THE INCOME TAx-wHAT WAS DE
CIDED.

When the Supreme Court Of the United
imposing an income tax was repugnant
10 the Constitution OF the United states
and void "a great clamor was raised ana
the charge was made and believed by
very many persons that the Court had
warped the Constitution TO favor wealthy
men. Discussion of the case at the time
was entirely useless. and many people
were so inflamed they would not listen TO
reason. But the decision is old enough
now to be worked out calmly and without
passion, and, when that is done 1t may
be found there is more reason at the
back of it than many persons were dis
posed to think. Let US go over the case
calmly and dispassionately.
The Constitution OF the United States
provides that
THE Congress shall have power

provide for the common defence and gem

duties. imports and excuses shall be uni

1t then provides:
Representatives and direct taxes
shall be apportlonod among the
several States which may be included
within this Union, according TO their
respective numbers. which shall be deter
mined by adding TO the whole number
OF free persons. including Indians not
taxed thrcc-fifths of all other persons.

tion of the past few years would never

these two defects Congress had better
correct them while there Is yet time.
This. as our readers know. Is In line
with the position OF The Times on the
currency question. The national BANK

Landmark says. tho government may
retire its treasury notes and greenbacks
without danger OF contraction.
Indeed. we incline TO the opinion that
one system OF national banks OF issue
and another system of State banks OF
issue would work well together. At any
rate. if the State banks should put out
currency. which should not be quite as
good in their own locality as that OF 'he
national banks. state-bank notes would
not circulate and it would be a case OF

THE OWNERS OF GOLD COIN
Would Like to Exchange II for Gold
Certificates
Secretary Carlisle Is Considering the
Question Of Resuming Issuance OF
Certificates Suspended Since 1893

WASHINGTON, Nov 25.-The secre-
tary of the treasury is considering the
question Of resuming the issuance of
gold certificates, which was suspended
In 1898, when the gold reserve first fell
below the s1o0,0O0,O 900 mark. The issue
of these certificates was suspended as
means of acquiring gold in the treasury.
Therefore 1t had been the custom Of the
treasury to issue certificates on the de-
posit of gold, but such gold deposit did
not become part of the gold reserve. BY
suspending the issue Of those certificates
many holders of gold, rather than hold
it, exchanged it for legal tenders and
treasury notes which under the ruling Of
the department being gold obligations
practically subserved their purposes,
but the treasury on the receipt of gold
so discharged was enabled to add it to
the gold reserve. AS long as the treas
ury adhered to its policy of redeeming
legal tenders and treasury notes in
gold, the holders Of such notes could OBJ
tain gold on them as readily as on gold
certificates. However, gold holders
would prefer the gold certificates. Since
the election and gradual increase of the
gold reserve, such holders believe that
there is no reason why the issue of gold
gold certificates should not be resumed.
The matter Is now before Secretary Car
Isle and probably will be decided upon
the return of Assistant Secretary Cur
tis from New York. 1t Is understood
that Mr.. Carlisle is not favorably dispos-
ed toward the resumption. The issue of
currency certificates under the act of
1872 never has been suspended.

used to take the major and Mrs. Nc
Kinley to the home of their old friend,
Mrs. Mary Lester Reynolds, where a
quiet and informal dinner party was
held. In the afternoon there was more
pleasure driving and towards evening
the major took walk, finally landing
at the home of his mother. in time for
tea, where q portion of the evening was
spent. The express wagons made their
usual trips to the house, unloading sew

STRIKERS At LEADV|LLE
Issue an Address to Denver
Citizens
OFFER TO GUARD PROPERTY
And DiscIaim Responsibility for the
Ouirages Committed
The Miners Are Ready to Consider Any
Reasonable Proposition Looking
Toward Settlement.

Associated Press Special Wire
LEADVILIlE, Colo, Nov. 26.-The
Cloud City Miners union Of this city
has issued an address to Governor Nc
Intyre and the people Of Denver, in
which it attempts to show that a con-
spiracy exists among the mine owners
for the purpose Of keeping the state
troops in Leadville until the union IL
disorganized. The miners disclaim re-
sponsihility for the Coronado and other
outrages that have occurred here. and
offer to guard property and aid in main
tanning peace il the troops are with
drawn. The address concludes as fol-
lows:
Organization Of workingmen has be-
come necessity in all lands. 1t Is law
full and commendable.
TEN or twelve men. though wealthy
and powerful. should not be allowed to
crush and destroy 1t in this new west
ern land. Much less should they be
aided and encouraged In doing SO.
THE miners of the union are an
for an amicable settlement Of u 3
trouble. They opened the tiels Of this
Immensely productive district. They
made 1t possible for milllonaires to Sc
from 1t. They have in it the intere. OK
their days pay, bread and meat, shelter
and clothing for themselves and their
humble dependents-others have in 1t
the interest of rapidly accommodating
fortunes. The miners are ready and
willing to entertain and consider any
reasonable proposition looking toward a
settlement. They will meet the oper-
ators in a spirit Of fairness and Justice.
They cannot, Of course, and ought not
to consent to the destruction Of the
union, for that is the bulwark of their
safety. 1t stands between respectable
labor life and tramp life.
Neither can they consent to perform
their hard and exhaustive labor. under
go its constant hardships and dangers
for less wages than will supply them
with the necessities Of life.
These two things are all they de-
mand: The right for their union to live;
the right for themselves to live"

