h That congress shall have full power to
lay and collect a tax upon incomes with
out regard to the source or sources from
which the income is derived. In laying
such tax upon incomes regard may be
had to classes and grades of income fixed
by law according to amount, but the
tax upon incomes of the same grade or
class shall be uniform throughout the
United States.
That congress shall not pass any law
fog the establishment of any religion or
contributing financial aid to any institu-
ton wholly or in part under sectarian
control.
That congress shall have power to es-
tablish uniform laws to suppress and
prevent combinations in restraint OF
trade and which create a monopoly of
affect prices, aud to regulate the inspec-
ton Of books and annual returns of all
corporations, etc.
That the term of office Of the presi-
dent of the United States he six years
and that no president be eligible for re-
election.
Strong arguments can be presented in
favor of each of the propositions here
presented, and three of them at least
should be pressed to a decision as soon
as possible. The most important in
many respects is the one that would con
fer on congress power to pass uniform
laws t" suppress and prevent combina-
tions il restraint of trade. This would
give congress powerful weapon to use
agains' the pernicious trust. The elec-
tion ot United States senators by direct
vote # the people is another reform
greatly neeued. The proposed amend
mcnt yrsying in congress power to- lay
and collect d tax upon incomes is sound
IN principle, and its adoption would re-
move Al the constitutional objections
raised to the income tax law which was
upset by the supreme court. Duluth
