It appears that though a majority in. the U. s. Senate favor an income txa, there will be an adverse majority of four when the question comes to a vote. This apparent contradiction is explained by the fact that some of the Senators who really favor the tax, are held back by the adverse decision of the Supreme court which was render ed years ago. 1t would seem that they do not credit the statement of President Taft to the effect that an in come tax bill can be so constructed as to meet the objections of the Supreme court, and further, do not take into full consideration the facts that the decis- ion was by majority of but one, that the court is now somewhat differently constituted and that it has been known to reverse its decisions.

The Senate Finance committee has decided to report a tariff duty of % or 30 per cent. on crude petroleum. This is in response to the request of the independent producers who assert that free petroleum would enable the Standard Oil Go. to import the crude, in competition with their product. This argument assumes apparently that Standard Oil does not produce crude petroleum and is exclusively a refiner. It is evident that between the Stand ard Oil Co.,, and the independents, there will be no reductions in either crude petroleum orsits products These two interests. popularly supposed to be competitors even to the point of bit ter antagonis1n. are apparently play ing into each others hands, the inde- pendents desiring high duty on crude petroleum, and Standard Oil wishing protection on oil products. It is the familiar old log-rolling device, with the public under the logs and paying the bill.

DANG1lR FROM THE
 ss MAXIM SILENCER

E ArsH F. Maxim, inventor of the 'ssi- 4encer" for use on rifles. has been com pelfe1 by criticism to come to the de- 6eucs Of Ais invention. It having been aGeat6d by an expert who had tested fkes ssilencer," that s'the advantage which criminal would possess if he attsmpted to infiict injury with rifle d<t9d with silencer would be consid- eenble. Mr. Maxim says, in a letter to tbe Springfield Republican:
 F% 1sh4xe found way to silence from S5 10 n per cent of the noise made at f&4mrmle of rifle. There is a lot of vefy curious noise left. It seems to
 te general. all pervading, reverbera- fogy sort of noise, coming from mo- Wbere in particular. It seems to de- Bend upon the conf1guration of the country over which you shoot. For ex- ample, a .3o-40 rifle fired up into the air M5qlfas less noise than a boys air rifle The same gun brought down and fired acroes field fin which there are trees a1E1l1exmakes loud, curious rev. es3e&et3on which may be heard long sQfrtu11ce. Fired in thick woods the hole H like that which comes after a d16h of lightning and just before the arrival of the thunder clap. It sug- ueets tsfrfRg or ripplng.
 uu1s the 1nuzzle noise and the recoil, Out does not make shooting by any means siient-' It would appear, from Mr. Maxim's statement as to the all- prevailing. reverberatory noise," that the Invention is not a silencer. but a promoter ofaaound. and yet he says that it will "silence from 95 to s9 per cents.zof the rnuzzle noise. We find d5AicuIty in reconciling the two state- ments. According to them the silencer sfIeuces but does not silence. Under these conditions we are inclined to coincide with the police view that use of the sflencerl should be restricted par tidd1af1y as According to the expert above quoted, the -silencer at night eliminates the nash of the rifle. In his judgment, ait may sbe authorized for uae on military arms and upon all shooting arms when the owners there Of are properly licensed. but not oth- erwise.
 There have been inventions, deemed 90 ,daalgerous to the public safety, that their use has been discouraged; MT. Maxim,s silencer, if it silences from s5 to 99 per cent, of the muzzle noise, ana if the flash of the weapon at night is also eliminated, should be placed in the dangerous list or, better still, re- served exclusively for army and navy nSe
 Fortunately, it cannot, in its pres elt form, be used on pistols, but such use is barred only by it's weight, which ob4tacle may quite probably be re- moved by the ingenuity of inventors.

Collecting Poll Tax - Going to Holy Land Eleciricty for Christ Church Demand for Coal-A Surprise Odd Fellows Celebration.

There is some conSternation in town among those who are in debt to the taxes. It is understood Sheriff Stagg has concluded to collect all the poll taxes overdue, and not few citizens find they have failed to pay for some years. The argument is that as they enjoy all the benefits of the govern ment, and vote at the town meetings, they ought to help pay the expenses.

It may be said, in passing, that the other churches in town are already illuminated by electricity.

MT. Bryan calls upon the Democratic members of Congress to support such an amendment of the pending tariff bill as will prevent the issuance of in ternal revenue tax receipts to liquor dealers in dry towns, cities and States He claims that this advice is based, not upon any devotion to the cause of prohibition, but upon a de- sire for obedience to the peoples wish as expressed in ''dry'' sections.
 These internal revenue tax receipts are popularly called "Federal licen- ses." In fact, they are not licenses, according to Secretary Mcveagh. The law imposes a tax on liquor dealers, and the document popularly called a license, is a receipt for that tax. It does not authorize sales of liquor, but does exact a tax when such sales are being made, whether in "dry" or "wet" territory; if it is not paid, there is a penalty While technically, payment of the tax is not the grant of a license, it is such in effect, for possession of the receipt permits sales without dan ger of Federal prosecution. Knowl- edge of the closeness of the Govern ment watch upon the liquor trade, men who deal surreptitiously in "dry'' lo- calities. are usually very careful to ob- tain these tax receipts which serve all the purposes of Federal licenses.
 The Prohibition party is very desir- ous that the Government shall refuse to issue these tax receipts in sdry'' sections, It believes that the Govern ment would thus serve the prohibi- tory cause. for surreptitious dealers would hardly dare to risk Federal de- tection and prosecution.
 MT. Bryan's suggestion is likely to gain for him the opposition of the li- quor trade. should he ever again run. for office.
