his counsel was sought upon all
measures and very soon the best
evidence that proposed law had
merit and should be enacted was his
endorsement of it. 1t can be truth
fully said of Mr.. Taylor, that in
all places Of trust he made good
When his end came there closed one
of the brightest and most promising
public careers in South Dakota. He
will be greatly missed by the whole
state who had recognized in him
leader in whom there was no politi-
cal guile. While the whole state
will mourn him yet his loss will be
mostly felt in his family and among
the friends which he had bound to
him by ties which will last until
time has called them all to the land
of shadows. Ed. Taylor was an
ideal son, husband, father and
friend. We cannot end words to
our sorrow at the loss Of
this splendid man, great mind and
loving heart.

VOTE TO Be CLOSE
Coalition on Income Tax Pro-
posaI In the Senate.
EXPECT TO HAVE MAJORITY
Democrats and Progressive Re-
pubIicans Unite.

Washington, May 19.-That there
will be a sharp contest in the senate
over the proposition to refer to the
judiciary committee the amendment
to the tariff bill introduced by Sena-
tor Bailey providing for an income
tax, is indicated by coalition of the
Democrats and some of the progress
sive Republicans, which has just be-
come known.
Unquestionably the vote will be
close, probably the closest that will
occur in making the tariff bill.
The Democratic strength in the SEN
ate is thirty-one votes, all of which
are pledged to support the amend
ment. Mr.. Bailey is counting upon
from sixteen or seventeen Republican
votes to secure the adoption of the
amendment, and it Is said that some
of the progressives have assured him
that they can deliver that many. Fiji
teen would be sufficient if the Demo
Gratis voted solidly for the amend
ment.
on the other hand, conservative Re-
publicans in charge of the tariff bill
say they have made some inroads up
on the progressive Republican camp
and that upon the question of refer
ring the whole subject of an income
tax to the judiciary committee for a
report at the next regular session
they already have forty-fve votes
pledged and express confidence of sue
cess.
Until the understanding just an
nopnced, the Democrats and progress
sive Republicans were far apart over
the form of the bill to be supported.
Senators CummiLs and Borah, chief
advocates among the latter for an in
come tax amendment, were in favor
Of a graduated tax according to the
size of the incomes and were opposed
to a tax on corporations. BY surren-
dering these contentious in order to
get a vote it was said that an agree
ment would be reached upon the prip
clpal features Of the Bailey amend
ment The plan is to provide for a
fat tax of or per cent upon in
comes above $5,00p aud upon incomes
Of corporations r,yove the figures
named. That there shall be no dou
bic taxation or individuals, provision
will be made for deductions where
the tax upon corporations stock has
been paid through the corporation it.

the most pleasing personality. He
was hustler who came to Webster

the law practice. He was upright,
able, honest and forceful and soon
built for himself a place in the legal
profession that was second to none
