Quest of James Burke of
Three Aces for Grub Hoe

This is the story of Sir James Burke of
the Three Aces and his quest for the
grub hoe
Jimmy Burke, 81 years old, who lives in
little shack somewhere in the northwest
part OF the city, just where he seems un-
able TO tell, came TO town.
Ostensibly, his object was to buy a grub
hoe with which to pursue certain activ-
tiles that mean bread and butter to him.
But he had another purpose in view. as
he sheepishly admitted to Police Judge
Crawford the next morning when he
talked himself out OF Jail
1t appears that Jimmy has a bottle of
Three Aces" at home which causes him
all manner OF trouble. Every time he takes
a drink he receives a sudden and irrestible
call to wander out into the city and visit
numerous places of business that con-
tribute an annual stippance of 1900 to the
school fund.
After a short conversation with the
Three Aces" Burke, who might have been
some kin OF Edmund II he had not been
born on the wrong side OF the Irish sea,
tucked into his pocked $40 check which
had come to him from some unknown
source and sailed forth to buy that grub
hoe.
He got IT, all right and also managed TO
buy a fair sized lunch OF liquids from
certain counters where pop corn and sand

wiches are served on the side. But unfor-
tunately, after Jimmy had invested all
the change from the check, after buying
his grub hoe he imagined himself a money
stocked capitalist and stood in fear that
he was going to be robbed by the maudlin
gentlemen who thronged the foamy cock
tail counters in the neighborhood of the
police station.
In fact, Jimmy Burke, the grub hoeman.
no longer existed; he had become Mr..
James Burke. the monied man. And with
each dollar of alcoholic wealth that ac-
crued at lightning swift interest as he con-
sumed "Omaha's favorite," his apprehen-
sion grew apace.
Finally, to protect himself from the ad
vances OF his menacing compatriots, Sir
James heaved his anchorous grub hoe, now
a bother, and stepped from the circle of
their acquaintance.
Sad 10 relate, this peaceful mAneuver was
mistaken for a declaration OF savage hos
tilities the police dropped in to referee the
proct edings and Jimmy Burke later awoke

and mad sentenced him TO that, but upon
hearing Jimmy's earnest plea TO be al
lowed to put his grub hoe TO work, the
Judge reversed himself and Jimmy went
free.

FOR TAX oyy6RpORATIOys'
President Will Send Special Message
to Congress Today.
WOULD AMEND CONSTITUTION
Provision AwH he Made for Future
Levyi4z of Income Tax--Attorney
General Wickersham VIII Draft
Proposed Amendments.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-President TAFT
tomorrow will send to congress a message
urging the passage of an amendment 70
the tariff bill imposing a tax OF per sent
upon the undistributed net earnings of cor
porations and the adoption Of resolution
submitting to the several states an amend
ment to the constitution giving congress
the power to impose a tax on incomes.
This understanding was reached at a ses-
sion of the cabinet today and was ap-
proved by republican leaders of the senate
who conferred with the president In order
that there shall be no question that the
two propositions to be recommended have
the support of the administration, Attor-
ney General Wickersham will draft both
the amendment and the resolution. 1t is
expected that the corporation tax amend
ment will be referred TO the committee on
finance and that the resolution submitting
the question of amending the constitution
will go to the committee on judiciary
1t is hoped that all of the questions in
volved may be disposed of on Friday, when
the pending income tax amendment will
be taken up.
In view Of the emphatic stand taken by
President Taft a number of progressive
republicans have signified their Intention
of following his recommendations. But
some of the progressive republicans are
not satisfied with this administrative pro-
gram, and will probably protest Demo
cratic senator's also are expected to de-
nounce the tax on corporations sub
stitute for a direct tax on incomes.
Not only is the president favorable to
an amendment providing for a tax upon
the net earnings of corporations because
of the added revenue II would produce,
but much more so because he believes 1t
would cause a healthy degree of publicity
relative to the affairs of corporations.
This, he and many of his advisers believe,
would give great satisfaction to the people
at large and would give the corporations
a standing otherwise impossible for them,
inasmuch as it would in a way stamp upon
them the approval OF the national govern
ment, and, it is believed, would increase
their credit with domestic and foreign cap
ital.
He is said to be convinced, II the sug-
gested amendment is properly drawn on the
basis of the internal revenue law, it would
give government officials access TO the
books Of all corporations, and thus pub
licity would be assured and would prevent
what is considered to be one of the evils
Of the day, namely concealed equities. In
the language of one of the presidents ad-
visers it would do away with corporation
melon-cutting, and would insure the re-
sponsibility for corporation management TO
the stockholders.
1t is believed that the president viii
recommend that the tax should be unlim-
tied as to time, as this is considered es-
sential to the success OF the proposed law
