OUR MODERN INSTITUTIONS When the Cleveland adminis tration' first attempted to impose an income tax on the American people the supreme court, on ac count cf its Inquisitorial nature, declared It unconstitutional. Be fore it was finally adopted under the presidency of William How ard Taft a constitutional amend ment was necessary to overcome this' qblectlon.' s i ... Of course, a constitutional amendment could not nullify this disagreeable feature. The Income tax j Is " inherently inquisitorial and: only its exceptional value as THE SHORT STORY, JR. r : - THE SEARCH OF TOMASO He was a bright-eyed Italian boy with a quick smile at the corners of his lips. He stood in the! street belOw playing a vio lin, while an older man. with an evil face and a cogged slouch, sang, after which Tomaso played a couple of selections himself and then passed . around his ragged cap.'-' - , I had but to listen to him once to know that he was no ordinary street player, but a trained stu dent of the violin, with a, really wonderful , power for one so young,' scarcely more than 13. He was playing in one of the poor est districts of the city, through which I happened to be pissing at the time. I was Interested at once, and stepped up to talk to the boy. I explained to him flat I liked his playing and ! had a friend who was a great violinist and I was sure he would like to hear him play. It he showed any real talent I would bo gtad to Li-.'p him. f You. wouM. hav thought any toy would have been vir Joyed it, the cliac.-. I.V .coked up at me and shook his head ' lowly. "No," he answered, in , perfect English. "I thank you, but I can net do it. It is better for me to , play in the street, 1 must stay." He had looked like a clev er boy, and I was disgusted with such laziness, so- I turned away and forgot all about him for a while- f i , ;." f f4 . The next 1 time I heard of Tomaso it was from . my ' friend, the violinist. . He, too, had heard the boy playing and, told me how he turned down, an offer ot help. The violinist was very much in terested in tbe boy and had tried t? find but something about him, but the lad had shut up like a olam. ' ) h ;. - Then One day my friend came to see 'me, very much excited. TI have found out about Tomaso. he - exclaimed. " You : remember himt The .little boy we were so interested in, a year ago? He was giving a recital, and he's a wonder:- It's not surprising, consid ering hts. father was one ot the .fineTiollnlsU ;in;.thecity;iai . a revenue collector rendered it acceptable to the nation. Under there circumstances the proper aim of congress should be to minimize, as far aa possible, ihis unpleasant prying into peo ple's private affairs that must be part of every Income tax -collection scheme. No one, except for the sake of stirring up trouble, would attempt to add to the pop ular irritation 1 by emphasizing the inquisitorial nature of . the tax. Yet, posing as friends of the people. La Follette and the radi cal senators who follow his lead would amend the present Income tax law by an order publishing the names and amounts paid' of all liable to this tax. The intention Is obvious to tear away the privacy of Ameri can individual life and insinuate the principle of official 'espionage and national state socialism,.' For this is all that such, publi city would accomplish. To publish the incomes of all taxpayers would no doubt1 gratify the curi osity of gorIps, especially where big names :were concerned or the affairs of prominent families in volved. 'Among the neighborhood tlttletattlers the opportunity to find out Just how much the fam ily next door "had to live on would popularize La Follette & Co. Beyond conferring these , two dubious advantages' on a small section of the public the effect of this inquisitorial measure would simply be to exasperate the already harassed income taxpay ers and render more difficult and unpleasant the work of the reve nue collectors.! Nor, has It any value at all as a check on the hon esty of t the taxpayer. Los An geles Times, j. Ij x'j '. The fact is, the federal Income tax law as it now stands -is in many respects" unequal and un just And it lays many burdens upon the enterprise of the country that are grievous and ought to be lifted. There are numerous particu lars In which the law should be amended; but the! proposition of Senator La Follette is not one of them. It is not constructive. It is a destructive proposal.

Hlllar "ButI don't understand," I answered, bewildered. "Tomaso's father had' taught the boy to play and they were very happy together. Then his father's mind j began to 'wander. Two or three times he went away from his home; and would come to himself down in the' slums of the city, where he had lived as a boy. One day he disappeared and did cot come back; Detectives search ed, but they did notT find him. Then Tomaso 1 had the idea of joining a singer and going around that quarter Of the. city. He al- ways played two pieces which his father had composed and had taught him. "He kept steadily at it. One day his father, who was sick in a tenement room, heard the mus ic, which sounded strangely fam iliar, and came to the window. Now the boy Is happy again." i PICTURE PUZZLE ) The letter !n the name of a Gaoochoo fVoviocexbave beer)' numbered from left 3.7,5. 2.1.6.4- - 3 JWbet Province Vr it,? r sr. illl inu, Brett.

