GORMAN ON WAR TAX.

New York; April 28-"We should be

ergency," said Senator German, land
1T is my belief that no opposition will
be successful in an attempt to defeat
the war measure of the ways and
means committee when it comes over
to the senate from the. house of repre-
sentatives."
Senator German had just returned
from New York, where he has been in
conference with Chief Croker of Tam
many, and the situation was thorough
~ discussed among the Democratic
leaders AS result of their confer
ences it was practically determined that
whatever suggestion was made by the
administration in connection with the
war against Spain should meet with the
unwaVering support of Democrats who
stand high in the councils of their par
ty.
This is not a proper time to try to
make party capital continued Sena-
tor German, land we must all pull to-
gether for the credit and glory of our
country. By so doing we will set an
example which cannot fail to be ap-
preciated by the other nations of the
world, and it will prove to them that
craftsmanship is not considered where a
higher question is involved. There is
a disposition manifested to amend the
proposition OF the house committee on
ways and means by adding a clause for
a tax on incomes. Should it be deemed
necessary to impose such a revenue

of this sort, designed to meet a grave
condition of affairs, might be able to
run the gauntlet of the supreme court
and not be set aside on constitutional
grounds. This precedent was establish

tention was made that an income tax
was absolutely necessary to furnish

UINTAH INDIAN LANDS.
Large Area for Cession to Bona Eide
Settlers

Washington, April ga favorable
report was made today by the commit
tee on public lands on a bill authorizing
the appointment of a commission to
make a1Iotments of lands in severalty
to Indians upon the Uintah Reservation
in Utah, and to obtain the cession of
lands to the United States. The report
says:
1.-The Uintah Reservation contains
more than 1000, 900 acres of land, much
of which, by irrigation, can be made
productive and valuable for agricul-
tural purposes, it being estimated by
the surveyor general of Utah that 60
per cent thereof is unsuitable Tor agri-
culture. Numerous streams of water
traverse the reservation, which, at con-
siderable expense, can be diverted from
their natural channels and apprOpria ted
upon lands contiguous thereto. The
greater portion of the reservation is un-
occupied and is not required by the In
dams residing therein, but without leg
iSlatiOn it cannot be occupied, and must
remain sterile and unproductiVe.
1.-THE Uintah, or the UteS, as they are
frequently called, reside in the extreme
eastern portion of the reservation and
number less, than 800. Notwithstanding
generous treatment by the government,
they are rapidly diminishing. In re-
cent years the government has allotted
lands in SeVeralty to a portion of them
with gratifying results. All of them are
DESTROYS of taking lands in severalty,
and so far as is known they are inn
pressed with the advantages that will
