TAFT's ATTEMPT TO SIDE
TRACK THE INCOME TAX.
SIDE

The attempt of the President, to
help Aldrich side-track the income tss
amendments offered by Cummins and
Bailey, is crude, bungling, partisan
piece of work.
In his special message to congress
the President recommended a
constitutional amendment, author.
izing an income tax instead OF
putting on the statute book law a.
ready there and never repealed.
If some careless third class law
yer made statement parallel to
this, in the trial of justice court
case, it would be discreditable to
him.
The income tax law to which Pres
ident Taft refers was passed during
Clevelands second term as president,
and ran for only five years, expiring
by it's own terms in 1900.
Before the constitution of the Unit
ed States can be amended, two,thirds
of both houses of congress must con-
cur in the proposed amendment, and
the measure must be ratified by
three-fourths of the states. Should
two-thirds of tie members of congress
vote for an income tax amendment to
the constitution, what chance would
there be to secure favorable vote
in three-fourths of the states?
Do not the possessors of swollen for
tunes control the legislatures of
more than one-fourth of the states? A
properly drafted income tax law does
not require an amendment to the
constitution to give it validity.
If it did the plutocrats would not
be all broken up over the possible
passage of an income tax law by
the combined votes of the democrats
and insurgent republicans. If a con-
stitutional amendment was required
before incomes could be taxed, does
any one suppose that President Taft
would have proposed a tax on corpor.
alton dividends as chloroform dose
for the income tax amendments?
The proposed tax on corporation d.
vidends would be. SO easily evaded
and SO unjust that it would more
than likely be nullified by the courts.
A corporation that would issue
bonds, and use up its surplus earn
ings paying interest thereon, would
be exempt from this new form of tax
alton; while the corporation that pre-
ferred to sell stock and pay dividends
instead of interest would be required
to pay 50 tax on every s1oo of divi
dends it declared.
In every community there are sma 1
corporations doing business side by
side with partnerships and indiyid-
uals. 1t would be unjust to tax ev-
cry little struggling factory,
owned by corporation, and exempt
those owned by individuals and
partnerships.
President Taft atsthe request of his
party bosses. made a hurry-up jump
in the dark and landed in a position
which exposes him to well merited
censure and ridicule.

COUNCIL MEETING.

The regular meeting of the city
council was held on Monday evening,
June 81. All members of the council
were present, and also the Mayor,
city solicitor and city clerk. w. d.
Hoyt presented petition for the
construction of sewer in the alley
between Howard and Union streets,
extending west from Franklin street.
A majority of the property owners
abutting this alley signed the petition
but it was deemed best to appoint
the committee ON streets and alleys
to consult the owners who did not
sign the petition. 1t was also con-
sidered advisable for the city to pur-
chase such land as would be neces-
sary to open this alley to its full
width the entire length. The matter
will be continued at a special meet
ing to be held on Monday evening,
August 2.
Considering the advisability of ex-
tending the water mains from north
on Iowa and west on Howard to the
dry run. Alderman Cruise reported
that he had interviewed several pro.
perty owners in that part of town
and the majority expressed them
selves as favorable to the project.
The matter of needed fire protection
is also an argument for the construc-
ton of such extensions.
Marshal T. T. Oliver informed the
council that several months ago he
had made cinder crossing on First
street near the IllinoisCentral pas
senger depot, with the assurance
from the company that it would
build cement walk as soon as the
weather permitted. Nothing has been
done as yet. and the matter will be
given attention by the proper COM
mittee.

THE HALEY COMET.

The visit to our immediate neigh
borhood of the HALEY comet, which
appears to our observation but once
in seventy-six years, is a matter which
will interest many millions of people
in America this fall and the coming
spring. This comet was named after
Edmund HALEY, who in 1852 first
discovered it to be periodical Wis
itor and predicted its return. 1t is
a very spectacular comet, indeed, and
will be visible to the naked eye in the
northern hemisphere about February,
1910. The telescopes will have dis
covered 1t long before that time, how
ever, and perhaps even before this
notice appears in print. In the Itch
nical World Magazine for October
there is very interesting story of
the discovery of this comet and of
Halley's prediction of its return, to-

RAILWAY MOUNTAIN DANGERS.

A colony of beavers built--nobody
knows how many years ago--a high
dam blocking the narrow mouth of a
valley lying between two lofty peaks
in the Canadian Rockies. The bot
tom of this valley is itself more than
5000 feet above the sea. Behind this
dam lake of considerable size and
depth was confined. Year after year
the dam held back the water ana the
colony of beavers flourished and in
creased.
Presently the engineers who were
building the first transcontinental
railroad from eastern Canada to the
Pacific located their line at the bot
tom Of a deep gorge several thousand
feet below the beaver dam, of the
very existence of which they were
ignorant. One hot summer day. a few
years ago the sun melted the snow on
the twin peaks which walled in the
beavers lake and released a great
volume OF water, which entirely wash
ed away the dam and plunged on,

Even today one may see, looking
down from the roadbed, some of the
rails which were swept away, stand
ing perpendicular in the debris. with
the ties still attached to them, looking
like ladder of some giant rising in

On every mile of the mountain di-
vision a watchman is constantly on
duty day and night, patroling the
track and looking for just such accl-
dents as this. Within a few minutes
of the time that the dam burst, news
of the catastrophe was sent to every
