amending the constitution so as to per
NIT congress TO levy and collect a tax
on incomes without regard TO apportiol

tors today it was decided that the minor
ity shall stand by their previous declar

income tax law at the present session.
The caucus was we'll attended. and the
opinion was expressed that the admins
tration movement is designed to pre-
vent the income tax amendment from
reaching direct vote
Previous TO the caucus there was
discussion in the Democratic cloak room
of the president S programme. 1t was
suggested that Senator Bailey might
withdraw his amendment until after
Senator Aldrich presents the amend
meut for a tax on the earnings of cor
porations The purpose would be TO
avoid the offering of the president S
plan as a substitute for the income tax
amendment, The Bailey amendment
could then be offered after the corpora
ton tax amendment was before the sen.
ate. and motion 10 table or refer to
committee could displace it,
Thus a direct vote on the amendment,
it was argued could not he prevented.

paper schedule, Mr. Brown frequently
quoted from various authorities TO sus'
tain his contention that wood pulp and

United States with cheaper labor and
cheaper material, resulting in a cheaper
product than can be obtained in Can
ada.
Duty Not Justified.
he asked them how. in view of that
fact, they could Justify duty on these
products for the protection Of labor.
Senator Aldrich and Senator Hale
fatty contradicted these statements in
reference to wages and cost of produc
ton. They insisted that the Mann
committee of the house of representa-
tives from which Mr.. Brown quoted
was lacking in accurate testimony. and
contended that, even accepting that re
port. it could not he maintained that
the United States had an advantage in
the production. This dispute ran along
for two hours.
There was large attendance of Dem

TRUTH AND LIBERTY.
A Few Thoughts Offered on the Work of
Freethought by One who Has Been
In It. -;
(By w. +. Jameson


Fifty years ago this month cf November,
| began the public advocacy of Liberalism,
and this month the Freethinkers will again
organize.
1t sometimes looks TO me that they are
the great unorganizables-they are so in
tensely individualistic. They have enjoy
ed freedom so long outside of all Organiza-
ton that it is almost impossible for them
to cooperate, even for mutual advantage,
or protection of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness.
During this half century of hardships
and successes, have enjoyed existence bet
ter than inside of the most sumptuous and
fashionable church on earth.
In this half century what has been ac-
cOmplished for the freedom Of the human
mind? Much, notwithstanding the disor-
ganized condition of Freethought Science
has been the quiet influence undermining
the superstitions Of by-gone ages. While
Science is not openly antagonistic to Re-
ligiOn. there has ever been ''confict'
between them, until now Religion has
adopted Science as her very own Just as
it is now learning to accept Freethought.
The church will not give up its place in
the world-it will be changed, not in the
"twinkling of an eye", however. 1t has
become more of a social institution than
religious improving day by day.
Toward Christians we should be courte-
Gus, remembering that they are our broth
ers and sisters | could never have con-
verted six clergymen in public debate to
Liberalism if ! had tried to hate people
into our way of thinking. Too many Free
thinkers imagine they are radical when
they are only rabid.
The aim of Freethought organization
should be "Truth and Liberty" Its fun

ed affirmative, not mere negatiOns Of other
peoples alternatives
Something has been said of "leaders"
Gal. FOUR-BLADE fl D(rgOlogym h''
Freethinkers are their own leaders, So
called leaders should be the servants of the
people.
Beware of "Boards" and "Bureaus."
They are autocratic, dictatoria foreign to
the genius Of Freethought. However sue
cessful they may have been in Jewish and
Catholic rule, Russian despotism, political
intrigue, etc., they are untitled for self
governing people.
