JEFF BOXES TWO men
Boilermaker Takes on Arm
strong and Berger for
Five Merry Rounds.

Rowardennan, Cal, April 23.-Hot
sunshine did not check Jeffries in his
training yesterday. and he put In his
longest boxing session far in two
bouts with Berger and Armstrong. AL
though the latter was quite willing to
quit at the end of three rounds, JEFF
fries was keen for more. and Berger
was taken on for two rounds. The 60
ing was fast in both bouts, but the big
fighter stood it well and easily could
have made the pace for another bout If
he had found partner.
Berger. while coming out OF the
clfnches, frequently landed right up
percut. This is one OF Johnson's fav-
orite punches, and Berger employed 1t
whenever possible, coaching Jenries In
blocking it.
Joe Choynski was an interested spec
tator of the sparring. He expressed
himself surprised at Jeffries physical
improvement, but said he believed the
boilermaker needed some good, stiff
boxing to put him in the old fighting
trim. Joes working toys will arrive
tomorrow morning. and he will be
ready to assume his duties as sparr.ng
partner il called upon.
In addition to the boxing Jeffries
went through his usual routine of roa
work and gymnasium practice, covering
twelve miles on his morning run, with
two sessions of handbali later and q
vigorous attack on the punching bag
He won both handban games against
Berger and Billy Papke.

committees or corporations engaged in
promoting the election of Representa-
tiyes ia Congress in two or more states
should be made ten days before election.
As reported TO the Senate. the bill will
require q post-election accounting. It
may be urged that a later publication
will have less moral effect that an
earlier. But there is little force in such
an objection. What the public wants is
definite knowledge Of the amounts con-
tributed and the sources of the contribu-
tions. The ante-election method of ac-
counting was followed in 1908 by the
Democratic National Committee. But
under this plan unacknowledged contri-
buttons can be made in the last ten days
before election. Indeed. the heaviest
contributions are often made at the close
Of campaign, and givers not caring to
be known as such before an election
could easily promise large sums and then
delay payment until after the publication
of the ante-election statement. The post
election method is followed in New
York's corrupt practices law and has
been adopted in most Of the other states.
There is no reason to think it would not
produce satisfactory results in the field
of national politics.

NCOHE TAX CHANCES

World is urging Congress to withdraw
the pending amendment and submit
new one not subject TO the criticism that
il invades the field Of state taxation and
bv permitting income from state, county
and municipal securities to be taxed op-
pressively attacks the inStrllmentaIities
of state. But Congress has shown no
disposition to heed this appeal 1t might

Will be ready TO act upon it next winter.
Resides. the great ma jority OF its advo-
Gates see no injustice in imposing a fed
era1 tax on incomes from state securities.
They do not favor a recall, and would
decidedly prefer to have the present
amendment adopted or beaten on its
merits as sweeping enlargement OF the
federal taxing power.
So far, the vote on the amendment
stands: Ratification, Z; rejection, 4. The
states which have ratified the amend

sissippi, Oklahoma Kentucky, Illinois

LONG AND SHORT HAUL
aitnr Of The Trih11ne.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In an editorial in The Tribune to-
day we note the comment that there is too
much agitation for the further regulation
Of the railways and it IS stated I'm erect
that the present arrangement OF long and
short haul trafic is just.
Well. then. here's sample: The freight
rate on pea coal. which We use in large
quantities, from the mines to Plainheld.
N j.. is 81 20 a ton. There is no comPe-
tition to Plainfield, so by the divine right
of the coal land owneTs-i g, the railroads
the s. 40 rate TO Plainf1e1d Is just Yet
the company is hauling the same coal right
through PIainffeld, transporting II across
New York Harbor. and another company
will haul it all the way TO New Rochelle
for exactly the same rate from the same
rnines-s1 40 a ton. There is competition
between the railways hauling coal to New
Rochelle. and they make fair profit on
the rate of 81 20 q ton. There is no conpe-
titfon to PIaiuield, and though we take
solid trainload in one shipment we must
pay the full New Rochelle rate
This is the kind of discrimination that is
being practised in many ways by the rail-
ways and which fully justifes continued
agitation for their further control More

