INCOME
TAX AGAIN

Washington, July 1.-The corpora
tion tax defeating the income tax was
again the subject of discussion in the
senate today. Borah, of Idano, was
speaking. when McCunaber, who dis
avowed any sympathy with the re-
marks of Aldrich in regard to his reas-
on for supporting the corporation tax.
declared Aldrich spoke for himself
and not for the members of the finance
committee generally.
Borah- said he would prove conclu-
sively chat the corporation tax meas
lre had its inception in the desire to
defeat the income tax measure. He de-
clared the two would die together
when they had served their purpose.
He read extracts from the speech of
Senator Lodge in 1898. in strong op-
position to a corporation tax proposed
by the Democratic minority.

cities in the world.
II is not yet possible to determine
the number OF casualties but some of
the reports are alarming. but they
cannot be verified. The population fed

FATE sHuFFLEs THE BIG PACK.

When Oscar Hammerstein called up
on Suzanne Dumesnil famous French
soprano, and offered her a large SAL
AIRY to sing in New York, the woman
impulsively exclaimed, Leave my
dear Paris? No! Mo- 1t will nevaire
be. Why should leave my Alphonse,
who loves me; my cat that / adore,
and my good warm little stove? Your
offer has no attraction for me.
That was the singers way OF saying
that there are better things in life than
glittering gold and ringing fame. Why,
indeed. should woman, even if She
is great artist, barter for such tri-
fIes as dollars By the thousand and
press clippings by the bushel, such
real luxuries as steady beau, soft
prrring cat and nice, cozy little char
coal stove?
Mr. Hammerstein quickly withdrew.
He is practical man, is Mr. Hammer
stein, but beneath his tesselated shirt
front there beats warm and tender
heart He did not insist upon his yuI-
gar offer but left Suzanne serene in her
soft nest.
That was three months ago. Three
little months and now behold Suzanne
in New York, nightly thrilling vast
audiences in Mr.. Hammerstein's tenn
pie Of music. she sings diyinely, does
Suzanne. But, if one will listen at
tentiyely he may detect in her piping
melody note of Sadness tone
which comes from the soul rather than
the stupid thorax.
Where is Alphonse? Where is kit
ty? Where, oh, where is little char
coal sunbeam2 All are gone, Alas,
the heavy hand of the changing world
did not spare Suzanne; tbs a hand
which shuffles the pack for us all.
Three weeks ago. according to Mr.
Hammersteins honest young press
agent, the following cablegram was re-
ceived:
Oscar Hammerstein, New York: !

Is dead. and the stove has gone out.

QUAKER MEDITATION.

A white lie is sometimes blacker
than it is painted.
The practice of shooting folly as ii
flies is not regulated by the game
laws.
You can seldom see the right side
Of a man by looking on the outside.
The man who does the most crow
ing when he is right is generally
wrong.
II we could all profit by the mis-
takes of others. lots of men would
never marry.
You can. always tell when resort
is considered healthy. 1t is always
full OF invalids.
TO be successful a man must be
careful how he expresses himself If
he wants to get there.
Instead of adopting a profession
the average young man would rather
have profession adopt him.
When some people cast their bread
or the water they expect it to come
back to them in the form of ham
handwich.

Big Pasture Settlers
To Ask For Extension

Lawton, Okla, Nov Planning a
whirlwind campaign to arouse general
interest in the movement to secure a
five-year extension in remaining pay
ments on Big Pasture lands, the Big
Pasture Settlers Association, compos-
ed of those who have not proved up on
claims, has issued a call for five meet
ings, to be held before congress con-
venes. from which delegations will be
sent to Washington to work for the
time extension. Indian Commissioner
Valentine, il is understood, gave the
settlers encouragement when he was
here and both Senator Gore and Rep
resentative Ferris have agreed to
support the measure. Nine hundred Of
the $500 settlers have not made final
proof, and. owing to bad crops, many
OF those who have done so have been
forced to mortgage their farms to make
payments.
