Court is Affirmed.

Hawairs income tax was sustained by
the United States circuit court Of appeals

be impossible to raise an adequate revenue
by any system Of land taxation. 30 the In
come tax levied Ii Of vital Importance to
the territorial government.
The island income tax was contested by
many taxpayers. It was alleged that the
income tax was discrimination tending to
compel citizens to incriminate themselves.

But the court Of appeals says it sees no
discrimination. The court says Of the in
come tax:
cit places the burden Of taxation upon
the points Of strongest resistance, where 1t
Is easiest borne"
The dismissal Of the case by the supreme

RACE WAR MAY
FOLLOW FLOCCING
Dreadful Condition of Affairs
in a Missouri
Town.

FAYETTE, Mo-, Feb. "a race
war is threatened here as the result
Of the public whipping of three ne
groes on the court house steps Friday
night. A committee Of the Law and
Order league took three negroes from
their homes and whipped them pub
licly for alleged misconduct. Two of
them were women. Since then the ne
groes and white people have been at
swords point, and it is said twenty
five negro families have been fright
ened into leaving this vicinity.
The recent killing of Harry O'Don-
nell, a reputable citizen, was charged
to negroes and did much to stir up
enmity. The whites have openly
threatened to battle with the negroes
and drive them from Fayette and
vicinity.
The negro man who was whipped
Friday night made a desperate re-
sistance. 1t took several men to carry
him to the whipping post. He cursed
his captors as the lash was applied,
which resulted in the whip being
welded only the more vigorously.
When the ordeal was ended the negro
was so weak from loss of blood that
he was put to bed instead of being
driven from town. The women, who
were not whipped severely, were TAX
en- to the outskirts and told to go.

IMPROVING RURAL
MAIL SERVICE
Letters and Parcels Left in
Mail Boxes May Be
Registered.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden has issued a manual of in
structions for the conduct of registry
business in the rural free delivery
service. The most important innova-
ton provides for the registration of
letters and parcels left in the rural
mail boxes, the carriers leaving the
sender's receipt in the box. Formerly
it was necessary for the sender to
meet the carrier on the route.
Rural carriers also are required to
accept for registration mail matter
properly prepared and offered by any
one that meets him while on duty,
whether patron of the rural free
delivery service or not.
Storekeepers on rural routes CUSTOM
arily receive the mail matter of their
patrons, delivering it to them at the
first opportunity Registered mail has
not been delivered in this manner in
the past, but it is now provided that
on the written order which the adj
dresses are required to leave for the
delivery of their mail to the store
keeper, registered mail also will be de-
1vered, except such as is Endorsed bv
the senders deliver to address only"
