VIEWS OF Mr.. GROSVENOR.
He RefterateS His Endorsement of
the Income Tax.

ATHENS, Ohio, May Representative
c. H Grosvenor says that he has re-
eeived great many letters in regard to
his recent expressions as to an income
tax, the writers seeming to think that it
IS new position taken by him, but ne
asserts that it is not; that he has always
been IN favor Of an income tax; that it is
the faiTeSt tax in the world.
General Governor declares that new
and grave questions in regard to the taxa
ton are coming to the front and must be
met He says America Is ceasing to be a
nation Of importers and points out that,
instead of importing steel and iron, It is
now exporting them and that it viii soon
be producing all the sugar it needs. and
that it must look largely to some other
seurce than the tariff for national taxes.
For this loss he would substitute as a. first
measure the income tax.
General Grosvenor discussed State taxa
tion at some length, pointing out the fact
that when the Constitution was framed
there was scarcely such thing in the
State constitution as a corporation or
franchise and that a great change had
taken place with the growth of these;
that while they had been declared prop
erty and were taxed to some extent as
property they are not taxed to anything
like the extent they should be He wouEl:
support all the State institutions and raise
all strictly State revenues from these
franchises.
He called attention also to the fact that
there is nothing new in this; that Penn
sylvania and several other States now
raise their State revenues in this way.
He pointed out also how the evils of up-
deryaIuatfons as between localities would
disappear when they would have to pay
nothing into the State Treasury and that
the State Board of Equalization for
which. as an institution, he seemed to
have small respect, would be done away
with. He would have local taxes levied
by local bodies and attach as much re-
sponsibility as possible to local taxing
bodies

he was young and for more than forty
years had been pitted against the police.
Although the origin of the gold brick
game is sometimes credited to BIZ Train,
who is said to be responsible for the
death Of Red Leahy in New York, 1t
was Triplet who first made the game a
financial success. The police sav he sold

THE PALISADES GRANT.
Action of the Jersey Legislature
said to Be Illegal.

NEW YORK May because the Leg
islature of New Jersey passed ten years
ago an act by which all the underwater
lands of tn State were irrevocabIy dedi-
Gated to the school fund, it is believed
that the recent Legislatures grant OF
twelve miles of waterfront for purposes
of the Palisades Park may have been IL
legal Another objection raised to this is
that the legislature is specifically for
hidden by tle State constitution 70 make
any gift of public lands whatever.
The line Of waterfront in question is
valued at s.. .200,0G0- It has been asserted
that the movement for the preservation
OF the Palisades is unpopular in the more
remote parts of the State and that legal
action TO restore this waterfront TO the
State viii. therefore, find ready support
in these sections 1t is understood that d
contest viii be made of the Palisades
grant, upon the ground that the LegisIa-
ture's gift was either subterfuge by
which the school fund was depleted or L
violation of the State constitution.

cal Eastnan's senior counsel, Sam
Elder, caused a surprise in yesterdays

from the tendency. of the prosecutions

expected strong opposition to the view
which the defence so suddenly admit

According to this admission, East
mans statements, so far as they refer
to the shooting Of Grogan by the acci-
dental discharge Of the rim-fire pistol
are not correct.
The only course open to Eastman's
lawyers would seem TO be to claim the
police substituted a bullet to fit their
case or to have Eastman go on the
stand and claim the-sEooting was done
in self-defence.
The former course would necessitate
the upsetting of the testimony of the
medical examiner. the Cambridge po-
lice, and lastly the evidence OF Prof.
Wood, the Harvard chemical expert.

taken from Grogan's spine and found

If Eastman goes on the stand, the
Government, through testimony secur-

Consequently, his lawyers viii probab-
