SO IT S NONE OF YOURS
Vow Ton Enow the Kind of Informa
tion tie City Attorney Fuse
Out.
When a reporter for The Capital
Journal tailed upon City Attorney
Page today for a statement in regard
to the assertion that he had advised
embers of the eity council that pav
ing contractors could not be required to
'give a bond for the maintenance of
streets for a period of five years after
paving, the city attorney said:
"It's none of your business."
Page had evaded a reply on this mat
ter sinee last Friday. Inasmuch as
certain aldermen state positively that
Page advised them that they could not
legally require a bond from paving
contractors that they repair the pav
ing for a period of years after the
completion of the contract, it is not
lard, in view of the attitude taken by
the attorney, to believe that he did so.
Those who have urged that a bond
be required have claimed that it would
insure better work on the part of con
tractors, who would know that failure
to do it properly would mean that they
would have to make up for it later, in
the way of expensive repairs.
The recent contracts for the Marion
nd Union street paving contain no
provisions for a bond for repairs.
The Capital Journal sent a represen
tative to Page to get his side of it in a
cpirit of fairness, and with a view of
getting the facts for the people, who
are deeply interested in the movement
for better improvements.

GRANDMOTHER USED SAGE TEA TO
DARKEN HER FADED OR GRAY HAIR
Mixed With Sulphur It Hakes Hair
Soft, Beautiful; Curat Dandruff.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-,
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She kept her hair beautifully darkeped,
glossy and abundant with a brew of
Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her
hair fell out or took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful effect.
But the brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays skilled
chemists do this better than ourselves.
By atkisg at any mug store for the
ready-to-use product called r' Wyeth 's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy " you
will get a large bottle for about 50
cer.ts. Some druggists make their own
which is usually too sticky, so insist
upon getting Wyeth 's, which tan be de
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair and is splendid
for dandruff dry, feverish, itchy scalp
and falling hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says his customers insist on Wyeth 'i
Sage and Sulphur, because they say, it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to nse. too. Tou simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. Do this at night and
by morning the gray hair disappears;
after another application or two, it is
restored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft anl abundant. J. C. Perry.

(New York Times April 8.)
The proposed rates of the Democratic
tariff bill will transfer from the con
sumers of the country, that is from all
the people of the country, taxes contrib
uting $80,000,000 annually to the cost
of the government, and will lay new
taxes upon the comparatively small
number of the persons in receipt of in
eomes exceeding $4,000 a year. This is
taxing the few for the benefit of the
many j the protective duties of the pres
ent tarifi tax the many for the benefit
of the few. The Mclanley tariff, the
Dingley tariff, and tiie Payne-Aldrich
tariff tended to the redistribution of
wealth, but in the wrong direction. It
is proposed in the Underwood tariff to
make tho redistribution work the other
way.
There can be not the slightest doubt
about the intention of the framers of
the bill they avow it. Chairman Un
derwood frankly says that in imposing
the tax on incomes "the attempt has
been made to provide not only a source
of revenue, but alto a means of redress'
ing in some measure the unequal tax
burdens which result from the practice
of basing the federal income entirely
upon customs and .internal revenue du
ties. This is a system of taxation which
inevitably throws the burden of sup
porting the government upon the shoul
ders of the consumers." Where the
burden of supporting the government
should be placed, or where on earth it
can be placed, except upon the shoul
ders of the consumers is a question we
should like to see answered. Mr. I'n
derwood and his associates have doubt
lees persuaded themselves that they are
ences much more than by tariff duties.
The plea has been made in behalf of
the sheep raisers of the mountain states
and of Texas that they are entitled to
the benefit of President Wilson's an
nouncement that revision is to be ef
fected in a way to do least harm, but
the committee doubtless felt that this
consideration as outweighed by the
promised benefit of free wool to manu
facturers and consumers alike.
The cut in the duties .on blankets,
flannels, dress goods, clothing, and car
pets is substantial, almost radical, rang
ing from 50 to 70 per cent of the pres
ent duties. The cotton goods schedule,
which was reckoned the most sinful
next to schedule K, has been dealt with
in a wav to give real relief to consum-
but also real pain to Sen. Lippitt
of Rhode Island. The china and crock
ery schedule has been more leniently
dealt with. The committee has acted
wisely in not removing the entire duty
on sugar. The reduction proposed am'
ounts to about 25 per cent of the pres
ent duty, thus saving to the govern
ment a very large revenue, but by the
terms of the bill sugar will be put upon
the free list after three yeaVs? It
highly questionable whether the con
sumer would reap much benefit of the
removal of the duty, and the retention
of three-fourth of the present impost
will make easier the passage of the bill
in the senate.
from the stock of corporations paying
the corporation tax are not included,
nor is interest from state, city, au3 gov
ernment bonds.
As we have said, the Democrats have
kept their pledge in respect to the
downward revision of the tariff. Our
manufacturers will not be slow to see
that their profits re no longer guaran
teed by the govrnment. With fore
thought and intent the Democrats will
open our markets to foreign competi
tion, with only such advantage as is
afforded by ocean-carrying charge,
and to some extent by allowance for
difference in production cost. For the
first time in more than half a century
American manufacturers are made self
dependent, and they are plainly told
that if they find the foreign competi
tor getting tho better of them they
must seek in shop efficiency and lower
costs the relief they require the gov
ernment will not tax the people to in
sure their profits.
It may prove that the lower duties
will in many cases yield higher reve
nues. We have not the least idea that the
Democrats have had in mind at all
their platform declaration embodying a
principle formulated by Mr. Tilden.
that tariff taxes "shall be limited to
the necessities of government honestly
and economically admiuistcrel. " Ha J

