to tax incomes is given the government
we will see the states taxed not out of
their existence, but out of their vital
ity
I'm my judgment every state in the
union will ratify the amendment at it's
first opportunity" continued Mr.. Brown
THE present agitation all over the
country looking to the calling of special
sessions of the legislatures for the pur-

to taxing incomes at the present time
are in favor of comforting the power on
Congress to pass such law should the
needs of the government ever require it,

for a passing freight to clear. The train
stopped with the engine seemingly at the
water tank. The caboose was over the
crossing and about 30 feet from the We
hicle as it mounted the embankment to

The train backed just as the vehicle
was middleways the track. The surrey
was struck squarely in the center. Mr..
Holloway was thrown to one side of the
track and the negro nurse jumped to
safety The vehicle was crushed to splint-
ers and the two ladies and children were
ground to instant death.
