TEXAS GOVERNOR WOULD PARDON GOOD PRISONERS.
Say* He Will Look After Interesta of All tha Friendless.
How many friendless convicts there are in the Texas state penitentiary that are worthy of being pardoned no one knows. (Jovernor James E. Ferguson says he purposes to flnd out and to ap ply his pardoning power to ail who have good re<'ords and are entitled to the favor in other respects.
The lotal population of the state firlson is nhout ;{,S(X), men and women. Thousands of these submerced people have no frloii'ls outside of the prison walls to Interceile in Ihelr behalf, no matter how go<Ml nnd model a prisonei- he may have been.
It has been amply proved in the past that the i'onvict wbo has friends or money can olilain a pardon without much difflculty. There are many law¬ yers in the stnle who make a specialty 'Of oI)talnin;r tho piirdons of convicts for n stipulated fee in each case
They appear before fjovornor Fergu¬ son and tlic pMnlon board and submit a
brief coveriiu' ll ase. together with a
signed riclition rcipiestintr llie person's pardon. If ilie convlcf's rocord in pris on Is unod il i< usual for tiie pardon to he issued.
It Is tbe friemlloss element who have no money to <T,)ploy l.-iwyers that Gov ernor I'er^'usdn now v.'iints to rea<-h. He recently iiiinounced tliat he will Is sue pardons soon for a hnndred men nnd wonien of tliis r-lass and that oth ers will lie freed as rapidly as the bonrd of pardons cun personally visit fhe prison Jind convict farms and bear Ihe individual cases.
(Jovernor Ferguson is deeply Inter¬ ested in placing the state peiiUenllnry system on a higher plane and better financial basis. lie believes that more of the <onvicts should lie einploye<l in outdoor labor than lias lieon the ens lom heretofore.
With this end in view he recently purchased on bohrilf of the state an other plantation of several thousand acres, which gives tbe penitentiary sys tem more than ,b).<iOO acres to be culti vafod by I'onvi i iiilnji-.

Its ob.iect Is to "foster Americanism and loyal t.v to the institutions of the United States, to spread understand¬ ing of the language aud laws and espe daily to direct a mutual understanding between aliens and citizens of the couu¬ try."
Those behind the project seek, it Is said, to olrtlterate objectionable ele ments of .Vmerican life.

The German fleld post, like every¬ thing else connected witli the kaiser's military machine. Is us nearly perfect as it is possible to make it, which is proved by the fact that more than 15,- 500,000 letters are handled every day by the 5,-100 specially trained postoflice men who direct the delivery of this enormous quantity of mail matter. A flne description of Ihe German fleld ' post nnd its management was given in I u recent issue of the scmiotflciai
Xortb Oerman Gazette. I "About 2,400,000.000 fleld post let¬ ters have been carried to fhe front." says the Gazette, "from August. 1014. to July 31. 1915, throuKh the interme¬ diary of the inland fleld post stations. In addition 1 ,(!00,(K)0.000 field post let¬ ters were mailed from tiie front. Thi' total of letters cnrried by the German Held post amounts so far to a|ipi'ovl mately 4.000.000.00t) letters.
"Tlie iiersonnei of the twent.v-throo Inland fleld jxist stations has grown from 3.100 in the middle of Augnst. 1914, to between 13.000 and 14.000 at the present time. The number of field post mall bags dispatched dally into the fleld. which reached Its maximum in necember. when the Cbristmas mail, eonslstlnu' of -JO.WMJ bags, was forwarded, amounts at present to near¬ ly 5,000. That means approximately 3,300,000 pounds of letters, requiring 800 auto maii trucks.
Postage Rate Reduced.
"Many Improvements made in the service since the war began hnve led to the increased use of the German fleld posl. Among these improvements arc the reduction of iwstago for F. P. letters from 2<1 to 10 pfennigs, the ad¬ mission of heavy letters weighing from a haif to one pound, with a permissi¬ ble excess weight of 30 per cent; the acceptance of newspajier subseriptlon by relatives or other persons at home for members of tbe army, gratis dis¬ tribution of fleld post letters nnd cards to trooi>s In the fleld, the admission of flrst class mail containing liipiida, thc introduction of special fleld post mon ey orders for iiostal savings, etc.

"And even in the fleld the {wst shirks I no work to flx up defective letters so ' that they may reach the addressee. I In the easttrn as well as on the west- I ern theater of war there are special i postofflces devote<l solely to the task, j
"Not imly the enormous amount of i business done by tbe German field post i commands respect, but also the untir- i Ing care bestowed upon each letter or ! package Intrusted to it, no matter bow i inaaflSciently equipped for tbe long! Joamey." )
This Is His Suggestion to Secretary of Labor—Prompted by the Financial Problem Incident to the National De¬ fense Plan—Nearly All Would Be Collected From the Rich.
Frederic C. Howe, commissioner of immigration at .New York, has sent to Secretury of I.tibor Wilson a detailel plun for meeling a possilile treasury <leflcit caused by the Unancing of the administration's big national defense lU'Ogrum. "¦'
It is gener.-illy <onceded that Presi dent Wilson bas formed a tentative plnn for raisiiiK^ the millions of dollars necessary t<i the increase of thc mili¬ tary forces, but until ho explains to congress in his annual niessajio how iio expects to raise it Howe's plan is at trading consideraiile attention.
Howe proceeds <ni the tlieory that the expenses of thc preparedness pljin should bc met by taxation rather llian by the sale of bonds. Briefly his idea is to heavily increase (he income tax and avoid as much as possible^ixes on prodm'ts of ooiisiiniption, whicb are usually Jiaid by the poor.
"America collects approxiuiately .$;!.'J0 per capita from ciistoins taxes. Ger muny collects .Si'.."!!!; .Viisiiia .f2.¦.'."¦. Russia 84 cents and .Inpaii 40 cenls. In uddition tlio burden of internal reveuno falling upon tho .'\merican poor Is about $'.',.'.',i) per capita, wliiie the inciuue.tax yields only about fit* cents per capita.
"Great Britain, however, even be fore the wur, collected $5.40 per capita from the Income lax. Additionally thc British government collected $.3.10 per head from an inheritance tax. All told, Great Britain collected 45 per cent of her total revenues from this source. .¦Vnd her taxable wealth Is very much less than the rnlled States.
Collect It From the Rich. "Every deniand of justice suggests that the burden of federal taxation should be rea<l.jiiste<;l. Certainly any increase should not be thrown upon the backs of thc poor. It ahould be collected from Ihose best able to bear It. And wc Imve only begun to tax incomes and inheritances. The taxable incomes, both' personal and corporate, ex<'lusive of exemptions, amount to probably $6,000,000,000. Tho wealth of the Inited States is In the neighborhood of * 130,000,000,000.
"Here are Iwo sources of Increas¬ ed revenue. Probably $3,000,000,000 changes hands through death every year. If ¦'50 per cent of this were ex¬ empt It would leave taxable fund of $31,500,000,000, which, if taxed at a progressive rate of from 1 per cent to 5 per cent, would yield from $50,- 000,000 to $100,0(X),000 without serious burden to the hoiieflclarles. Certainly inlieritance in excess of $1.000,00n could easily bear the burden of 5 per • ent, and no real injustice would be done If the tux were as high as 10 per cent. An additional $50,000.fKX) and $100,000,0(10 could be raised from an ln<'rease in the tax upon income. In¬ cluding tho the surtax.
•The income lax In Great Britain has lieen raised in reeent years to 33 r>»'r cent upon very large Incomes. From thet<" combined sources $100.- OOO.OOO to $200,.COO,000 could easily be added to our federa? revenues."
