RATIfY INCOME TAX
New York Senators Pass Res
olution After Debate of
Ten Hours
ONLY A BARE MAJORITY

fOte Iii faNOr OF the Amendment,
Making Final Ballot 26 to 2O-Var.
iOus Devices introduced to Delay
Action on the Matter.
Albany, N. Y, Hay 17.-Senator
Davenport's resolution ratifying on
behalf of the State of New York the
proposed tax to the Federal Consti-
tuition, passed the Senate tonight
by a vote of 26 to 20 after a ten
hour debate. On the first roll call
the measure received only % votes
one short of majority, Senator
Schlosser who was paired with
Senator T. d. Sullivan and Senator
Bracket not voting On the call for
absentees, Senator Bracket arose
and declared dramatically that while
he was not entirely convinced of the
propriety of such an amendment he
had concluded to give the country
the benefit of the doubt, thus casting
the deciding vote.
Just before the vote, counter
proposition was offered by Senator
Hamilton providing for the appoint
ment of committee to investigate
the subject of levying a graduated
income tax to be applied to the ex-
penses of the State This caused a
hot discussion, Senators Davenport
Hinman vehemently protesting that
the offering of the substitute was a
palpable attempt to dodge the real
issue.
Senator Davis endeavored to get in
an amendment to the Hamilton reso-
luton favoring an equal division of
an income tax between the State and
the United States but this was ruled
out on parliamentary point
Senator Newcomb then offered a
substitute instructing the New York
representatives in Congress to sup
port an amendment to the Federal
Constitution, providing for an in
come tax in case of emergencies only
and for a period not longer than
three years.
The Hamilton substitute was laid
on the table by vote of 33 to II as
was the Newcomb substitute, 33 to
II.

National Association of Man

WATERWAY PROPOSED
United States Urged to Participate
With Canada in Building Deep
Waterway for Transportation Of
Ores and Grain--Immigration and
Distribution of Aliens Discussed.

New York, May 1G.-Three impor-
tant subjects for the consideration
of the Federal Government were put
forward today in the opening ses-
sion of the annual convention of the
National Association of Manufacture
ers. One urges the participation by
this country in the building of a
deep water canal through Canada to
transport ores and grains from the
lake regions. Amendment of the i'm
migration laws to provide more lib
eral terms for the admission of skill
aliens in the farming sections,
where they are needed, were also
advocated.
The suggestion regarding the Can
adian waterway was made in the re-
port of the committee on interstate
commerce. 1t outlined that several
water routes are under consideration
by the Canadian authorities and says
of one route. which would connect
Lake Ontario with Georgian Bay, the
eastern arm of Lake Huron, by way
of Lake Simcoe:
"The question is well worth con-
sidering whether the United States
would not gain far more than the
outlay cost by contributing literally
for the construction of deep water
canal through this most suitable part
of the province of Ontario, and by
admitting the Canadians to unrestric-
ted use of the deep water route
through New York State in return
for equally free use of the Canadian
canal by our merchant marines"
The report also calls attention to
the interest of the association in
freight rates with the recommended
tions that preparations made to op-
pose an increase in rates as propos-
ed by the Trunk Line Association.
Figures are cited to show that at
present rates the railroads apparent
ly have prospered.
The diversion of immigrants to
farming communities was discussed
by Ormsby McHarg of this city for
mer assistant secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
The problem as he saw it was proper
distribution rather than exclusion.
THE problem must be solved by
the Federal Government" he said
1T is absurd to talk of building a
Chinese wall about this nation We
have neither the legal right, viewed
from the standpoint of international
law, nor the power to keep out desir-
able people.
Even China may and she should
resent our treatent of her people.
Our reckless disregard for the feel
ings of these people has cost us the
greatest market in the world. A
distribution of the immigration from
the east coast to the west would
make an end to the yellow Peril.
The East has had its developing
labor. The West has been denied it.
"All sections of the country have
been benefited in the past by immi-
| grafton, with the exception of the
| South, and the South should be edu-

DEBATING QUESTION
Republicans Thinking of Wip-
ing Out All fractional Lines
in Congress
LONG CONFERENCE HELD