FRENCH SCHOOLS
Promise to Become Troublesome as
Those of Manitoba

PARIS, Nov. 26.-The bureau Of the
chamber Of deputies today elected a
committee to examine the bill providing
for a renewal of the privileges of the
Bank of France. The committee is un-
derstood to be favorable to the measure.
In the chamber Of deputies today there
was a large attendance on the resump-
ton of the debate on the school system,
the government having narrowly escaped
defeat yesterday In resisting the de-
mands of the Radicals for the imme-
diate installation of the female lay
teachers in $500 elementary schools,
which are still in the hands Of Sisters of
Charity, Sisters of the Poor, etc., in
stead of waiting until the sisters re-
sign or die. This motion was on the
point Of being carried yesterday when M.
Kratz, the reporter of the budget COM
mittee, saved the government from de-
feat by insisting that the resolution
must be submitted to the committee, as
it involved large increase in expendi-
lures.
On the resumption Of the school debate
today M. Jourdan demanded that the
government take steps to secularize all
girls schools within two years, but M.
Kratz opposed the motion and the pre-
mier, NJ. Meline, declared that the prop
osition was impracticable and merely a
maneuver against the government, which
would ask the chamber to reject 1t.

THE CHAMPIONS OF THE OAR
Defy the High Wind and Very Cold
Weather
The Water Was Rough but the Regatta
Was None the Less Very Sue
cessful Affair

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ga cold,
raw day and chilly wind sweeping
along the jetties and stirring up the
waters Of Oakland creek into white
caps conspired to make Thanksgiving
day about as undesirable an occasion
for a rowing regatta as one could wish.
For all that, 1t was a day Of events and
a few sensations. Stockton came long
way to participate in the matches and
then suffer defeat. The oarsmen were
only in two events and lost them both,
the first to the plucky Alameda crew and
the second to a San Francisco boy.
A. G. Brown, the pride of San Joaquin's 8
metropolis and the champion sculler of
the Pacific coast, lowered his colors to
William ]. McCausland. who, less than
a year ago, was unknown in rowing cir
cles. McCausland finished full length
ahead of his opponent in 11:26h. A bag
full of money changed hands on that
event, for Stockton had come to town
with it's pockets lined with Brown gold,
which was freely offered at good odds.
The first event was a race for four
cared barges. intermediate crews, with
the following entries:
University Of California-R. Tryer,
bow; r. Gibbons, forward waist w. o.
Blasingaine, after waist; w. E. Cole,
stroke; I'D Hammer. coxswain.
South End. Fitzalbert, bow; G.. Fox
forward waist; Thomas Lynch, after
waist; Walter Duplissea, stroke; George
McGrill, coxswain.
Alameda Boating club-Eugene Had

waist A. T. Webb, after waist; Fred
Ayers, stroke; E. v. Hansen, coxswain.
bow; ]. Burns, forward waist; ]. Silva,
after waist; G.. Bromfleld. stroke; W.
Dolan, coxswain.
The course was q mile and half with
turn, and the Stocktons had the best po-
sition and had the best of the race to
the turn. They had the inside place and
hugged the lee of the south jetty. pull
ing a beautiful, even stroke. The South
Ends were a close second, and the know
ing ones predicted victory for the South
End oarsmen. They relied on the San
Joaquin oarsmen pegging out when they
got the tide against them. They rea-
soned Alright, but reckoned without their
host All four boats reached the buoys
with but little to spare between them
but here the advantage of the Stocktolf'
new boat was made apparent. She went
around her buoy as IL working on a
pivot and got away far in the lead. The
Encinals spurted. however, and passed
the South Ends. The cheers that greeted
their performance had hardly died away
when the nose of the barge was on
Stocktons' quarter.
The Alamedans gradually gained upon
the Stockton crew, and finally finished a
length ahead of them. The University
boys left the South Enders far behind.
Time 10 minutes seconds.
j. B. Keenan, went around the course
In the Junior single scull race and was
awarded the gold and diamond medal.
The Alameda boys each got a watch
and the Stockton lads a silver medal
each.

Bode started in the single outrigger
event, and the two former were cap
sized. This event, the senior four cared
barge and the two other races will be
pulled at Long bridge on Sunday.
