INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

DeAAoCidts OIL the country are
jubilant over the action of the House Of
Representatives in adopting a resolu-
ton submitting for the ratification OF
the states an income tax amendment
to the constitution. Every Democrat
in the House voted for it, and only
fourteen Republicans voted against it.
Now the matter is in the hands Of the
people and II they fail through their
representatives in the various state
legislatures to ratify the resolution
they will have only themselves to
blame. 1t requires three fourths Of the
states to ratify, and then the Supreme
Court cannot, as before, pronounce the
income tax unconstitutional Twelve
states, however, can prevent the ra.i-
fication, and the representatives from
seven states in Congress voted against
the submission Of the amen iment.
Whether or not the legislatures Of
twelve states can be influenced by the
opponents of the income tax, time alone
viii determine. 1t is certain that the
capitalists Of the country will leave no
stone unturred to thwart the will Of
the people who have been taxed heavily
through high protective tariff, while the
wealthy have escaped lightly in con-
tributing to the support of the govern
ment. The rich men of the East, who
have been the real beneficiaries Of the
tariff for many years, will do every
thing in their power to prevent the
passage Of the income tax amendment,
and it behooves the press to watch their
actions closely and Illustrate their de-
signs. 1851
. The Democratic! party, in it's national
PLATFORM has been always in favor Of
an income tax to tighten the burdens
borne by the: people, and it looks as if
the Republican party with President
Taft at it's head is also in favor Of
It, The fact that only fourteen Repub-
licans, FIVE of whom are members of
the ways and means committee voted
against theresolution is sufficient proof
that Republicans, no less than Demo-
Gratis believe in making the rich sup
port the government in future.
:. Congressman Payne as. might be ex-
pected, assailed the measure and said 1t
was tax upon the incomes Of honest
men. Congressman Clayton said that
"a ov.AI
tax the millionaire II would" he ex-
claimed, amid Democratic applause,
get your William Waldorf Astors in
the light, who have millions of incomes
and live abroad. / would get the Laird
of Khibo or 'Skebo or whatever you
may call It,"

side was heard to say.
WELL" replied Mr.. Clark. those
who help to make hoboes in this coun-
try g.. a..
1t is said by some organs Of public
opinion that because the United States
senate unanimously passed the resolu-
ton to submit the amendment au-
thorizing an income tax, it is an indica-
ton Of insincerity, and that such a
measure to raise revenue should origin
ate in the house. Be that as it may, it
is now up to the people to see that no
backward step be taken. The fight be-
tween democracy and plutocracy will

ing their due share to the support Of

TO PROTECT FISH AND GAME
New State Association-Dr. Ross is

New State Association-Dr. Ross is
 on Executive Committee.
 The Connecticut Fish and Game Protective Association filed articles of incorporation at Hartford on Sept. 17th, 1909.
 The objects of this Association are: To prevent and enforce suitable laws for the protection and preservation of fish and game, game song and insectivorous birds, and to disseminate information relating thereto: to encourage and assist in restocking the quail, that the severe winters of 1903-4 almost entirely killed: to assist in stocking the streams with fngerling trout: to encourage the form ation of local protective clubs and their utilization with the State Association and distribute posters and notices in various languages giving the fish and game laws: to assist the game wardens in the faithful performance of their duties.
 In order to carry on an Association tf this character it is necessary to have the general support not only of the men who are actively interested in it, but of the general public and particularly the farmers, and must have a constant growing membership.
 Associations of this character have proven themselves invaluable to other States, and Connecticut for some time has felt the need of it.
 Local Associations throughout the State should affiliate themselves with the State Association in order that they may work in harmony and obtain the end that every Fish and Game Associa- tion is working for.
 The Annual Meeting was held at the Capitol Building at Hartford OH Septem- Der 10th, when officers were elected.
 On the executive committee appears the name of pr. Ross, of Canaan.

That position he held but nine months. returning then to Philmont, where he became clerk in large grocery store. In the mean time Cupid had been camping on young MT.

