MADISON. Wis, June e.
Editorially speaking. Senator La

cTlilclse IN the attitude Of Presl-

general and the presidents attitude
toward Senator Aldrch on the pro-
posed income tax in particular.
Under the leader "Taft's Service TO
Aldrlch." IN la Follette's weekly. Is
sued today. the Wisconsin senator
says
The presidents recent message
TO congress was inopportune and not

been a great help 10 the band Of
progressives making a fight IN Boz
half Of the public interest and for
the maintenance Of party pledges,

The article says that the income
tax was an independent proposition
and some Of the senators who voted
with him on the tariff refused 10
follow Aiddch's leadership against
this measure.
"Mr Taft had said in his speech
of acceptance that In his judgment.
an amendment to the constitution

sary.H continues the article. In
his special message to congress. tho
president stated that he had chang
