young Italian girl, who formerly lived
In Lead.

her, he was SO smitten with her charms
that he proposed marriage ard was
accepted. Voich then lavished p~rerents
Upon her but when the wedding day
appeared, the girl had changed her
mind and declared the promise a Joke.

she had again changed her mind and
that If she had Some good clothes, she
would marry him. Voich sent her on a
pilgrimage of the Spearfish stores and
h selected a large bili Of clothing and.
then went to Lead to ''get her other
things" From that point she suddenly
disappeared and Voich learned that she
had gone to Arizona where he is now
trying to trace her, the states attor-
ney telling him that the county could

Slason Thompson who writes things for certain rail
ways, has published statement that the for the
awful list of railway horrors in 1867 purely and simply
that business good.
The thing has been stated before In the effort
move more traffic than the trackage could accommodate
or the engines haul the railways hurled thousands of
human beings, passengers and employees to death.
They tried to shunt freight trains too long for the sid
ngs and the trains the main es into ends stick
ing out beyond the switches They tried to pull trains
long and too heavy, and they broke in two and wrecked
themselves and other trains They tried make time by
TOO close margalns at passing points, and had collisions
Iney ran trains too close together and slight delay made
dspatchers gray headed and sweed the roster of the
sla1n They worked tranment and keymen long hours
and they went blind and helpless from wearness and sent
trains like great projectles into each other killing saug
terlng manning and sending horror the land.
You see business too good There was too much to
DO This is the dreadful fact 1t is not FOOLS assertion
The railways broke down under their traffic. That
is the actual fact Like any other complicated machine
our railway machine pressed beyond its capacity ceases
to work we'll Pressed little harder and it ceases to work
at all AS it in the worst of the best times-if such
phrase may be usedthe railways had far ceased to
work that the average freight moved but 20 miles
day.
What to prevent the recurrence of all those awful sac
rtlces OF human life of which Thompson speaks?
Have the railways increased their trackage or their
motive power their equipments Not at ALL 1t is cues
tonabe II they have much Of the latter as they
had three ago. When the hard times came and their
cars were idle and their engines in the round houses did
they build engines and double track their lines and
order cars? No.
Why?
Because they trying to keep out of the hands of

No wonder this is the tune these like best They

he looks like any other machnist But they both whistle

raise that much less revenue each

They can be very noisy in showing
how much they want such a law.
Republicans and democrats can
join in voting for this amendment
to the tariff law. The men who
have the final say will be that pow
erful trio, Aldrich, Hale, Penrose.
1t will be up to them as members

support the corporation tax as
against the house amendment TO,
an inheritance tax. Just how Wig
orously Aldrich and Hale will fight
to retain the corporation tax in the
bill may be left to the imagination
of the reader. When the confer
ence is over they will emerge and
say that this was one of the CON
cessions in the interest of har-
mony" which they were obliged to
make, and they will doubtless
point with pride to the joint reso-
luton in favor of the constitu-
tional amendment which still re-
mains part of the law, as an in
dication of their fidelity to the
principle of an income tax.
1t is very much like that pleas
ant game with the three shells and
the one small pea. You think it's
under this shell. and if you want to
lay a bet with Aldrich he is ready
to take your money.
And 1t isn't there.

NICE LITTLE GAME Of THREE
SHELLS AND AN INCOME TAX
Here's the Program by Which Congress Will Put to Sleep
Both the Income Tax and the Much Wanted Cor
poration Tax

There are two great forces
which are arrayed against the con-
stitutional amendment for taxing
incomes. They are:
l. The opposition of people who
live on the proceeds of invested
wealth.
2. The opposition of the favored
class of manufacturers who profit
by the tariff system.
Geographically considered, the
east is against an income tax,
whether in the form of the present
law or a future constitutional pos
sibility. There are more people in
the New England states living on
the interest of invested wealth
than in any other section of the
country. There are enough people
in states like New York, Massa-
chusetts and the other surrounding
group whose incomes are so de-
rived to dominate the legislatures
Of their states and make those leg
islatures unwilling to ratify the
proposed amendment to the consti-
tuition.
Working along the same lines
will be the manufacturers who en-
joy the benefits of a protective tar
iff system. The plan for raising
revenue by a direct tax on incomes
is regarded by such manufacturers
as menace to the general pro-
tective scheme. The more revenue
that is raised by direct taxation
the less revenue will be needed to
be raised through customs house
taxation. If $50,OO0,OO0 year is
permanently added to the income
of the United States by a tax on
incomes, it will be necessary to

WASHINGTON, July lit is
much better than even betting that
the following will be the program
on the proposed income tax:
l. A joint resolution for an in
come tax amendment to the constr
tuition will go through the senate
and house without serious opposi-
ton.
2. The administrations amend
ment for a tax on corporation divI-
dends will pass the senate, after an
acrimonious debate and consider
able maneuvering for political posi-
ton.
3. The corporation tax amend
ment will be knitted in the confer
ence room by Senators Aldrich,
Hale, Penrose, ct al, representing
New England and in general the
opposition of the capjtalistic class.
4. The constitutional amendment
will be killed by the refusal of IL
states to ratify.
Such is the program. 1t SOUNDS
rather complex, but it is after all
quite simple. 1t is one way to de-
feat the passage of an income tax
after Aldrich has discovered that
there are a majority of three votes
In the senate in favor of such an
amendment to the tariff act. The
three votes favored an amendment
drawn along the lines of Taft's rec.
ommendation in his letter of &C.
ceptance, when he said that a con-
stitutional amendment was, in his
Judgment, unnecessary, and when
he urged that the question be re-
submitted to the supreme court.
