Income Tax Fight Pends.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. ia few days
OF observation in New England is con-
vlnclng to anyone directing attention
to the subject that the fight to pre-
vent ratification of the income tax
amendment to the constitution will be
an energetic affair. 1t behooves the
masses of the people who believe in an
income tax and who are looking to the
state legislatures to remove all con-
stitutlonal obstacles to its establish
ment as part of the governments
economic system, to take stock of the
eastern attitude.
The income tax now threatens to OBJ
struct statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona, and the fact that it is being
involved with the latter question
shows clearly how deeply concerned in
their opposition are the powerful east
ern Influences. An allusion by Presi-
dent Taft yesterday to the fact that
the last republican national platform
pledged separate statehood for the ter
ritories, coupled with the executive in
timation that he intended to exert his
influence to have that pledge kept has
aroused bigger fright in Boston than
any since it was feared the Spanish
war fleet was going to swoop down
and blow that seat of culture off the
map.
Some statesmen who represent New
England constituencies. at Washington
met yesterday in the lobby of hotel
In Boston, which is a half hours ride
from the summer capital and showed
excitement over the reported attitude
of the president as to statehood And
what there was about it that worried
them was just this: The adnis-
sion of two new states might have an
important bearing on the adoption OF
the proposed income tax amendment
New Mexico and Arizona probably
would vote in favor of the amendment
it was declared to be the best of rea-
sons why statehood should be denied.
AS the Union stands at present
twelve states acting adversely can pre-
vent ratification of the income tax
amendment. With two states added to
the union twelve states no longer could
accomplish that prevention.
The influences that have set to worl,
to oppose ratification have figured out
their plan of campaign already and
have figured close. Beyond doubt they
have canvassed the possibilities of con-
trolling legislatures outside of New
England and eastern states, where
strong public sentiment will not have
to be overcome to start with. The re-
cent action of the Georgia legislature
in putting aside the question of rati-
fication is one straw showing which
wav tha wind is hlowinp

ing Return to Normal Conditions.
New York, Aug, 13.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say: Bank exchanges
continue to exhibit satisfactory gains,
the total for all the leading cities
amounting to $2,697. .145, 900, gain of
LIS per cent over the same week last
years, and 1875 over the corresponding
week in 1906. At only three cities, st.
Louis. louisville, and San Francisco,
are there losses compared with last
year, and these are quite Insignificant.
Taken as a whole, the returns afford
gratifying testimony to the practically
complete return to the normal condi-
tions.
Dispatches to Dun's Review indicate
that demand steadily broadens in all
lines of trade, with orders for fall
goods larger than last year. Manu-
featuring plants increase their active
capacity. and scarcity of labor is noted
at some industrial centers.
