The income tax which was the source
of so much hope to the administration
bids fair to be a dead letter. officials
of the tax office have been working
overtime to determine the results safe
to count on from this source and al.
though no official statement has been
given out 1t is generally credited that
to all intents and purposes the income
tax law is practically useless as
a source of any considerable revenue
The exact sum capable of collection
from the men with incomes is not es.
tablished but the intricacies of this
terribly intricate and double taxation
warrant the prediction that 1t will not
furnish enough money to competently
relieve the situation.
while this distressing condition Ia
being vigorously forced upon the
minds of officials in charge of Terri
torial revenue. all departments. more
especially the Department Of Public
Works is having brought home to II
from all parts of the Territory. the
absolute necessity for funds. not alone
for new work. but to save that already
done. The condition of the Territory's
financial affairs is such as to warrant
no division of opinion on factional or
party lines.
The condition faced now was what
was predicted by many Immediately
after the legislative sessions close.
The executive officers set to work
arduously. hoping to find some way
out of the difficulty that the Territory
might not be forced to the extra eX-
pense of legislative term. Admitting
that these officers were acting on thor
oughly honest motives the outcome at
present indicates that the solution they
attempted was and is impossible. The
Territorial income from present reve-
nues is entirely incompetent to assure
the proper conduct of public business.
The government suffers, the business
men suffer, the departments cannot
keep pace with increasing and pressing
duties without money.
A special session OF the Legislature
is the solution and the only solution.

be considerable difficulty In coming TO

The plan for the consolidation was
proposed as means Of solving tho
problem of running the island steam

that the service would not be Grip

feasible plan. Now that the scheme
has fallen through the companies will
be left to work out their own saliva

ls Victory For Steel Workers, Says
Buildinu Union,

New York, Aug. Ga meeting Of
the board of delegates of the building
trades OF this city was held yesterday
and the strike of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
was considered. After some discus
sion set of resolutions was adopted
attacking the United States Steel Cor.

with an attempt to break up the or.
ganization of the workers. The CON
cluding paragraph of the resolutions
reads:
Resolved, That we pledge our moral
and financial support to the utmost
extent to the steel workers in their
great struggle, and that If the Amcri.
can Federation Of Labor considers it
necessary to do so we will refuse to
haNdle the product of the steel trust
as long as the strike lasts. We be
lieve that the winning of this strike
by the Amalgamated Association is Of
vital Importance to organized labor all

WORK FOR GOOD ROADS.
Considerable Has Been Acc0nplishe
An the Course Of 0ne Decade
OF Agitation.

Ten years Of agitation has resulted
n national movement for good
roads. but it is only within three
years that . tangible progress has
been made.
Up to that time there had been Q
Humher OF state associations. Later
these were made to include . numbel
Of states. until in 1897 national con.
vsntion was called at st. Louis.
Twenty-Five states responded 70 the
call. with over 1900 delegates. 9th
er and larger conventions were held
in 1898. 1899 and 1900. Several years
ago President Moore originated the
idea Of trips of road instruction
Last year he took . train through
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois
and other western states. The train
Travelled over $4,000 miles on the trip
built 80 miles of model road, held IS
conventions and addressed 10000
people. The trip was paid for with
$4,000 appropriated by congress fol
the purpose. Following this trip, the
last national convention was held in
Chicago. Thirty-eight states were
represented.
1t was then determined to secure
an appropriation of Sl50,00) and ar
range 4 trip which would result ir a
mile of model road being built in
zach state in the union. At the same
time the convention secured the
drafting of a good roads plank in
the national platforms.
The association failed TO get the
appropriation asked for, but with the
assistance of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson secured 100000, which was
available for the work since July l.
After the failure to get the money
President Moore went to New York
and discussed the plan OF southern
trip with President Stuyvesant Fish
of the Illinois Central. He was EN-
thusiastic over the plan, and at once
offered to provide the train and pay
a large proportion of the incidental
expenses.
The association intends II push
the good roads work. Congress and
each state will be asked to pass leg
islation favorable to road improve
ment. Good roads are conceded to be
the opening wedge for every other
improvement to follow. One idea ad-
vanccd is to work the convicts of a
state on its road construction. Over
200 miles of model road could thus
be built each year. Tramps and va
grants are forced to build roads in
Germany and England.
October 30 IS to be Good Roads day
in every state in the unio". Ha that
day instruction in good road ou''Iing
will be given everywhere, IN schools,
through the press, and, if the day is
on Sunday, the pulpit will be asked to
assist the cause of good roads.
