question:; and in effect challenges

Mr.. Bai,y aid the tariff bill re-
pOrtcd TO the Senate was in the main
the sam" IS that OF 1894. His income
tax amendment. he said. was the same
as thu. law which had formerly been
enacted with minor EXCEPTIONS. He
had in this amendment raised the ex'
emptiun from incomes of $4,000 to in
comes of $1,000. and had raised the
rat. OF tax from TO 3 per cent.
which. he said. would result In a
gre alter revenue than would the per
cent. tax on $4,000 incomes.
Certain Securities Exempt.
Il have also" said Mr. Bailey. re
eDonded to the unanimous decision OF
the Supreme Court OF the United
Stgtes that Congress has TO power
to lew an Il come tax on State. county
and mrriSicl securities. and 7 have
snpc.fically exempted incomes derived
from that source regard it as up-
fortunate that the were previously
included in the law. thought II
plain that the court would. and
think it equally plain that the court
ought to have decided that that part
of the law was not constitutional.
In other respects. he said. his
amendment still challenges that de-
cision OF the Supreme Court. He was
satisfied that his amendment was not
in contravention Of the constitution.
He believes a majority of the court
erred in that decision.
Court Was Divided.
And" he added. remembering
that that decision was by a divided
court and that it overruled the de-
cisions Of one hundred wears, do
not think Il improper for the Ameri-
can Congress to consider the ques-
ton Of its reconsideration by the Su-
preme Court"
Mr. Bailey said he did not INTRO
duce his amendment because he de-
s.red to tax prosperity. but because
| ne preferred TO tax the incomes OF
prod roas people rather than to
place /, upon the backs and unfortu-
nate appctites OF people who at best
are doing none too well.
Can the senator advise the Sen
ale what amount his income tax
amendment wolld raise" asked Mr..
Aldrich
NO more rF1ied Mr.. Bailey.
than the senator can tell the amount
his tariff bill will raise"
Mr.. Aldrich replied that he would
do that later.
Mr.. Bailey added that his amend,
mcnt would raise from 0.na0. 900 to
$50 600 600 revenue annually.

HERALD INTERVIEWS.
HONOLULU EDITOR.

Says the Hawaii Herald: The Ho-
nilulu Star" has generally been Gre
dited with announcing it's support of
the Prohibition movement, but from
a conversation with It's editor, Mr..
George Henshall, the Herald learns
that this is not so and has secured at
first hand a correct idea of the
"Stars" policy as follows:
'It is not exactly true to say that
the Star has come out for Prohibition,
as has been published" said Editor
Henshall. "Nor is it true that there
is a radical change in policy. The
Star has declared more strongly than
ever for an anti-saloon policy and the
Republican party, as well as the vot-
ers, will probably follow that issue.
more than a year ago the Star de-
clared it's belief that the voters of Ha-
waii would give dry verdict if given
a chance and more than a year ago
it expressed the view that the great
so-called Prohibition wave now in the
United States was essentially an anti
saloon wave rather than a Prohibi-
tion wave. On the anti-saloon issue
the victories have been won.
at Is conceded by the liquor men,
i mean the big dealers,-that the
saloon is an evil Some of the big
brewery men in the country have
joined the war upon it as an institu,
ton. It has practically no defenders
The only intelligent excuse for it evel
offered is that it is better than blint
pigs.

before a jury, it would be difficult to
separate the trachoma and bribery al.
legations; if the man is guilty of hav-
ing an infectious disease he would be
dangerous at large, and if he is guilty
