So many rear platform accidents have
occurred in New York city by the too hasty
starting of the cable cars when passengers
were alighting or entering that the grand
jury has recommended that the companies
be required to keep an extra noan constant
ly stationed on the rear platform, whose
sole duty shall be to give the signals for
starting and stopping, while the conductor
does nothing but collect fares. If rear plat
form passengers did not kindly take upon
themselves the remaining duties of the con-
ductor while that functionary is inside TAX
ing fares the need of the extra man would
be felt on the Indianapolis trolley cars in
busy hours. Inconvenience is often exper-
fenced by passengers through their inability
to signal to the conductor when they wish
to alight, his collecting not being completed
in many cases until the car is far up town.
A system of electric signals to reach the
motorman, such as trolley cars in ST. Louis
are supplied with, would obviate this diff

they lose a feeling of faith in their

them in their practice without hesitation

THE INCOME TAX DECISION.

A statement which seems to be based
on correct information shows that the
decision of the Supreme Court on the
income-tax law will nullify some of the
most important provisions of the law
and leave the entire enactment in a
very crippled condition o the eight
judges who heard the argument and
rendered the decision four, it is said,
were in favor of pronouncing the entire
law unconstitutional, while each of the
other four was opposed to particular
features of it. The result was a series
of compromises which leave the law as
a whole in force but overthrow some of
it's most important provisions.
The court holds that the tax on in
come from rents is equivalent to a tax
on real estate itself, and therefore a
direct tax and unconstitutional, and it
holds that the tax on income from State
and municipal bonds is equivalent to
taxing bonds themselves. and therefore
invalid. The exemption of these two
classes of property from the operation
of the law will release an immense
amount of income-producing property
from the tax and will give the law a
very unequal and unjust application.
Manufacturers, business men. profess
sional men,. bankers and salaried men
of all classes whose incomes exceed $4,-
600 q year will have to pay the tax,
while those who have large incomes
from real estate or from State and mu-
nicipal bonds will be exempt. Trust
companies which wv large amounts of
realty and municipal bonds will not
have to pay on their Incomes from these
sources. The tenant or renter whose
income exceeds 1000 a year will have
10 pay, while his landlord will not.
State and county officers whose salaries
exceed $4,000 will have to pay, While
and county bonds will be exempt.
The result of the decision will be to
make the law far more unpopular
than it has been before, and prob
ably insure it's early repeal. 1t will
greatly reduce the revenue which the
tax was expected to produce and lead to
much confusion in the internal-revenue
department. AS a great many returns
have already been made. including in
comes from rents and State and mu-
nicipal bonds. there will be numerous
claims for rebate on these items, and
this may lead to litigation. The situa-
ton is a direct result of hasty and crude
legislation.

Members of the famous Seventh Reg

wheels, and then mounted and glided
here and there and everywhere in mill

squares. General Miles was present and
was so pleased with the performance
that he declared his intention of recon-
mending the bicycle to the Secretary
Of Wal as an aid to infantry regiments
