American Banker on the Tax.

The American Banker so we'll
and truly states the situation in
tho matter OF tho income tax that
We reproduce the following from
it's editorial columns
"A safe and easy way to defeat
a measure which individuals or
parties feel compelled to accord a
seeming support is to put 10 the
measure q clause or provision
which provokes opposition when
without tho clause such opposition
would not have been aroused.
This seems to be tho case with the
Federal Income Tax Constitution.
al Amendment which has been
much discussed in various State
Legislature since the opening of
the year.
"The popularity of the PROPOSE
ton made prudent politicians un-
willing to condemn it, but when
the amendment came up in the
Now York State Legislature Gov.
srnor Hughes did not hesitate to
draw attention to the objectional
phrase from whatever source de-
rived The above words referred
to the incomes which Congress had
the power to tax, and the governor
pointed out the amendment would
enable Congress to tax State
bonds, which power could not be
allowed to the Federal Govern
mont.
"The power to tax was long ago
defined as the power to destroy,
and if Congress could tax State
bonds it could threaten the exis-
tence of the States. The posses
sion of this power has been re-
peatedly denied to the Federal
Government 10 successive deci.
sions on the ground that this was
q Union of States, and that the
States we're an essential part of
the system. Fifteen years ago in
the case of Pollock rs. the Farm.
ers' Trust Company, tho Federal
Supreme Court decided that Con.
gress could not tax incomes de.
rived from real estate, or from per-
sonal property without an sppor-
tionment of the tax among States.
1T was further held in this case
that Federal tax could be levied
ON incomes derived from profes.
sional or other labor, and from
business. without spportionment
Az no apportionment has ever
been made this decision amounted
to a practical prohibition of th.
tax, which WAS imposed withou,

A Herculean Task to Raise
Hulk of Battleship Maine.


that the bill providing for the rails
ing OF the hulk of the old battle
ship Maine has passed and been
signed by the president, there is
much speculation rife as to how
tho raising of the wreck will be
accomplished. People have been
wont to think that it would be AL
easy matter to raise the Maine
when once an appropriation for
the purpose had been secured, but
experienced engineers are not SO
sanguine. At best, it will be a
very difficult job.
Already three different attempts
have been made to raise the Maine,
fact which most people have for
gotten now. Congress appropriated
100000 for raising tho Maine
within eight days after the disas-
ter. and a private wrecking COM
pany undertook tho work at once.
This company worked a week
and gave it up a. a bad job, ha-
wing recovered four six-inch guns,
a safe. a steam cutter aud two six.
Founders.
Subsequently the government
made a contract With another com.
pany. which failed to accomplish
anything, and with yet another.
which also failed. Now govern
ment engineers are to undertake
the work. Considering that the
government engineers failed utter
ly in their efforts to save the hull
of the little Yankee, there are those
who arc skeptical as regards their
chances with the big hulk OF the
Maine. However, John Arbuckle,
sugar king and amateur in salvage,
who hoated tho Yankee just to
show that it could be done, says
that conditions in Havana harbor
are much more favorable than
they were on Spindle rock, whore
the Yankee was wrecked.
WORK VERY DIFFICULT.
Capt. Louis SUrcho, the noted
deep sea diver who helped recover
the dead from the Maine, says that
this work of salvage will be ex-
tremely difficult, since the Names

lS,foot stratum Of foul ooze, form.
ed by the discharge of Havana's
sewers from time immemorial.
This ooze makes the water about
the wreck 80 turbid that divers
can see absolutely nothing aud
must work altogether by the sense
of touch. Furthermore, it is so
pestilsntial that ships are forbid.
den to drop anchor there, lest The
stirring up of the mud should
start some epidemic.
The hulk lies in this deadly
oose under thirty -one feet of wa
ter. To raise it from this bed, in
which it has laid for twelve years,
will tax the modern science of
salvage to the uttermost.
Various plans have been propo.
sed. The coffsrdam system is one
that will be considered. This en-.

On To Frazer's

Many of Newark's summer evening
pronenaders who have as their mecca
Frazer's and a glass of soda, heard with
regret of the condemnation of the ice.
Their evening stroll became objectless
for soda without that generous supply of
crushed ice did not appeal. Great was
their delight, then, when on Tuesday Mr..
Frazer announced the arrival of sanitary
ice. Now those fond of the refreshing
beverage may feel they can once more

Ice Plant For Newark Talked OF

In view of the suspicion aroused over
the purity of the ice furnished by local
dealers. several of Newark's capitalists
are agitating the advisability of an ice
plant. The idea most heartily received
is that a stock company be formed which
shall sell only small blocks of stock to
one individual. A plant of l5 ton ca
pacity would be necessary for town of
this size. growing as it is. The cost of
such plant would be approximately
$25.OOO, much depending on the cost of
securing sufficient and satisfactory wa
ter supply.
During the last few years several ice
plants have been erected down the State,
especially in the fruit belt. 1t is the CON
census of opinion down there that the ice
can be produced at a much lower price
than that required for the harvesting
of the natural or the transportation of
down East" ice.
The only complaint that the artificial
Ice does not possess the satisfactory
cooling properties of the natural ice, is
of small moment when the matter of
purity is considered.
That there is a difference of opinion in
regard to the purity of the natural ar
ticle is shown by the articles in this
paper .....

Bazaar Al Catholic Church A Great
Success

The annual bazaar held on
the lawn adjoining the Catholic
Church, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings of last week
met with the usual pronounced
success. Though the first even
ing was ushered in with rainy
weather, nothing could mar the
enthusiasm and interest always
manifested in these bazaars.
The Chapel street corner be-
came the busiest part of town.
and the whole scene was one of
animation. Each table carried
out a certain color scheme in
the decorations, making a very
pleasing general effect.
There was an attraction for
every one, young or old, excit-
able or quiet. For those hav-
ing a fondness for the spirit of
chance, there was the paddle
wheel; those possessing the skill
full twist of the wrist could
exercise it by throwing at the
canes; for the person fortunate
enough to possess the power to
blend thoughts of snow and
Christmas with the extreme
summer heat, there was large
fancy table with dozens of
pretty and useful Christmas
gifts. The table laden with
home made candies became the
mecca Of those possessing
sweet tooth, where they could
find the wholesome article;
those hunting the substantials
were able to satisfy the inner
man with ham sandwiches and
coffee. A gypsy was on hand
to satisfy the curious and give
them a peep at their future.
The star feature was the
vaudeville show. Here the ex-
cellent management was shown

PARCELS POST QUESTION.

Washington, d. c., Dec. At is
said that an effort will be made
by the postmaster-general, backed
by the administration, to pass a
bill reducing postage on sealed
letters to one cent, and also to
carry into effect the iong-op-
posed parcels-post privileges en-
joyed by all foreign peoples, but,
through the influence of the ex-
press companies, withheld from
the citizens of the United States.
The American citizen living in
Washington may send a ten-lb.
package by mail to London, Paris,
Berlin or Vienna, but he cannot
more, only one hour distant, or
to Philadelphia or New York, four
and five hours distant. If the
package should weigh only four
pounds he can send it by mail for
"a cents to any of these cities, but
the four pounds to the European
destination costs only 4Sc. The
Postoffice Department is not re-
sponsible for these outrages. They
are the result Of the monopoly
which the express companies, thru
their influence in the Senate and
House, have been able to maintain
in the distribution of packages by
mail. In other words, the express
companies will not be able TO make
SO much money if the people of
the United States shall insist up
on having as good parcels-post
service between Philadelphia and
Cincinnati, for example, as they
have to Berlin or Paris. C. A. s.
