SIX STATES FAVOR INCOME TAX


Five Reject. Two Postpone--Final
Result in Three Years,
Washington, June Six states
thus far through their legislatures
have ratified the income tax amend
ment to the constitution, Ave have re-
jected It and two have postponed ac-
tion.
Most of the states will act during
the coming winter or the winter fol-
lowing, and the fate of the amendment
will be definitely known In two or
three years at the very latest. II IL
states vote adversely on the amend
ment It will be defeated, but 1t re-
mains to be seen whether IL states will
venture into the opposition column.
Friends Of the income tax express
the fullest confidence that the amend
ment ultimately will be adopted, and
believe that one or two Of the states
now on record against It will reverse
their attitude when new Legislatures
are chosen.
The six states that have voted to
ratify this amendment are Alabama,
South Carolina, Illinois, Maryland,
Kentucky and Mississippi. The states
voting adversely are New York, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, Virginia and
Louisiana, while Georgia and New
Jersey have postponed a vote until the
next session Of their legislatures.
Senator Norris Brown, Of Nebraska,
who has kept close tab on the income
tax fight, and who was one Of the fore
most advocates Of the income tax
while the tariff bill was before congress
last session, predicts that the income
tax amendment will be part Of the
constitution within three years. He
believes that more than three -fourths
Of the states will support IL, and says
Il will be indorsed In every state
where the income tax 10 made a politi-
cal issue In the legislative campaign.
He comedies that Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware and some Of the New
England states will be among the OPP
position, but all Of this was expected
when the fight opened. New York,
however, he believes will In the end
fall in line and vote to ratify the
amendment.
According 10 Senator Brown, all the
states Of the West without exception.
will ratify the income tax amendment,
most Of them during the coming Win
ter. He predicts also that the South
ern states will ratify Il within two
years. Virginia failed TO ratify be-
cause the speaker Of the virginis: house
was able TO bring about an adverse
vote. This vote, Brown believes, may
be reversed, particularly II the income
tax Is made an issue In Virginia. The
same thing may be done In Msssschu-
sets. though the chances there are not
particularly favorable, he opines.

Spring CoIonlst Travel Breaks All
Previous Records.

Previous Records.
Chicago, June 6.-During the brief
period between March and April Is,
this spring, between $1,000 and SO, 900
colonists, according to the various rail-
road managers, found new homes In the
Pacific Northwest, in California, Idaho.
Montana, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and
Wyoming.
The spring movement OF. colonists is
regarded as having broken the record
of the spring Of 1909 by from 10 to 20
per cent. With the exception Of fig
ures which were prepared by the man.
agement Of the Hartman lines, all fig
ures of the colonist movement into
the Northwest are estimates. The fig
ures presented by the Hartman lines
may be regarded as conservative and
as being close TO the actual movement.
Corresponding figures over the Bur-
lington, the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern could not be obtained,
as no detailed account is made Of such
movement. The figures Of the Har-
riman lines show that during the six
weeks of the spring movement total
of 16, 542 persons found homes in the
various states and territories mem
toned. During the same period Of
1909 only 13,947 colonists moved
through the various gateways fed by
the Hartman roads. This is an in
crease for the six weeks Of 1886 col
onists, or approximately l6 per cent.
This comparison, however. does not
tell the whole story, as the movement
during 1909 continued IL days longer
than the present movement. Reduced
rates were In effect last year from
March I TO April 80. For some reason
unexplained the railroads decided this
year 10 reduce the colonist period from
two months TO six weeks. According
ly, comparison can be made only be-
tween the entire period this year and
the corresponding six weeks Of the
eight weeks period Of 1909. The in
crease In the total movement Of the
entire period this year was not sufii-
cient. however. 10 make the move
ment greater than that Of last year.
