PURELY A TECHNICAL AND
INTELLECTUAL CREATION
Senator Browns Comment on Gov
Hughes Criticism of Proposed In
come Tax Amendment.

NEW YORK. January Ex-senator Nor
ris Brown of Nebraska told the members
of the Twenty-Four Carat Club. an Or
ganization of jewelers.. last night why
lie disagrees with Gov. Hughes criticism
Of the proposed income tax amen0ment
That amendment, said Senator Brown.
proposes to give the federal government
the power. possessed by every other civil
lied nation on earth. to tax the in
comes OF the country when the necessity
arises.
Il deem the New York argument
against it dangerous. because it is plaus-
ibe and insidious in it's appeal to state
pride. This is the argument: The gov
eminent should have the power to tax
incomes. but the pending amendment
had been rejected because it fails to ex-
empt those incomes arising from invest
ments in state and municipal bonds. and
would. therefore. impair the borrowing
power Of the state.
Remember, the amendment proposes
no tax. The only purpose it has is to
confer on the government the power to
tax Whether that power shall be eX-
ercised depends on the will of the people.
Therefore. l say the New York argument
lacks conscience. 1t is purely a technical
and Intellectual creation

"
Hayre de Grace will play the home
team here tomorrow afternoon, and as a
victory for the visitors would tie them for
first place with Rising Sun, the game
gives promise of being full of excitement.
Both teams are. playing fast ball, with
their eyes on the pennant, and no doubt
the attendance will be large. Every loyal
rooter should turn out and encourage the
home team, as they are, putting up a great
fight for that flag and deserve the enthusi-
astic support Of every patron of the game.
Turn out and root for victory.
According torreports the treatment ac-
corded the Oxford team at Havre de
Grace on Saturday reflects little credit on
that town or club management. During
the progress of the game the club house
was entered, gold watch and chain, and
other articles belonging to Oxford players
stolen and clothing mutilated. After the
game bats belonging to the visiting team
were thrown over the fence and the visit
ing player subjected 70 all sorts of indig-
mites at the hands Of Havre de Grace
hoodlums.

Time I

, No wonder time is represented as hag-.
gard and worn out. A watch keeps time,
the chorister beats time, the clock strikes
time, trains run on time, horses against
time, people theaten to do things on time
if they ever get time. at prize fight they
call time, soldiers mark time, criminals,
serve time, few can spare time. everyone
now and then tries to kill time, perhaps
your subscription is behind time, if you
would pay up on time we would have
good time.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

We take this opportunity of an- nouncing to our many friends and patrons that after April 1st, we will discontinue altogether our delivery service, having recently entered into a contract with the Pine Bluff De- livery Company to handle practically the entire output of our product 1'HIX ICE.''
 This feature of our business has al- ways been disadvantageous to us and has been very expensive for Us to maintain, and we believe that the ar rangement effected between ourselves and the New Company will be mutu- ally profitable and far more satisfac- tory to the general public than our old method of handling this particu- lar department of our business.
 We desire to state that we have thoroughly investigated the ability of the New Company to render the public good and dependable service We know that they will be we'll equipped and have every facility to
