Washington, Dec. 6.-That four
out of the FIVE states whose legisla-
lures have pronounced against the in
come tax amendment to the constitu-
ton as provided by the Payne-Alirich
tariff law will reconsider their decis-
ion and align themselves with the
states supporting the provision, is the
opinion of its author, Senator Norris
Brown, of Nebraska.
Mr.. Brown is very confident also
that the amendment will be ratified
by the legislatures of more than the
requisite three-fourths of the states
during the presen winter. Already
eight states-Alabama, South Caro-
lima, Illinois. Maryland, Kentucky.
Mississippi, Oklahoma and Georgia
have passed ratification resolutions.
New York. Rhode Island, Massach-
sets, Virginia and Louisiana have re-
fused to endorse the proposed amend
ment, but Mr.. Brown declares there Is
strong reason to believe the legis-
latures-elect of those states, with
probably one exception, will recon.

The week after election Senator
Brown wrote to all governors urging
