The Income Tax,

decision by the Supreme Court as
to the constitutionality OF the income
tax may be made today. But it may not
be made until a week from today
Rumor has it that five of the eight
justices believe the tax unconstitu-
tional; but this report is purely con-
jectural. Should it prove true, an extra
session of congress would need to be
called at once, to take steps to provide
sufficient revenue to meet the govern
ments running expenses, which are not
covered by the income derived from the
operation Of the Wilson tariff.
1t was estimated by the treasury au-
thorities that the income tax would
yield about $4,000 900 annually, of
which, it may be said in passing, the
prosperous North would contribute
three-fourths. Secretary Carlisle has
figured that if the income tax nets
$50 00e, 900 a year and the Wilson tariff
plus the postal revenue nets S446, ,907, ,407,
the government, by being very economi-
cal, can squeeze through so as to make
both ends meet. This estimate was
based upon the secretary's belief that
the governments expenses this year
would be only s35S, ,j2O. 1t is now
clear, however, and from Democratic
figures, that the governments expenses
this year will be, not $35S ,047 500, but
more than $49S 900, 600 Hence, even
with the income tax, there will be
deficiency of $21. 600, 900; while if that tax
be declared unconstitutional and inop-
erative, this deficiency will increase at
one jump to $51 900, 600.
Having twice sold bonds to meet cur
rent Indebtedness, the president might
take that pitcher third time to the
well, should the Supreme Court invali-
date the income tax. But there would,
under such conditions, be such an out
cry from the people that it is more
plausible to believe he would summon
congress to an extraordinary sitting,
and thus permit the Republican major
ity to share his anxiety.

The Reorganization of Councils.

Concerning the two Official DOdleS
which expire in the municipal building
today it can with entire justice be said
that they have done more to bring the
legislative branch OF the government
of this city into contempt than any
two councils in many years. This
statement Is made advisedly, and in
due recognition of the worth of several
individual members, who although up
right and progressive and thoroughly
representative, have nevertheless been
unable to outvote the majority in either
branch, when it has seen fit to give
away franchise after franchise and
privilege after privilege to large cor
porations, without deriving for the city
one penny in return.
In the new councils who will come
into power today the percentage Of
reputable, law-abiding and honest
members will be somewhat increased.
We trust that this increase will be
sufficient to put an end to the free dis
pensation of Traction company and
other benefits which has been in con-
tinuous progress in the legislative por
tion Of the municipal government dur
ing the past two years. We propose to
keep tab on the proceedings Of these
councils, and we hope to note distinct
Improvement in the accustomed coun-
cilmanic workmanship. If we do not,
there will be some fun.
Touching the city solcitorship, we
trust that the good work done by Mr..
Torrey during the past two years will
be fittingly remembered and rewarded.
He deserves an unanimous renomina-
ton. His work as city solicitor has not
been partisan. 1t has been an honest
and earnest transaction of official busi-
ness for the whole city, regardless of
politics; and it clearly entities him to
the votes Of Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans. The sentiment of the people
is overwhelmingly in his favor, not
simply because he is a. Republican, but
because, as a public servant, he has
put the affairs of his important office,
for the first time in it's history, in first
class, business-like condition, and Is,
therefore, needed to complete and per-
feet the desirable Transformation.

Seed Grain for Nebraskans.

A number of Philadelphians. under
the lead of the Press, have instituted
movement to send twenty-five car
loads of seed grain as Pennsylvania 9
Offering to the famine-stricken farmers
of Nebraska, to whom seed time has
come and found them destitute of the
means of fresh planting. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company, through First
Nice-President Frank Thompson, has
volunteered to transport this grain free
OF cost from points in Pennsylvania
| to Chicago, and no doubt some western
road will push that good work through
to its Nebraslan destination.
This action has been decided upon
after consultation with Senator Will
lam V. Allen. OF Nebraska, who assures
the people of this state that thousands
of his constituents, scattered over a
large area, find the spring coming upon
them with not peck of seed to start a
crop for the coming year. They have
had to kill their stock to a large ex-
tent, having no food for it, and that
which has survived is thin and weak.
What Is worse, they have had to use
their seed grain to sustain life during
the winter. and now. when the season
of grain sowing and corn planting Is
nigh, they have no seed. Unless this
deficit is promptly supplied, they will
get no benefit from this years crops.
and their condition next autumn will be
one of absolute starvation.
There has hitherto been some uncer-
tainty In the minds OF eastern people

CLEO PROBLEM SOLVED.
Outlines OF a Bill Which viii Permit the

Guard Against Misrepresentation.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Harrisburg, March 3l.-The oleo people
and the grongers are likely to get their
differences fixed UP and agree upon bill
to be passed at this session. 1t is the
Sniveiy measure dressed in new clothes.
The bill provides that any article resem-
bling butter in appearance and not made
wholly, salt and colorlng excepted, from
the milk of COWS, shall be imitation but
ter. The words butter" dairy" or
creamery shall form neither the whole
nor part Of the name Of any imitation
butter or appear upon any article or upon
any box, tub or package containing imta-
ti0n butter
No person by himself or his agents shall
manufacture or sell any article or COM
pound made wholly or partly out of any
fat, oil or oleagenOUs substance or COM
pound thereof, not produced from unadul-
terated milk or cream, which shall be In
imitation Of yellow butter produced from
pure milk or cream. Provided that moth
ing in this act shall be construed to pro-
hlbit the manufacture or sale of oleo In
such distinct form and manner as will ad
wise the consumer of its real character.
Dealers who sell imitation butter are re-
quired to maintain in plain sight. where
the selling Is done, a sign bearing in plain
black Roman letters, not less than two
inches wide and four inches long on a
white ground, the words, sold here" pre-
ceded by the name of the imitation article.
If the selling is done from wagon or
other vehicle such a sign must be con-
spicuously displayed upon it's outside. If
the delivering is done from the wagon or
other vehicle a similar sign must be con-
spicuously displayed with the words, de
lvered here" preceded by the name of
imitation article.

