INCOME TAX.

lNIOAlE 1 aA.
"By inadvertenCe the income tax
plank agreed upon by the resolutions
committee, was omitted from the plat
form as read and adopted. The SUBJ
icct. however, is covered by the re-
affirmation of the Chicago platform.
and I take this occas sion to re:sSert
nv belief in the principle which under
lies the income tax. Congress should
have authority to levy and collect an
income tax whenever necessary, and
an amendment to the FeleTal colsti-
tuition specifically comforting such au-
thority ought to be supported b. even
those who may think the tax unneceS-
sary at this time. In the hour RI
danger the government can draft the
citizen: it ought to be able to draft
the pccket- book as well. Unless money
is moro precious than blood. we can
not afford 10 give greater protection to
the incomes of the rici than TO the
lives of The poor.
IMPERIALISM.
'The subjects, however, treated in
this letter, important as each may
seem in itself, do not press so impera-
lively for solution as the question
which the platform declares to be the
paramount issue in this campaign.
/ Whether we shall adhere to or aban-
don those ideas of government which
have distinguished this nation from
other nations and given to its history
its peculiar charm and value Is ques-
tion the settlement of which cannot
be delayed. No other question can ap-
proach it in Importance; no other
question demands such immediate con-
sideration. It is easier to lose repu-
tation than to establish one, and this
nation would find it long and labor
ious task to regain its proud position
among the nations. il. under the stress
of temptation, it should repudiate the
/ self-evident truths proclaimed by our
heroic ancestors and sacredly treasured
during a career unparalleled in the
annals of time. When the doctrine
that the people are the only source OF
power is made secure from further al
tack we can safely proceed to the set
! tlement of the numerous questions
which involve the domestic and eco
poruic welfare Of our citizens.

ON OLEOMARGARINE BILL
HEARING BEFORE THE SENATE
AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEE.
Representatiye GrOut, EX-GOv. Hoard
and RathbOne Gardner Make
Arguments.

The Senate committee on agriculture to-
day began the consideration of the oieo-
margarine bill by hearing persons interested
in the measure which recently passed the
House
A large majority of those present We're
opponents of the bill The oleomargarlne
men generally complained of having re-
ceiyed very short notice, and most of them
asked for more time. EX-Representative
W. NJ. Springer appeared in behalf OF the
National Live Stock Association, in oppo-
sition to the bill. Representative Grout ana
Ex-Governor Hoard of Wisconsin were the
only persons present supporting the bill.
Mr. Grout was first heard. He is the
author of the bill and was permitted TO
make an explanation of its provisions. he
went over practically the same ground
covered in his argument when the Dbl was
before the House.
Former Governor Hoard also maze an
argument in support of the bill, saying
that its purpose is that of preventing the
counterfeiting of food far as the fed-
eral government has power to do that
Rathbone Gardner of Provldence' n. L.,
representing the Oakdale Manufacturing
Company makers of oleo made an arsu-
ment against the pending bill.
I'VE contend that this bill is dishonest In
purpose and dishonest In fact ne de-
clared ut seeks to accomplish by fndlrec-
ton that which could be accomplished IN
no other way.
He maintained that the bill clearly was
revenue act; that it was so on Its face, ana
by reason of that fact he believed the
courts would hold 1t to be unconstitutional.
He maintained that Congress had no moral
right to pass an act really revenue meas
ure, but purporting to be an act to regulate
a kind of business
Mr.. Gardner made an argument In sup
port Of the business of the oleomargarine
manufacturer, declaring that the product
ter than some butter.
Mr.. Gardner described the manufacture
of oleomargarine and told Of the restric-
tions tnat were thrown around Its manu-
facture, his point being that the product
contained nothing deleterious, and that its
manufacture was regulated by law. While
he admitted that in some instances oleo-
margarine was sold as butter, there was
really no ground for the wild charges"
that 80 per cent of the oleomargarine prod
uct was sold as butter.

The appointment of Mr. J. q. A. Leish-

partment.
No change In the Chinese situation has
been reported to the State Department.
The recent complication was really curious,
and can only be ascribed to some sort of
error in telegraphc transmission, in the
translation or retransation Of messages
into cipher or to an absolute misunder-
standing on the part Of the recipients of
some Of the latest dispatches exchanged
between Pekin and the foreign capitals and
Washington Now 1T seems. according to
the latest view. that the United States gov
ernment, far from seeking to induce the
British government and the others inter-
ested to accept the term 'irrevocable," as
defining the purposes Of the powers in
dealing with China, actually intended to take
exactly the opposite view Of the matter
Through the aforesaid error. however, the
British government, which also objected to
the use Of the word "irrevocable." was led
to believe that the United States govern
ment desired the word to be retained At
ter a long delay 1t consented to accept the
word. But this is exactly what our gov
ernment does not want. Now the ex-
changes which are proceeding rapidly are
with a purpose on the part Of our govern
ment to get rid of the "irrevocable'' term
or idea, but 1t begins to appear that that
is going to be difficult Of accomplishment
for even Great Britain, though accepting
the word against its original judgment, ap-
pears now disposed to allow 1t to remain.
