In CANNON'S TOWN
GORE MIKES ATTACK.
"Cham pions of Pivilege' and
the administration.

Dsnvlle, H.. Jan. That Democrats
should give aid and comfort TO Republican
progressiyes in Republican districts who
voted against Speaker Cannon, against his
rule, against the tariff, and against the
ship subsidy was the opinion expressed
by Senator Thomas p. Gore. of Oklahoma,
Democrat. speaking tonight at a Jackson
Day dinner In this city.
Their heads" said he should not be
carried on a charger merely because by re-
fusing 10 fawn they failed to thrive.
Il have Que regard for the proprieties
of this place and this OCCASION continued
Senator Gore. Il come neither 10 bury
Cannon nor to praise him. wage no war
against Cannon nor against Aldrch as in
dividuals, but against Cannonism and AL
drichism as a system of misgovernment.
Personally 1 wish them good health and
increase of days-politically I wish de-
thronement unto tlicm and their dynasty.
IF the reign of 'stand-pat' tyranny is
continued ! have little choice among the
tyrants. Destroy the despotism If you
would destroy the despot. Cannon and
Aldrich are indeed in the path of progress.
The chosen champions Of privilege, the
guiding genius of the new administration,
the friends and favorites of the king, are
BC4titNh upon lIle very arms OF tle InTOnc-
Roosevelt was able TO run his admins
tration without their domination. It seems
that Mr.. Taft surrendered at the first sum-
mons Roosevelt, in his way, was the
friend of progress and the foe OF privilege,
and the people may yet prefer the strenu-
osity of Roosevelt to the sinuosity of Taft.
They may yet conclude that the hands are
the hands of Esau, but the voice is Jacobs
voice
THE tariff enables one man 10 get with
out earning what another man earns with
out getting. which enables the jewelled hand
OF greed to pick the threadbare pocket of
the needy.
THE President says the object of revision
was not TO reduce. but to prevent an ad-
vance. A revelation this, but even this OBJ
ject has failed. There has been saturna-
liza of high prices since the new law was
approved, but you need no other reminder
than experience. The President has also
assured us that the new law is the best law
ever enacted by the Republic. What a
splendid compliment. If increasing duties
be the test, it is par excellence the best"
Mr.. Gore condemned a ship subsidy, the
policy of Capitalization and a central bank
Continuing, he said
The country is on its knees now praying
that we may escape the scandal in Alaska
An investigation has become imperative
Let us hope there will be no wanton use
either of lampblack or of whitewash. Rather
let the white light be turned on the facts
and the truth set before the peoples eyes"

PLANNING BUENos AYREs TRIP
International Excursion Party to At
tend Pan-American Conference.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

ltfom Inc tribune Bureau.
Washington, Jan. 7.-Plans are under con-
sderation by the Bureau of American Re-
publics to form an international excursion
party to attend the centennial celebration
and Pan-American conference at Buenos
Ayres next summer. If these do not mis-
carry, at least one ship. and possibly more,
will be chartered to carry the merchants of
the United States to Buenos Ayres. Di-
rector Barrett is in correspondence with a
number of chambers of commerce in vari-
Gus parts of the United States and is
urging them TO cooperate in obtaining spe-
cial ships for the trip.
The Secretary of State, who in his Off
Cial capacity is determined TO make as
much of the conference as possible by ap-
pointing a delegation OF the most distin-
guished Americans who can be obtained,
also indorseS the excursion idea. 1t is pos
sible that Pittsburg alone will charter a
special vessel for the occasion. The official
delegation will go down on a naval cruiser,
and a special squadron has been organized
to go to Buenos Ayres for the conference.
Despite the unusual interest manifested
by Americans in the forthcoming celebra-
tion. American merchants are backward in
applying for space for their exhibits, Eng
lish, French, German, Spanish and, indeed,
practcaly all european manufacturers dIe
taking advantage of the exposition by ap-
plying for more space than can be appor-
toned to them, but Americans are appar-
entity slow in taking advantage of the op-
portunity, although in the last few years
the trade OF the United States with Argen-
tina has increased much more rapidly than
that of any European nation. The Bureau
Of American Republics is making special
efforts TO interest the manufacturers and to
help them 10 arrange for exhibits.

GREATEST COURT RECORD.
Oberlin M. Carter Case Covers Fifty
Thousand Pages.
EIfrorn The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington, Jan. THE most volumi-
nous record in the history of the United
States Supreme Court has been filed in the
case of the United States against Oberlin
NJ. Carter. Carter was formerly captain
of engineers, and was in charge Of harbor
work at Savannah when the Greene and
Gaynor scandal startled the country For
the last nine years the government has
been seeking to recover from Carter about
100000. The case has been fought through
the lower courts and will come before the
Supreme Court for argument on Monday.
The attorneys in the suit of the govern
ment against the American Tobacco Com
pany thought they had established claim
to the most voluminous record, but they
subsided when they saw the mass of papers
in the Carter case. The record embraces
about fifty thousand printed pages.
For the government the case will be ar
gued by Marion Erwin. former United
States Attorney for Georgia. Carter will
be represented by Joseph B. Foraker, for
mer United States Senator, and Horace
G. Stone, of Chicago. This will mark Mr..
Forakers first appearance in the Supreme
Court since he entered the Senate in 1896.

