faithful president who was not

that she was not a novice in that
line. She also read paper, the

There is another passage

There is another passage of
scripture of great significance in
the new version of the Bible to
the 800, 900 w. c. T. u. workers
where it says:
Thou hast given a banner to
them that fear thee that it may
be displayed because of the truth
and the women that publish the
tidings are q great host. "
They proclaim in their teach

than upon saving the individual,

Important Matter Will Be Considered
at Next Session-Already Acted On

claring For II.
Question Never Live Issue in Mich.
igan and Action of Law Makers
Is Uncertain.

One OF the issues likely to come NJ
before the next session of the Michi
gan legislature Is the proposed six
teenth amendment TO the constitution
10 empower congress to lay an income
tax without apportionment among the
states, as the constitution now pro
vides.
The amendment reads as follows:
ARTICLE xvl.-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 In eigh,
OF them and rejected In three. Thirty
five states are still to be heard from
among them Michigan. The amend
ment must be ratified by three-fourlhs
Of the states before IL can take effect
Charles Flowers, member OF the last
Michigan legislature. and a candidate
for reelection, says the amendment
has not come up for discussion 40 far
but will undoubtedly be considered In
the next session.
II cannot say what action the leg
:slature Ia likely TO take on it, he
said. This has never been live Is
sue I'm Michigan and We have never
had an expression from the people
upon It,"
The constitutional amendment was
made necessary by the decision or the
supreme court declaring the Income
| Tax Act OF 1894 unconstitutional On
the ground that the tax was not a.
portioned among the states according
10 population as provided In Article L.
section 2, OF the constitution. The
opinion OF the judges on this act was
very much divided, the vote OF the
court standing five to four.
The income tax was first levied "
the United States In 1862 as war
measure and produced large revenue
J as Il was supported by public opinion
After the war. however, IL became very
unpopular and fragrant methods oil
evading 1t became the general prac'
tice. II was finally repealed
The act of 1894 never went into
force. the decision OF the supreme
court having been rendered before the
date set for taking effect. The income
brax then became a dead issue until
taken up In the presidential messages
during Roosevelt's second ADMINISTERS
ton. The proposed amendment Is
result OF the agitation started at that
time.

THE STAGE

Odiva, THE Venus OF the Deep"
and Samoan pearl diver, will be the
big feature at the Temple Theater
and possesses a complexion like ivory
and the form Of a Venus. Odiva was
reared on the Samoan Islands with
native children as playmates and
participated in their frolic and pas
times. She rode the surf more dar-
ingly and with greater skill than any
native islander, and was always
selected by the tribal chieftan to en-
terrain the visitors OF the port with
her aquatic feats. Odiva has wrested
from the subterranean caverns Of
Samoa, pearls and precious gems to
the value of thousands of dollars. On
the Temple stage. she will perform
thrilling feats of diving and swim
ming in a mammoth glass tank, which
IL rolled out upon the stage, not sunk
beneath as was the Kellerman tank.
Every movement Of the shapely
Odiva, in the water, Is visible to the
audience.

best Of a number of burlesque at

the principal owners of the show
are both well-known as actors, the
latter being especially well remem-
bered for his work In Hebrew char.
acters. The big features of the

Notable among the big singing and
dancing numbers Is one called 1.-The
