IS IT POSSIBLE?

The income tax amendment to the Constitution of the United States will be presented to the legislatures of Kansas and Miss ouri this winter. Most of the other state legislatures will also consider it. only thirteen of the states having already adopted or rejected it.
 Since the beginning of the Ninetee enth Century the Consttiu- tion of 1789 has been amended only once, except as the result of war. That one peaceful excep- was with regard to the selection |of Presidents ond Vice-Presi- dents, and occurred when there were comparatively few states in the Union. As there are now forty-six states (not including Arizona and New Mexico), and AsS the legislatures of three forths of them (thirty-fve) must ratify any proposed amendment, it is ordinarily regarded as inn possible to amend the Constitu- tion peacefully, except by con- struction of the courts or by en- forcing public opinion ultra-legal ly-as by the election of a Presi- dent by popular vote of the states instead of leaving the choice to the college of electors as the Constitution provides.
 The popular income tax pro- position will afford an excellent test of whether theory of impos- sibility of constitutional amend is true or not.
 If that proposition cannot pre- vail it is doubtful is any can.

NO POLITICS IN IT.

When Senator Lafe Young o1 Iowa took the oath as senator tC succeed the late Jonathan P. Do liver he was escorted to the desk by Senator Cummins. There was no political significance, as they say in Kansas. in the incl dent, barring the fact that Cum mins would have found greater pleasure in escorting almost any other man in all Iowa, and MT. Young would have preferred to be introduced by any other men, Der of the Senate.
 Added to these exceptions it may safely be assumed that be- fore MT. Cummins started down the aisle, arm in arm with Col onel Young, he held a long dis tance interview with his friends in Des Molnes urging them to see to it that Young is defeated for election in the coming session of the legislature and MT. Young himself had just completed a red hot editorial for his Des Moines Capital denouncing Senator Cum mins as a party traitor" ana a "demagogue."
 Beyord these two minor differences between them, every thing was lovely and the goose was hanging high.
 Thanks for your courtesy" said Mir. Young (supposedlD 1. T hope I will be able to do as much for your successor in few years, :"
 Don't mention it," replied the sentor senator Git may be conjectured), T will be glad to do more than this to see that you never have another opportunity to be sworn in as senator. :"
 But. as a matter of fact, 1t is always d lesson and a pleasure to see two cleanstrain gentlemen meet an unavoidable call upon their capacity for courteous be- havior.

THE OKLAHOMA CAPITAL FIGHT.

The Capital Removal Bill in favor Oklahoma City having passed the Oklahoma Legisture, it is announced that Guthrie will make fight to prevent the mea- sure becoming operative before 1913. The Enabling Act passed by Congress for Oklahoma's ad- mission declared that the capital should remain at Guthrie unJll the year 1913, and upon this contention Guthrie intends to make legal fight against inn mediate removal.
 The people of Oklahoma who voted for the removal of the cap- ital Tn the election last simmer believed that they were voting for che permanent location after the expiration of the time fixed by Congress. Even Okla. City was surprised when Governor Haskell appeared in that city a day or two after the election and declared his intention to locate the capital there without a mo- ment's delay. Undoubtedly the sense of fair play among the peo pie dictated that Guthrie ought to retain the capital according to the general understanding, but the action of the governor pre- cipitated a new issue. The state senate was forced to combat a town lot scheme that would have placed Oklahoma in and absured light before the country, and Guthrie's claim was overshadow- ed by the more important ques- tion of maintaining the dignitF

ARIZONA'S ONLY HOPE
 TO REJECT CONSTITUTION

Phoenix, 'Ariz., Dec. IS. Cover nor Sloan. who has just returned from Washington. states his firm conviction that there is absolute ly no hope of statehood through ratification of the just completed constitution for Arizona.
 There is posively no hope that it will meet with congress sional and presidential approval said Governor Sloan today. My opinion is based on a personal conference with senators and re- presenratives, both republican and democratic and some pro- gressives. The initiative, referen. dunn and recall will not pass muster. The only hope for state hoodis by the voters of Arizona and the construction of new document by the reassembled convention.

