Senator Borah of Idaho concluded his
speech in favor of an income tax. Much
Of hisNargument was based upon Incidents
of the constitutional convention and
tended to prove that q direct tax within
the meaning Of the Constitution applied
only to the captation tax and the tax
upon real estate and it's Improvements.
Senator Sutherland Of Utah and Sena-
tor Rayner of Maryland frequently in
terruptad Mr.. Borah.
Senator Sutherland asked Mr.. Borah
whether tax on buildings Of twelve
stories and over would be q direct
tax. They are improvements on real
estate said he.
III the buildings were part Of the real
jects Of direct TAXATION replied Mr..
Borah, but l do not believe the trainers
Of the Constitution regarded such things
as practical subjects for direct taxation.
Mr.. Borah intimated that he thou ght Mr..
Sutherland's question absurd. Suppose
l assume that there Is railroad to the
moon and ask the Senator from Utah how
quired MIR. Borah.
After the mrth subsidized Senator
Sutherland propounded an easier hypo-
thetical question. suppose Congress
should levy tax on buildings worth
IS. 900 900 and over. That Is tax which
could not fairly be levied on a basis OF
apportionment Of population. But the
Senator from Idaho desires to compel
the wealth OF the country to pay the taxes.
Would the tax have suggested be direct
tax within the meaning OF the Constitu-
| tion?'

sition was preposterous because mani

For Beginners with Bees.

A few suggestions may be helpful to
the beginner in bee keeping and enable
him to make his first years work a
marked success.
l. Shade your hives, if possible with
trees carrying heavy foliage. Swarms
should be shaded from nine a. m. to five
p. m. during the hottest season of the
year.
2. Get super of honey from the hive
wintered over by putting super con-
tanning sections with full sheets of foun-
dation or a super containing extracting
frames ON the hive as soon as there is
good working force.
3. When the swarm issues remove the
super from the old and place it upon the
new stand. Your new swan will not
leave their hive and will be quite likely
to continue working in the super.
4. Arrange a wind break to prevent
loaded bees from being dashed against
the hive fronts by the prevailing strong
winds.
5. Provide supports for the hives
which will lift them foot or more from
the ground. Ants and insect eating ami
hIoIo may SlVC lIOuOlG Ill CIl0 Hives are Oh
the ground.
6. Get your extra hives and supers
set up for use several weeks before any
swarms are expected or the honey flow
may be half over before you are ready to
take care of it.
I: Keep all comb honey in moth proof
cases and examine frequently.
s. Set the hive with the front of the
bottom board a half-inch lower than the
back, but it should be level sidewise or
combs will be built at an angle with the
frames or sections.
9. Do not attempt to handle bees on
cold damp days but while they are work
ing in the field.
TO- If bees are found hanging in chains
in a super do not smoke them down,
thinking they are idlers, for they are
probably secreting wax.
IL. Prevent much swarming by remov-
ing extra queen cells and by giving plenty
of space at the bottom. Strong swarms
produce surplus honey.
IL. Grow with your business by read
ing bee journal, bee book, or both.