KILLS INCOME TAX
EFFECT OF HUGHESS
CRITICISM.
Friends of amendment in Con-
gress Concede Defeat-Not
to Try again.
Iron The Tribune Rureau.l

Washington. Jan. members OF Con-
sress who favor an income tax are con-
WINGED that the proposed constitutional
amendment authorizing the levy Of such
tax will not be ratified by three-fourths
II the states. They believe that the
criticism Of the resolution by Governor
Hughes will have a farreaching in
Nuence on the action of many legisat-
ures which are 10 meet this winter, and
that il will not be difficult 10 convince
the lawmakers of twelve states that the
adoption OF the resolution would invest
the federal government with a power
that might prove dangerous TO the
states.
The suggestion that Congress pass
another resolution. from which the words
from whatever source derived" shall be
eliminated. does not meet with favor in
either branch of Congress. A prominent
Western Senator, who believes that il is
possible TO pass a constitutional income
tax law under the present grants of
power 10 the general government, said
tonight that none OF the friends of the
income tax would lead a movement to
pass a new resolution for submission TO
the states.
Even with the Objectionable words
eliminated" he said. "I think il would
be impossible to get three-fourths Of the
state legislatures to ratify the resolution.
] am convinced that the resolution is
slated for defeat. and personally ] prefer
rhat it shall be defeated on technical
grounds rather than because of the gen.
erel principle which il seeks to enunci-
ate
Another Western Senator, who voted
for the income tax resolution last
spring said he did not think the obiec-
tion of Governor Hughes would bear
analysis.
81 hesitate 20 say this he continued,
'for realize that Mr.. Hughes is a very
capable lawyer. and does not reach hasty
conclusions. ] do not believe however,
that the words from whatever source
derived would give the federal govern
Inent power TO tax the incomes from
state bonds. This question was decided
as long ago as the famous case of Nc
Culloch agt. Maryland. The power to
1ax involves the power TO destroy II is
settled that one sovereignty cannot tax
Ihe instrumentalities OF another SOW
ereignty. This is not specifically set out
in the Constitution. but there are some
principles inherent in sovereignty which
Go not have to be incorporated in the
written fundamental law. have no
doubt that under the language OF the
resolution Congress could and would
pass e bill which would exempt from
taxation the income on both United
States and state bonds"
On the other hand, some of the best
lawyers in Congress agree with the view
expressed by Governor Hughes The
Bhraseology OF the income tax resolution
did not have the careful consideration of
the Senate's foremost lawyers. The
amendment was drafted by Senator
Brown and was submitted as a compro-
mise for the corporation tax. There was
practically no debate on its adoption,
and the question was not raised as to
whether the language used was broad
enough 10 interfere with the right of a
state to borrow money for its own pur-
poses.

THE DAWN WASHINGTON

world OF this century. 1t is true. of course
that the proposition OF permanent inter-
national court of arbitration was first ad-
vanced at The Hague by American COM
missioners. acting or motion of Secretary
Root. but II remained for the ingenuity OF
Mr., Knox to devise a method whereby an
existing instrumentality may easily be con-
verted into such a court. 1t Is not sup
posed. of course, that Mr. KnoX's name
would be submitted TO the Nobel trustees
until the claims of Mr.. Root have been dis
posed of-a fact which makes IT entirely
possible that three American statesmen
may be so honored within a comparatively
short space Of time.
Had not the calendar of events in Wash
ington been decidedly crowded with hap
penings of a more OF less sensational char
acter IN the last week, the declaration OF
Governor Hughes regarding the income tax
would doubtless have attracted more atten-
ton. Even as 1t is, the views of the Gov
ernor are receiving far more consideration
than is ordinarily accorded at the nattonal
capital TO fhe utterances OF the Governor
of a state( There seems TO be consensus
of opinion that Governor Hughes's declara-
ton is at once thoughtful and courageous.
Had the cnleI executive OF lhe EtllpiiS
State been more of politician and less
of a statesman. it is said by his friends
here, he might have hesitated long before
enunciating views so diametrically opposed
TO those of the administration. and hardly
likely 10 prove welcome 10 the insurgent
element of the Republican party. His very
fearlessness, however. has compelled ad-
miration. and the evident sincerity of his
opposition has precluded all unkindly criti-
cism. In fact, there are many who believe
that the Governors objections are we'll
and that the national Legislature
has only itself to blame for having submit
ted to the states a hastily prepared and
carelessly expressed Constitutional amend
ment. That by his criticism the Governor
has signed the death warrant of the amend
ment, at least in its present form. is quite
generally believed G.. G.. II.

appeared that after he had been asked

nothing came out as TO requests for larger

Senator Stephenson testified to-day that
Mr.. Ekern and Mr.. Dahl came to Mari

to the La Toilette Presidential campaign
fund. The Senator refused 10 go in so
heavily. he said and after a long discus
sion, in which, he said. his visitors did
most of the talking, he gave them check
for s1.O0o.
He said further, when it was suggested
that his memory might be had, that he had
a stack of letters from Senator La Fol-
lette and his followers several inches
thick, which in time would be published

cause OF the intimation that his persistent
refusal might interfere with the chance OF

1t is now suggested by those more or less

Washington. Jan 7.-President Tafts dis
message which he submitted to Congress
to-day has delighted those who agree with
him and amazed those who have been, or
who thought they were. opposed TO the
proposition. The comprehensiveDes of his
argument and the dispassionate manner IN
which he meets the objections which have
been urged against the proposition seem.
for the time being at least, wholly to have
disarIned even those who have hitherto an
nounced themselves as violently opposed 10
the scheme. While there is little likelihood
that Congress will make any attempt TO
enact federal incorporation law at this
session, there Is reason to believe that an
active and entirely frank propaganda will
be carried on continuously until the ma
tional legislature decides TO act. The num-
Der of fathers which NJ Taft's federal in
corporation child seems TO possess is not
without its amusing side. The Attorney
General affirms that he is It's father. and
points TO the speech he made In Kentucky
last summer. The Secretary of Commerce
and Labor presents an older, il not more
valid, claim to its paternity and instances
the speech he made to the Missouri Bar
Association several years ago, Senator
Bevertdge solemnly announces that he Is
the sole father and originator of the idea.
