WOULD CREATE DEFICIENCY.
some members of the minority OF the
committee have proposed TO abolish all the
war revenue and offer in place thereof an
income tax. OF course, said he, 1T is per-
fectly obvious to every thinking man that
this would cause an immediate deficiency
H. our revenues. The enactment of a new
Income law would not furnish a dollar of
additional revenue. We already have an
tncorne-tax law upon the statute books
which has not been repealed. The Supreme
Court has decided IL unconstitutional. Wat
reason Is there 70 hope a new enactment
OF this kind would meet with any other
fate?
"Another proposition has been made by
the minority to abolish the entire addi-
tional tax upon beer. This would result
"a an additional reduction of 100000. 1t
would produce the grossest injustice. What
argument Is there in favor OF reducing the
entire tax on beer. which does not apply
with as great force to the reduction or the

pressed regret that the Republicans had

met with a great stroke of fortune. Rob
ert 5. Brookings and Samuel 5. Cupples of
that city, millionaires, have transferred to
the institution property valued at 50 OOO,-

vate shipping stations in the world, known
as the Cupples station. The station was
founded 10 years ago, and controls six
blocks of business property conferred on

the shipping of wholesale goods. Cupples

and each subscribed for $1,000 shares of
stock. This stock is now valued at So
OO0, 900, and during the last year has paid
in dividends more than $4OO, 600. This en-
tire stock has been placed in the possession
of the university, ard it now will have the
operation of the plant and the control of
hundreds of employees, who practically do
the bulk of the shipping business of st.
Louis. By placing the property IN the
hands of the university S25, 900 is saved IN
taxes. Mr.. Brookings, who has been re-
ceiving a salary of $25, 900 year as man

Deadlock Broken at Rutland.

The deadlock which has existed in the
city government at Rutland since March
has been broken at last, and the wheels Of
government are moving once more. There
is no sign of reconciliation between the
mayor and the board of aldermen, but
there has been a sudden change in the posi-
ton of certain of the aldermen, and the
opponents of the mayor, who have all
through the contest had bare majority in
the board meetings, now have enough votes
to pass any measure over the mayors veto.
The five members of the board who have
heretofore stood by. the mayor and pre-
vented the other six from everything the
mayors veto, have gone over to the other
side in a body and left the mayor in the
lurch. In return the five have been given
a better representation on the standing
commit, es of the board
The change in the condition of affairs be
came evident at the meeting Monday night
Everything seemed to be going as usua
when the meeting opened, but after a mes
sage had been received from the mayor
virtually vetoing the bill for the State and
county taxes, it was voted unanimously T.
pass the resolution ordering these and 9th

This started the ball rolling and the boart
stayed in session until nearly midnight
