INCOME TAX AMENDMENT

; Washington, June 21.-senator5
Bourne is among the progressive Re-

Speaking today of Il the movement,
Mr. Bourne said:
& This is the psychological moment
for the adoption of a great reform in
revenue raising and corporation con-
troll and the proposed provision pro-
perly drawn must insure publicity, to
the government at least. as to all cor,
.poration earnings and thus eliminate

who employ men and teams to- haul 1t

man to ring gong as he comes along

out on the property line, and unless
lit is there, the garbage man does not
have to go around to the, back OF the
house to get it.. In many cities there
= IS an ordinance which provides that the
can must be covered and that prohibits
the accumulation OF garbage.

made chiefly by; the sanitary depart

Word from President A. w. McC,une

states that he is now en- route from
New York to Lima, having been sue
cessful in raising s2O0o,000 i'll London

Wan government, with which TO start
5actiNc operations in the construction of

can easily build the so miles OF road

Active governmental assistance will be
extended in the way$of a financial Dos

der of tho line. :,
Z Mr.. McCune will set parties of en-
gineers at work at once running two
lines down the eastern slopes of the
Andes frain which the most feasible
one will be selected as the permanent
line. In the meantime ties and rails
are being ordered. if not ordered al-i
ready. so that the day the final loca-
tion is decided on, grading can begin
with tracklaSing following the grad
Sers.
The road will start from Arroya
Junction, where the Cerro de Pasco ana
Peruvian Central railroad join. COM.
pete the climb to the nearest Andean
pass, and then down to the Amazon.
Building Il railroad OIL the eastern side
is an entirely different proposition from
/ building on the Pacific slope as tho,
latter Is both rocky and PERCEPTIONS
necessitating much rock cutting and
tunneling with expensive bridges, and
very heavy grades, While on the At
1antic slope The gradients are easy,
there Is only a minimum o. rock cut

nels. Two million dollars would not
make much Of a showing on the vest
gern2 side of the mountains; but on the
eastern side 1t will suffice for long
distance. The length of the new road
will be 250 miles, ending at the Amazon
headwaters. where docks are to be built
and steamship connections made. The
tAndean ores from Mr.. McCune' $ mines
and contiguous properties, can then be
hauled by rail to tho Amazon river,
dumped into the hold of seagoing YES
sells and carried without further break
of bulk to the American seaboard
smelters. This will he good deal
cheaper than the expensive haul to CAL
lao. on the Pacific ocean, breaking bulk
at the isthmus, hauling the ore over to
the Caribbean sea and reloading on
steamers. There will be no particular.
saving Of distance, but the difference
in the cost of handling will amount
to a great deal. In addition to this, q
wonderfully fertile country will be
opened up at the AmaZonian head
quarters. and an inexhaustible supply
of native hardwoods be secured. That
there will be a. szeable immigration in
there is evident and a heavy trade
built up, irrespective or the handling
