roadsfought against {t, but seeing the night.

Have you entertained any town guests during the last three vears and, if so, did you not try to ex- plain away our broncho-busting city government? Would not your guests have de- parted with a better impression of Omaha it the chief officials of the city were more representative of the high average of our citizenship? It you expect to travel abroad or to entertain guests during the next three years, won't you be more likely to hold your head higher and to avoid the apologetic explanations if Omaha is relleved of its cowboy mayor? The Whole Truth. Tt Is true that the city has paid a con- siderable sum of money for the settlement of judgments in the last three years, but it is also true that of the total amount for every dollar that was paid on judgments rendered while Harry E. Burnam was city attorney seven dollars were pald for judg- ments entered before he was elected. Why does not The Bee tell the truth?—World- Herald. This is merely a confession In avoid- ance. told the truth in saying that Omaha has paid out more in judgments since it had a democratic city attorney than it ever did before in the same time. If our amiable democratic contemporary will only include the democratic city attorney who was elected six years ago, as well as the democratic city at- torney who was elected three years ago, it can accept the statement both for judgments entered and for judg- ments paid. Of the judgments from which the present democratic city at- torney would like to be exculpated, a good lot of them were entered under the democratic city attorney who pre- | ceded him. But when it comes to counting on paid, the record of the present dem- plete until we add one more item. | Just put in the item of $6,263,295.49, for which judgment w. the United States circuit court of ap- peals in.the case known as Omaha Water Company against the City of Omaha,” in which Harry E. Burnam, city attorney, is of record for the defense. Of course, we would not want to make the present democratic city at- bility because in that suit he was asso- clated with the previous democratic city attorney, as well as one distin- guished republican attorney. But plainly his part in the case did not help the suit to any visible extent. So, we repeat the moral: Get an- other attorne, If the World-Herald wants to know how high Omaha's democratic admin- istration and the democratic delega- that misrepresented Douglas in the legislature stand, we refer it to an eminent democratic spe- Edg Howard The democratic council candidates for re-election are promising all sorts of things which they have been in po- sition to dellver for three whole years and which they are in position to deliver right now.

Activities of Pennaylvani tive Occaston Charities and Commons 1t is sald that Pennsylvania has a gov error who not only evinces the ordinary in- terest that every good citizen takes in the welfare of the wards of his state, but ac- tually appreciates his duty as chief ex- ecutive to the extent of making inquiries about the insane and other defectives and paying personal visits to the hospitals. We are not surprisod when the governor of a little state like Nebraska or Indiana, or South Dakota, does this sort of thing. The simple farmers or country lawyers who are made governors In the wild and woolly west, come from the ccmmon people and feel the common burdens, But when a gov- ernor of Pennsylvania or New York does as Governors Stuart and Hughee have done [ 1n this respect, 4he newspapers praise their | actions -as wongerful.

Bryan Does Some Figuring d Dons a Smile, Chicago Inter-Ocean In the last Commoner Mr. Bryan explains what a narrow escape from defeat the republicans had in the last campaign. It almost takes one’s breath away to read There 18 nobody like Mr. ing these paradoxical political obituarics the corpse of the deadest campaign on record and find more virtues in it thaan Mark Antony found in Caesar. Leave Mr. Bryan alone with the figures and it's dollars to doughnuts that he will iIf not satisfy, all the relatives Bryan for writ In the present case he has done himself proud. Passing ltghtly over the sorrow- ful fact that Mr. Taft's majority in the electoral college was 169, he says that a ange of elghty electoral votes from the republican column to the democratic column would have changed defeat into a demo- cratic vietory. That, of course, sounds quite reasonable, but it {8 mar from resem- bling the Balm of Gilead or any other balms permlitted under the pure food and drugs But walt. There Is more. These elghty electoral votes, so Mr. Bryan continues, could have been got from the states of Ohlo, Indiana, Missourl, Kansas, West Virginia, Montana and Dela- ware if only 75,000 votes had changed from the republican to the democratic ranks and these 75,000 votes had been properly dis- tributed among the seven states In ques- tion. In other words, Mr. Taft beat Mr Bryan by only 75.000 votes and the vic- tory was almost a drawn battle. The beauty of this sort of consolation i that it s not confinable to any mourners want the solace they can get it from almost any presiden- tfal contest In history. Take the Roosevelt-Parken election for Instance. The average man would =ay that Judge Parker was as far from victory as a presidéntial candidate of a great party is ever likely to be. But a little wrestling with the figures, Commoner style, will show that Judge Parker, in spite of the 2,640,468 popular majority and the 1% elec- toral majority against him, came so near defeating Mr. Roosevelt that it Is hard to imagine how the latter ever managed to one our Judge Parker needed to take only ninety- nine of the electoral votés that fell'to Mr. Roosevelt to give him his majority in the electoral college and the presidenc New York, Missourl.

