some other states that might be against the proposed amendment in the event of the failure of New York and Pennsylvania, which would make far more striking the relative strength of the two sides to the issue.
 It is conceded generally that @ great majority of the people of the United States are in favor of an income tax, and wish the Constitu- tion amended, but this article points out how that great majority can be defeated in detail. The question may be "up to the people" as declared; but in the count the preponderance of weight is against them greatly.
 When the Constitution of the United States was framed the wise men who gave it shape and form had just escaped the thralldom of a king. They sought to establish in the fabric of that instrument most potent safeguards against the erection of throne in the land they were guiding. However, the debates in the Constitutional con- vention and the convention leading up to ratification in 17S7 showed that the Fathers trusted the people in their collective capacity but little more than they trusted a king. So the instrument was de- vised cunningly with cheeks and balances" to prevent the people from exercising their rightful power. One of these cheeks" or "balances" is the provision with regard to amending the instrument itself. The income tax proposition as presented now shows how potent may be that system of "checks and balances" in preventing the adop- tion of wise and benefcent meas. ure that is wanted earnestly by a great majority of the people.

THE new primary election law for Arizona that was incubated and matched with so much effort and pain by the legislature last winter. is pronounced by the attorney gen. eral to be invalid and worthless. Which is cumulative proof that the genius of government resides not in the democratic party.

PRESIDENT TAFT says the new tariff suits the heads of the repub- lican party. But if it fails to suit great majority of the people the republican party may find it neces- sary to get new heads after 1912.

should that of Delaware refuse, less than two hundred thousand people in Delaware will have in the final result as much as three times the weight that nearly five million in Illinois will have. Nor has Della ware to vote in her legislature to reject the proposed amendment. If that body should fail to ratify the effect would be the same. One branch of the legislature might accept and the other reject, or fail to ratify by tie vote-the effect would be the state: the state would be counted as against ratification. Rhode Island with less than half million population can offset Ohio with nearly five million. Those two states alone, with a population of but 750,000 jointly, if they fail to ratify. will exert three times the weight of Ohio and Illinois with ten million jointly-should the lat ter stand for ratification. And in Rhode Island such is the system of representation in the legislature, the vote of the state legislature might be against representation with majority of the people favor ing it.
 In the showdown" for or against ratification twelve states voting against or failing to ratify may de- feat the proposed amendment. It is conceded that the strongest op- position to ratification will be along the Atlantic seaboard where is aggregated the greatest wealth, and where the influence of great fortunes and great business enter prises is most potent. The six New England States with total population of less than six millions are counted against the proposi- tion. New Jersey with a popula- tion of 1 1883, ,669 and Delaware with but 190,000 people may be counted against 1t also. So those eight states with a total population of 2 ,495,SS6, (census of 1900) possess two-thirds of the power that will be necessary under the Constitu- tlon to prevent ratification. But four more states will have to unite with the eight named to make the twelve necessary for defeat. New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia will be all the states necessary. Those four states are named as most likely to be suscep- tible to the influences that will be arrayed against the amendment. ] Jointly they have population of less than sixteen millions (15,717,- 853) In the foregoing enumera- ton are twelve states with a total population of 23,213,759, which can nullify the vote for amend ment of the Constitution of the thirty-three remaining states with aggregate population exceeding

The Agricultural Department ac-
credits Louisiana with five million
bushels of corn above last years
crop, and the producers down there
are talking of export to dispose of
it. The Department also gives Mis-
sissippi a shortage Of several mil
lion bushels as compared to last
year, so that we are likely to be
an importer of that cereal, while
Texas will be another corn buyer.
Our Louisiana friends will not have
to go far for customers for their sur
plus and may discard the export
idea, if the department bureau is
correct.

Their expansion in the volume of in
dustrial operations. Retail reports
are still rather irregular, excessive
heat being credited with retarding dis
tribution in some sections, but, on the
whole, sales of summer goods have
been benefited by more seasonable
temperatures.
Jobbing trade reports are slightly
better, pointing to an improvement in
recorder demand, but by far the best
reports as to distributive trade still
come from wholesale lines, which rep
resent crop reports stimulating the
placing of business for next fall and
spring delivery. The industries led
by iron and steel show expansion of
operation, larger output, some wage
advances, and more confidence Is ex-
pressed than at any preceding time

MRS. GOULD WINS HER CASE.
Granted Divorce and $4,000 Year
Alimony.

Alimony.
Mrs. Howard Gould won a sweeping
victory in her separation suit against
her millionaire husband in New York
when Justice Victor ]. Bowling from
the bench granted her a legal separa-
tion and alimony at the rate of $4,000
a year. practically 500 a day. In
voicing his decision Justice Bowling
gave Mrs. Gould a clean bill so far as
intoxication is concerned. He said
that no proof of excessive drinking
had been introduced by Howard
Goulds lawyers.
The court intimated that Mrs. Gould
under all the circumstances had been
indiscreet in her meetings with Dus-
tin Farnum, the actor, even though
there were business relations behind
them.
The decision of the court was that
Howard Gould's abandonment SO far
as concerned the proof offered. was
not only without justification in any
degree, but without provocation. The
only question which puzzled the JUS
tice was the amount of the alimony
He declared that the case was with
out precedent so far as he knew, the
husbands admitted income being in
excess of S750,000 a year
The fact that Mrs. Gould had ac-
Quired $4,000 worth of jewelry at her
husbands expense since the actual
separation was taken into considera-
tion by Justice Bowling He told How
ard Gould that if his wife returned to
the stage, an event that he did not
think likely. Gould could reopen the
case with an application to have the
alimony decreased.
