ANOTHER INCOME TAX PLAN
Newcomb Suggests One to Meet
Governor Objections.
by Telegraph 20 The Tribune.

Albany, May 12.-Another income tax
proposition appeared in the Legislature to-
day. when Senator Newcomb introduced a
concarrert resolution urging Congress to
submit TO the several states consttu-
tional amendment empowering the govern
ment ITO lay and collect an income tax in
emergencies without apportionment among
the states and without reference to any
census or enumeration" II meets the OBJ
iections made by Governor Hughes to the
present proposed income tax amendment.
The terms OF the resolution provide that
Congress snail have power TO declare that
an emergency exists. requiring additional
revenue to meet expenses permitted by the
constitution. and may then lay and collect
taxes on incomes, but il excerpts United
States. state and municipal bonds. Every
act establishing such tax is to set forth
the purpose for which the revenue shall be
available. Such taxes are TO be uniform
throughout the country and no act so used
shall remain in force for "a longer period
than three years.
On the motion OF Senator Grady the resC-
luton was sent 10 the Judiciary Committee.
In speaking of his resolution Senator
Newcomb said: 4 an Of the opinion that
the federal government has full povs,r now
under the Constitution, statutes and deci-
sions Of the courts TO call TO its aid every
dollar. every foot Of land and every dol
lars worth OF property within the federal
! domain in case Of need. Such taxes as are
direct must be apportloned. If a method
more arbitrary than permitted for lay
/ ing an income tax is required for emergency
purposes, an amendment to the federal Con-
| sttution restricting the use Of moneys de-
rived from direct taxes not apportioned to
| such emergency uses would no doubt be
ratified by the states.
"As a suggestion meeting the criticism
that the utmost emergency power ought
not 10 be denied to the federal government
/ have introduced the resolution"

MIR. Griscom at Albany.

How'd c. Griscom, chairman of the New
York County Republican Committee, was
here to-day trying to get favorable consid-
Grafton of some of the New York County
election bills He had talks with various
legislators, including Senator Cobb Some
nj the New York County men with whom
he talked said he told them he was in
favor of the Cobb compromise bill. which
combines some of the features of the ma
chimes primary bill with provision for
tho Direct nomination of Senators and As
semhlymen.
There is much question in the minds of
some here what the Governor will do in
case the Legislature sends the Meade
Phillips bill 10 him. Analysis of that
measure shows that II has several features
unlikely TO commend 1t to the Governor.
For instance, II has column on the official
urinary ballot for the organization nom-
noes and other columns for opposition
tickets" so that the organization ticket
could be voted by the cross in the circle.
The organization column is first on the bal
lot. This is very similar 10 the provision in
the Prentice official primary ballot bill of
1907. which the Governor vetoed because 1t
created a preferential position for the or
GaniZation ticket.
Also, there is a provision in the bill that
no candidates name shall be the ballot
more than once This means that no
croup of independents can have full col
umn unless il dominates d man again
every man on the organization ticket. a
proceeding frequently unnecessary and UNI
desirable. This provision in the bill means
that no group of delegates could be named
IN OppOSition IN a mart of the organization
ticket, and the rest OF 1t Endorsed by the

REUNION AT NORFOLK.

North Carolina Confederate Vet
Grams There on September 9th,
7th and 9Th.
The reunion of the North Caro-
lima Confederate Veterans, which
will be held this year at Norfolk
on the 9th, 7th and 9Th of next
month, will probably be one of the
pleasantest that our Tar Heels
have ever enjoyed.
Major III. A. London, Adjutant
General of the North Carolina Di-
vision of the United Confederate
Veterans says of it.
"The invitation to our veterans
for the reunion at Norfolk was ex-
tended at joint meeting Of the
Board of Trade and the Business
Mems Association of that city.
While it may seem strange that
the North Carolina veterans will
hold their reunion in city of an
other state, yet our Norfolk neigh
borS claims that there are nearly
$4,000 North Carolinians residing
in that city and it's suburbs; so
that our North Carolina Confed-
crate veterans will be made to feel
that they are quite as much at
home in Norfolk as any city In
this State.
Arrangements are being made
by the public-spirited citizens of
Norfolk for the comfort and
pleasure of the veterans during
their stay in that city. Free en-
tertainment will be provided for
all veterans who are unable to pay
for their meals and lodging, and it
is especially important that those
veterans who wish to be enter
tanned free should at once notify
Mr.. Joseph A Hall, Secretary, at
Norfolk, so that ample accommoda
tons can be provided for them.
Side trips to the seashore re-
sorts near Norfolk will be among
the pleasures and attractions of
this reunion, and various enter
tainments will be given for the
pleasure of the veterans. Those
who attend are promised tthe
trip Of their lives" and a good
time may be expected by all who
are so fortunate as to attend this
reunion.
1t is hoped and expected that
there will be a very large atten-
dance of our Tar Heel veterans !;
for it may be the last opportunity
that many of them will have to
visit again Old Virginia."

A Good Road Mass Meeting for
Henderson.

The Henderson county good
road association met Saturday and
discussed fully the best way to
proceed in order to give satisfac-
tory results and accomplish The
most in the way of good roads in
the shortest time.
Those present from various Sec
lions of the county stated before
the meeting that the sentiment for
better roads is now ripe, and that
the citizens are ready to support
the good road movement. 1t was
clearly shown to the association
that the dynamo only needs to be
started and then the better roads
movement would assume perpetual
motion. With this end in view
the following resolution first sug-
gested by Judge Ewart and am
ended by G.. w. Conner and w. A.
Smith was adopted by the associa-
ton.
"Moved and passed, that a mass
meeting be called on the first Mon
day in September in conjunction
with the county commissioners
meeting to discuss the making of
good roads, and that a committee
of six be appointed to report on
the law and necessary machinery
Chairman G. M. Pace appointed

committee, after which the meet
ing adjourned until the first Mon
day in September.