moie, without imposing the income tax.
But in that case the "pork barrel"
where any duty is retained will pay a
lower rate, and in this class of commod
ities very large additions have been
made to the free list, including meats,
flour, bread and potatoes. Wood pulp

likely than any other to be shifted. In
most cases the transfer is impossible,
but Mr. t'nderwood deludes himself
when he advances the theory that men
of larger income consume in proportion
to their income a far smaller aggregate
of tariff-taxed necessaries of life than
tho small income earners. As our tar
iffs have been drawn that is measurably
true of some articles, it is true of multi-millionaires,
as a general statement
it is highly disputable. But the Demo
crats have gone about their task, not
merely with the purpose 6f raising rev
enue for the support of the government,
but with the additional purpose of pro
moting social welfare. That, it will be
remembered, was a theory of its duty
held by tho interstate commerce com
mission in the matter of fixing railroad
rates.
Unmistakably, it is a downward re
vision bill. In that respect the Demo
crats have kept faith with the people.
The reductions are substantial, and
there has evidently been a diligent ef
fort to apply them to the articles of
common consumption, thus affording
the largest measure of relief. The new
wool schedule will bear slight resem
blance to the indefensible schedulo K
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Raw wool
is made free of duty. This is in accord
with Mr. Cleveland's principle of free
raw materials. It has generally been
held that to meddle with the wool duty
invites political disaster, but we can
hardly expect that Texas will go Repub
lican because of free wool. Demonstra
bly, the business of wool growing in
this country is affected by other Infill
ing the duty from trust-made products
is kept in the case of agricultural im
plements, steel rails, fence wire, cotton
ties, nails, hoop and band iron, and
many other articles. A demonstration
wiH now be had of the truth or error
of the statements so often made by men
of largo experience in the iron and steel
business that the prosperity of that in
dustry no longer depends upon protec
tive duties. ( Boots and shoes are free.
A guiding principle of the makers of
the bill has been to reduce largely r
remove altogether the duties upon ar
ticles of common nse for wear or food,
while the duties upon articles' of lux
ury either remain unchanged or in some
few cases have been raised.
The income tax is laid at the rate of
t per cent upon incomes in excess of
$4,000, with a progressive increase of
the rate as the incomes rise, so that
tne levy would ne at the rate or a per
cent on incomes-in excess of (20,000, 3
per cent in excess of $50,000, and 4 per
cent on incomes in excess of $100,000.
In the analysis of the bill the working
of this provision is explained to show
that an income of $20,000 would pay
the government 1 per ceut on $16,000,
$4000 being exempt, making the tax
U10; in the same way an income of
$30,000 would be taxed 1 per ceut ou
$1(1,000 and 2 per cent on tho nox$10,
000, making tho. total tax $300. Reck
oned in this way, an income of $100,000
would pay the government a tax of (2,
200. A comprehensive list of the sourc
es of income it given, but deductions

would have remained unfilled, the first
regular session of the sixty-third con
gress next winter could not with so
light a heart throw away $45,000,000
upon public buildings, $45,000,000 more
upon rivers and harbors, and $23,000,-
1 000 in new' pensions. Congressmen
would have been hard beset for means
to get money out of the national treas
ury for use in that form of bribery of
the voters which consists in securing
larger appropriations to be spent in
their home districts. The income tax is
an unnecessary impost, the power to
lay it should be held always as an emer
gency power, and to put on the tax as
it is to be imposed is a direct encour
agement to every vicious form of con
gressional extravagance.
It's up to every married woman to
believe that her husband is the only
man who has tense enough to under
stand her.