Vermont Maine. Louisiana and Ohio. In
Georgia last summer the upper branch
of the legislature refused to pass a reso-
,ntion of ratifica ton. although the lower
branch had passed it alnost unani-
;no1sly. Georgia may therefore be in
Guided among the doubtful states.
There have been two surprises in the
voting so far Virginia was expected 20
ratify the amendment. since the Demo
cratic party was in control of both
branches of the Legislatu ture and there
had been no indications OF disposition
among the Democratic leaders to repn-
diste the declaration OF the Democratic
national platform in favor Of the ratifi-
cation of an amendment such as Con
cress proposed to the states, In Mary
land. on the contrary. the Democratic
partv declined to favor ratification in
the state platform Of 1903, and Mary
lands persistent disregard of the tinan-
ciaI declarations of Democratic national
platforms enCourag ged ih2 belief that the
Democratic leaders would either reject
the amendment or prevent vote. The
Legislature. however. passed resolution
of ratification.
In considering the chances Of the
amendment some allowance must be
made for the possibility Of states which
have acted adversely subsequently
changing their verdicts When the
Fourteenth Amendment was submitted
Congress created some rather starting
yrecedents It decided that state
which had once ratified could not with
draw Its approval, whereas state which
declined to ratify could afterward be re-
ported In the affirma tive. Thus Georgia
rejected the Fourteenth Amendment on
November 13, 1866. but ratified it on
July 2f. 1868. North Carolina rejected it
on December 4. 1886. but ratified it on
July 4. 1868. South Carolina rejected it
on December 20, 1866, but ratified 1t en-
July Q. 1868. The states of Ohio and
New Jersey ratified this amendment, but
subsequent legislatures IL those states
sought to withdraw approval. Congress,
However. included Ohio and New Jersey
among the commemorative which it de-
clared by joint resolution to have rat1hed
the Fourteenth Amendment and direct
ed the Secretary of State to count them
il the list of states which had ratified.
Apparently the income tax amendment
now has heavy odds against it. Its only
substantial chance of success seems to
lie in change Of attitude on the part OF
some of the commonwealth which do
hot now favor it.

An ARCTIC VETERAN.

One of the most interesting features OF
Commander Peary's appearance before
the Royal Geographical Society the other
night was the moving of vote of thanks
for his address by Sir George Mares.
That veteran, who once held the record
of '.farthest North had only few days
before celebrated the seventy-ninth an
niversary Of his birth, but despite the
burden Of years his interest in Arctic
ventures is still as keen as it was when
he went North with the Franklin search
expedition, ffty-eight years ago.
It was in our centennial year. 1876,
that Sir George, then merely Captain
Mares, OF the British navy, took his ship,
the Alert, to a point a few miles beyond
that attained by Sir Edward Parry forty
eight years before, and reported to the
Admiralty that he had reached the limit
"of navigation in the south shore of the
'impenetrable Polar Sea" He was then
four hundred miles from the pole and
deemed it an almost hopeless task to
proceed further. The Polar Sea-" he
said. SIS never navigable. Ordinary ice
averages so feet in thickness. Animal
''Iife and northerly migration of birds
'end south of Cape Columbia" AS for
progress On sIedges, so rugged was the
ice that he was unable to advance more
than a mile day. In such circumstances
he declared that 'the impra cticability of
reaching the North Pole is proved
That judgment has now been disproved
and the goal which Sir George heroically
but vainly sought has been attained But
we suppose that no man in the world
more cordially congratulates the success
ful explorer than the veteran who did
great things, but failed in the supreme
attempt Sir George belonged to the
more romantic period of polar explora-
ton. though indeed his observations and
experiences have spanned its whole mod
ern history. from Franklin's futile and
fatal quest of useless passage to
Peary's successful attainment Of the
pole, and it is most gratifying to have
him. with Markham, Beaumont and other
veterans, able to join in the celebration
of final triumph.

tion with his latest and unapproached
performance that .'he never walks on
Sundays"
That feature of Mr.. Weston's work
conlmends itself to those who believe in
religious observance Of the first day OF
the week., as does Mr.. Weston himsei1.
It likewise goes far TO confirm the belie1
OF regular weekly day of rest, whether
marked by worship or not. 1t Will be
recalled that last year the French gov
ernment. not at all on ecclesiasucal or
spiritual grounds. but purely on those OF
natural and material necessity, enacted
an exceptionally strict Sunday observ-
arce law More and more the world Is
growing in recognition Of the practical
wisdom of the Fourth Commandment.
Mr.. Weston's practice IL this part1cu-
iar is especially worthy OF note as re-
buke of the too prevalent spirit of the
extreme ''hjIstler''-the man who thinks
that rest and leisure mean waste OF time
and who would identify efficiency with
unrestingness. For here is man who
has achieved much i'll his chosen line,
and who has done so while scrupulously
refraining from effort Cn every seventh
day. It may be that some thoughtless
observers have been say ing, How much
sooner he could have got here If only
''he had walked on Sundays We do
not think so. We believe that his eX-
traordinary task was accomplished not
In spite of but because Of his resting on
Sundays. With the create pedestrian
Il
day observance system. that system
stands approved for executive efficiency
until somebody srrpasses that record IN
der another system-which we do not
expect to see done.

David T. Watson Suggests Commission

Pittsburg. May s.-David T. Watson. a
prominent attorney in the Alaska boundary
dispute and leader of the conservative De

party.
Mr.. Watson has been working on a plan
that he thinks will rehabilitate the Demo-

Mr.. Watson says that to his mind graft

lead in advocating it they will forestalI
their Republican opponents and will garner
the votes which otherwise might be found
in the Republican column.
