In 1880 the Methodist Protestant
Church was organized as a protest
against the exclusive rule OF the clergy
and the demand for equal representa-.
ton of laymen. Several years ago the
Methodist Episcopal Church gave lay
representation in the General Quadre.
NAL Conferences. During the past
two years the ministers in the several
annual conferences have voted 9,163
for equal lay representation, to 1,5j2
against. When the General Confer
ence of 1900 assemblies in Chicago the
question of "equal representation"
that has agitated the NJ. E. Church for
70 years will be practically settled.
While the episcopacy (bishops) will not
be abolished as in the Methodist Pro-
testant Church, yet laymen will after
1900 have an equal voice and vote in
the law making body of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. This shows the
growth of democracy and the decline of
theocracy in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The increased intelligence of
the masses ofthe members of the church
is deserving of increased power,

The Military Court of Inquiry is still
taking testimony, although it had hop

prominent officers have been on the

of the court have served to deepen the

INCOME TAXES.

The Constitution of Virginia pro
vides that taxation shall he equal and
Uniform. and in proportion Ia tile as
aessed value of the property 1t also
provides that there may be q tax on all
incomes in excess Of 5000 year. If a
state tax on incomes is Just. why is
not Federal tax on incomes also just?
There are taxes on lineal and coll
lateral irhcri;auccs, by many Of The
states. and The y. s.. imposes a grad
uatcd tax on all inheri auces, ineal
and collateral. according to the amount
inherited, and the degree OF lin OF the
Beneficiary 10 the deceased. II these
are just and constitutional exactions.
how does an income TAX become uncon-
stitutiopal?
The Federal Constitution says, Rep
representatives and direct taxes shall
nc apportioned among the several
s'taros according to their respective
Numbers, Article l.. Section H.. clause
;. and The same Article. Section VIII.
Clause ], says that Congress shall
have rowcr 10 lay and collect taxes
duties, impcsss and excuses; a
but all duties. lmposts and excisos shall
he uniform throughout the United
Srates." lr9if'sc amply empower the
Federal Government to raise all need
ID revenue, precisely as any indepon-
dent S!ste or nation may. subject only.
10 the provisions stipulated; that all
direct taxes shall be apportlohed
among tic States according Ia Num-
pcrs, ard that duties. imposls and ex-
cises sl'uli be uniform throughout the
L. $.
An incomc-tax is not a direct tax.
even though laid on income derived
rom lands or real estate, because it is
separate and distinct thererrom, is no
substantial part thereof, ana is person.
a property, subject to all the laws af-
fecting such property. However the
az may be regarded as dusy, i'm
post or excise, and as such must be
uniform throughout the U. s."
J limited or graduated tax does not

onsdtution because i; varies accord
