SENATE.

SENATE.
Discussion OF the income tax was the
opening feature 10 the Senate today and
1t was like a trial Ia court. Senator
Borsh resumed his speech which he be-
gan yesterday and gave q mastery re-
view of tbehistoryof income taxes In leg
iSlation and the courts. He quoted Eng
lish and American authorities from the
time when an income tax Was frst
thought OF but devoted especial attention
to the discussion Of the question 10 the
constitutional convention and the views
afterwards expressed, either as judges or
writers, of men who were members OF
that convention. Senator Sutherland,
OF Utah, asked q number OF questions
indicating that 10 his opinion an income
tax law would be unconstitutional.
Senator Root, of New York, former
secretary Of state, made his maiden
speech in the Senate today. he was
evidently nervous and spoke in the
earlier stages of his address In hesti-
tatiug way. But he gained confidence
as he proceeded and st the close bis
voice was firm and easily heard through
out the chamber.
Mr.. Boot took the floor to protest
against the impression which he
thought might be created by the
speeches of Senator Borah and other sup
porters of the income tax idea that the
property interests of the country do not
nov bear q share of the burdens OF taxa
ton.
An argument for tariff on hemp was
made to the Senate this afternoon by
Senator Bradley, of Kentucky.
The senator reviewed the hard fight
for republicanism In Kentucky, insisted
that it was entitled to recognition In
tariff legislation and in conclusion be
said: "Give US fair protection in Ken
lucky aud 1 promise you that in short
while it shall become as certainly repab-
lican as the great state OF Msssschu-
setts."
Some OF the queer wrinkles 10 the
wooden schedules IN the present latln
bill we're called to the attention of the
Senate by Senator DOIliver. He cited a
member of examples of the 'morbid aud
abnormal effects of this schedule.
He also showed that on the cheaper
grades of blankets, Asnnels, dress goods
and carpets, the average duty ranged
from l01 to l43 per cent.
Declaring thst 1t was time that these
"abuses" should be abolished. Senator
Deliver announced that it was his in
tention to offer amendments TO bring
about that result.

The Commodities Clause.

cial experts today. The more the de-
cisiou declaring constitutional the COM
modit5es clause, of the Hepburn rate
law, and then limiting in the most IRON
clad manner its operations. is studied,
the more certain 1t appears that the de-
eisioui is the most important that has
ema O sted from the court since 1t knocked
out the income tax law. As the consti-
tutionsl lawyers, who receive fabulous
fees for deyising the best way to eVads
certain laws, look at the decision today
they declare that 1t does more by infer
euce than it does by direct mandate. SO
important is the court decision consid.
cred that copies Of it In full have been
ordered by merely every big lawyer who
has wall street connections.
The effect ia very apparent In the
market. The United States steel stocks,
which as a matter OF fact, are the stocks
of the biggest holding corporation in the
world for that is just what the giant
steel company is, are all high levels TO-
dsy which are uucslled for unless some
thing more than mere earnings are taken

Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE, in his re-

A spark was needed to plunge England
and Germany into war. Never in his

been so seriously threatened as now.
He contends that the present critical
situation among the nations of the world
is pvoof to his mind that the old sxiomS,
such az "1u time Of peace prepare for

present conditions among the nations to
the "dsys of forty.niue" In CalifOrnis,
where every man went armed to the

that there was no end Of fighting and
deadly ieuds, until the armiDg Of men
was prohibited by law. A nation is but
