LEGISLATURE Will TAKE Up
The INCOME TAX AMENDMENT

one of the issues likely to come up
before the next session of the Michi-
gan legislature is the proposed six
tenth amendment to the constitution
to empower congress, to lay an income
tax without apportionment among the
states, as the constitution now pro-
vids.
The amendment reads as follows:
ARTICLE XVI-The congress
shall have power to lay and col
lect taxes on incomes from what
ever source derived, without APP
portionment among the several
states, and without regard to any
census or enumeration.
This was passed by congress by the
required two thirds majority in July
1909, and so far IL states have taken
action on il. II was ratified i'm eight
of them and rejected i'm three Thirty
Ave states are still to be heard from,
among them Michigan. The amend
ment must be ratified by three-fourths
VI lllt ONlbif IL Ns'ii ''''NN
Charles Flowers of Detroit, member
OF the last Michigan legislature ana
candidate for reelection, says the
amendment has not come up for dis
cussion so far but will undoubtedly
be considered in the next session.
II cannot say what action the leg
islaturc is likely to take on IT," he
said. This has never been a live is
sue in Michigan and we have never
had an expression from the people up
on it, @
The constitutional amendment was
made necessary by the decision Of the
supreme court declaring the Income
Tax Act of 1894 unconstitutional on
the ground that the tax was not APP
portioned among the states according
to pulation as provided in Article j.
Section 9, OF the constitution. The
opinion of the judges on this act wan
very much divided the vote of the
court standing five to four.
The income tax was first levied IN
the United States in 1862 as a war
measure and fproduced a large revenue

unpopular and Migrant methods OF

II is confidently believed in Laur-
ium that the improvements now being
made ON the town hall will result in
such n betterment of the sanitary
conditions, that the hall will onlce
more be In demand for parties and
Entertainments and the village will
leriye "a good rental from it. The

permanently remedied until the viii
lage secures a new fire hall. 1t is be-
ileved the changes under way will re-

The committee named at the last
regular meeting of the council con

Inspector John Stetter, to investigate
he need of additional fire alarm boxes
in different parts of the town, will take
up this matter tomorrow and will visit
the sections where II is believed the
Improvement will be most needed. II
is thought likely that two additional
boxes will be recommended, both IN
the northeast part of the town. One
of these will probably be located on
the corner OF First and Iroquois
streets.
Work on the streets has been prac-
tically discontinued in Laurium, be-
cause of the fact that Is almost inn
possible to secure trap rock for the
nacadamizing of the roads. Iroquois
and Florida strets have now beer
graded and the work cannot be com
pleted until more trap rock Is avail
able.

of the fact that w. r. Oates OF Lau-
rum, received the nomination as

ceived IL and Mr.. Lucas o. Both Of

A BIG GRAFT FUND
Probe Into Lobbying Methods
of Insurance Concerns
Startling.
QUIZ NOT YET FINISHED
american News Service)


New York, March 26.-The Hotchkiss
investigation into the lobbying meth
DDS of fire insurance interests will
show that the yellow pup fund was
fully 100000, according to statements
made today by persons connected with
the investigation. From 1901 to 1906
the insurance companies, it is charged,
spent 100000 in thanks offerings"
and other contributions to legislators.
Investigations so far, though barring
100000 yellow pup" expended, has
not begun in earnest, it is declared.
With Insurance Supt. Hotchkiss in
Albany today, for the week end, the
principal characters in the case have
a needed breathing spell. The hear
ings will be resumed Monday, however,
and it is believed that developments
even more startling will follow closely.
One of the first witnesses to be call
ed Monday is E. A. Brown, of Middle
town. According to G. F. Seward,
president of fidelity and casualty
company. a man named Brown, con-
nected with Singsing prison, declared
at private dinner given in the prison,
that Big Tim" Sullivan, the Tammany
leader, would help to kill a certain
bill for $4,000.
