Colorado Senator Is m
 Favor Of An Income Tax
Senator Guggenhem the Richest Man In the Senate, F. the Measure Which Is Giving the Republicans Trouh3 Many Republicans Would Vote For An Income .0
 Tax If They Could. es

Washington, April S-(Specal.) )-Simon Guggenheim, popularly credited with be- ing the richest man in the Senate, Is in favor of an income tax. This, at any rate, is tha interesting story circulated in congressional circles today It Is said that the Colorado senator takes this posi-
 tion not on account of political expedi- ency but rather with the object of show ing the country that at least one enor- mously wealthy man is willing to bear his Just share of the burdens of taxa ton. Incidentally. it Is not beyond the range of possibilities that Senator Gus- genheim believes such vote will do much toward offsetting unfortunate racial prej- udices The senator's supposed attitude is a lively topic today. and if 1t turns out to be correct he promises to become one of the most notable figures connected with the enactment of the new bill.
 Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island has awakened to the fact that 1t is going to require the finest kind of political gen. eralship to defeat an income tax amend ment or course, nothing will be left undone to brinug about negative vote on the proposition. The inheritance tax. an increased beer tax or stamp tax are all deemed infinitely preferable to the income tax by the organization leaders.

DRY GOODS MARKET IS MUCH STRONGER

New York, Aprn 1S.-The cotton goods and cotton yarn markets are stronger than a week ago and while the general wholesalers of dry goods are not buying freely, the converting and manufacturing trades have been operating quite general ly. There is an absence of speculation In the purchases.
 It is a little too early for jobbers to buy domestics for fall. Moderate buying of stock yarns is reducing the surplus in the large markets. The tendency of the present advance was to restrict pur- chases early in the week, but at the close of business on Saturday operations were more general,
 The tariff discussion Is a factor in re- tarding operations. Announcement Is made of big carpet auction April 29. and the fall carpet lines will be opened May & Buyers have been quite slu- merous In the market and they have been proceeding cautiously. Credit conditions in the trade seem sound and although there are many quiet spots there apepars to be full confidence in values as they stand. The production of print cloths at Fall River was sold for the week and prices are higher and l.rfner.
