HE FRENCH GOVERNMENT believes in arbitration in treme cases, to adjust labor strikes. ex- Under “pressure from the government” it is announced the employing interest at Marseilles has agreed to arbitration to meet the dangerous labor tronbles in that great French port. It has averted a general labor strike proposed by the trades unions. The workingmen have accepted arbitration, and it is heped the difficulties are in a fair way of settlement. HE GERMAN EMPEROR has clearly lost his balance because of the attack on him by a tramp tinker. In a characteristic gpeect his soldiers yesterday he compared conditions in the German this time with what they were in 1848, when Earope, and particularly Germany, was seething with revolution. He told’his trained bands that they must crush these apprehended home disturbances as they would a foreign foe. The German press has recently been very pointed in its criticism of the emperor, 1 to empire at HE PROSPECTS OF APPLYING the legislative gag in the United States Senate as it has been applied in the House are not en- couraging. The resolution of Senator Platt, of Connecticut, to that | effect, which is merely a copy of resolutions heretofore introduced, has | gone over to the next session. It is stated that since 1850 there have | been 97 resolutions introduced to apply clotare in some way or other to | ‘the Senate debates. Each and every one has been discussed and has ‘been rejected. From this it is evident that the Senate has made up its mind on the subject, and will remain a deliberative body. Even with | Roosevelt as presiding officer nothing can be done. | i { —————————— | i HE NEVER-ENDING and never-accomplishing-anything indus. | trial commission authorized by Congress a few years makes a | sign of life by a report on taxation of corporations, in which a diver. | sion is mildly made in favor of an income tax. It refers to the large | class of citizens in receipt of big incomes who pay little or nothing in | the way of taxation, and then proceeds: While a tax upon individual incomes is generally conceded to be | just and equitable in principle, it has been received with disfavor and | regarded as impractical in its operation. It is apparent, however, to the | careful student of Commonwealth taxation that because of its justice | and increasing efficiency of State administrative methods that are being | evolved the idea of a limited supplementary State income tax is grow. | 1g in disfavor and coming to be more generally regarded as a practi- | cal measure under State supervision. Why should an income tax be more impracticable in the United | States than in England, where it has been in existence for fifty ‘years! The coming year Great Britain will receive from income taxes at the rate of probably 30 cents on the pound sterling about $130,000,000. Sometimes the tax has not exceeded one-fifth this sam, but the Boer war called for its increase. ‘The value of this principle of tatation is that it can be readily adjusted to the wants of government. = More Coods Coming |
