Secretary Shaw is praying that the
country may be saved from its prosperity.
He doubtless has in mind the public of
ficers and their twin evil the salary
grabbers. Nobody has noticed that
prosperity is hurting the common herd.
The lower house of congress has act
ed favorably on a measure increasing the
salary of the vice president, the speaker
and cabinet officers to $12,000 per
year. Now if the V. P., Speaker and
Cabinet would only have the power to
reciprocate, what a happy family Uncle
Sam wculd have in Washington.
President Roose.elt recommends an in
come tax in his message. Remember
how the republicans had a fit fifteen
years ago when the democrats first ad'
vocal ed this measure? Things change
with time. Since Roosevelt comes out
and advocates this same measure it is
hard to find a republican who is oppos
ed to it
The real inwardness of the P. O. de
ficiency was shown last week, by Con
gressman Murdock, when he brought to
light figures to show that the postoffice
department was over paying the railroads
of the country upon even an exorbitant
rate. The government, every four years,
is supposed to weigh all the mail carried
by the railroads for three months. It
weighs for 90 days and then divides by
90, less the number of Sundays and
holidays, about 15, equaling 75 days
and calls this the daily average and then
pays by the year for 365 times this
"daily average." The postoffice pleads
guilty but says this has always been the
practice and then tries to make up the
jc r .i i . i.
oenciency on me dox renters, it is
nothing more nor less than highway
robbery taking because one has the
power. Lyons Republican.
Two years ago the Nebraska legisla
ture passed a new revenue law. For a
long time the railroads have contested a
large amount of their taxes in Nebraska.
One clause in the new law authorizes
the impounding of receipts of the rail
roads upon failure to pay this amount
On this clause action may be taken on
December 1 . It remained for a demo
cratic treasurer to enforce this law. C
E. Bowlby is county treasurer of Saline
county, Neb., and son of C. J. Bowlby,
editor of the Crete (Neb.) Democrat,
one of the best known of western news
paper men. On December 5 th Treas
urer Bowlby demanded of four Burling
ton railroad station agents the surrender
of the receipts of their offices, the same
to be applied on the railroad's taxes
These demands were refused, whereup
on Treasurer Bowlby filed charges against
the station agents. These agents were
arrested and applied for release by the
habeas corpus. District Judge Hurd
refused to order the release and the issue
will doubtless be thoroughly tested in the
courts.

Gems of wisdom still continue to drop
from the oracular lips of young Mr.
Rockefeller. In addressing his Bible class
on Sunday, he announced mat "a great
problem in life is the selection of a voca
tion. We should take God into partner
ship with us, in business.
In John D., jr., this is not to be con
stiuecl as profanation, though ordinarily
speaking, a man could scarcely refer in
such a casual tone to a commercial ar
rangement between himself and the Deity
without laying himself open to a charge
of sacrilege.
But it must be admitted that in the
case of the Rockefellers the circumstances
justify the suggestion of the young Bibli
olatrist. Indeed, the arrangement which
he counsels as being advisable seems to
actually exist in the case of his own fam
ily. God has put the oil in the bowels
of the earth, and the Rockefellers devel
op and market it.
But if you desire to form a partner
ship with the Almighty you must go into
something besides oil. The Standard
has all of that cinched. When Mr.
Rockefeller wisely selected the Creator
for a partner, he took pains to form a
close corporation. Kansas City Star.
AN INCOME TAX.
The Atlanta Constitution concludes a
review of the income tax proposition thus:
Since 1 842 the income tax has been
maintained as a feature of the British fi
nancial system. It was first introduced
in 1 799, to meet the large expenditures
during the progress of the Napoleonic
wars. It was revived fifty years later
and has been continuously in operation
since, it may be argued that the income
tax was in force in the United States be
tween 1862 and 1872 and proved a
failure. It cannot be denied, however,
that this result was largely due to the
failure to establish a systematic and corn
competent means of collecting the tax.
That defect can be easily remedied and
the income tax provisions enforced as any
other system of taxation is enforced. It
wiH be opposed in some quarters, but it
will meet the wishes and the desires of
the mass of the people of the country
and will disreiminate against the very
classes of wealth that are so difficult to
reach by other methods of taxation. The
principle is good democratic doctrine. It
is a popular measure and it is only . . a
question of time when it will be restored
to tne statute books of this country.
Walter Roscoe Stubbs is a candidate
or U. S. senator. When Walter Ros
coe was chairman of the republican state
committee he was the whole machine
and he impressed us more as a politician
than a statesman but since that time he
seems to have gained in popular favor.
Almost single handed and alone, he com
pelled a majority of the republican can
didates for state, congressional and legis
lative offices to abandon the railroad and
corporation made platform and come out
squarely for railroad regulation, 2-cent
fares, anti-pass-law, eledjon of U. S.
senators by popular vote and a primary
election law. Not a republican candi
date during the entire campaign dared to
discuss the republican platform but de
voted all the time to what were known
as the "Stubbs Qaestions." Of course,
Stubbs got his questions out of the dem
ocratic platform, but for all that he de
serves credit for forcing the republican
candidates off of their own platform and
adopting the demands of the people.
Whether they will make good remains
to be seen, but anyway Stubbs certainly
made them "eat hay" during the cam
paign. Another thing that makes us
hope that Stubbs will be elected senator,
now that it is settled that a republican
will be elected, is the fact that it is an
nounced that he is a LaFollette kind of
a republican. The country needs more
LaFollettes in congress and if Stubbs
would aid LaFollette in his magnificent
fight for the people as U. S. senator
from Kansas, the legislature would do
well by electing him.
