TNCONE TAX FIGHT.
attempt to Offset Governor
Hughes's Message Planned.
From The Tribune Bureau

washington Feb. S-Advocates of an
income tax have decided to make DEM
onstratian in the Senate to offset the
effect of Governor Hughes's message ad-
yising against the ratification OF the pro-
nosed constitutional amendment Ihey
realize that great weight has been given 10
the arguments Of the New York Governor
that. according to the phraseciosy OF the
pending amendment, Congress would nave
mower to tax incomes derived from state
bonds and other municipal securities, ana
they feel that unless some counter move
is made the required number of states Will
not ratlfv the amendment. 1t Is perfectly
we'll understood here by supporters OF an
income tax that the arguments OF Governor
Hughes will be potential in moulding public
oninion against the proposed Amendment III
many states.
The first speech in opposition TO the
,iews expressed by Governor Hughes WIZ
be made on Friday by Senator Borah' OF
idaho who is a member OF the Committee
on the judiciary It is expected that Sen
ators Cummins, Bailey and others will dis
o,,es TINS question. Mr. Borah was one Of
+ba nrincinal advocates of the income tax
amendmenI to the tariff law, and sun
maintains that a valid income tax law can
Re nassed without amending the Constltu-
-. oS He insists that the use of the words
.fror, Uhatever source derived in the pro-
posed constitutional amendment would not
give the federal government authority 10
fax the incomes from state bonds.
The following resolution was introduced
to-day by Mr.. Borah and was ordered 10
lie on the table subject to call:
Resolved, That the Committee on the
Judiciary be and it is hereby directed 70
repvrt TO the Senate as early may be
nractica Bile whether. in the opinion of the
committees the proposed amendment 10 the
CONSTITUTION Nf the United States. SUB
nitted for RATIFICATION TO the states at the

congress to lay tax upon incomes de-
rived from state bonds and other municipal
.ecurities, or would authorize Congress 10

On February Commander Peary, in
behalf of the Peary Arctic Club, pro-
posed to the National Geographic So
ciety the fitting up of a joint expedi-
ton TO reach the South Pole. The club,
he said, would contribute the Roosevelt,
provided the society would assume re-
sponsibility for the first $4,000 of the
cost Of the expedition. All expenses
above that sum should he provided
equally by the two organizations, the
total cost being estimated at between
$4,000 and 100000.
1t was proposed that the expedition
should start next fall, and reach Coats
Land about March, 1911. This is
directly opposite the base of the British
South Pole expedition. under Captain
Scott 1t was hoped that by following
this course the South Pole might be
reached by December 81. 1911. One OBJ
ject of the expedition is to be the ex-
ploration of Wilkes Land.

w. Boucher, general manager of
the Park Center Land and Irrigation
company. returned home few days
ago from an inspection trip to the
reservoir, now being constructed by
the company on Upper -Four Mile
creek, thirty miles north of this city.
Although there is a large amount of
snow in the territory contiguous to
the reservoir, Mr.. Boucher says it is
melting rapidly and that fully a hun
dred cubic feet of water per second
was passing down the channel of
Four Mile creek at the time of his
visit to the reservoir site
The impounding dam, which will be
one of the most.notable constructions
of the kind in this portion of the
state, is located on the Falkner ranch,
twelve miles west of Cripple Creek.
A large amount of work has already
been done in connection with the res
srvoir and considerable amount of
water for irrigation purposes is al
ready held in storage there. When
completed the dam will be seventy
six feet high, two hundred and eighty
eight feet broad at the bottom and
four hundred feet long. Its upper
surface will be sloping and will be
concreted TO give it strength and SOL
idity. II is being built after the most
approved engineering plans and will
be able to Withstand many times the
pressure that will be brought against
IL when the reservoir is full of water.

Will be given over to the cadets for

The purpose of the encampment is
to give the cadets an opportunity to

healthful, ou;-of-door exercise: to in
