ITALIANS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
Chicago Editor Rouses Enthusiasm at
Meeting for Taft on Sunday


The Italians are in line for Taft and
they expressed themselves in no uncer-
tain terms when they turned out to
the number of more than three hundred
on Sunday afternoon to attend a rally
held at Carpenters Hall. Before the
meeting there was a parade headed by
the italian band in which many men
were in line. The principle speaker
for the afternoon was the Hon. SilIio
Picchianti, Editor in Chief of La Pa
tria, the great Chicago Daily italian
paper. The speaker told the voters of
Kenosha what the Republican party
had done in the past and declared that
they should support the Republican
nominees if they expected the prosper
GUS conditions to continue during the
coming four years. The speaker was
applauded to the echo by the large
crowd and the meeting was one of the
most enthusiastic held in Kenosha this
campaign. County Chairman I3aker
presided at the meeting.

for shelter for the night. He was re-
leased without hearing in the morn
ing and came to Kenosha on the first
car out of Waukegan.

zAn the furniture and drapings for
the new Elk Club house have arrived
and are at the Dilley furniture store.
They will be moved in as fast as the
completion of the building will, per

rooms, will be furnished tomorrow.
Work on the foo of the first story
prevents moving in until a few days
later. The officers of the lodge hope
to be in the building by the first of
next week, and to hold their next reg
ular meeting there. Plans T under

FOR AN INCOME TAX LAW
Washington, d. c., Dec. 14.-There
will be ne occasion for overwhelming
surprise If the next few years finds
the Republican party advocating a
tax on incomes. One thing Is certain,
the Republican party cannot remain
In power and allow the Treasury def.
cit to continue to pile up. The deficit
OF today is only q matter OF q hundred
millions, not q serious matter to q
government with the resources of the
United States. But 1t win become ser.
fous II the outgo continues to exceed
the income. It doe not appear that
there Is any possibility Of cutting
down the outgo. On the contrary, It
seems destined to increase. This leav-
es but one alternative. to get more
money into the Treasury.
There are those who stake e
hopes on the proposed revision OF the
tariff. They believe q. lowering Of the
tariK schedules win Increase :mporta-
ton and. consequently. Increase cns
toms receipts. But III vsow =

Or the principle of n income tax but
to believe such a law could be draft
ed which would stand the test of a
Supreme Court review.
The Supreme Court once, by a ma
jority of one having declared an in
come tax law unconstitutional, advo-
Gates of that plan of taxation have as
sumed that a constitutional amend
ment would be necessary before such
a system could become operative. But
the views of Judge Taft on a matter
of constitutional law are certainly en-
titled to respectful consideration.
And if he will, as President, advocate
an income tax and show Congress the
way to it's achievement, this theory
of taxation will at once be vitalized
with life.

There has been some talk of placing
a tariff tax of five cents a pound on
coffee. AS approximately eight hund-
red million pounds of coffee are i'm
ported annually, this would mean an
annual increase of e of $40, 900

coffee importers now make a profit
OF anywhere from 100 to 300 per cent.
and insist that a tax OF five cents per
pound would not increase the price of
coffee to consumers. This is a pleas.
ing argument, but not a convincing
one. # the coffee importers are able
now to maintain prices which give
them a profit of from 100 to 100 per
