AGAINST THE IN
CONE TAX AMENDMENT.

The house of delegates of Virginia
has set its face against the income tax
amendment to the Constitution. It
has voted down the proposition for
ratification by "a to 81.
1t was by a remarkable appeal to
the memories of days following the
civil war that he opponents of the in
come tax won out. 1t was argued that
the income tax would result in North
ern officials examining into the private
affairs of citizens, and there would be
a repetition of the days of oppression
following the close of the war.
The Republican party, it was said.
could not be trusted with the revenue
from incomes.
Thus, 10y adroit stirring UP of old
preiUdices and adroit setting forth of
baseless arguments, the men who are
engineering the fight against the in
come tax have won another point.
Fortunately. there is still some hope
that the next legislature L viii act diff

JURISDICTION MUST EXTEND
SOON TO THE AIR.

When the royal mail packet steamer
Tagus rammed the schooner Republic
in a fog twenty miles southeast of
Barnegat the wireless signals sent out
by the former vessel were seriously
interfered with by an amateur wire
less operator on the roof Of a New
York skyscraper, who persisted in
sending out lot of unmeaning glib
berizh. The United Wireless Company
makes the statement. through one OF
its officers, that If the Tagus had been
in a sinking condition and had been
sending out signals OF distress she
would have gone to the bottom. in all
probability, before communication
could have been established.
The incident has melted the COM
pany to take serious steps toward pre-
venting repetition of such interfer-
ence. and the secretary Of the COM
pany J. now in Washington, where he
will make an effort to secure the pas
sage of law which will at least prevent
the sending out OF fake" signals of
IS. o. s." or the older distress signal
of &C. Q. D." This limited legislation,
looking TO the preservation of life and
property, should find ready acceptance,
either as a State or Federal law.
Whether the layman and the amateur
can he prohibited from using the air
for the transmission of messages in
general-thereby simply interfering
with the commercial business of
chartered company-is another Propo-
sition, and a very farreaching one As
free as the air. may be somewhat
misleading as a proverb. 1t cannot
be contaminated with impuuity. as the
decision Of the court IN the famous
Ducktown (Tenn.) copper mining case
has clearly established. There are
police powers enough in any State to
prohibit false alarms. whether sent
through the air or the earth OF the sea.
But regulation beyond that opens up
debatable ground. With flying ma
chimes and wireless messages coming
more and more into general use. the
law viii have to wrestle with new
problems.

a NATIONAL GALLERY OF
ART.

Interesting, if true. and we hope it
is true, the report that j. Pierpont
Morgan is planning to establish a
national gallery OF art in Washing
ton, and to bring here his magnificent
and almost priceless collection of paint
ings and sculptures. 1t is so whispered
about among the artists of this Capt.
tai, and naturally there is excitement
and expectancy. Should Mr. Morgan
do this the new institution would
rival the Carnegie and Rockefeller
Foundations as a public benefaction.
Perhaps no other man of this gen
GRAFTON, either in this country or Ia
Europe, has so many raIe and valuable
art treasures as has Mr.. Morgan. For
many years he has kept an army of
agents in Europe searching them out
and purchasing them. And they have
been successful 10 an extent no others
have, particularly in the purchasing Of
works of the old pssters. so hard TO
get hold of nowadays
He has many of these pictures -:
this country. but more of them perhaps
still in Europe. where they have been
kept, it was said, owing TO the heavy
tariff duties on works of art, not re-
pealed until last summer.
He has a large and valuable collec-
tion in the Kensin2ton Museum, and
one notable Raphael, the Madonna
Ansidci, in the National Gallery in
London. Others he has lent to various
galleries. Should he bring all these
here he would have a collection un-
surpassed perhaps by any private col
lection in the world. except possibly
by that Of Count Liechtenstein, in
Vienna.
America is deficient in works of art.
particularly the works Of the old mas
ters. and these are more and more diff
icult 10 get. There is a law. recently
passed, in Italy which forbids the ex-
portation from that country of works
Of the old masters, no matter by whom
owned.
Other countries are fast developing
a sentiment favoring similar legisla-
tion.
We have. in the Corcoran Art Gal
lery, for instance. a most excellent col
lection of paintings. but they are
nearly all of the modern school.
Should Mr. Morgan bring his collec-
tion here and establish the national
gallery. donating it to the Govern
ment, or to the public under private
supervision. we could have relation
between 1t and the Corcorau Gallery
somewhat similar 20 that whick OBJ
tains, say, in Paris. There the modern
pictures are placed in the LuXumburg
Gallery. After they have been there
number of years and have been ad-
Judged of sufficient merit TO warrant
it. they are assigned a place in the gal
lery OF the Louvre.
The same rule obtains in London.
where the modern pictures serve their
terms Of probation in the Tate Gal
lery before they are eligible for a place
In the National Gallery.
