Another Kansas idea is stirring. It is
the movement inaugurated by Hon. Per-
cy Daniels looking to the taxation of
inordinate wealth. The promoters of
the scheme of taxation hope to have an
amendment to the United States consti-
tution which will permit the special
taxation of hundred millionaires and
those whose wealth is less than that
The promoters of the scheme hope to in-
duce in time the legislatures of a anili-
cicut majority of the states topass reso-
lutions similar to the one already
adopted by that of Kansas, asking con»
gross to submit for ratification a consti—
tutional amendment allowing a tax on
inordinate wealth. The Kansas enthu-
siasts hope that the closing year of the
century will see the country voting on
their proposed amendment to the na-
tional constitution.

lM'llt'Yi‘ it is owing largely to a decline
in consumption of spirits. Mr. Wells is
inclined to think a good part of the de-
cline is to be explained by the immune
of moonshine whisky. llowevor that
may be, he recommends lowering the
spirit tax to the old ilgune, 00 mute on
