Given the power TO collect income

which invariably occur upon a moditi-
cation of our tariff system.
Practice Elsewhere.
The Federal government has long
needed system OF taxation like this
to increase or reduce it's revenue
promptly and efficiently. without bust
ness arrangements. Most OF the large
governments of the world possess this
power and collect much revenue from
this source.
No substantial reason exists why our
government should be deprived OF the
power of imposing tax so just and
so fair. 1t must be presumed that the
Federal government in ne exercise OF
this power Will s.be reasonable and
have the utmost regard for the rights
aud best interests OF the States. 1t is
an unwarranted fright 10 innmgine
that Congress Conc house OF which
consists of Representatives. elected
from districts fixed by the Lcgisla
lures OF the States. and the other con-
sistinS of Senators elected directly to
represent their respective States)
would. in the imposition OF taxes under
this proposed amendment. permit any
burdens or legislation which would be
destructive of either the rights or
best interests OF the States. The con-
stituencies controlling Congress. under
our system OF government would pre-
clude the possibilities Of any such
danger.
Many other cogent reasons readily
present themselves for comforting upon
the Federal government the power
contained In the proposed constitu-
tional amendment.
l earnestly recommend that the
General Assembly of Virginia promptly
grant Its approval of the proposed
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton, Respectfully submitted,
CLAUDE A. SWANSON.

GOVERNOR FAvORS
TAX ON INCOMES
Recommends That Legislature
Approve Constitutional
Amendment.

Following is the text OF the special
message sent yesterday b. the Gov
ernor to the General Assembly:
To the General Assembly or Virginia.:
! have the honor to transmit here
with duly certified copy of the reso-
luton of the Congress of the United
States proposing an amendment 20
the Constitution OF the United Safes.
to be submitted to the Legislatures OF
the various States for consideration. in
pursuance of the provisions of the
Federal Constitution.
The resolution and proposed amend
ment Is as follows:
Resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America, in Congress assem-
bled (two-thirds of each house con-
curing therein), That the following
article Is proposed as an amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States, which. when ratified by the
Legislatures of three-fourths of the
several States, shall be valid TO ali
intents and purposes as part of the
Constitutions:
Article 16. The Congress shall have
power to lay and collect taxes on in
comes. from whatever source derived,
without apportonment among the
several States, and without regard to
any census or enumeration
The effect of the proposed amend
ment is TO confer upon tho Federal
government the power to impose and
collect revenue upon incomes, There
has existed much difference of opinion
as to whether, under the present Con-
sttution. the Federal government is
possessed of such power. The Federal
government for many years collected
much revenue from this source. Some
years ago the Supreme Court of the
United States, by a divided court, de-
cided that the Federal government had
cision has left the matter vague. in
definite and uncertain, and entirely
dependent upon judicial Interpretation
and decision. The Supreme Court may
at any time reverse It's last decision
upon this matter. as the members con-
stltuting the court are being constant
~ changed. 1T Is OF the utmost i'm
portance that 1T should be determined
clearly and explicitly whether tho
Federal government is, possessed of
this power.
Demand ar simple Justice.
The proposed amendment Will ac-
complish this end. 1T Will confer
upon the legislative power OF the gov
eminent the power to collect such
taxes unrestrained by a changing
court. It will remove the Supreme
Court OF the United States. on this
subject, from the arena of political
contention and strife. This Is a re-
suit greatly to be desired, BESIDES,
Justice and fairness demand that the
Federal government should not only
have the power but should also col-
lect a large part of its revenue by a
fair tax upon incomes The eNpendi-
lures OF the Federal government are
rapidly increasing each Year. At pres
emit most OF It's vast revenue Is coll
3iected by tax upon consumption---
thus the nsople are taxed on what they
need, not on what they possess. A
fair system OF taxation should bol
basea on the abundance Of The people

DEEP SEATED COUGH.
CURED IN FIVE HOURS.
New IIonic-r1ndr syrup.
CGut this ott.)

Progress In medical compounds
never ceases, and now 1t is stated by
a prominent medical man that any
deop-scated cough or cold on the
lungs can be actually cured IN five
hours by the clock. Opium and NOR
Prime have been resorted to In the
past as relief measures. But now IT
IS learned that the system must be
treated to rid 1t OF Inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough
syrup does the work so quickly and
thoroughly as to be almost magical.
What heretofore has taken weeks to
cure can be accomplished in hours.
Set this formula filled or mix 1t at
home and always keep 1t on hand:
one-half ounce fluid wild cherry
bark, one ounce compound essence
cardiol and three ounces syrup white
pine compound. Shake the bottle and
take twenty drops every half hour for
four hours. Then take one-half to
one teaspoonful three or four times
a day until the system is purified and
tones up. Give children less accord
ing to age. One filing Will usually
cure whole family, as the dose is
small.
