Mr., spry asked unanimous consent
to have senate bill No ia recalled

On account Of a lack Of a two-third's

other feature OF the transaction is this:
People may be honest and yet object to

bill. Even II the measure Is proper
there Is no equity in taxing incomes
OF equal amount, whether the income
In one instance supports one person or
ten in another. If such u measure is
TO be considered at all no incomes OF
less than S2,4O0 per year should be tax
ed. When the federal law was being
considered the minimum amount was
fixed at $4,000. The minimum Of 1900
is simply ridiculous.
r. q. Webber-An income tax In theo-

IN the face Of our present heavy taxa

would be an outrage.

Having here growing state we should
be very careful how we burden our
wage-earners and homeseekers with
taxes. Enormous armies and nayies
in foreign countries might require the
imposition Of such tax, but the needs
OF this country, and especially this
state, have not come 10 such a point
as 20 make such heavy taxes and upon
such small incomes, a necessity. Here
tof0re the citizens have been very lib
eral in support Of the public schools
and have gladly acquiesced in increases
OF levles for that purpose; but the
necessity for the added application Of
this proposed income tax is not now
apparent to me.

The wreck occurred on the top OF
steep embankment and the train
plunged down this. The locomotive went
within 30 feet of the Tennessee river.
-Four Of the coaches were telescoped and
partially piled up on the engine. Three
coaches were burned outright. The Gin
cinnati was travelling behind the Ill
fated train, having to come by way Of
Knoxville on account OF damage to
tracks Of the Cincinnati Southern be-
tween Chattanooga and Hartman last
night, The engine of the Cincinnati
Southern train ran up to the scene Of
the wreck and by pulling two OF the
rear sleepers back on the track and
away from the wreckage succeeded In
saving them from destruction by fire.
