BORAH FAV)RS
INCOME TAX AMENDMENT

any citizen can recite with pride.
For a hundred years rule of con-
struction as established by the men
who helped to write the constitution
had received the approval of an un-
divided court time and time again.
During this period there sat upon the
bench of the Supreme Court some ct
the greatest lawyers Of that or any
other period of this or any other coun-
try. During this period the wealth of
this country had not become so
domineering, SO powerful, SO deter
mined to have its own way. During
this period, therefore, we had under
the constitution the right to impose
part of the tar unpn wealth md :
|part upon con6nb' .stsse - - did -.
S =. 1884 and 1895 thsse precedsnts
were. overturned. this constitution re-
ceived an Interpretation unknown to
it's makers. In the face of two most
powerful dissenting opinions to which
two other judges assented, the humi-
liating and astounding doctrine was
announced that the makers Of the Re-
public had hedged wealth about so
that the taxing powers of the govern.
ment could not reach it even in time
of war; that the founders of a govern
ment based upon equality and justice
had made it impossible to divide the
burdens of government between con
sumption and large class of gathes
ed wealth. Last session of this body
we were called upon to ratify and de
clare by express act our assent to thai
Interpretation. Under the rule of the
majority we did so. We submitted
this proposed amendment to remedy
this supposed hideous defect in thu
fundamental law.
Now the scheme and plan is to de
feat the amendment. Having as Law
making body solemnly accepted thi
construction of the constitution, there
by making 1t impracticable again t.
|appeal to the court, If this amendmen
can be defeated this, the government
of the people, for the people and b.
the people, will stand alone among al
the civilized nations of the cart
shorn Of the power to tax that forr
of wealth best able to bear the bul
dens of the government.
THAT is the scheme and plan, an
such men as the great governor
New York is giving them great al
and comfort. Men say with grea
fcrvor of patriotism, 81 am In favo
Of this power being given to the go
erpment to be used at least in tim
of war;" and straightway proceed
help defeat the amendment" If thos
who are the real enemies OF this mea
ure would come into the open i
friends could deal with them far MOI
, successfully.
Mr.. President, no one ever sa
this country in just the condition /,
: to-day. Never since this governme'
. was launched has there been such
restless spirit among the great mas
of the people, such ugly questionin
} ouch persistent inquiry. No part
the government seems to escape cha
. lenge or criticism. and it is fast b
J. coming popular to scoff at the cons
] tuition itself. An unquiet. disastisfie
s suspicious public mind Is the publ
mind of today Il {E&stS.

The crest of the area of high pres
sure and fair. cold weather that was
yesterday over the lake region has
moved to the middle Atlantic coast.
Relatively low pressures now prevail
from the Rocky mountain region to
the Mississippi valley. with separate
barometric depressions in the south
ern plateau states, Iowa and Saskatch-
evan, and rains have again occurred
in the west gulf and north Pacific sec
tions. Precipitation is also reported
from occasional stations in Minnesota
and western Iowa Owing to the low
air pressure to the westward, cloudy
and probably unsettled weather tonight
and Sunday, with continued moderate
temperature, is indicated for this vi
cinity.
