THE INCOME TAX TO BE sHELVED

1t is difficult to quarrel with so en-
tirely reasonable a compromise on the
| income tax question as that brought
| forward by the finance committee OF
the senate. Yet it means almost GER
tainly the indefinite shelving and prob
ably the total and final defeat of fed
eral income tax.
OF course it is possible that SUI
preme court differently constituted
might reverse itself on the income tax,
as it once reversed. itself on the legal
tender notes. But what finality could
there be in such a decision; what as
surance that a third cour, differently
constituted might not throw out the
income tax law again?
1t does not seem rational to pass
law precisely like one thrown out by
the highest curt, no matter what the
public demand for it. 1t seems far
more reasonable to remove the consti-
tutional obstruction to an income tax
by the method of amendment provided.
The finance committee proposes reso-
luton to be favored by majority. We
do not see how the senate can refuse
to accept it.
Yet it will delay consideration of such
a law by congress for years, if it do
not make it impossible ever to pass it.
The resolution must be supported by
two thirds of the senate aand house,
and three ourths of the state legisla
latures 1t may not get through con-
gress until it has been made an Issue
in the elections Most of the legisla-
lures meet biennially and it would
be two or three years more before all
could act.
Is there any reason to believe that
three-fourths of the state legislatures
would ratify an income tax amend
ment? Take out the rich eastern states
that oppose it on principle, the small
| western states that are controlled by
| big interests and the states that want
! to tax incomes themselves and even a
| majoriy is doubtful. Rejection by the
states after that of the supreme cour:
would kill the income tax forever.

ANENT PRINTING THE NEWS.

Just a word regarding the news as
printed in the afternoon papers in
Walla Walla. Yesterday the Evening
Bulletin printed 1011 IL lines of read
ing matter; and the Evening States
man printed more than three times
that amount, or 1881. This is exclusive
of theater. A. Y. P. E. and circus
readers"
Further, the Bulletin printed ten
stories on local affairs, of more or less
news value. The Statesman printed
Just twice that number. This is exclu-
sive of personals and short items I'M
der one head The Statesman printed
yesterday 12S inches of local news, the
other paper printed less than forty.
The Statesman has, in a legitimate
manner, endeavored to publish the
news of Walla Walla, while the Bull
letin has been clustering, buncoing
and blowing about what it says it
does, but does not do. The ability to
furnish its readers with the news is
the foundation of a circulation. From
the above comparison is there any
reason to believe the circulation sta
tistican on the Evening Bunc People
subscribe for a paper for the news.

ENGINEERING DISCoURAGEMENT
OF WATERWAYS.

We ought to get the best expert opin-
ion from the engineering department.
of the United, States. army. And yet
they who know what development of
interior waterways has done for other
countries are puzzled before the atti-
tude of this department towards the
improvement of our own rivers.
President Roosevelt started his wa
terways commission in order to get a
broader view of this work than that of
the technical department of the army.
With practical dissolution of that COM
mission, the technical view seems to be
more dominant than ever.
Trained engineers like those of the
war department must be trusted when
they condemn a proposed scheme Of i'm
provement as impracticable Too much
money has been wasted in river inn.

CITY BUILDING.

Walla Walla is building. Very busy
is this City building homes, business
blocks streets and before long real
railroad construction is promised. All
classes Of property have been slim
ulated by the influx of homeseekers'
and this is especially true Of real es-
tate suitable for homes.
The building permits for the past
~ months show an increase over
those of the previous year of COM
Portable margin. And last year IL VIII
he remembered that Walla Walla
went right ahead with her building
even though financial conditions in
other places stopped, or at least
hindered, construction to a large de-
gree.
And it is mostly homes that are
being built here Many of them are III
additions newly plated that have not
vet been admitted to the corporation
and consequently are not shown III

of the city will show residences go

either. At the present rate of Dullo-
ing. this summer will Guido any three
months of the city's history by
large margin.
ono of the most gratifying facts
alb ut the present building is that a
high class of material is being used.
The city has quit building the old
STYLE of pioneer houses and has gone
70 building substantial residences that
are additions to the city of real
worth. and most of the residences
have an architectural value. And
more the people of Walla Walla have
the. happy faculty of making their
bouses look homelike. There is no
other city in the Northwest that has
the reputation for homes that mas
Walla Walla.
One reason for this is that there
is no city in the Northwest Where as
large a proportion Of the people own
their own homes. The man of put
moderate means owns his own home,
and it often happens that it is alto
cether a more pleasing one than that
of the wealthy man. Walla Walia Is
progressing in city building, and is
becoming more and more beaut1ui