Feasibility of Meeting On Some COM
mon Ground Discussion by Party
Leaders In Conference at White
House Saturday Night-Reyised
Legislative Program Made Out
Tentatively.
Washington, ID. c., May ID
Whether it is feasible at this late
day to wipe out Republican factional
lines and meet on some common
ground that would unite the insur-
gents and regulars in Congress is
the question of greatest moment now
agitating the minds of the Republi-
can leaders 1t was raised last night
at conference at the White House
which was bgun at 1890 o'clock and
continued until lis o'clock this
morning.
A great many things were talked
over at the midnight gathering and a
revised legislative program was made
up tentatively which it was believed
would command the votes of practi-
cally all of the regular Republicans
After that had been accomplished,
a discussion followed as to the possi-
bility of making certain concessions.
that might attract all of the Repub-
licans of the Senate.
Practically all the Republican Sen
ators from the West were present
last night except the most radical
progressives, namely, LaFollette
IBeveridge, Cummins, Dolliver, Bris-
tow and Clapp Among the progress
sives who attended were Nelson, Bo-
rah, Brown, Burkett, Dixon, Gamble
and Crawford. These men took a
leading part in the discussions and
expressed the opinion that the differ
ences between the insurgents and
regulars were not irreconcilable
The sudden amalgamation of insur-
gents and regulars of the Senate last
Friday, which resulted in the adop-
Ition of an amendment to the admin
istration railroad bill on the subject
of long and short hauls, appeared to
have made the regulars more tolerent
of progressive views on the pending
measure. The getting together was
the Democrats had formed a solid
front to secure the adoption of a
Democratic provision relating to long
and short hauls
When the Senate meets tomorrow
to resume consideration of the rail-
road bill it is expected there will be
a number of informal conferences
Senators Borah, Nelson, Dixon and
others, who have voted with and
against the older Republican leaders
are expected to act as the intermedi-
aries where ge between apear to be
necessary. 1t would not be surpris-
ing i fsome agreement would be
reached this week for the fixing OF
date to take vote on the railroad
bill.
With this subject out of the way il
will be possible to speculate upon g
day for final announcement of the
insurgents and regulars OF the Re
publican majority in the House are
now working in some semblance oi
harmony, and President Taft appear
ed satisfied last night with this pros
poets TO rhis program.
Other than a speech he is schedul-
ed to make before the worlds Sun

AND WE'RE 0. X. YET
Earth Passed Through Tail o
Comet Without Any
Accidents
sun SPOTS OBSERVED

Astronomers report MeteOric Dis
turbances. and Various Eruptfons
on Face of Old Sol, But Much
Feared Cyanogen Gas of Comets
Tail Caused No Trouble for the
Earth.
The comet came, the comet went,
and this old earth is no worse and
no better and, thus far, very little
wiser There was no collision, as
the superstitious and ignorant fear
ed, and, now that the comet is head
ed away from us, there will be no
recurrence of the manifestations of
terror that We're recorded from all
parts of the country and of the
world.
The earth did pass through the
tail of the comet, but none of the
auroral effects which some astrono-
mers were willing to concede might
be visible were in evidence. Nor did
anybody suffocate from deadly cyano-
gen gas.
In fact the phenomena of the day
light hours yesterday were far the
more interesting. During the after
noon sun spots were observed in
varying numbers about the same
hour from five western observatories,
but the astronomers who recorded
them were almost unanimous in the
belief that they had nothing to do
with the approach of the comet and
were merely coincidental.
Thirty sun spots were seen from
ST. Louis, of which the largest was
estimated to be 10000 miles across,
two from San Jose. California with
thirteen surrounding pores, or
smaller spots; three Considerably
accentuated' spots from Chicago,
three connected spots from Vallejo,
California, and two from Portland,
Oregon. None of the eastern obser-
vatories had anything of note to re-
port either during the day or night.
At Chicago and at Williams Bay,
Mich, where Is the great Yerkes
telescope, the conditions for observa-
tions seemed the best, and the astro-
nomers there were confident that the
negative as well as the positive re-
suits of their examination would be
of lasting scientific value.

All Eyes on States Rice Belt

Stuttgart, Oct. 27.-The att tentiOn being directed to the rice country Of Arkansas by the Rice Carnival now in progress empha- sizes the remarkable progress being made by the people of this section.
 The rice growing industry has doubled the value of lands, and modern methods have quadrupl- ed the productivity of the soil.
 The water supply furnished by nature and the formation of the soil with hard pan under meath to hold water is the secret of the remarkable success that has been made of the rice indust- ry in this part of Arkansas. The entire prairie section underlaid with waterbearing stratum at a dept of from 100 to 150 feet. This is tapped by wells of large bore in which the water rises within 30 feet of the surface. Pumps are set just below the water line. One well usually sup plies about 200 acres. During the dry season it is necessary to run the pumps day and night but the machinery is worked only about half the time in the other
 Arkansas rice lands produce crops averaging from 65 to 125 bushels Der acre rice sells in the market at from 90 to S1.40 per bushel. The average cost of production including interest on investment is about $20 per acre.
 The demands for American grown rice cannot be filled and the large increase in acreage this year is not expected to reduce prices at all

St. Louis, Oct, 20, 1910. m the Officers and Other En- nloves of The Missouri Pacific Railway Company and St. Louis, Iron Mountain & South ern Railway Company:
 There are no material differ pnces existing between the Rail way Company and the machinists except the question of the rein statement of the Foreman who went out with the men. The machinists' organization insists upon their reinstatement to the positions they formerly held, which request has been refused. The right of the Railway Com- pauy to select it's officers of what ever rank, including foremen, is one which cannot be relinquished to labor organization, while the Company is held to responsibility for the safety and efficiency of its service.
 The action of the other labor organizations to coerce the Rail way Company into compliance with the machimists' demands by thrsatS of a sympathetic strike, in violation of their con- tract agreements entered into since the machinists' strike was declared, cannot be permitted to influence the Company in it's de- termination to maintain control of Its business through it's own official organization.
