NOW UP TO The STATES
Income Tax Question Submitted
to the Different Legislatures.
SOUTHERN STATES TO RATIFY
Georgia, Alabama and Texas Desire
Distinction of Being the First to
Ratify Amendment.

Washington, ID. Cit is now UP 70
the legislatures of the several states
to say whether there shall be an in
come tax amendment to the consti-
tuition. BY the decisive vote Of BIT
to IA, more than the necessary two
thirds, the house passed the senate
joint resolution providing for the sub
mission of the question to the states.
1t is the belief of southern sena-
tors and congressman that the states
Of the south will unanimously ratify
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution providing for the level OF an
income tax and that If the measure
fails Of endorsement by the necessary
three-fourths Of the states, 1t will be
by reason of the non-action Of legis.
lature in the north and west.
Members Of the Texas delegation
wired Governor Campbell of that
state, urging him to call the legisla.
ture together for the purpose of rati.
flying Immediately the proposed con-
stitutional amendment.
Representative Hobson of Alabama
has wired Governor Conner suggesting
that when he issues the call for the
forthcoming session of the general as
sembly he specify that ratification of
the income tax amendment be one Of
the objects of legislation.
Both Texas and Alabama desire the
distinction Of being the first state to
ratify the amendment.
Georgia is likely to have the honor
of first ratifying the amendment, for
the reason that the legislature Of that
state is already in session.

Not ENCOURAGING for Prohibition.

Atlanta, MISUNDERSTANDING that
in the state of Georgia "near-beer"
is the nearest approach to the exhil-
arating beverage that citizens OF non
prohibition states are sometimes
wont to partake of, the records Of the
Atlanta police department disclose
that for the first six months of 1909
there were 1875 arrests in this city
for drunkenness. This record is in
excess of that of the first half of last
year 1923 and almost equals the rec
ord for the first six months Of 1907
before prohibition was in force.

"TENDERFOOf" WAS SCARED.
Nine Texans Were Not Killed by the
Mexican Outlaws.

81 Paso, Texas.-A "tenderfoot,"
frightened by fake attack upon the
camp of "a party Of horsemen near
Alton, N. M, was responsible for the
spreading of a tale Of the wholesale
murder of the men by band of IN
dians and Mexicans. Officers who
hurried to the scene reported that the
thing was a hoax. The men, driving
horses overland, had spent Sunday in
camp relating blood-curdling stories
to a stranger within their midst, and
had followed this up at night by
shooting and shouting. The new ar
rival escaped, and gave out the re-
port Of an attack and the murder Of
his companions.

DENIES HE FAVORED
DIVISION OF STATE
Secretary of Realty Board Re-
flutes Accusation

In letter to The Call, Herbert Bur-
dett, secretary of the California state
realty federation and of the Los An
geles realty board, denies that he went
on record as fayoring state division at
a recent mass meeting in Los Angeles.
On the contrary, says Burdett, he is
now and has always been opposed TO
state division or any agitation on the
subject. He did attend the meeting
and acted as one of its secretaries, but
says he voted against the secessionist
resolutions passed by a majority.
AS matter of fact, according TO Bur-
dett. the Los Angeles realty board is
not behind the movement for state d.
vision. and has never considered state
division in any form as remedy for
their complaints against the state board
of equalization.
He declares in effect that the meet
ing in question was taken advantage
of by the South California league. an
organization that had long lain DOR
mant for want of support, to bring in
their bugabo0 and storm the meeting.

On the evening of September %, per-

Twelfth Night will be given by the
students in the assembly hall. In the
last year Stanford has given several
productions under the auspices of the
dramatic clubs and the classes Each
one of these plays has been just bit
better than the one preceding it.
When it was decided to give Twelfth
Night a feeling of disappointment was
experienced by the students. The sem

thing Shakespearean, though few knew
the nature of Twelfth Night

Next Saturday evening any objection
that has been voiced against the play
will be overruled Every effort has
been put forth to make the production
a success Coach Matthew, in whom the
confidence, has done all in his power to
make the play agreeable, and foreign to
the stilted exhibition which some peo-

been expressly painted for the play.

TEETH TROUBLES

The Alveolar Method of restoring
missing teeth without the aid of plates
or ordinary bridge work insures the
man or woman who has this remarka bic

teeth troubles OF any kind.
Think of that
10 more toothache. no more sore
gums. caused by wobbly ill-fittfng par
tial plates, no more torture from those
bridges set in between the teeth, which
are constantly pushing the pier teeth
away when the victim bites on them
without thinking; no more teeth
troubles. From the very day the Alive
olar teeth are put in place and an
chored solid as natures teeth (and just
as good looking and comfortable as
ever the natural teeth were) the pa
tient begins TO use them

The Alveolar Method is entirely diff

is the one great advance in dental sci

Partial plates and the between

The latter are always sore and unsani-

are let alone. Bad teeth or no teeth
breed dyspepsia and other evils, SO

MORE SCHOOL
GAMES TODAY

More excitement today. This time
on the Kamehameha diamond. The
Saints will play the High School and
the Hams will try conclusions with the
Puns. The first game will be called
promptly at 1870.
Never before has there been anything
like the present situation in the Inter
scholastic league. The four schools
have each played two games and have
each won one. There is no cinch for
any one of the teams and the one that
does finally win out will certainly have
to do some tall work to get there.
Oahu College defeated st. Louis easily
last Monday. High School surprised
everybody by very nearly beating the
Hams that same day. Then High
SchC d turns round and beats Oahu in
a very close game on Wednesday. The
following day the Saints hand it to the
Hams.
Now what do you think of that for a
situation? Taking it one way the
High School ought to wallop the Saints,
for they have defeated the Punahous
who wanged it to the Saints. But, on
the other hand, the Saints have beaten
the Hams who beat the High School.
So where are we at? Echo answers,
"What Ho.' In other words there will
be two great games of ball on Kameha-
meha field this afternoon.