ENTAIL OF AMERICAN ESTATES

BY one of the curious medicines of
events, information of serious business
and social interest is injected into the
last tale of Mrs Howard Gould's di-
vorce. The exact disposal of Jay
Goulds estate was known only in
vague and general way and it's in
crease under the family trust was
matter of conjecture only. The testi-
mony of the head of the family in his
brothers divorce case throws new light
on both.
George Gould swears that the estate
now amounts to $S0,O0O,0e0 and that it
never has been divided under his
fathers will. The income is equally
divided among six children, each of
whom receives something over $780,
600 a year. Some spend their incomes
for pleasure, some fop domestic COM
fort and charity, some use the surplus
in business and lay the foundation of
personal fortunes. This condition of
things will probably last for a long
time, as the youngest of the Gould
children is still young man, and the
| principal is to remain in trust during
all their life.
Here is good example of the Amer
lean entailed estate, of which we have
SO many in different forms. The Unit
| ed States has no law of entail; on the
contrary its laws forbid the continu-
ance of a trust through more than two
| lives. But even with this power, a
great estate may be held together I'M
til, with ordinary good management, it
has Increased enough to make each
| heir nearly as rich as the testator.
Howard Gould, for example, has no
great reputation as man of business
though it is believed that he has saved
largely from his income. He testified
that he had accumulated property

insurance Pro be.

ALBANY, N. Y, June 22.-Rumors
of violations of the Armstrong law by
fife insurance companies, especially
of that section limiting the purchase OF
stocks to those of municipal corpor-
atoms, are alleged to have led the state
officials to issue a call for reports on
the last day of this month.
An investigation will also be made
into rumors of non compliance with
the law requiring life insurance COM
panies to dispose of all real estate not
occupied by the companies.

for slight repairs to the engine and
was away on the final lap of the
journey at S:15 a. m. Word along the
line of the course last night was that
the car experienced very rough going
and had considerable trouble with the
sand.
Ford No. 1 and Shawmut have made
wonderful time the past So hours. At
one time the second Ford was "a
hours behind the leader and the Shaw
NUT was many miles behind the rear
Ford. The ShaWmut people drove all
night Sunday night and passed the rear
Ford Ford No. 1 passed the Shaw
nut a few miles from Walla Walla yes
terday afternoon.
The getaway made by the Ford car
was rather quiet last night. The car
had been run into the repair room,
where some axle and gasoline tank
trouble was fixed and Instead Of run
ming back past the ShaWmut car again,
was let out a side door and continued
on it's way The Shawmut people were
only 10 minutes later in starting, how
ever.
Bert Scott, who is driving Ford No.
2, has received over $4,000 as prize
money as his car has been the first to
enter cities offering prizes for the first
car. The Seattle Auto club had offer
ed a silver loving cup to the first tri-
yer to enter the state and this beautf-
full trophy will likely fall to Mr.. Scott.
In talking last night Mr. T. A. Pettin-
gill one of the drivers of the Shaw
NUT, said the racers were going on
nerve" alone now and that if it was
to last much longer he would not be
surprised if none would finish. He
took the wheel Sunday afternoon at 1
o'clock, and when he gave up to his
partner did not wake until yesterday
about noon. He said neither he nor
| Robert Messer, who is making the trip
with him would leave the car again
until they reached Seattle and that
they should pull in there at some hour
tomorrow night.
| One of the Seattle agents was in
Walla Walla yesterday to meet the
| Ford cars and was well pleased with
| the showing made by the little
Fords. He said, however, that he
would not be satisfied until they had
arrived in Seattle as it was possible
for them to lose out when within so
miles Of the city. He acknowledged
that the ShaWmut would press the lit
tie cars hard and that there was great
danger of it winning. The men trav-
cling in the Shawmut car would not
say they would win as the Fords have
two chances to the Shawmuts one.
All along the line the racers are se-
ing asked exorbitant prices for every
thing. One man who furnished one
meal to the two Shawmut people re-
fused to take anything for the food,
but when the two journey worn men
sat.ated themselves at delightful
dinner they were handed letter and
upon opening it found they had been
sent a bill for IS for the dinner.

worth $10,OOO,O00 outside of the estate.
His more capable brothers must have
larger fortunes of their own.
We still hear from time to time that
it is only three generations from shirt
sleeves to ShirtSleeveS. But a large
number of rich American families are
finding a use of the power of trust
which makes for survival of wealth in
fit hands almost as surely as law of
entail.
