1t la to be regretted that the Leg
stature Of Virginia did not approve
the amendment OF the United Slater
Constitution permitting the impose
ton OF the Federal income tax.
Fear OF abuse Of Federal power Is
ascribed as the cause for the Legis-
lature's action. There are reasons for
this fear. OF course. but when we
cannot have the best. we do want the
better Of two conditions. The income
tax Is a good tax because It distrib-
utes the burdens of government &C
cording to ability to pay, which In
ferentially means according to the
benefits derived from government.
The tariff as source OF revenue
does not do this.--Radford Advance.

Philadelphia, Oct 26.-Swaying his
body lazily, a huge gray elephant is
eating So pounds of hay an hour in a
stable at Thirtieth street and Moya-
mensing avenue, apparently undis-
turbed at his destiny which includes
whitewashing and being presented to
Manager Mack by host of downtown
admirers of the Athletics. Much of
the JOY Mack felt at the homecoming
of his victorious team has been shat
tered by the impending elephant. He
really does not know what he is going
10 do with the beast. especially when
he is away from home on his wedding
trip next week.
In South Philadelphia some of the
most enthusiastic rOoters of the Ath-
letics live. Everyone downtown want
ed to give Mack Il present that would
interest him. So an elephant was de
cided upon and was purchased in New
York Monday and brought over here

home

the season opened he was given his

because of his trouble he could not be-