go hang. Democrats of the Harrity
stripe waste no time in pretending so
rare thing as gratitude for favors al
ready received. They perceive clearly
enough that the present national ad-
ministration has reached the end OF its
rope: 1t can bestow no more offices,
and reward no more henchmen. IT is
dead, so far as all that goes. What
they are now concerned about Is the
future and its opportunities. Let Kerr

claws are clipped. They know trick
worth two of that.
The supremacy of Harrity in Lacka-

Of the situation throughout Penn9yl-
vanla. Mr. Kerr. viii unquestlonably

Dental recognition year or two

as to the precise amount of confidence
TO be placed in lately current reports
touching destitution in Nebraska. The
authority of Senator Allen ought to be
proper light. Every city in Pennsyl-
vania ought to take pleasure in con-
tributing food and grain to the pro-
posed Nebraska relief train. The op-
portunity Is open to Scranton to take
a foremost part in this charitable en-
deavor. Who will give a quantity of
seed grain for the Nebraska sufferers?
The proposition, elsewhere outlined,
that the present embargo in this state
on the sale of oleomargarine shall be
lifted, upon condition that oleo will be
sold for what 1T Is, and distinctly
labeled, ia a fair one, TO which no
rational citizen can offer serious objec-
ton. Tho fight against the present pro-
hibtory law is not one Of hostility to
the dairy interests; but simply one of
common fairness. If people wish to
buy oleo, deliberately and in their right
minds. they should have that privilege.
We believe that oleo. as a food, is better
than much OF the high-prlced stuff that
masqueradeg as dairy butter. Give
oleo chance.

By what right does the Scranton
Traction company run its cars down
Adams avenue at a speed exceeding
twelve and sometimes fifteen miles an
hour? Who assumes the risks and re-
sponsibilties of accident arising from
that excessive speed in much-traveled
public thoroughfare? If there is an or
dinance limiting the rate at which
public conveyances shall move, inside
the city limits, why is it not enforced?
If there is no such ordinance, why is
not one passed?

Lack of Organized Force,

Congressman Haiucr, of Nebraska,
in very pertinent speech before the
National Dairy Union, at Washington,
said that he had learned one thing in
Congress, and that was that there
was almost a total lack of organiZa-
ton among the Dairymen of the
United States ia favor of laws against
adulteration of dairy products. What
"a comment that is upon the citizen
ship of dairymen. Ask any man
among them if he is in favor of such
laws and he will answer yes. Ask him
if he has done anything practical to
impress his opinion on the law max
ers, whether in Congress or in his own
state, and not one in a thousand will
answer yes.
No wonder that Bynum, of Indiana,
and host of other Congressman will
fight the Grout bill or any other bill
that interferes with their friends, the
oleO combine. 1t is because the oleo
combine is organized and the dairy
men are not. 1t is because the oleo
men will spend thousands upon thous-
ands of dollars to destroy the dairy
interest, while the dairymen stand in
different. The cleo men are practi-
cal; the dairymen are i'm practical.
The oleo men hire lobbyists by the
score to block the progress Of legisla-
ton against them. Will the dairy
men pay the small sum of one dollar
to help the National Dairy Union? 1t
seems to us that not to do this is I'M
wise and unpatriotic.
There are three simple ways for
every dairyman to make himself effec-
tive:
|. He should write postal card to
his member of congress and to each OF
the senators of his state, asking them
to support the Grout bill. Ask them
to defend you against a fraud and
a counterfeit.
=. Also write postal card to your
member of the state assembly and
senate calling for state laws against
this fraud. 1t is the nUmb Der of atoms
in this postal card snow storm that
will tell. Every farmer can add TO its
weight. Don't fail to do il.
3. Send the small sum of one dol
lar TO the National Dairy Union to
help make up the sinews of war in
this fight. Do this all over the land
and the butter counterfeiters will
hear something drop inside OF the
next 90 DAYS. If you wish. send your
contribution TO Hoard's Dairyman,
Fort Atkinson. Wis, and we Will &C.
knowledge receipt of same and for
ward il to the treasurer. Do all three
of these things and thus organize
Hoard's Dairyman.

Pioneers of Civilization.

a hundred and four years ago there
was born into this world, in a quiet
country parish of England, one of the
souls that became conspicuous as
lights to and leaders of men-John
Wesley. He was the founder of the
religious sect of Methodists, and sell
dom has any mortal attained such a
following rs he i'm less than a century
from his birth. In the great West
the Methodist preacher has always
been abreast of the settlements: in
fact he has been pioneer of civiliZa-
ton, and much more than will ever
been written down is due TO him for
the development of our country
Among these pioneers the preachers
of other creeds have not been laggard:
and earliest of them all were the
Catholic fathers who visited the far
Northwest more than a century ago
their names preserved in the appela-
tions of town and counties. In the
last forty years the great pioneer force
OF the West has been the rallrOad-Of-
ten not waiting for the woOdsman or
farmer, but pushing far ahead of set
Element, and making it possibility.
Such a force has been the great Bur
lington Route-civiliZatio develop
ment and prosperity have followed its
steps as it crossed the Mississippi, the
Missouri, spread itself over the plains
of Nebraska, touched the foot of the
