Action of Virginia Lower House

The democrats in the Virginia house of representatives repudiated the declaration of the last democratic na- tional platform relative to an income tax. and voted against the ratification of the pending amendment It is be- lieved that Senator Martin, who has long upheld the special interests in duced them to do this, aided by the ig- norance of some of the country mem bers who thought the farmers should not be compelled ito keep books
 This does not mean that Virginia will not ratify the amendment. It sim ply means that it will become lead ing issue in that state, and the belief is that a legislature will be elected that will overwhelmingly say that wealth should bear a just proportion of the burdens of government.
 The vote in the Virginia house of representatives is the first adverse vote the amendment has encountered, and no effort will be spared to undo it, for following legislature can ratify the amendment, and the adverse vote will not be considered at all.
 Viarginia needs legislators that do not take instructions from a machine boss. The friends of the income tax amendment will inaugurate, 1t is stated, a vigorous campaign, and no one need doubt how Virginia will stand on ratification in the end. She will line up with Alabama, Kentucky, South Carolina, Illinois and Oklahoma.

Philadelphia, March Slogan A. Bull lit, son of the father of Philadelphia s' charter the Bullitt bill. and himself prom inent in civil reform movements, was ar rested tonight by order of Mayor Reyburn when he endeavored to serve the mayor with a subpoena in an equity suit brought by committee of citizens against the city officials

FilaI Cial and Industrial

A better feeling has been developed in the iron centers and in the copper trade, and this in turn Is leading to improving prices for securities. The foreign trade, too, Is turning in our favor. We are importing less goods and exporting more products, notably wheat and cotton. Possibly this change will prevent gold exports alto gether.
 No one anticipates a close money market, for in the great centers money Is being put out at 1 per cent or even less for periods as long as six months. and no one anticiaptes higher rates in the immediate future.
 Bank exchanges are increasing month by month and railroad gross and net earnings in February last were in excess of those for February of last year, and yet the weather last month was very unfavorable The Steel cor poration is receiving orders at the rate of about 5O,oOO tons day. These orders come in good part from the railroads, but the orders for structural material will soon be heavy, according to present indications. In the textile markets quotations are well main- tained. No serious injuries to the win ter wheat have been substantiated Outside of the labor disturbances at Philadelphia there is nothing in the situation that is bearish, and as the weather improves people will become optimistic, and the new year will wit ness a general hum in the activities Of | a great country.

New York State Politics

The affairs of the republican party be- come more confused as the Aids investi- yation proceeds. Aids had been elected by the machine leader of the majority in the Senate, and the machine had con spired to select a successor of like com piexion and nature when Senator Root threw A bomhshell into the republican camp. MT. Root demands the selection of Senator Hinman, who is an insurgent- n Hughes man who will not obey the machine in any particular. MT Root tells the senators at Albany that the se- lection of any man as leader other than Senator Hinman spells defeat next No yember. and this broke up the confer ence and spoiled the plans of Woodruff ,,arres and Wadsworth, that trio of ma chine leaders in New York at present.
 The Aids investigation grows worse rather than better, and Governor Hughes is determined to go back to a corpora ton practice in New York city. The machine is sorely distressed, and in the meanwhile the Osborne reform dem ocrats are organizing to sweep the state in November, when a governor is to be elected, and a legislature that will name chauncey Depew's successor in the Sem ate at Washington.
 A democratic victory in New York this fall would have strong bearings on the general contest in 1912. It would in short start a movement that would prove over. whelming. All eyes are turned, there fore, toward New York with occasional side glances at Ohio and Indiana.

Last of the Machine Bosses

The long ,ine of republican bosses head

 Hama and Matthew Quay. is ended by the death Of Thomas c. Platt, who had
 become incapacitated by old age. Ile outlived his great power, for he once con- trolled the politics of his state as a boy controls his kite, and to no small extent his will was felt in national politics. He made governors and senators, and his greatest achievement was the making of Theodore Roosevelt. He did not like Roosevelt, who had become governor of New York He did not like him because he could not control him, and when Me Kinley was nominated for president In 1fo0. and all eyes in the convention were turned toward New York for a candi- Hate for vice president Platt brought out Roosevelt at the psychological moment, ead he was nominat ted and was forced by the will of the party to accept the rominaticn, although he had repeatedly declared he would not be shelved in any
