Washington. March 18.?Will it be
possible to transfer the $53,000,000
sugar tax* from the breakfast table
to the shoulders of the wealthy? Are
the people sufficiently in control to
accomplish this end?
'everywhere. The status of the situation
is this: ?
The Democratic House, In keeping
with its promise to reduce the cost of
living, will at this session pass a bill
repealing th? (53,000,000 aunual tax
on sugar reducing the price of this
commodity to the*consumer nearly 2c
a pound. Then, another bill will be
passed taxing incomes in excess of
$5,000.
The hills will go to a Republican
senate. If the progressive Republicans
vote with the Democrats, both |
bills will pass the upper body.
The fate of the two measures***!^!!
then rest with the (resident. If MrTf
Taft accepts the advice of those
about him, who wereS(Jescribed by i
the late Senator Dolliver as being i
"men who know exactly what they I
want." he will veto the bills.
are ricl^as^fh^s an^ like other^Pj
maris have no desiro to pay more |
taxes than necessary Second. Pro-j
tectionists know that if this country]
gets into the habit of raising revenue]
by taxing wealth instead -of things'
the people must have tn order to live, |
the tariff 4>e reduced on those j
commodities in which they now have
monopolies. If the'tariff trusts, such 1
as the-steel trust, the sugar trust and
the woolen trust are not allowed to|
dictate what the people must pay tor \
their products, the enormous dividends
they are now drawing down on
stock piat is watered until tt is aog-j
gy, will be interfered with- Therefore
protectionists fenn an Income tax
as they would a* plague.
Breaking Away From Tradition.
The greatest importance of .the
J Democratic program providing forthe
subtitute of a tai' on incomes
(kbove $5.Q00 for the Lav on sugar. Is
that ,11 breaks away from- the tfa-dltiou
that- the poreramenUs expenses
must be paid wholly with the
funds derived from a tax on things
the people eMi wear ornwe to be collected
through cftsfotn^hoif&qs and
internal revenue' offices.' Tbis tradition
is responsible for wealth not
bearing -its Just proportion of the
burden of" federal taxation in' th[ia
country. It <s the aame tradition
which has been responsible for so
many tariff outrage* through- ao
many year*. Regardless of whether
tho bill is vetoed by Brcsident Taft,
there is little question that the Democrats
have opened the way fqrlts inftt-tment
vhen come other man is j
President of the United States.
Here Ir Heal Humor.
Those millionaire woolen trust |
magnates a* Lawrence, Mass., nroj
nothing if not humorous.
As evidence of thefr humor, wit-1
ness an envelop? No. 1607, issued to]
a Lawrence mill worfcr. On the back I
of this envelope, solemnly put there |
by tbo Broadway Savings Bank, aj
woolen trust institution was this advice:
"Do. not spend all your Income.
Start a bank account and be independent.
A man's duty to himself
is to save some of his earnings."
Now for the woolen trust Joke!
J Oft opposite this fatherly advice
were the figures $6 05. This was the

Washington, D. C\. March 13.?
The steaming trials of the superdreadnolight
Florida are expected to ' , .^Tji
engroBe the undivided attention of.
naval men this week. The interest
in the trials is due partly to the fact
that the Florida ia to be one of the
largest and most fbrtnidable fighting *
machines afloatSUut more especially
because she is the first battleship to
be built in a government yard in
many years. A .close comparison
naturally will be made between her
performances and those of her sistership,
the Utah, which has just been,
turned out at a private yard.
. The Florida and the Utah are the
latest and mightiest fighting units In
the United States Navy and one or
the other will supersede the Connecticut
as the flagship of the North
Atlantic fleet. If she conies up to tbe
expectations of her constructors. 22
knots will be reeled off by the
Florida, propelled by the enormous
turbine engines of the Parsons type.
When she sails she will represent atv - *
expenditure of nearly $10,000,000.
As compared with the next largest
ships In the United States Navy?the
Delaware and the North - Dakota
type?the Florida and Utah are ten
feet longer. 1825 tons greater dalpltcenient,

Lawrence vs. Foreign Wages.
Here is a comparison of full time
wages paid ip England and, at Lawrence,
Mass., U. 8. A. -which falls to
crhstar.tiate tbo high protection
theory that it 4s necessary to place a
UBI> torik on woolen clothing in
order to protect American workers \
from what American trust magnates
delight to describe as "foreign pauper
labor." The figures show that
the so-called "foreign pauper labor
receives as mu'ih wages as the allbut-papuer
labor at Lawrence, while
the cost of living is much higher here
than in England.
In Eiigland. th? spinners receive
from $9.60 to $12 per week; in Lawrence
they are paid from $6.10 to
$7.70 per weok. , y
English woavora receive $2.76 a