There are numerous proposals that may be made and some that should be adopted for additional indirect taxes In Oregon. Con structive statesmanship can fiQl them. They exist in other states, like New York and Pennsylvania. But Oregon needs new people; more capital, more men with Ini tiatrve and enterprise; and this 1? no time to look for ways to drive them away. Instead of inviting them to come and help in the de velopment of the vast resources of our state And that is the way to' cut the state taxes in two by doubling the taxable property of the state; and to do even better, by giving more efficient service at lower costs. LIFE'S LITTLE IRONIES Should a man on a salary of S215 a month be able to save $50 of it to pay alimony to his ex wife? On the question of saving and rpendlng money, where could one look for two more competent authorities than John D. Rocke feller and Henry Ford And the payment of alimony is on prima facie evidence a matter of saving and spending. John D., than whom no one knows better the value of money, says that every man, no matter how much or little he earns, can always save a dime a day. He did It himself while he was still a struggling worker in the ranks. On this principle he built up his present fabulous fortune. Now turn to. Henry Ford. He, too, Is one of the financial wiz ards of the centuries. And he exclaim" that no one should save a penny, that he should keep on spending and - keep on earning, that spending is an incentive to further earning effort, and that acting on this theory be himself has become such a marvelous business success. Here we have two of the avowed financial geniuses of the ages both expressing views that bear directly on the burning ques tion of how much alimony a man ought to be able to In a re cent case tried In court the judge was evidently a Rockefeller man,' for he decided that the defendant ought to be able to save $50 out of $215 for the benefit of the pe titioner. ' But, if the judge had been a Henry Ford man, would he not have held that no man could ex pect to keep on spending and earning, the only royal road to competence, while saving that fifty-a-month for nonproductive purposes? And being hampered in his program of spending more and earning more, would not that ex-husband be unfairly handicap- cad In any hope he might enter tain of duplicating the success of Henry Ford? And, after all, the Henry Ford ambition is no less worthy than the John D. Rockefeller ambition. Our judges have a hard time of It, even when their decisions rest chiefly on points of law. In cases where the human element 13 up permost and where the authori ties are more general than legal, as in this alimony case, we can only repeat the old riddle, "Who shall decide when doctors dis agree?" Life's little ironies, like hum orous flashes to relieve tragedy, crop out In almost every human transaction. Nowhere are they more expressive of the eerlo-com-edy of everyday existence than in the courts where domestic diffi culties are aired and Ironed out. In cases involving alimony we may safely predict that husbands lean to the Henry Ford and wives have more faith in the Rockefel ler theory ILL' IN A LIFETIME t One of the Burlington engi neers who went out in the big strike of 188S and never went 456 Court St. ' Phones 256 257 BEST SERVICE back Is still drawing strike bene fits. He is now 87 years ot age and has been receiving the strike allowance of his union for thirty five years. In that time it has amounted to many thousands of dollars. He is the champion striker of the country from an en durance standpoint. Yet the other day this same Burlington road pensioned off three or four con ductors who had been in continu ous service for more than fifty years.. Whether a man quits his job for thirty-five years or sticks to it for half a century. It's all in a lifetime. . THOSE VANDAL TOURISTS Indignation has been ' aroused In certain circles in Swltxerland, reports the Geneva correspondent of the Daily News, by the. van dalism of tourists 1 In destroying the flora of the 'Alps. Some of the flowers are becoming more and more rare, and lovers of the mountains have been pained to find on their -excursions whole roots dragged from the soli and lying dead. " 1 :s is especially the case wita the edelweiss, and the mouutai neir writes from Gryon to tha Tribune de Geneve pointing out that on the Arete d'Argentine, one ot the rare spots in that neighborhood where T the plsnt still blooms, many roots were found pulled up The; edelweiss is somewhat difficult to pluck, and those who gather it should cut the stem of the flower with a knif so that the root may be let to flower again next year for the pleasure of other tourists.
