ten points to their credit to every
single point niHde by their oppon

year, but If such was the case, fail
ed to exhibit that said strength. Al
though a one-sided game, It was in
teresting and exciting from start to

substituted, scored Crawford's only
basket in this half, making a total of
points for the Crawford boys. The
Alliance team made great efforts to
push the score above the 100 mark,
but the intense excitement caused
wild shots for the basket and the
score remained unchanged.

WYOMING MAN FUGUTIVE
Charley Harris, who, with his
brother Frank, was under $:!,000
bond for cattle stealing at Torring
ton, Wyoming, skipped out from
Torringlon last week and tlie- last
known of him was that he came to
Alliance in an auto fromo Mitchell.
Since then all trace of til in has
been loat. It Is understood that a
reward of not less than $1,000 will
be offered for the apprehension of
Charley Harria. His brother was
surrendered by the bondamau, (leo.
; A Marsh, a brother In-law of tbe
Washington, Keb. If, Few per
sons realize the far reaching im
portance of the fact that Hie I'nited
States will soon have an income
tax on its statutes.
First of all, it means that million
aires will, for the first time sin e
this nation has stood, bear a fail
proportion of the burden of taxation.
It is estimated thai one hundred
million dollars will be raised annu
ally by taxing incomes. This will
mean that that amount of taxation
is to he- laken off of the things that
the people uiuat have in order to
live and placed on wealth.
Under the systc-m of protection as
played in this country, nearly every
penny of the money necessary to run
the government, maintain the army
and navy, construct public buildings,
etc., Is raised by taxing the- things
the people- eat, wear and use. The
only thing that protection doea not
tax id wealth A man with a fortune
of te4i million dollars has not been
riciuireei to tay a single penny of
I tax to the national governibent.
This seems almost unbelievable, but
it is true. The man working on the
action for a dollar and fifty cents
per day, with a family of five child
ren, is at the present time actually
contributing more to run the nation
al government than the millionaire
bachelor, too proud to marry and
raise a family.
The United States of Amerie-a is
prac tically the only one of the gr ,ii
nations where such a condition ex
ists. Nearly every first clas nation
on earth levies either an income lax
or an Inheritance tax. We hare
neither.
Why have we never been able to
place an income tax on the statute
books, is the iuetion that nnturallr
arises. Here is the answer: Hlgii
protectionists have prevented the
passage of an income lax law
cause they knew that the more
ey the government collected
taxing incomes, the less excuse
would he for a tariff tax. To
protection away from the- tariff
