Des Moines Uowa) Register and
Leader: 1t is a strange situation.
surely, when a fight to retain the
Dingley schedules can be heralded as
a fight for free trade and foreign DOM
nation. 1t is a strange situation when
the president, after making the de-
mand for a reduction of the Dingley
schedules, will sit back and allow the
senate committee increases to be voted
by as bloodless combination as ever
pooled to steal railroad or loot a
bank, without raising a finger to sus
tain the men who are standing by his
personal pledges and by the pledges
made by him for the administration
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-06-21

The Tribune, owned and published
by the Cedar Rapids Qowa) Fedora
Ftion of Labor, and which is also the
official organ of the Iowa State FEEDER
alton of Labor, gives unqualified en-
dorsement to the commission plan of
city government in force in Cedar
Rapids. In its latest issue more than
half its editorial space is occupied
with commendatory comment on the
commission as contrasted with local
government by a large city council
elected by wards. The advantage upon
ing in the cost of public improvements.
Following is a sample paragraph
"Once more the merits of the com
mission plan have been proven. No. l
paving block at S1.49 alone is suffi-
cient answer TO the rawlings of such
irresponsible critics as the editor OF
the Pessimist. Add to this the saving
on the Sixth avenue bridge and the
verdict is thousand to one in favor
of business administration of city
affairs VS.. the ancient and political
system of inefficiency and graft that
| has gone before
There is no question that the Trib
une voices the opinion of organized
labor on the subject it discusses. Its
| associate editor is A. l.. Urick presi
| dent of the Iowa State Federation Of
Labor, and ]. H. Strict, secretary-treas
urer of the same organization, is its
staff correspondent. What it says il
favor of the commission plan should

Muffs We're invented for the use Of
man. At least so the legend goes. 1t
seems a classic shade found the air of
the world so beastly cold when he re-
assembled to earth after his death that
his hands were almost frozen.
Consequently 1t was decreed that the
slayer of the poor young gentleman
should kill enough subsequently,
sables were appreciated even In those
early days-to make covering for the
frosted fingers. He did 1t, and that
| was the origin of the muff.
Even If one is not prepared to ac-
cept this account of the first muff as
authoritative there is one thing that is
certain. 1t is only In very modern
times that muffs have been the exclu-
sive property Of women. Up to the
! third quarter of the eighteenth CEN
| fury men were quite as addicted to
| them as women were.

pensite cost f7, very big sum in
those days. and is described as being

At the time Of Charles I and Charles
II. there was curious fashion of dou
BILE muffs, a small one for each hand
something like a big loose cuff. The
single or ordinary muffs carried by the
English ladies Of Hollars etchings are
Of medium size and made entirely OF
smooth fur arranged, as n rule, witt
the hair running round the muff.
At the extreme end of the century
after the advent Of William Of Grange
mems muffs were still small and were
generally suspended from a ribbon
round the neck, but in 1903 1t seems tt
have been more usual to loop the muf1
to q coat button. There is a widely
prevalent idea, think, that masculine
muff swearers invariably belonged t

Taft Then and Now.

In urging congress to submit con-
stitutionaf amendment to the states,
authorizing an income tax, Mr.. Taft
places himself on the platform of the
democratic party, which in ,conven-
ton at Denver adopted the following
plank, understood to be drawn by
Mr.. Bryan:
1--WE favor an income tax as part of
our revenue system, and we urge the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment specifically authorizing congress
to levy and collect a tax upon individ-
ual and corporate incomes, to the end
that wealth may bear its proportionate
share of the burdens of the federal
government"
The republican convention made no
reference to the subject. Mr.. Taft in
his speech Of-acceptance said:
'The democratic platform demands
two constitutional amendments = on
for providing for an income tax and
the other for the election of senators
by the people. In my Judgment an
amendment to the constitution for an
income tax is not necessary. | believe
that an income tax, when the protec
| tive system of customs and the inter
nal revenue tax shall not furnish
| enough for governmental needs, can
| and should be devised which under
| the decision of the supreme court will
| conform to the constitution
Evidently Mr. Taft has changed his
views, and quite radically, too. Never
| theless he is on solid ground except
| that an amendment to the constitution
to permit the collection of an income
tax is a too long drawn out process
Mr.. Taft is on record as saying lit is
| not free from doubt how the supreme
court with its changed membership
would view a new income tax law un
der the changed conditions" He
should stick to his text, urge ngress
to enact an income tax law and put il
up to the supreme court
