Spoke. in Auditorium at
Denver Last Night -
Where Bryan Was Nomi-
mated a Year Ago.
URGES STATES TO
ADOPT INCOME TAX
BY Constitutional Amend
ment Making 1t Possible
in Time Of Need, 'n

Denver, Col. sept. 22.--Prosident
Taft took breakfast this morning at
Woolhurst, twenty miles south OF
Denver. with John Il. Walsh, and
left today for Colorado Springs,
where n great crowd greeted him.
He made brief speech during his
short stop there and left for Pueblo
whore he visited the State fair. The
next stop will be made at Glenwood
Springs
President Taft arrived In Denver
last night and in the Denver Audi
torium whore year ago Mr.. Bryan
was nominated as his opponent in the
presidential race, faced crowd OF
thousands that in it's noisy welcome
recalled some of the scenes of con-
vention week
President Taft, elected TO take up
the corporation tax passed as a part
OF the Payne tariff bill and to defeld
II as against the proposition to I'm
pose n direct income tax, (which he
acknowledged seemed likely TO pass
the Senate when the corporation tax
vas devised, as a compromise. The
President strongly urged that all the
States shoud adopt the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, how
ever. to make an income tax possible
In time OF need.
e The President declared that the
corporation tax was in itself the best
form OF income tax that could be
levied and pointed out that IL con-
tained many OF the best features OF
tho income tax law OF England In
urging thatth estates should vote for
the amendment to the Constitution
permitting the levy OF direct in
come tax without apportoning the
proceeds among the States according
to their proposition, the President
declared. that It would be possible so
TO amend the corporation tax as to
include within It's scope every desired
feature OF an income tax except the
levy upon incomes derived from ac--
tual salary and professional servfces.
The President said hes opposed. a
direct income tax except I'm cases or
emergency, and he believed II 10 bs
a prime fault in the Federal constf-
tuition that no provision Is mads for
= direct levy TO mcot wartime or
other extraordinary expenses. .Fe y
Mr. TAFT declared that Il was tbes
supreme court decision declaring IN
conatitutional the income tax alaw
passed by Democratic congress- dur
irg tho recent session from including
in tho coronation tax measure a pro-
vision for levy upon bonds and
stOc khold"rs. TO tax bonds would re-
salt ln tho reduction or the rate Of
Interest. which means q direct tax
upon tho individual holders Of the
bonds. and would conflict with the
decision OF the court that no direct
Tax could be levied by the national
government without resulting ap-
Dortioument OF the proceeds among
tho states.

railway station the escort lined up
on either side with barred heads and
the hundreds of people around the
depot showed a like respect. Mayor
Thompson had proclaimed Il day
or public mourning. The mayor and
councilmen acted as pallbearers.
Az st. Paul the train was met by
detachments OF all the local compa-
MES OF the national guard and an
e-cort OF police. In spite of a heavy
downpour of rain the procession to
the State capitol with the militia act
ing as escort was witnessed by thou
sands OF people
At the capitol the body was placed
in the rotunda where it will lay n
state until this afternoon, guarded by
four sergeants, four corporals and
four privates.
This afternoon the Rev. J. J. Law
ler chaplain OF the Governors staff.

sponse to inquiries that have been
pouring upon the Navy Department
Acting Secretary Winthrop made
public all of the orders that were ls,
sued to Robert f. Peary since he be
came civil engineer In the navy. T.,
october. 1881. There appears 10 have
been a popular curiosity TO learn
when Mr.. Peary was detailed 10
search for the North Pole and where
he has drawn pay during the years
that he has been engaged IN tho tash.
The orders show that eight "e1-
tended" leaves OF absence have been
given 10 Mr.. Peary Ito 20 TO the
Pole" Only one or the eight orders
directs MIN to go."witbout pay" The
orders appear to show that on all Of
the trips except one the explorer
drew the salary OF his relative ranx
as commander IN the navy on him, a
leave OF absence from April 8. 1907.
FOR three years to go abroad But this
was modified on July 2, 1908. By a
revocation Of the unexpired leave and
an assignment to the duty Of making
observations in Grant Land and
Greenland, under the coast and geo
detic survey Under the amended or
ders Peary has been entitled 70 draw

Mr.. GatOn In Town.

Mr.. James r. Cation. of Alexan-
dria. candidate for Lieutenaut-Gov.
ernor Of Virginia. was in Williams
burg Saturday. calling on bis friends
and making new ones. Mr.. Cation
IS very attractive and pleasant gen
uemen. not an old man. with the
best OF his life gone. but a vigorous.
active man.
The position OF Lieutenant Cover
nor IS purely honorary and one term
IS as much as ordinary mortals ex-
cept one ever expect or want
The exception is Mr.. Ellyson who
aspireS TO reelection.
Mr.. Cation believes that there are
TWO reasons why Mr.. Ellyson should
not aspire to the Office again. and
they are good ones. First. because
there IS no precedent for his seek
ing reelection; second. because he
IS state chairman OF the Democratic
party and as such should not be
candidate tor office while holding
that position.
Mr.. Cation got numerous pledges
or support and If the balance Of the
state IS as nearly unanimous for him
as IS this city he is already nomi-
mated.
Mr. Cation. who is ar observant|
man. said that be was charmed with
the evidences Of thrift and prosper
ity on the Peninsula. He was elad
20 see that We were developing our
resources and assuming our proper
position in the line of advancement
Mr.. Cation also feels a personal in
terest in the College and will give
her a boost whenever opportunity
affords It. That is a good man to
have as presiding officer of the Sen
ate.
