INCOME TAX

1t has been announced from Wash
'ngton that Senator Bailey is drafting
an income tax amendment which, he
believes. will obviate past Supreme
Court decisions From such a tax. If
imposed and not declared unconstitu-
tional. millions Of revenue could be ob-
tanned from sources which contribute
little to the support of the government.
1t is doubtful If such an amendment
could receive the majority necessary for
IT'S enactment in Congress. The masses
would applaud such an enactment as
being fair and responsive to the protec-
ton given to the property and to the
life of the many having incomes who
pay little If any tax on their assets
which are invisible and therefore are
not assessed.

TRAVESTY ON JUSTICE
The Old Saloon Has Acquired a Vested
Right not Possessed by the New

| The Louisiana Democrat published in
Alexandria. La, says Under the con
| struCtlon to which IT has been subjected
by the Supreme Court Of Louisiana
| three justices Concurring, Justice Land
dissenting. and Justice Nichols absent
on account of illness-the Gay -Shattuck
law is of a very discriminating cfarac-
ter. as it provides for two classes of
saloons, one of which is privileged and
the other non-privileged accordingly as
one of them may have been in business
antecedent to the first day of January
1909 while the other has only concluded
to embark in business on the latter date.
Hence, the old saloon is exempt from
any legal obligation to apply for and
obtain permit. nor is it required to OBJ
serve that section which prohibits
saloon within 900 feet of a church or
school house. while the one which seeks
a license for the first time must obey
both provisions in both letter and spirit
or suffer the penalty which these sec
tions impose for noncompliance with
them
Laws should apply to all persons
equally. without discrimination in favor
Of some and against others. as the Su-
preme Court declares to be the case with
the Gay Shattuck law. Under this con
struction the saloon doing business dur
ing 1908 has acquired vested right,
which is something new as we'll as start

As thus interpreted. thisl aw is a
