Mr.. BAILEY AND THE INCOME
TAX AMENDMENT.

Senator Bailey. of Texas. made
speech a few days ago strongly ad-
vocatirE the proposed income tax
amendment to the constitution Of the
United States. The senator is quo'ed
as saving that If the people are re-
lieycd OF the burden imposed by the
Republican tariff. the federal govern
ment will have TO rely upon the III
come tax for a consider able portion
of it's revenues. and that consequent
" il is all important that a sufficient
number of the states should ratiiy
the anne ndmeGt in order 10 make II
effective.
The government does net need the
revenue that would oe derived from
an income tax now, and there is no
aeascn for surprising that 1t will need
IL when the evils of the tariff nave
been corrected. In the first place II
is not fair to say that the govern
ment really needs certain amount 10
spend. when that certain amount rep
repre sen,s the appallingly extravagant
annual expenditure of the Republican
administration during the Iast few
yeans. The government does not act
nally need all Ct the money that Is
b. ing spent. and the people ought
not to be called upon &c provide H.
through income taxes or otherwise.
Then. who believes that properly
administered tariff system according
to the protective policy If the Reput-
Iican party CT according TO the tariff
for revenue policy of the Democratic
party would not yield a revenue IS
great if not greater than is yielded
BY the Aldrich- Payne schedules? The
figures in the Aldrich- Payne schedules
look big. but prchifitive tariff
brings no revenue. \ tariff of l20 yer
cent. on Wool. for instance. probably
would not put as much money in The

CALF'S JAW USED
TO PATCH UP man
Unprecedented Operation Sue
cessfulIy Performed in
Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, April 15.-The new
oral surgery department of the Los
Angeles county hospital. said to be the
first of its kind in any county institu-
ton in the country, was inaugurated
today with an unprecedented operation,
which supplied John Schilheimer a
Long Beach rancher, with part of a
calf's lower jaw to replace maxillary
bones that were destroyed when the
calf's father. a Jersey bull, gored the
man and butted him in the face last
November.
Doctor DeichmilIer first picked out a
sheep to supply the needed front por-
ton of the lower jaw, but Schilheimer,
who had ordered the bull slain immedi-
ately after it had gored him, carried
his revenge to the offending animal S
offspring. He could not talk, but made
his wish known with pad and pencil
Let the sin of the father be visited
on the son. he wrote. kill the Jer-
sey calf
It was slain this morning. an hour
before the operation, so that the living
cells in the calf bone would knit with
Schilheimer emerged from the anes-
thetics with everything under the flesh
of his chin made of calf and his face
bound in a cast to hold his toothless
gums articulated.
In two months 1t is expected that he
will be fully recovered and able to eat
without the tube he now uses to draw
nourishment through an interdental
splint.

Changes Suggested in Field OF
Politics in Lecture at the
Unitarian Club

BERKELEY. April 15.-In a lecture
on Taking Politics Out of Politics BY
DR.. David Starr Jordan at the Unitarian
club last night. the speaker defended
the policies of former President Roose-
Welt and declared that the Roosevelt
idea @is to hold every resource Tor the
people unless there is a specific law
under which it must be given up.
The Taft idea" he said. lis to allow
the mOneyed interests to gain every
thing unless there is a specific law TO
forbid"
In line with the Roosevelt idea that
nothing should be wasted that can be
saved, Doctor Jordan advocated the
employment OF scientific experts in
every department of public work in
stead of those who are only politically
interested in the duties they perforuk \
He continued:
Our politics are and have been in
the past sordid. 1t is the duty of the
present age to lift politics from the
slough of corporate greed 1t is thSV
proper attitude OF the government to be-
doing something all the time to be-
solving some problem"

To Meet WiIheImina
Received by Emperor

VIENNA, April 15.-Colone1 Theodore
Roosevelt was received at the Austrian
capital today in a manner almost like
that accorded a reigning sovereign. The
punctilious Austrian court, the most
ceremonious of Europe, had arranged
the program and left nothing undone
that could emphasize the unprecedented
honor being paid the visiting American.
AS a special mark of his personal es-
TEEN the aged emperor king, Francis
Joseph received Colonel Roosevelt in
his private apartments at the imposing
Hofburg palace, instead of the regular
audience chamber. The monarch, who
was attired In an imperial uniform,
was extrtmely gracious to former Amer
lean president and kept him In CONVEX
sation for 35 minutes. What interest
ing subjects they found to discuss were
not made public, as they were alone,
and Colonel Roosevelt naturally has de-
clined to reveal the slightest detail of
the conversation.

the sea, but was pulled out
The passengers could take only their

everything else. Some complained of
losing money. but the majority did not
complain Of any serious loss.
We spent the night on the Ranger,
without much to eat and no place to

the splendid work Of Captain Noren and
his crew. They calmed the passengers
and quieted our fears and in every way
made the situation easy for u.s."
