1t has been the party of liberty and

INCOME TAX PLANK.
Explanation of Its Loss From the
Democratic Platform.

Indianapolis, Ind. July 13.-Samuel E.
Morse, Indiana's member of the resolu-
tions committee at the national Dem
ocratic convention, in a signed inter-
view makes the following explanation
of how there came to be no income tax
plank in the national Democratic plat
form. He says:
THE platform as adopted by the COM
mittee on resolutions of the Kansas
City convention contained a declaration
in favor of the adoption of legislation
adjusting an income tax and providing
for the election of United States sena-
tors by the people. No objection was
made to the resolution and I am con-
WINGED that the omission of reference to
the income tax was the result of an
oversight due to the haste with which
the subcommittee was obliged to act to
put the platform as unanimously
agreed upon in shape to be submitted
to the convention. The idea that the
declarat ton for the income tax was pur-
posely omitted by the subcommittee
out of Difference to. Senator Hill, or any
other person, is preposterous-
when Senator Tillman had nearly
finished the platform some of the In
diana delegates said to me that moth
ing had been read about the income tax.
l said to them that the platform as
agreed upon by the committee con-
tanned declaration for the income tax
and that if it had been omitted it was
due to oversight, either by Senator Till
man in reading or by the copyiSt who
had transcribed the document I went
Mayor Harrison of Chicago, and asked
Mayor Harrison of Chicag, who was the
Illinois member of the committee, If he
had noted the omission. He said he had
not I was about to go on the platform
to call attention to the matter when

TO COMPLY WITH THE Law.
Santa Fe Pushing Work of Equipping
Cars With Safety CounIers

The Santa F'e is bending all its ener-
g1es towards the completion of the equip
ment of freight cars with safety couplers
within the time specified by law.
Owing to the fact that there has been
a continued demand by all the railroads
for the safety couplers, the manufactur-
ers have not been able to turn them out in
sunlcient quantities to accommodate the
trade For this reason the work on
Santa Fe cars has been delayed, but by
the end of the month it is thought that
practically all the cars will be fitted with
the new couplers. August l is the final
date
OF course there will be cars on foreign
roads not equipped, but the material will
be sent to the point where the cars are
and arrangements made to have the work
done.

Theaters in Santa Fe Towns.

Mr.. F. S. Savage, advertising man
ager of the Santa Fe in this city, is
getting out a revised list of theaters
along the line of the Santa Fe road
proper. The list gives the population
of the respective cities. the number of
playhouses, dimension of stage and seat
ing capacity. Such a list was first got
ten out last year and distributed among
the booking agencies Of the east. Be
cause of the good crops in the west, the
list will probably prove of more bene-
fit to various towns in the way of Sc
curing attractions this winter than it
did last year.

Mayor Harrison called to me and said
that Mr.. Abbott told him that the in
come tax declaration had been read by
Senator Tillman. Unless Mr.. Abbott's
ears deceived him it was read and the
omission occurred by accident in the
copies furnished to the press. 1 have
no doubt that Mr.. Bryan will define
his position and that of his party on
this subject in his letter of accept
ance. Mr.. Bryan has long been an
advocate of the income tax and the
Democratic party of the country is
united in advocating it.

DIR. sTUBBs's MISSION.
What Department of Agriculture
Says Officially of 1t,

WASHINGTON, July 24.-In the act
making appropriations for the United
States Department of Agriculture for
the present fiscal year Congress provid-
ed for the inauguration of experiment
stations in the islands of Hawaii and
Porto Rico. In accordance with this
provision, the Department has taken
preliminary steps to determine the best
plan of operation in each case and the
subjects which are in most need of i'm
mediate attention. The work has been
placed in charge of the Office of Expert
ment Stations, and the following infor-
nation in relation to the action taken
by that office is from Experiment Sta
ton Record, Vol. XII, No. l, soon to be
issued.
DR.. w. C. Stubs, director of the Lou
isiana Experiment Stations, will make
the preliminary survey of the condi-
tons in the Hawaiian Islands. He
sailed for Hawaii about the middle of
July and will spend the month of Au-
gust in the Islands. The conditions
there differ from those of Porto Rico,
as station for experiments in sugar
production has been maintained by
private beneticence for a number of
years. The lines in which investiga-
ton is most needed, the possibility Of
greater diversification of agriculture,
the expense of the work, and the means
of disseminating information will be
carefully inquired into. This will prob
ably prove suitable field for investi-
cations on the use and economy of wa
ter in Irrigation, since, according to
reliable reports, in no other pace is s.
much money expended for pumping
water for irrigation. Some pumps are
said to be raising 3O.0O0.OOO gallons of
water per day from depth of 500 feet
and the expense of irrigating in some
cases reaches as high as $125 per acre
annually.

The little Island schooner Norma,
true to her hoodoo reputation. is re-
ported on the reef at Koolau on the
other side of this Island. Early yester-
day morning she went ashore and the
fact was shortly afterwards announced
by telephone. Waterfronters looked
wise and said It was about time she
was on a reef again, or lost or swal-
owed by whale, or something. OF
course, she will get off, at least that Is
what the old salts say. Efforts are now
being made to get her in deep water
and she may be soon looked for, pump

Norma left here on Friday-hoodoos

but her admirers say not.
