The Sixteenth Amendment

The Constitution of the Unit
ed States was purposely made diff
ficult to amend. Madison, the
Father of the Constitution, was
against innovation and Hamil-
ton feared the turbulent, chan
ging people. So the Constitution
was made Interchangeable except b.
a vote of twO-thirds of Congress,
and three-fOurths of the State
Legislatures or State Conventions.
One-forty-fourth Of the voters to-
day. if prperly placed, can block
any amendment. Of the four
hundred and thirty-five amend
ments proposed from 1889 to 1904
not one was adopted. It is the
belief Of many people that the
Constitution can never be amend
ed.
We, on the other hand, believe
the adoption Of the Sixteenth
Amendment permitting the income
tax, is possible, probable, inevita-
BILE. The resolution was .unani-
mOusly adopted by the Senate,
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1909-10-01

and almost unanimously by the
House. Thirty-five of the forty
six States must ratify, but thir-
ty-five States will be found. The
South is for it.; the west is for
it; the real people of the East
are for it; the two parties have
declared in its favor and Presi-
dent Taft has taken his stand on
it. 1t is more than the mere
question Of an income tax, al
though that is important. 1t is a
question of national sovereignty,
of the right of ninety millions of
people to tax themselves as they
deem just and expedient. 1t is
an issue upon which in times of
danger the national welfare, ev-
en- the national existence, might
depend. The Sixteenth Amend
ment must and will be adopted.
But it will not be adopted by
the people staying at home and
wishing for it. 1t must be made
an issue in every State, in every
assembly district. Time fights
on the side Of the Sixteenth

Amendment; there is no limit.
Once q State adopts it, the rsti-
ficatiOn lasts forever. But if
the ratification is not made the
first session, It may be again pro-
posed for the second, third,
tenth, or ninety-ninth time. If we
do not succeed at first We can
try, try again.
The Sixteenth Amendment
must be ratified, not only to en-
able our Government in times of
peace and war to impose equita-
Bile taxes, but also to place the
fundamental law of the land,
where it should be plsced-in the
hands of an intelligent, tolerant,
and iberty-lOving, people.

oS NANy NbVSh Noi CSf'
q, 1909. The good run of 81
600 cattle here last week, includ-
ing $4,000 calves, was fairly well
disposed of, although the hold Ov-
er at the end of the week was g.
heavier than the number
remaining in the yards at the end
of the previous week. The best
steers held steady during the
week, account of scarcity, top
steers for the week at $8.15, but
medium grade steers declined %
to so cents, andd the cheapest
beef steers lost 5 to Is cents. The
medium class suffered most be-
cause of a big run of rangers
from Montana and Dakota is now
appearing at the Northern mark
cts, a class of cattle similar in
killing qualities to the steers that
sell on our market at $3.50 to So
%, and buyers were accordingly
able to dictate terms to a certain
extent. The good demand here
for StOckerS and feeders offset
this effect somewhat. Cows adj
vanced 10 to Is cents and can
ners sold Is to % higher by the
close of last week, StOckers and
feeders steady. The run today
is 10000 head, market steady to
a shade lower. Channels for the
movement of all classes of cattle
are always wide open on Monday
and practically nothing is quot
ed more than 10. lower today.
The feature today is the strong
demand for grass cows, especial
ly Gamers. No extra good fed
steers are here today, although
some yearlingS made $7.75, the
top for the day. Not as many
good grass steers are coming as
q weeks ago, best at 1915 to &c.
50, medium and light steers 1915
to $3.50, COWS 1915 to 1925, heif-
ers up to $3.50, bulls $3.50 to 3d.
IS. calves 1915 to $3.50, stock
ers 1925 to $4.75, feeders $4.0O
to 1915 In spite of recent Ode
clines in beef cattle, present pri-
ceS are 80 to Is cents above this
period a year ago.
The hog market continues to be
an enigma to dealers, as nobody
seems able to make any reliable
forecast, either as to price pros
poets or future supply. Packers
aver that they are losing money
on every hog they buy, but their
efforts to price are without effect
The run last week was largest
since June, at $4,000 head, but
the market closed at about the
best point of the week. Run to-
day is 5000 head. market weak to
no lower, top $685., bulk of sales
$7S5 to 1925. A sharp distinc-
ton is made between good corn
fed grades, and the slippery kinds
fattened on green corn and for
age.
Sheep and lambs held steady
last week, in the face of the heav-
lest run of the fall, $1,000 head,
but lambs lost 80 to 80 cents. Run
is 1900 today, market steady to
10 lower, top lambs $3.50, year
lings $3.15, wethers $4.S5, ewes
$4.65, feeding lambs $500 to &c.
25, feeding yearlings $50, weth-
ers $40. breeding ewes up to
$4.7O, old ewes 1925. Heavy
runs are expected to keep up.
Country buyers are securing bet
ter selections for their wants than
any time before the season. A
big shipment of breeding ewes,
sold IaSt week at $40, on diff
ferent days.
