REPRESENTATIVES
have NEAR FIGHT
Byrd Removes Coat and Starts
For Colleague.

Washington, March 27.-The mo-
notony of the tariff debate in the
house was relieved for time by a
clash between Messrs. Fordney of
Michigan and Byrd of Mississippi,
which came near ending in blows.
Mr.. Fordney had been making an
exhaustive discussion of the lumber
schedule. when he was interrupted by
the Mississippian. who insisted that
the lumber manufacturers, of which
Mr.. Fordney was one. were in a trust
Mr.. Fordney peremptorily denied the
statement, and said that Mr. Byrd
didn't know a damn thing about it."
The Mississippi member made a
move toward Mr.. Fordney and was in
the act of removing his coat when
some Of his Democratic colleagues
took hold of him. Later it developed
that. the incident grew out OF a misun-
Outstanding, and both men made the
usual explanations and apologies.
MI. Fordney made a notable speech
on the subject of lumber and pleaded
for better protection on that product
in the rough. Dramatically opposed
to him was Mr. Rowland of Ohio, who
wanted the product placed ON the free
list.
Others who spoke were Messrs.
Pou of North Carolina and Macon of
Arkansas, both of whom arraigned
the Payne bill for not accomplishing
what it was claimed it would do,
while Mr.. Humphrey of Washington
pleaded for tariff on shingles and
lumber sufficiently high to enable the
lumber and shingIe manufacturers of
his state to compete with those Of
British Columbia employing cheap
oriental labor.

Both Phones No. 81.
SATURDAY, MARCH, ~, 1909.


The National Government main
tains in different sections of the
country fish hatcheries. The purpose
is to supply the streams of the coun-
try with stock for breeding pur-
poses, in order that people for the
present and for future generations
may not only have fish for sport, but
also for food.
We have no statistics at hand to
show the amount of fish consumed
for food, but it is certainly enormous.
The propagation of fish is matter
in which every citizen has an inter-
est.
The wanton destruction of fish is
just as much crime as would be the
useless killing of sheep, hogs, or any
other food product.
Our Legislatures have wisely pro-
vided stringent laws for the protec-
ton of fish and game, but law is of
no value unless it is enforced and
the laws have not been enforced be-
cause of the difficulty in procuring ev-
idence.
We heartily commend the action of
the Clark County Fish and Game
Club in its efforts to bring vioIators
of the law to justice.
The liberal reward offered in our
advertising columns will certainly
bring results.

The IKC0ME-TAx LAW.

The expediency of an income tax
as means of raising revenue is OBJ
vious to Mr.. Taft, and Attorney-G Gen
eral Wickersham has prepared the
draft of bill. To the adoption of
an inheritance tax at the present time
the President is unequivocally COM
mitted.
In a speech made at Columbus, c.,
Aug. 10, 1907, when he was Secretary
of War, Mr.. Taft said: 81 believe a
Federal graduated inheritance tax to
be useful means of raising Govern
ment funds. 1t is easily and certain
ly collected. The incidence of taxa
ton is heaviest on those best able to
stand it, and indirectly, while not
placing undue restriction on individ-
ual effort, it would moderate the en-
thusiasm for the amassing of. i'm
mense fortunes"
s1p times of great national need
he added, Gan income tax would be of
great assistance in furnishing means
to carry on the Government, aud il
is not free from doubt how the Su-
preme Court with changed member
ship would view a new income tax
law under such conditions. The court
was nearly evenly divided in the last
case, and during the civil wax great
sums were collected by an income tax
without judicial interference, and it
wes then supposed within the Federal
power"

OPERA HOUSE
The Cry Baby"

The story of the boy who ran away
from home at the age of twelve and
joined a circus, later become a man
of influence and success, achieved by
reason Of his contact with the world
is known to all, yet it is doubtful
iif but one out of a thousand ever
encounters a single living example of
the story, but which is true, however,
in practically every detail of Carlton
Guy, the popular young actor who
appears at the opera house next Mon
day night in the big comedy drama
success, "The Cry Baby"
Though one of the youngest stars
on the American stage, Mr.. Guy has
lived a life time of hard experience
and his position today bespeaks of
his profit thereby. When twelve
years Of age he ran away from his
home to join a circus that had played
there a short time before. He carried
water for the elephants and did other
odd jobs to earn his board so that he
would be permitted to remain with
"the big show" III
After being out some weeks the
manager of a troupe of acrobats with
the circus took him in hanas and
started to make tumbler of him.
At the end of the season the boy, who
had proved an apt pupil, got a job
in a theatre in the city where the cir
Gus closed. After the first perfor-
nance he made up his mind to become
an actor and said sgoodby to circus
life. -s o. o~
Several years elapsed before he
was given opportunity to join a show,
as he was too young to be of any
actual use. Whenehe did get the OPP
portunity, however, he. "made good"
from the start, and at the end of ten
years he returned to his home town
at the head of the famous Guy Stock
Company of which he was the sole
owner and which he still controls.
In "TheA Cry Baby Mr.. Guy has a
role which suits him to- perfection. He
is surrounded by a strong company
and no expense has been spared in
making the piece one of the best pro-
auctions of the year.

The income-tax decision of the
United States Supreme Court to
which Mr.. Taft referred was render
ed April 8, 1895. The court held
unanimously that.taxatipn Of incomes
from State and municipal bonds was
unconstitutional.
On the question of the taxation Of
rents the court divided 8 to z. 'hief
Justice Fuller;sJus6ces Field, Gray,
Brewer, Brown and Shiras stood
against the law, on the ground that
"laxes on real estate belong to the
class, of direct taxes, and that the
taxes on the rent or income Of zeal
estate, which is the incident OF its
ownership, belong to the same class"
Justices Harlan and White favored
affirming the law.
On the general question OF the con-
stitutionality of the lay the eight
Justices who sat in the case Justice
Jackson being absent on account of
i'll health-divided equally. There
fore Chief Justice Fuller announced
that on each of these three questions
argued at the bar the court express
Ell no opinion:
First-Whether the said provisions
as to rent and income from real estate
invalidates the whole act;
Second-Whether as to the income
from personal property, as such, the
act is unconstitutional as laying di-
rect taxes;
Third-Whether any part of the
tax, if not considered as a direct tax,
is invalid for want of uniformity on
either of the grounds suggested.
The Cleveland Administration so
construed the decision of the Su-
preme Court that it abandoned the
attempt to collect the income tax
provided for in the Wilson bill.
On the general question of the
constitutionality of the law the court
divided as follows: For the law,
Justices Harlan, Brewer, Brown and
White; against the law, Chief Justice
Fuller, Justices Field, Gray and Shir-
as In view of Mr.. Tafts remark in
his speech about the changed mem
bership' of the, court. it is to be noted
that of the eight Justices who sat
in the income tax case only four re-
main. ON the bench Chief Justice
Fuller, who was against the law Cd
the general question of. constitution
atty, and Justices Harlan, Brewer
and White, who were for it. If a sim
liar issue We're presented to the court
the views of the five new members,
Justices Peckham, McKenna, Holmes.
Day and Moody, would presumably
determine the decision.
