FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE.
Another Measure Introduced by Repre-

WASHINGTON. June 2s.--Another meas
ure looking toward international peace
and amity was introduced in the House
to-day by Representative Bartholdt Of
Missouri, chairman OF the American
Group Of the International Parliamentary
Union. 1t came in the form OF resolu-
tion directing the President to appoint
two commissions, one Of which shall be
known as the Commission on Permanent
International Court OF Arbitral Justice
and the other to be known as the Com
mission OF the Limitation Of Armaments,
Each commission is to be composed OF
three persons, who shall receive q salary
Of 81 500 a year. The resolution requests
the President to ask all the Powers sigma
tory to the Hague conference to appoint
similar bodies.
The American commissions are in
structed to make q report on the subject
with which they are to deal at least two
years prior to the date OF the next Hague
conference. In commenting upon his
resolution Mr.. Bartholdt said:
Behind this resolution is the force OF
the whole peace movement in the United
States and other countries. II is the
result OF extended deliberations and con-
ferences. and Ia the direct outcome OF
peace gatherings held In the United
States. II expresses in succinct form

!, Constitution 90 that tax might bc inn
posed on the incomes Of individuals.
The Democrats and the insurgents
apparently had lost the fight before the
struggle had actually begun. Some OF
them admit this openly but intend TO
ooniinue the struggle In the hope OF bring
ing about conditions which may give them
some measure Of success. The move
ment for an inheritance tax is gaining
headway among insurgent Republicans
who refused to support the Bailey Cum
MINIS alliance but are not entirely enam
ored OF the plan Of the Federal Admin
istration and the Finance Committee To
impose a tax on corporation incomes and
adopt q joint resolution TO permit con-
stitutionaI emendation. Senator Dixon
OF Montana, once accredited an insurgent
will deliver a speech In favor OF a tax on
inheritances. and IL Is said that other
Republican Senators will support his
contentious.
just how the matter will turn out no
body is in a position to predict, but the
feeling Is growing in the Senate that
even II the corporation tax amendment
ID attached to the tariff bill the Senate
conferees will recede from 1t when the
measure gets into conference and will
agree to accept the House provision for
q tax on inheritanoes.

CENSUS BILL PASSED
And Now Goes to the President for His
Approval.

"pptoNsa
wAsHrNoTox, June 2s.-The way has
now been paved by Congress whereby
the Director OF the Census may count
noses In the United States next year.
Tho measure providing the machinery to
take the thirteenth census was agreed
to In the House and Senate to-day. The
bill appropriating 10000 900 TO dsfray
q part OF the cost Of tho work had already
passed both branches Of Congress. Both
bills now 20 to the President for approval.
Tho bill agreed to to-day makes pro-
vision for mechanical equipment and the
appointment Of additional employees.
II reduces the salary Of the Director OF the
Census from $500 to 81 900 and fxes the
compensation Of the assistant director
at Is 900. A the bill originally passed
the House the additional clerks to b
appointed incident to taking OF the
census were to be paid 5000 a year. This
was inSrsased re Z TO s7sc by the Senate, but
clerks stands. The amendment making
an appropriation for the construct on
Of a census building was lost in confer
ence.
Preparations will be made at once for the
taking OF the census. Supervisors will be
| appointed :nd trained in their work. and
ators will be named IL Ii estimated that
Il will be necessary to employ about s7o
supervisors. who will be assigned as q
rule to districts conforming TO the Con.
gress districts. Approximately 10000
enumerators will be employed In the
work. Enumeration will be begun Apri
is, 1910 In all cities OF 5000 population
and over II must be completed In fifteen
days, but In country districts enumerators
win be allowed thirty days la which to
complete their labors. II Is estimated
that the thirteenth census will cost ap.
