Tax Red Heads.

During the discussion in the senate
of the power of congress to levy taxes,
Senator Bailey of Texas, made this
contribution:
Il believe that congress can tax all
red-headed men engaged in a given
lire of business, if it pleases. I think
it would be a very foolish thing to do:
but I have no doubt if the tax fell upon
every red-headed man in Massachu-
sets the same as in Mississippi OF
Texas and all other states, the law i'm
posing such q tax would be perfectly
valid"

modern battleships over the United
States. England's greatest proposed
battleship. the Fondroyant. is. accord
ing to the details in the United States
naval bureau of intelligence, inferior
to the Florida or the Utah.
The report that Great Britain was
building 1875 gun has been run down
by the naval authorities here and they
state that it is not true. 1t is also
stated that there Is no foundation
whatever for the report that Germany
is building, or projecting even. five
battlcships, each of which is to carry
L. Finch guns.
II is admitted now that the United
States stands second on the list OF
naval powers. and this is largely be.
cause the United States naval relative
power depends on modern ships
against which twenty or more of the
British so.called battleships do not
count and are not to be taken into
count. because not one of them could
approach within five miles of any OF
the United States battleships even oil
the Alabama class. Above that class
In the United States are the South
Carolina, Michigan and. of course. the
American Dreadnaughts are all above
that class. In other words, the
United States has ship for ship

powerful ships than Great Britain has
built and is building for the next
