INCOME TAX EQUITABLE
Says Governor Fort In Special M:;,
sage to New Jersey Legislature.


Trenton, n. j., Feb. s. - Governor
Fort sent q special message to the leg
islature urging the adoption in this
state of the proposed sixteenth amend
ment to the United States constitu
tion permitting congress to levy an in.
come tax. The amendment has not
met with favor OH the part of pollti.
cal leaders generally in this state and
It's adoption by the legislature is re.
garded as doubtful. The governor in
his message described an income tax
as the most just and equitable form Of
tax that can be levied and says that it
is evident that the burden of general
taxes is not proportionately borne by
all upon whom the burden rests.
THE citizen of moderate holdings"
the message continues, whether real
or personal, usually does not escape.
1t has been stated with some semb.
lance of certainty, that over 80 per
cent of all the vested wealth of this
country is owned and controlled by
5000 estates, corporations and indi.
viduals. 1t is obvious so per cent OF
the annual taxes levied is not borne
by the group Just mentioned. 1t may
be that this estimate is inaccurate
The casual observer, however, is con-
vinced that the burden of the taxpay-
ing is borne very largely, and out of
all due proportion, by the citizens of
moderate means"

NATIONAL RESOURCES
Clifford PinchOt Gives His Views
on Conservation Bills.

Three Of the Bills, He Says, Are Posi-
lively Bad, Two Are Good but Need
Slight Changes, and Two Are Bad
In Equal Proportion - Waterpower
Bill Has Defects as to Conservation
and Also Interest Of the Companies.
Washington, Feb. S.-The National
Conservation association, of which
Clifford Pirchot is president, intends
to take an active interest in politics.
Mr.. Pinchot has issued a circular let
Ter TO the members of the association
outlining the attitude to be assumed
by the members of that organization
towards nine bills relating to the con.
servation of the natural resources of
the country introduced in congress on
behalf of the secretary of the interior,
in which the association is interested
He advised the members of the as
sociaticn to write to their members
of congress on the subject. Two Of
the bills, he said, are good but needed
slight changes. Two are bad in equal
proportion. Three other bills are bad.
Nothing is more important to this
association" the letter said than the
passage of good laws for the protec-
tion of our natural resources at pres
emf session of congress. For that rea-
son your officers expect to keep in
touch with the progress of legislation
with the view to making reports when
action by the members is required"
Discussing one of the bills, the wa.
terpower bill, Mr.. Pinchot said: at
has conclusive defects whether seen
from the point of view of conservation
or from that of the waterpower COM
panies. II imposes on the datter re-
strictions which are far more burden.
some to them than they are valuable
to the government.
Such is the possible unforeseen in.
crease OF charge at every ten year per-
iod that II would seriously hamper the
financing of such enterprises. The
immediate effect of the passage of
this bill would doubtless be to stop
the development of waterpower on
government land. The restrictions
on rates charged to the public would
be easy to evade. The provisions
against monopoly are less effective
than those now in force under the sec
retary of agriculture, from whom by
a radical departure from existing
laws. and at the obvious cost of dupli-
cation of work. 1t takes the control OF
waterpower development in national
forests.

CONFLICTING REPORTS
President Madriz Claims a Victory
and So Do the insurgents.

Washington, Feb, 8, - Sepor Don
Luis F. Corea, former minister from
Nicaragua, who Is the representative
of the Madriz faction, received ca
blegram from President Madriz claim
ing that his troops won a victory over
the insurgents. The revolutionlsts,
the dispatch added, had been sur
rounded and defeated.
Officers of the state department,
however, do not believe that this dis.
patch is correct because official re.
ports have been received at the navy
department saying that the insurg.
ehts won the battle.
Jose De Oliyares, the American con
sui at Managua, reported to the state
department that strict censorship
had been established at Managua by
President Madriz. The officers of the
department believe this has been the
cause of the dearth of dispatches from
Managua within the last few days.
