The flank movement o. President
Taft was inspired by the needs OF
Senator Aldrich. He stood beaten on
the proposition that there should be
no income tax, and in deep despair
he APPEALED to the president Then
aud there was cOncocted the scheme
os submitting a per cent tax on the
dividends of corporations, including
small investors, together with the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment permitting an Income tax. THIS
was agreed to by the president in the
very teeth OF the declaration and
pledge TO the people made in his ac-
ceptence speech at Cincinnati last
July. as follows:
In my judgment. an amendment
to the constitution ,or an tncom9
tax is not necessary. l believe nat
al income tax, wnen the protective
system OF customs and the InteTnIi
revenue tax shall not furnish income
enough for the governmental needs,
Can ard should be devised, wh.ca,
under the direction o. the supreme
court, viii conform TO the consutu
tom
IN his special message he ptactt-
Caliy says the Pollock five by four
decision depriveS the government Of
the lower to levy an income tax, and
lie goes on to say that a constitution
al amendment is the only proper
course" A greater difference in
views before election and views after
election was never before presented
in the full blaze that shins upon the
throne.
What effect the Aldrich- Taft
scheme for inducing progressive mid
die west republicans to drop the in
come tax amendment will have upon
the insurgent senators remains to be
seen. The power of the party at
Washington is up against the power
of constituencies at home. The con-
test may be fought out today, and
the sincerity o: the insurgents and
their desire to withstand official
driving will be quickly tested. White
House pressure has been directly ap-
piled to at least four insurgent SEN
ators.

Sidewalk Construction
Should Be Inspected.

The impetus which has been given
for the achievement of public i'm
lprovements during the last year or
two in Pensacola promises great
things for the beauty and welfare of
the city and satisfaction of it's cit
liens. New pavements, new side
walks, new parks and Fairgrounds
are the order of the day, to say moth
ing of handsome new buildings erect
ed either at public expense or by
private enterprise.
And it is highly desirable that
whatever work may be undertaken
should be well done; pleasing to the
eye, lasting in quality and best fit
ted to the purpose for which it may
be intended. Work of an imperfect
or sGDshod character should not be
permitted, and the proper supervising
authority should not tolerate it for
an instant
Among other improvements car
ried out by property owners at in
dividuaI expense is the laying of side
walks. The materials of which these
walks are to be built are now re-
| quired by ordinance t. be inspected
and approved before Y may be
used. This is right, because side
walks laid with poor materials are
sure to go to pieces and become I'M
| slightly, uncomfortable and even. per
haps, dangerous. But the law should
go further and provide for the inspec-
ton not only of the quality of mate
rails used but of the work itself.
! 1t. is easy enough for inexperienced
or careless worl1men to ruin the best
materials by the manner in which
| they handle them. They often fail to
use them in way to produce the
best results. This has been proven
in Pensacola, and should no longer
be permitted. The only safeguard is
to provide expert inspection of the
sidewalk construction and a certifi-
cation by city inspector that the
work has been properly done before
its acceptance by the city. It is hop
ed that the council will adopt an ord
nance covering this important point.

One cannot be true to the things

course there is love and there is

Pessimistic journalists are loud in

rascal she loved for the purpose of
reforming him, but who only aroused
his wrath and met her death at his
hands. These hopeless, harsh and
hypercritical scribes fail 20 take into
account the thousands of cases where
men have been reformed by good wo-
men through marriage. nor do they
seem to understand that all reform.
all moral evolution, has been over
the bloody cOrpses Of martyrs.

CONFUSING MOVES
 IN STOCK MARKET Fluctuations In Prices Are IT,
 regular and Narrow
TOO MUCH PROFIT TAKING
In Spite of Unsettling Factors That Appear the Market Undertone Is Good, Due to Support from
 Strong Interests.

New York, December 19.-The stock market last week reflected the shifting influences of conflicting factors in the speculation by the irregular and rather narrow fluctuations in the price move ment. The year end requirements on the money market exercised some constraint on the activity. Sentiment was respon- sive still to favorable prospects, but actual benefits accrued brought a reae- tionary tendency due to profit-taking sales and revealed the extent to which the speculation has already progressed in the discounting of events calculated to in crease values. The effect of the increase in the dividend rate on Reading was case in point. On the other hand the as- sociation of support against the effects of any unfavorable influence was taken to prove that the control of the market was strongly entrenched in the hands of the coterie of powerful capitalists which has been credited with the direction of the speculation for many months past.
 It was with the probable future plans of this element that speculative surmise and conjecture concerned themselves principally. as between a determination to push the price advance further in the coming year, or an effort to distribute heavy holdings on the first favorable op- pOrtunity afforded by an awakened gen. eral demand for stock. The fact of enor- nous distributed accumulations in the hands of the market organizations is generally assumed. An interruption to their plans for market operations during the fall by the recall of foreign credits and the policy of the Bank of England is inferred from the known course of events. Various contingencies that may serve as obstacles to the completion of those plans are taken account of in the esti- mate of the future.
 There is much discussion of the pend- ing supreme court decisions in the Amer ican Tobacco and Standard oil cases.
 The possibility of continued withdrawals of gold from New York in January is canvassed.
 The labor problem is kept in view by the formulation of demands for increased wages by railroad employees, the declara- tion of war against the United States Steel corporation by the Pittsburg labor conference and by the general considera- ton of the high cost of living. The purchase of several Independent telephone lines by J. P. Morgan X Co. kept alive the conviction that extensive capital combina- tions were still being worked out

CHILDREN MAY
 LIVE IN FLATS

Chicago, December 19.-(Special.) )-Chi- cago children have been given the right to live in any flat, apartment house or dwelling which they and their parents de- sire to occupy, and they can stay just as long as their fathers pay the rent.
 The state law, which landlords and their attorneys had laughed at, declaring 1t un- constitutional and class legislation, to prohibit their turning away tenants with children was upheld as constitutional to- day by Municipal Judge Hines.
 The case was brought on Rolla R. Long, necker's complaint that w. $. Boyleston, on assuming control of the flats at No. 511 East Sixteenth street, had refused to re- he did not care to rent to families with children. As MT. Longnecker had son 5 years old an da daughter aged B. he saw the point, but instead of submitting went to che courts.
 Judge Hines In the opinion declared that children have as much right to pro- lection as the game of the state and the game laws have been universally upheld Power placed in the hands of landlords to drive large families to hotels or dwell- ing houses both of which are beyond the purses of the majority, tends to encour- age race suicide, he hinted. Any law that will make for the comfort. of the safety and welfare of the community he de- clared, is well within the police powers of the state.
