Brown on Tariff Bill.
Senator Norris Brown Of Nebraska Is in
Des Moin,s today visiting his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. W II. Brown of 1921 West
Ninth street. Il believe enough state
legislatures will pass the income tax reso-
luton TO enable the next congress to
amend the constitution to provide for a
valid income tax" said Senator Brown to-
day. Practically ali the legislatures will
meet in the winter Of 1911 and / think there
is little doubt they will pass the resolu-
ton. The tariff bill l consider as giving
substantial reduction of duties on certain
lines, as regards others II is not satisfac-
tory. l have no doubt but President Taft
will take up the matter of revising certain
schedules such as cotton and wool at the
next regular session"
