This Is a question that Is be ing asked seriously. The British press day by day echoes the despairing pro tests of the well to do against the rap Idly Increasing burdens of taxation, ot which no man knows the end. Tha prediction Is freely made by English men of affairs resident of this coun try that any substantial Increase In taxation will bo followed by an exodus of tha British well to do. and especially- of the British rich from the British Isles. They will seek In this country or some other a haven where the Idea of taking away the property of those who have It to give It to those who have none does not obtain.

OEOBQE JACKSON. Tha Maa Wka Flral Foaaa Oal la Rorkr Mealaa aaat Ulea Poor. To-dav Idaho Sprlugs will dedicate a monument to the man who first found gold in the Rocky mountains. George Jackson ts dead and beyond ths reach of the honor paid his mem ory. He died several years ago In an obscure corner of the State where he was making a fresh try at fortune, trying again in old age to find for himself enough gold to remove him from ths necessity to keep up the search. Independent and self-reliant to the end as he had been when nrty years ago he was living on the natur al food of the country and making his home under the stars, be who baa uolnted the way for many men to be come millionaires through mining gold. lived and died with empty pock- eta. The day George Jackson found the first gold In the land out of which a great State was to be reared because of his find, he was most Interested In the fact that he had found some dig gings where he tGeorge Jackson) was going to make a fortune If he could and that he had killed a mountain sheep which would help out his di minishing supply of ' States" grub un til be could get back to where he could get more of the same. His chief concern right then was the fact that his dogs, "Drum" and "Kit," bad been worsted In a fight with a carcajou and were too lame to travel. There wasn't much In all that to suggest thoughts of empire building or greatness. Time haa taken care ot that and brought It Into perspective. On his part It was a simple set in the day's work; In the light of fifty years we are ready to pay with our regard the debt of obligation under which he placed a State which set up business In his footsteps. Time Is jealous of Its large tasks. It picks and tests the men it permits to perform them. Most often It con sldcrs the privilege of doing them sufficient reward. Jackson wss per mitted to find the gold; others were forced to be content with merely min ing it The others grew rich; Jack son bad been marked for a blaser of trails, a searcher. So he died poor In the midst of the rich field be had sown; died as be had lived a poor prospector doing the work Time had picked him to do. He left to the fu ture only a memory, but that will live on long after those who were plivl hired only to harvest In his field will have been forgotten. It Is a way Time has of evening up the score. Denver Republican. EAST MOSEY." lb a Prlee for II Max Ba Paid la loaa d( Self-ltvetM-a-t. There Is no more pernicious sophis try than this widely prevalent theory about "easy money," for It strikes human nature at Its weakest point, says a writer on the Kansas City Journal. People who could not he tempted to commit a crime will jump at the chance to get something for nothing, and many who might not be too scrupulous but would shrink from a heinous offense are no proof against the seductlona of "easy money." The psychology of this weakness msy or may not go back to tbe garden of Eden and the primal cars of toll. Certain It Is that there Is an Inherent revolt in human nature against the drudgery of earning bread In tbe swest of one's brow. Normally con structed people combat this rebellious spirit through tha human affections which ennoble toll and consecrate the hardest tasks to the comfort of loved ocas. Bat there are few people who work very hard for tha sheer love of working hard. "Easy money" Is tha dearest and hardest la the world; It Is gained at a fearful prfca, whether U Is tha booty of tha highwayman er tha unearned aad M-fottea gains of tha dishonest maa of business. Tha hamaa law may Mt reach tha sinner, rich er poor; tba Ha pays a tax for the privilege of shooting game. He pays a tax on every servant He pays a tax when he dies or his estate does and leaves property. "Americans have little Idea of the various taxes that are Imposed In England." says a writer on the sub ject "If you are a renter and pay, say $300 a year rent, you would be obliged to pay not less than $90 addi tional, which would cover the light ing, paving and police protection. But richer people are caught In all sorts of ways. For Instance, In England I would pay $5 a year for the privilege of wearing this ring. It carries a crest and If I had a carriage with armorial bearings upon It I would be obliged to pay $10 a year for that privilege. When a man dies his estate must pay a tax of 1 per cent on every thing, if his estate Is below $2,500 In value: 2 per cent on $5,000, 3 per cent on $50,000. 4 per cent on $125.- 000, 44 per cent on $200,000, 5 per cent on $225,000, 5 i per cent on $500, 000. 6 per cent on $750,000, 7 per cent on $1,250,000, 8 per cent on $2,500,000. 9 per cent on $3,750,000, and 10 per cent on $5,000,000. HOW THE WEIGHT lJ ""i1" M 4M DlAdXAM Jrtowrjfd. ""-wi1 I.A.VJJCKXi TUX The Wright airship haa no wheels, but a set of wooden runners like a sleigh. These travel upon a rail, and the Initial Impetus is given to the machine by the release of a weight which runs over a pulley In a wooden tower. The descent of the weight makes the airship fly off In a direction away from the tower. Tbe Impetus causes It to rise a little, and afterward tbe screws and planes keep It afloat penitentiary doors msy not swing shut on either. But the price must be paid all tbe same paid In tbe coin of the soul. In peace of mind and loss of self resnect, and In a thousand ways In which our human nature, even while It yields to evil, yearns for the eternal good and stretches Its hsnds upward, no matter how low It may have fallen.

The great question that Is being con sidered In England apparently Is not what to do with the unemployed, but with the unemployable. The people who have saved money and have made the most of their opportunities appar ently will be obliged to take care of those who have not taken care of themselves and who never could take care of themselves." The amount of the graduated death d ut leu, or Inheritance taxes, collected In the United Kingdom, which has a population of 44.000,000 and upward, ranges from $90,000,000 to $95,000. 000 annually out of a total Internal revenue of $470,000,000 to $480,000. 000. It Is drawn from more than 67, 000 estates. The revenue from the death dues Is a little more than half that from excise Imposts, and con si d etably more than half the amount real ized from the Income tax. AIRSHIP IS STARTED. proaching me.

Th Bztvr cf fie realty which con. tributes to the duties Is varied, but agricultural land furnishes less of ths total than household property and business premises. For 190S the net value of household property and busi ness premises was 28.137.000, while In agricultural land It was a trlfla under 17.000.000. Leaseholds were valued at 9,100,000 and ground rents at 3.845.000. Other Items exceeding 1,000.000 were building lands; mines, minerals and quarries; cessers of an nuities, and sportlug rights. Real estate not classified was a fraction under 2.000.000. Owners of big properties alone will not suffer. The great landlords. It Is predicted, will promptly advance rents and stop all Improvements and con struction. Financial opinion Is unani mous that enormous sums will ba driven out of the country. The bank ere and big houses which float gov ernment and other foreign loans say that the new tax on such transactions covers the entire margin between profit and loss and that such deals hereafter will go to Paris. Nw York and Amsterdam. The New York stock exchange. It Is said, will profit mate rially. There haa been large specu lation In American securities In Eng land, but the bulk of that business hereafter will be transacted In New York to escape the English stamp tax. The effect of some of the other new taxes Is problematical. COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY. Karrrpta Made 'ram Trade Keaorte f Varlnaa t'aaalrlee.

The American meat trade Is largely Interested, as some of the restrictions are very stringent and the lnHiectlon fees may be put far too high.
