of either house of the general assembly of
any State to count that Commonwealth as
opposed to the proposition.
AS at present constituted. there is said
to be little doubt that twelve States can
be lined up against the amendment :
but if Arizona and New Mexico should be
admitted as States it would require the
dissent of thirteen States to defeat the
amendment The admission of those Ter
ritories as States at the present session
would render it far more difficult to defeat
the amendment and if two-thirds of Con-
gress-of both houses-are earnestly in
favor of the income tax amendment, they
can make it doubly manifest by creating
those two new States in time to give them
a vote on the proposition.

TIE SENATE MAKES HEADWAY.

President Taft's corporation tax amend
ment to the tariff bill was adopted by the
United States Senate on Friday last by a
vote of so toll. OF the negative votes. eight
were cast by Republicans and three by
Democrats. An attempt to substitute Mr.
Bailey's income tax amendment for the
corporation tax amendment was defeated
by vote of as to 81.
On Monday last the Senate. by unani-
nous vote, approved the amendment max
ins an income tax constitutional after it
shall have been duly ratified by three
fourths of the States. In case this amend
ment is SO ratified. Congress will have
power to levy an income tax directly upon
the citizen. without regard to population
or residence. There is no doubt that the
proposition meets the approval of very
large majority of the American electorate,
but under our federal system twelve of the
fOrty-six States. even though they be the
smallest, may defeat the thing, and the
opposition has but to secure 3 majority

PUTTING ON THE SCREWS

The Aldrich provision as to the maximum
and minimum rates was adopted on Sat-
urday, with only four Republican votes
against it. 1t gives to the President the
right, and makes it his duty, after March
81 of next year, to add a duty of rs per
cent. to any duties on imported articles,
except tea and coffee, when he is convinced
that the countries from which the goods
are imported impose on goods from this
country any sort of discriminating" pro-
visions-that is, when any country. on any
single article Of trade, receives for any
reason better terms than are granted to us.
The increase thus placed in the discretion
of the President is three times as great as
that provided in the House bill, the rs
per cent. being calculated, not on the gen.
eral duty, but on the value of the goods
imported.
Obviously this is not measure intended
to induce trade, but, if possible, to enforce
it. 1t presents to our possible customers
not an olive branch, but club. So far as
our own consumers are concerned, it is a
trick to procure prohibitory duties wherever
opportunity offers in the interest of the
monopOlistic trusts. 1t is intended as one
more burden on foreign commerce to be
borne by the American people. burden
that may be laid at any moment, without
serious warning, with necessarily disturb
ing and possibly ruinous force. The mer-
chant, for example, who is doing fairly
paying business in imported crockery car
rying duty Of so per cent, may find the
cost of his goods increased by rs per cent
and all possible profits wiped out because

or, for that matter, by the President, though