He served them continuously for eleven years. In 1908, Bullock, Felten and Mir. Vosburgh ac- quired control of that store, but after a period of six months MT. Vosburgh with drew from the firm, selling his interest therein to Messers Bullock and Felten. In October, 1908, MT. Vosburgh left this village and went to Pine Plains. N.

sons hack and strike as if guided by mere muscular instinct; but now and then one finds a man who picks his hoe or rake with as much care as he chooses n walking-stick who files the blade Co shape to suit, and who uses the tool with deftness and discrimination.
 But, it k the contact with the soil and what grows out of it, that desire chiefly to emphasize, because this con. tact is worth the while of any intelli. gent man. One acquires a sense of do- minlon in the use of these tillase tools that he scarcely gains in any other way. This is especially true in these times when we have learned to place so great importance on the features of different individual plants, choosing particular plant as parent in order that we may produce a generation more to our liking One can not do this work of improving new plants unless he comes very closely into relation with the different plants themselves. Flowing takes one into, contact with the soil and tho plants.
 Much more attention has been given, to the perfecting of horse-hoes than tc hand-hoes. In fact, there Is very little to choose among the manufactured hand-hoes except in size, weight and perhaps the hang" of the handle. Now and then some freak hoe is put ou the. market, and it soon disappears. But we much need many notifications of the implement, using the common historic hoe us basis. It is, of course, an indi. cation of a gross lack of skill that DOT. sons do not discriminate in hoes aud doa- not demand that the manufacturers pro- duce variety in patterns; but if hoes for different uses were available, it would Sesm as if the demand for them ought gradually to develop, Some years ago n good lover of the soil, writing as A. B. Farryer i'll an American magazine, illuss. trated and described n variety of garden tillage weapons. reproduced his des-. criptions in a gardening book. But the, idea still needs developing. A real, gar dening nature-lover should be able to Ind in his rack one hoe tool for hartl ground aud one for soft ground, one for. thick. planted areas and one for open, areas, one for destroying young weeds MT. Tarryer called one of his hoes 'in-- tant damnation'O and another for the big weeds and the sod, one for surface work and one for deep digging. Thsrc Is no good reason, as far as can see. why farm boy should not be allowed the opportunity to have hoe of his own as he has steel.trap or buggy whip of hls own. l know a farmer who for nearly fifty years used one hoe for cer- tain kinds of work. Hc knew the his tory of the implement; and his fingers had worn grooves in the handle SO that. the tool fitted him. This hoe ia now laid away as one of the choice posses sions of his old age.
 A hand. d.tillage tool that it is pleasure t) own and to handle should at once ex- tend ones contact with the soil; and \ hold that this contact is worth making iu the interest of good health, of whole some entertainment and recreation, of the accomplishment of useful work, and. as part in good education.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN
Pertinent Paragraphs of Interest to
 Country Folk.

Pertinent Paragraphs of Interest to
 Country Folk.
 Behold the leaves on hill and dale Brave veterans of September's gale; October victims scared and brown, Whirling and circling seek the ground.
 A bruised apple is spoiled apple
 Fruit that goes to waste is money dropped through knothole.
 Look all the ladders over before you begin to pick fruit. Rounds can be mended easier than llmbs
 Iris too late to set strawberry plants Ill the North, but entrants, gooseberries and blackberries may be planted now if you mulch them-well.
 If the strawberry bed isn't "clean as a whistle" when it goes into winter quarters this fall. you won whistle very loudly over your berries next June
 Fruit stones for sowing should 6 washed clean and placed in boxes of damp sand until wanted. It is very essential to keep the stones moist fro,1 gathering to sowing time. Planting may be done in late fall or early spring.
 Currants and gooseberries may be pruned as soon as the leaves fall Or the work can be left until early spring. Out back one-third of this years growth, and thin out surplus, diseased or un- thrifty shoots. Old bushes may have two-thirds of the present years growth removed. Do not prune the new canes of raspberries and blackberries until spring; the old canes should have been cut out long ago. It is too early to prune grapevines.
 Picking apples: It is best not to pick winter fruit during very warm days. Do the work before ten o'clock in the morning, or wait until cooler day. More hints: Never pick fruit while it is wet, nor pack it while it is warm. Some careful growers pick their orchard mo, e than once, gathering tbe fruit as soon as it is we'll colored, leaving the poorly cOlured and immature fruits until they have become we'll colored. Pick apples with the stems on. Keep the sun away from picked fruit. Fruit keeps and ripens best in a COOL dark. place. If you store fruit in cellar or storage room, keep the windows open nights and shut them during the daytime; thus you can get the temperature down and keep it so until winter comes