There he met the sultan, who was so impressed with Buckman's ability that he was made vice admiral of the Turk- ish navy at a princely salary, occasionally paid. Hamid and Buckman became aquite chummy, a fact giving rise to the belief that the navy would support the sultan In his recent stand against the soldiers of the constitution. But the admiral did not figure In the reports of the contest around the Yildiz Kiosk. Doubtless he was con venlently distant from the fray, beyond reach of Hamid's woful “C. Q. D." « Despite the honors that have been heaped upon him, Buckman Pasha remains at heart an American. He laughs at the thought of danger to himself. His cool- ness under danger was displayed four years ago, when an attempt was made to kill the sultan with a bomb as he was ahout to leave the Hamldich mosque, 1,00 yards from the palace. The bomb exploded pre- maturely and killed elghty mounted men and their horses and wounded many more Buckman Pasha was uninjured and he walked beside the sultan's carrlage with drawn sword as it threaded its way among the dead, back to the palace, threatening In a loud voice to decapitate any unau- thorlzed person who approached Upon the breast of his gold-embroldered uniform gleams the star of the order of Osmanieh, conferred upon him by the sul- tan.

The in- vestiture of the padishah with this time- honored weapon, the symbol of military, civil and religious supremacy in Turkey, takes the place of the coronation of kings and emperors in Christian countries. It is performed, not by the sheikh ul Islam, but by an old meviedi dervish, who bears the title of shereef of Konieh, and who comes for the purpose from that city in Asla Minor. mevledl dervishes of the sword of Osman on the new sultan, dates back to the days when the capital of the empire was at Konfeh, that is to say, prior even to its transfer to Broussa. The shereefs of Konieh have a sort of shadowy claim themselves to the dignity of padishah, but on the accession to the throne of the new sultan the shereef solemnly renounces all rights that he may possess in favor of the monarch.

The incident occurred at the General Lew Wallace was American minister to Turkey. Great Britain had taken control of Egypt. This act greatly vexed the sultan. General Wallace was a personal favorite of the sultan and was summoned to the palace for a private con ference. The sultan desired his advice ypt. The general ened with triendly sympathy and the sultan, being relieved in thus talking in confidence to a man whom he knew to be sincere and altogether free fre Ifish Interests, asked the minister what he could do under the circumstances, Genersl Wallace said that he appreciated the trust and confidence of the sultan, but that being the representa tive officlally of the United States of Am ica he could not advise the ruler of other country as to what steps that should take agalnst a third clally when this third triendly terms with his The sultan acknowledged of this position pught the general o make an exception, saying that there was no other man in the empire to whom he could go for one single word of honest, disinterested advice. But the general peated that he couid not be false to duty as a minlster and envoy from government Then said sui private individual, tell m This appeal touched deeply, and he said: “As a friend. then. ruler nower, espe- power was awn country the correctness but be; re his his the tan: “Tell me . as a friend.” neral Wallace stitutional .the Alabama law annuling the license of corporations which appeal to the federal courts inst state laws, deals with a subject that has been before the | and has been dwcided both ways. The last case produced a decision opposite ‘to that which Judge Jones has given. On the face of the matter it would seem to most judicigus minds that a state law cutting off litigants from their right of appeal to federal courts on rights under | the natlonal constitution would be against | public policy, as leading to deprive them of those rights. But on the reasoning of the United States supreme court decision | in the Kentucky Insurance case a year or two ago this view does not apply to a corporation doing business in the state.