BICKNELL MAKES
100 YARD DASH

City and County Auditor James Bick-
nell has made a hundred yards dash
though it has taken him nearly a
day to do it. But he has done it with
his pen and not with his feet. His
signatureby actual measurement is
six inches, and the number of times
he has affixed said autograph to City
and County pay warrants, in the last
twenty-four hours, makes just a hun
bred yards if ali the signature were
put end to end incidentally, by re-
ference to old files in the Auditors Of
flee, it can be observed that Bicknell's
signature is growing. During his
first term as Auditor his official auto
graph measured but three and quar-
| ter inches in latitude. When he is
reelected next November he is likely
to add another inch.
The cause for the many signatures
in the last day is that the City and
County employees have four Gays money
coming to them. The we're paid up to
and including December q. Now they
have cash coming for December 2S, 80
80 and 81.

QUESTION FOR
RAPID TRANSIT

Editor of The Start observe with
surprise, the omission of the name
of the Rapid Transit Company from
the list of subscribers to the fund for
the erection of an observatory zbuild-
ing, wherein the large telescope own
ed by the College of Hawaii can be
installed for the observation of Hal
ley's comet.
This must be the result of an over
sight either on the part of those hav-
ing the matter of subscriptions in
hand, or on the part of the company
itself, for who can be expected to pro
fit by the installation of the telescope
in a like proportion with that com
pany? 1t will mean the addition of
many thousands of dimes to it's Golfers
for the carrying of passengers to and
from Kaimuki, for peep at the celes-
tial visitor. A word to the wise, should
suffice.

StenCiling
Haze you Tried 1t?

If you have never tried it, you
most certainly should, it is the latest
idea in decoration and fancywork.
Stenciling on fabrics gives very pleas
ing results, as you can make such
attractive presents for your friends or
you can beautify your home with
artistic curtains, pillow covers, table
covers, etQ
Stenciling is not hard to do, you
can learn how very easily. The
chief requisite is to get the right
materials to work with - colors that
will be clear and brilliant and will
remain fast in the fabric when it is
washed.

GOVERNMENT TOWN LOTS
The New Town of Newell, In The
Belle Fourche Valley, South Da-
kota, Opens Oct. II.

A new town springs up in richly ir,
rigated district
The United States Reclamation Ser
vice has never had a more excellent ex-
ample of what can be done by irrigating
methods than in the Belle Fourche Vail
ey, which lies northeast of the Black
Hills in South Dakota
This smiling valley has filled up with
an aggressive and vigorous class of sett-
lers, who have taken up government
land under the government irrigation
project, and the new town site of New
that has arisen for a trade center close
at hand.
The Chicago & North Westerns new
line which runs through the Valley
places Newell in direct touch with the
markets of the Black Hill, Omaha, Sioux
City, Des Moines, st Paul, Minneapolis
Milwaukee, and Chicago, and Newell
is the present terminus of the line.
Temporary buildings have already
been constructed General stores, a
newspaper, hotels, and three banks
have been established on the edge of
the town, waiting for the sale of lots to
take place.
The sale of lots will be under govern
ment supervision, and the Secretary of
the Interior has designated October 27th,
as the date upon which this important
event in the history of the valley will
take place.
1t is expected that large number of
people will attend with view to TAX
ing advantage of the call for business
men to come here and reap the benefits
of trade.
A hundred thousand acres of rich irri-
gated valley lands are being thrown
open to public settlement in the Belle
Fourche, and a thickly populated com
munity OF prosperous farmers is spring
ing up into an ideal home, of which
Newell will be one of the centers.

er swung past on silent wings and
tried to tempt him from his fast
ness" But he was unwilling or afraid
Again the mother lowered round, and
a wild, weird cry rang through the
glen. ''For the first time / had heard
the yelp Of the adult eagle, the voice
Of the queen Of birds calling to her
young. The eaglet cheeped continuous
~ until he tapped to the very edge Of
the abyss, listening to her call And
now he, too, changed bis cry; his voice
seemed to break, and the adult yell
burst from 'his throat The eagles
called to each other, yelp answering
yelp. The young eagle gazed round
him, spread out his giant wings and
vanished forever from my sight among
the lodges below. The eaglet had left
the nest and had flown"
