HOUSE PASSES SENATE JOINT
RESOLUTION BY ALMOST
UNANIMOUS VOTE.
DEMOCRATS DELIGHTED
MEASURE YET TO BE SIGNED BY
PRESIDENT AND RATIFIED
BY THE STATES.

WashingtOn.-By the decisive vote
OF 317 to IA. more than the necessary
two-thirds, the House Monday passed
the Senate Joint resolution providing
for the submission of the income tax
amendment question to the states.
The negative votes were all cast by
Republicans. The resolution now goes
to the President for his signature.
The burden of the Democratic
speeches was that 1t was simply
case of stealing Democratic thunder.
Chairman Payne said he was utter
1y opposed to such tax In times of
peace. He believed it was the most
difficult of enforcement and the hard
est to collect. 1T is, in a word" he
said. "a tax upon the incomes of hon
est men and an exemption, to some
extent. to the radicals" He hoped it
would never be invoked
1--WE welcome the conversion of the
Republican party to another Demo-
cratic principle" was the comment of
Mr.. Clark of Missouri, the minority
leader. who got rousing applause from
his side OF the chamber for his utter
ance. "An income tax" he main
tanned. was Democratic principle"
Declaring that II the question had
been put to him, Mr. Clayton of Ala
bama said he would exempt the poor
man who was least able to bear the
burdens Of government, and would
tax the multi-millionaires and thereby
make the Idle rich pay something to
the support Of the federal govern
ment.
Il would" he said,- amid Demo-
cratic applause. "get your Willie Wal
dorf Astors who have millions of in
come and live abroad, in the light.
would get the Laird of Skybo or Skee-
bo. or whatever you call it."
Hobo" voice on the Republican
side was heard to say.
Il scorn, said Mr. James of Ken
lucky. In favoring the resolution, "a
government whose taxing power pro-
vides that Lazarus shall share his
crumbs, but that Dives must not give
his riches"
Mr.. James quoted from an ante
election speech in which Mr.. Taft IA
vored a graduated income tax and ex-
pressed the view that perhaps a
change in the personnel OF the United
States Supreme Court might effect a
reversal of its former opinion holdin-;
the income tax unconstitutional.
You denounced Bryan for that!"
he exclaimed, facing the Republican
side. "You said he was assailing the
honor and integrity of the Supreme
Court, yet the man you elevated to
the loftiest station in the nation vir-
tually repeated the very same words
that for twelve years the Democratic
party in every platform had uttered
The vote on the resolution resulted
BIT to IA. The Democrats voted sol.
idly for the resolution. but the follow
ing Republicans voted against 1t: AL.
Creary and Wheeler of Pennsylvania; !;
len, Maine Barchfield, Dalzell, Nc.
Fordney OF Michigan; Garner, Mccall
and Weeks Of Massachusetts,: Hill and
Henry Of Connecticut: Olcott and
SouthwicB Of New York; Calderhead

day.

There are. as stated above, six pack
ing and slaughtering plants at the
stock yards with a capacity to handle
three times the quantity that is slaugh-
cred here at the present time, and
Colorado packers are ready to enlarge
their plants and increase their capac-
ity for supplying the demand as rapid
ly as necessity requires, and Colorado
people are the market channel that
they depend on for distribution to
maintain and increase the prosperity
of the packing house industry in our

There is annually shipped into Colo
RADIO 100000 pounds or 500 carloads
of packing house products. Think
what 1t would mean II our Colorado in
stitutions could have this amount add

an increase in the production necessi-
tates a corresponding increase in num-
ber of employees. which adds to the
payrolls for distribution at home.

Whatever can be done to entrench
our UNCONVENTIONAL school and eol-
leges more firmly in the hearts of the
people Will be done. The institutions
of learning in the conference are al
ready overcroWded and need more
money. Methodisnl always the friend
OF learning, cannot and will not recede
from pushing these vital interests.
The conference, already in the front
rank of Southern Methodism in mis-
slonary matters, both in contributions
OF money and workers to the foreign
field, will not recede from its advanc-
ed position. The indications are for
still further advance
More than all, conference will give
It's emphatic endorsement, and what
ever means it can, to an intense and
aggressive evangelism. The success
or the missionary evangelists in the
home field of this conference has been
so gratifying that the conference will
in all probability plan for larger home
missionary movements than it has
ever known
RevivalS have blessed many of the
churches and the additions to the
church have been large, reaching into
thousands.
Delegates to General Conference.
One of the features of the coming
session will be the election of dele
gates to the general conference which
meets in Asheyille, n. c., next May.
The general conference. is composed
of both clerical and lay members ell
ected by their respective annual con-
ferences, the ministers voting for the
ministers and the laymen for the lay
delegates on a ratio fixed by the gem
eral conference, which now has one
delegate for every forty eight mem
bers. Conference provides, however,
that each annual conference shall
have at least two delegates, one cler-
ical and one lay.
Or course no one can forecast dele
CATION. They are elected without nom
ination and are supposed to have
made no canvass to secure election.
The Increase of members since the
last general conference will probably
entitle conference to twelve delegates,
six clerical and six lay.
