ALL INCOME TAXES.
'- JSow that the income-tax question is
settled it is quite probable that some
knotty propositions arising therefrom,
may spring pp to bother the supreme
court. That court decided that it is on
constitutional to tax incomes because it
is indirectly taxing property. Admit
that proposition and is there any tax
that the government can collect? . The
government's principal source of revenue
is from customs duties.
A tax is nominally .levied upon the
articles imported. For instance a duty
is said to be levied on sugar. Is it?
most assuredly not. The duty is imposed
on the article and the man. who. im
ports the sugar pays the govern
ment the tax for . the privilege of
importing it. ' The man who. uses, the
sugar pays. the tax. . Now is that not a
tax upon the income of the person who
consumes the sugar? Most assuredly.
The law simply says whoever eats im
ported sugar must pay the government
for the privilege, and the sugar is only
the article by which the amount of the
tax is fixed. As a matter of fact there is
not a tax levied in the United .States
either by the general government, state,
county, city or school districts that is
, not a tax on incomes. . The tax on real
property is an income tax, the value of
the property being taken as the basis
upon which to calculate the amount of
income that should be charged against
it, and as this basis must in the very
nature of things be an incorrect one, the
tax is unjust in that it is not equally
divided - and cannot be from the very
nature of things.
There can be no tax levied upon any
thing but incomes, for you can't collect
taxes on what a man has already ex
pended. His taxes must be paid from
the' money he receives, consequently
every tax is a tax on incomes. The in
corporeal subtleties which the judicial
snind deals in, are beyond the ken of
common every day people. '"A prim
rose on the river's brim, a yellow prim'
rose is to them ; 'tis that and nothing
more." - A tax that comes out of their
incomes - is an income tax to them, and
it is nothing more. They cannot see
those microscopical distinctions, those
niceties of longitudinal hair parting by
which the learned and be-gowned jus
tices of the supreme court distinguish
between a tax levied .upon the rents of
land, which is inquisitorial, and the tax
upon the "products of the land, which is
all right. Suppoee the manufacturer of
eigara should object "to - paying the in
ternal revenue, claiming' it was a tax on
inceuios and - therefore unconstitutional,
crold the court or would it, compel the
tax to be paid? We think it would be
cause we think that it is not unconstitu
tional for common, every day people to
pay any kind of a tax.
One would think that the Oregonian
would profit by its experience last
winter, and . hesitate before again dis
turbing a sleeping lion. At the meeting
of republican clubs the silver question
was kept out, largely thtough the con
servative action of many leading silver
men who did not believe the question
should be brought up. Instead of ap
preciating this the Oregonian today rubs
salt in their sores and uses their votes
to show that they had no standing. It
has started out to again hammer the
silver faction of the party into solidity,
and has made a wonderfully good start
in that direction. The Oregonian has
one thing in common with the dem
ocracy, and that is it invariably does the
wrong thing at the right time. N
The dispatches yesterday state ' that
Secretary Carlisle opened the discussion
of the money question at Covington,
Kentucky. The Pendleton Tribune in
its bead line to the dispatch says :
"Tremendous rush to hear Carlisle talk
sense." We should think that down in
Kentucky where Carlisle is best known
that such a proceeding on his part would
indeed cause a rush. It is probable that
had the fact been advertised properly,
the transcontinental roads would have
been running excursion trains, for there
are ' Jots ot people on this coast that
would travel a long ways to bear Carlisle
"talk sense."
Salem wants a condensed milk factory
We bad always supposed that all the
milk down that way was used otherwise
and that between state officials, the
legislature and the clerks that milk was
one ot the things heard or but never
seen. However if theygo to condensing
it, there is evidence of an over supply
Wonder if this fact bad anything to do
with the ruling of the supreme court
that can Bed it to refuse to take the teat
out ' of . the railroad commissioners

Those who liave homesteads will find
the tol lowing instructions from the in
terior department of importance:
"Timber land embraced in a homestead,
or other entry not consummated, may
"be cleared in order to cultivate the land
and improve the. premises, but for no
'other purpose. If, after clearing the
land for cultivation, there remains more
timber than is required for improvement,
there is no objection to the settler dis
posing of the same.' But the question
whether land is being cleared of its tim
ber for legitimate purposes is a question
' of fact which is liable to be raised at any
time. If the timber it cut and removed
for any other purpose it will subject the
entry to cancellation, and the person
who eut it will be liable to civil suit for
