BRYAN WRITES ON INCOME TAX
NebraSkan Sees VindicatiOn Of Demo-
cratic Platform I'm Recent
Events at Warrington.

LINCOLN, July 10.-Mr. Bryan yester-
day made public the following statement
on the income tax amendment:
The democratic platform Of 1905 con-
tanned the following plank:
we favor ar income tax as part of our
sion OF q constitutional amendment spe-
officially authorizing congress to levy and
collect tax upon individual and corporate
issues to the end that wealth may bear
the federal government"
Mr.. Bryan endorsed this plank and urged
the necessity of a constitutional amend
ment President Taft, In his acceptance
speech. insisted that an amendment was
not necessary. For years the republican
leaders have opposed an income tax and
denounced the democrats for advocating
II. But behold the change. President Taft
sends a message to congress proposing the
submission of an income tax amendment
and II passes the senate by a Unanimous
vote-U yeas, nays none. And It will un-
doubtedly pass the house. Was vindica-
tion ever more complete? Democratic gov
ernors In states having democratic legis-
latures ought to call extra sessions at once
amendment. Income tax clubs ought to
be formed Immediately in every county
nonpartisan clubs to pledge members of
the various county legislatures to vote for
ratification. Now Is the time to act. The
dollar has been enjoying an exemption
denied to man. AS the law is now. the
government In time Of war can take the
husband from the wife, the son from the
mother and the father from his children
and stand them up in front of the enemy's
guns; but II cannot even in an hour OF
peril, compel wealth to bear its share OF
the expenses Of the government. The in
come tax amendment ought TO be ratified
at the earliest possible moment. Let demo-
Gratis get to work In every community and
invite republicans to Join them. Now for
the amendment specifically authorizing an
income tax.

much was made of her years, as if age

More than half the women offenders

however, that the government has

Hlat demands less skill in construc-

There are still many tree houses to

of Papua (where much valuable sugar,

on their regular tours of inspection
often sleep at night in the house of
some hospitable native village con-
stable, who draws his ladder up at
shutdown to a doorstep so feet high in

These tree houses are exceedingly
cool, clean and picturesque. with the
roofs of native made thatch and walls
and floors of waited boughs.
