STATE JUDGES NOT EXEMPT, EITHER
Opinion of the Tax Commission on the Matter
of the Income Tax.

The State Tax Commission yesterday
gave out its opinion in the matter of the
income tax, about which SO much has
been said and written of late.
1t is an exhaustive document, in which
the law of the State is quoted, as arc
decisions rendered in cases bearing upon
the question.
After dwelling upon the Importance
Of the question as to whether the in
comes of Federal office holders are sub
jcct to the tax, both from the standpoint
of the money and principle involved, the
opinion states that the question to be
decided is, whether or not the statute as
passed by the Legislature of 1901 vio-
lates any provision of the Constitution
of the United States.
The position taken by the Commission
is that, While the salary of a Federal
officer due or to become due cannot be
taxed by the State, income from salary
which the officer received during the
twelve months ending June LIST, must
be included in the tax list, and is subject
to taxation by the State.
AS to the Judges of the courts of the
State, the Commission is of opinion that
the levy of an income tax upon all per
sons in the State alike is not diminution
of the salary of the Judge within the
meaning of Art. A. Section Is of the Con
Stitution of North Carolina, which pro
Vides that the salaries of judges shalt
not be diminished during their contin-
uance in office.
The opinion says further: I'm our
case the income tax laws were passed be
fore any of the Judges now in office i'll
the State went into office, and therefore,
the salaries, if diminished at all. were
diminished before they We're judicial Of
! ficers. The Constitution as adopted in
1898 expressly conferred upon the Legis-
Iature the power to tax all incomes, ex-
cept those derived from property taxed

HALF a MILLION MIGHT PERISH.
Should Pelee Blow It's Head Off and Stir Up the
Sea.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Sept. 81 am seriously
alarmed at the news of the renewed &C
tivity of the Martinique and st. Vincent
canoe said Louis H. Ayms, United
States Consul at Guadeloupe. who is in
Chicago on sick leave.
SHOULD Mount Pelee blow its head of
the loss of life consequent upon the pro-
duction of a great tidal wave would be
appalling. With Mount Pelee as a CEN
ter. a chain Of islands extends north
westward, embracing a population OF
some $50, 900 persons.
Almost without exception the cities
and villages are situated along the coasts.
and but slightly elevated above the sea.
A tidal wave forty feet high would prob
ably destroy g half million lives before
it dashed against the shores OF Porto
Rico with it's million inhabitants.
There is also apparently grave dan
ger that other long extinct VOLCANOES may
break out. The great Soufriere of Guade-
loupe has been active for centuries, dis
charging a vast column of sulphur
charged steam from the old summit
/ crater. This may have acted as a sort
of safety valve, but if, as reports seem
to Indicate, the seismic forces are in
creasing in intensity, this volcano and
others along the line of seismic weak
ness marked by the island chain may
soon be rivalling Pelee."
