adopted a unanimous vote the resol
ton providing for an amendment that
will specifically empower congress to
levy and collect an income tax as part
of the revenue system of the national
government. The resolution will now
go to the house. where there is little
doubt hat the necessary two-thirds
vote a be obtained to pass II.
When this is done the secretary of

Bailey's amendment to submit the am
endment to state conventions instead
of legislatures. AS there are ~forty-six

fed at any step that may be aiken to
bring this just OF taxation
nearer to a practical realization. At
the sane time the senate resolution
sheds a curious light upon the po1ti-
cal disorganization of both parties.
So far as the income tax was an IS
sue in the presidential campaign, 1t
was the democrats who advocated the
uncertain processes of a constitution
al amendment and the republicans
who maintained that a valid law could
be enacted in spite of b decision of
che United States supreme court.
The democratic national platform
declared that
We W an income tax as part of

to levy and coliect tax upon fndivid-

ADDITIONAL JUDGES.

The bill to increase the Supreme
Court banque by two additional
judges ought to meet with general
satisfaction all over Oregon.
There has not been time in the
past Is years when this increase
would not have been a boon to the
State and to the men charged with
the immense tasks provided for this
department. There are not, in all
Oregon, three men Of law who have
given better or ampler service than
they who dignity that bench and we
hope the bill will pass with all expedi-
ton. Only once in that time has the
docket Of that court been within pos
sible range Of cleanup, and then
the access grew upon it again and the
relief is more essential now than ever.
As to the appointments in this be
half, the governor may be trusted to
make them promptly enough, and Of
a calibre compatible with the distinc-
ton and the service.

CALIFORNIA PAUSES.

California lawmakers have come to
a pause to their anti-Japanese crusade
in Difference to the Presidents wishes
and to wait for his letter which will,
beyond all doubt, justify not only his
insistance, but the Legislatures con-
cession.
These pauses in the progress Of agi-
tated debate over grave questions are
frequently the saving grace that fore
fends trouble and discredit, and we
believe it will turn out that way in
this instance. California cannot af-
ford to blunder any more than the
National Government can; and while
it may have issues Of its own to settle
and desirable ends TO gain, it were
better to give them the advantage Of
the broader guise of national auspices
and warrant than to assume a front

SCUBA LIBRE."

At high noon yesterday Cuba took
over the pregnant honors and condi-
tons Of free and Independent nation,
with its own President, Congress and
administrative status and staff gener-
ally, and is launched among the ma
tions under the wing and credence of
this country. She has been lifted up
from the PROSTATE, servile and hope
less inertia engraited upon her by
Spain, to the fresh and wholesome
activity and appreciation OF live
state with splendid future and goes
forth upon her course with the good
will OF all mankind. Uncle Sam is
proud OF his progeny and will back
that pride to the limit if it becomes
necessary. Cuba of 1909 and Cuba of
1899 are two distinct countries, and
no one knows it better than the peo-
pie who have profted by the transit
ton. May good luck go with the
pearl of the Antilles" and may she
so direct her energies and her poll
cies as to win great place in the an
