Harmon, accused by Senator T. p.
Gore with having offered him a
$4,000 bride to influence legislation
in congress for the sale of Okla
homa Indian lands, took the stand
before the congressional investiga-
ton committee today.
Chairman Burke of the investi-
cation committee authorized the
statement that Vice President
Sherman would not be summoned
to appear before the committee.
It was stated that no evidence had
been introduced TO show that Mr..
Sherman could throw any light on
the investigation.
Harmon entered general de-
NAL of Senator Cores charges
that he offered the senator $685.
600 or any other amount to "put
through" the s3O,0O0,0OO land deal.

and said he was in washington

F. Creager an interest" in the

The witness said he had intend

Haskells attorney to remain there.
That was the telegram he said
which Senator Gore referred to as
having come from J. c. McMurray,
and which, as the senator declared,
prompted hurried conference and
offer of bribery. AS a matter OF
fact, said Harmon, he had not
seen McMurray for a year prev
iously. The witness said he occu-

gresham Mcguire OF Oklahoma,

ANorHER LAW rNEFFEcrWE.

The strike Of the trainmen and con-

Vermont railways illustrates anew the
lack of any adequate law or agreement
bv which labor troubles may be settled
without resort to strike. Attention has
frequently been called recently to the
Canadian law which provides board Of
cancellation and 70 which all disputes
must be submitted before a strike can
occur. In this instance, at least, the
law was ineffective in preventing a strike
and is apparently no stronger, and prob
ably not 30 strong, as agreement between
parties that there shall be no strike
pending settlement of differences.
This Is to be regretted, as the Canadian
law had been looked TO as a possible
means Of solving this vexed question.

Current Comment
The Income Tax.

J. A. DeBoer believes IN the principle
Of the income tax. He does not believe,
however, that the federal government
should lay it for It's own benefit, but
that the right should be reserved to
the states as necessary and proper
source of revenue. He has novel prop
osition-that the national government
should raise the tax and then divide IT
back among the states This, we sup.
pose, would insure uniform rate and
fair treatment. II Is hardly likely that
the government would care to do this
without liberal commission, which
would amount to quite a revenue. The
richer states would not enjoy contribut-
ing directly for the benefit Of poorer
states, II the divisions were made on
basis Of population. If each state were
to receive back just what 1t paid, less
the expense Of collecting, IT would
amount to a state tax, imposed by the
federal government without the consent
OF the states. We do not understand
whether Mr.. De13oer fayors the pending
constitutional amendment, to be acted
upon this fall, or another with the fea
ture incorporated that he outlines. The
present indication is that Vermont will
follow the example Of most eastern
states amd reject the amendment. Ran

Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those
That Are Shallow
The density Of sen water depends
upon the quantity OF saline matter Il
contains. The proportion is generally
about or per cent, though II varies
IN different places. The ocean con
tains more salt In the southern than
In the northern hemisphere. and the
Atlantic contains more than the Pa
cihc. The greatest proportion OF salt
In the Pacific Is IN the parallels OF ~
degrees north latitude and II degrees
south latitude. Near the equator II is
less, and in the polar seas it is least,
from the melting OF the ice.
The sadness varies with the seasons
in these regions, and the fresh water,
being lighter. IL uppermost Rain
makes the surface OF the sea fresher
than the interior parts. and the influx
OF rivers renders the ocean less salt
at their estuaries.
Deep seas are more saline than those
that are shallow. and inland seas COM
municating with the main are less salt,
from the rivers that dow into them.
To this, however the Mediterranean
IS an exception. owing to great evnp-
Grafton and the influx Of salt currents
from the Black sea and the Atlantic.

times as salt as that at the surface
