Income Tax Amendment.

While there is every reason to believe
that So per cent of the Republican voters
of Vermont are in favor Of the adoption
Of the proposed income tax amendment
Of the federal constitution. the measure
will be slaughtered beyond recognition at
the session Of the incoming Legislature
At least that would be its fate were the
measure presented today for action there
on. There will be no lobby at work for
its passage. there will be the most ener-
getic lobby action for its defeat Here s
a measure comprehending the idea that
as a man has and is having, so should
be the measure of the amount OF his
taxes; a measure designed to aid the fed
eral government in the hour of it's needs
a measure that President Taft has asked
the people of the land to enact into law.
a measure that received the earnest sup
port OF both Vermont senators in Con-
gress, and yet is doomed to fail of ap-
prevail by the Vermont legislature. \
fairer, juster, or more equitable plan OF
taxation cannot be shown, and yet be-
cause a few made rich by special legis-
latiOn object to 1t. the measure must fail
as far as Vermont counts.-tWhite River

The objection which is most frequently
raised is not to the income tax in itself. but
to the proposition of the federal govern
ment to use a source of income which
should be reserved to the states indi-
vidually.

Selma, April 27.-(Special.) 1.-The board of supervisors of Dallas county met in the office of Probate Judge F. H. Pitts this morning and appointed inspectors who will hold the bond election on Monday, May Is.
 Some weeks ago the court of county commissioners decided to submit to the people of the county the matter of deter mining whether the county should issue bonds for the building of the public roads of the county. All of the prelimi- nary arrangements for the holding of the election have now been completed with the exception of the printing of the tick ct which will be voted.
 If the people of the county vote in favor of the bond issue, bonds to the amount Af s250, 900 will be issued and used for the building of roads in the county. There Is some opposition in all parts of the coun- ty against the proposed bond issue. but it is thought that this objection will be finally overcome and that the issue will be carried.
 As soon as the state campaign is over the bond issue campaign will be pushed by those who favor the issue. It is be- lieved that s25O,OO0 will put every public road in the county in f1rst-class condition and the bonds will be issued for period of 90 years if the citizens of the county favor the issue.

NORTH ALABAMA
 CROPS BADLY HURT

Huntsville, April ecial.)-Addition- al reports from the farming communities only add to the estimates of the de- vastation that was caused by the frost and freeze of Monday morning. All cot ton that stood above the ground has been killed and farmers believe that a large proportion of the seed in the ground have been devitalized by the excessive cold.
 Many cotton planters have begun to buy seed for replanting, and they are getting them at 60 cents bushel, the cotton oil mills not having advanced the price be- cause of the farmers necessity.
 Corn growers have started the teams that they had i1itched.4 up. to blow corn that was looking promising yesterday, out blowing for replanting.
 First reports of yesterday morning in- dicated that large part of the fruit crop of this section might be safe, but later reports show that this was erroneous. The peaches have been ruined. It is believed that the freeze got them all.
 There was another heavy frost here this morning, but it is not thought pos sible that it could have added to the damage.

 Commissioner of Agriculture I. G. Huo- son estimates that the cotton crop has been damaged from 8 to 40 per cent. This, 1t is believed by others, will be found to be excessive, especially since about Q per cent of the Georgia crop is yet to be planted. The cold weather struck many of the Georgia farmers around about planting time and they have been putting 1t off from day to day for a more favor able season.
 There is no doubt. however, that both cotton and corn have been considerably damaged, but these will be immediately replanted, and it is hardly believed the result will be any material crop short age The principal damage to the farmers
