Lent's Abstinence May Serve

MANITOBA NAY BUIlD
GOVERNMENT ABEIJO|Rs
Legislature Which Convened Today
Will Consider the Governments
Plan to Offset the High Prices Of
Meat the Meat Trust Created.

New York. Feb. 10.-Spurred on by
Judge Swayzo's charge that a COM
bination to store food stuffs for the
purpose of advancing the price Is an
overt act. the Hudson county grand
jury today continued its Investigation
of the big cold storage warehouses Of
Jersey City. In view of the courts
dtctum that any combination to raise
prices is conspiracy, Prosecutor Gar
ven counts on securing indictments
that he believes will check the al.
legged cold storage system whereby
high prices are maintained in sea-
son and out.
The agitation in New York city
against high meat prices has simmer.
ed down until the only remedial
measure in view locally is the cold
storage regulation ordinance before
the board of aldermen. No action on
this measure is probable for q week
at least. Meat prices at Lent's Begin
ming remain about stationary, but
eggs and butter ere showing q dis
position to decline. This is believed
to be due to seasonable reasons and
not to the agitation for lower prices,
which seems to have been considered
ineffective in the form it had taken
during the past few weeks and to
have been largely abandoned.

The Morning Session.

This mornings session was given
over entirely to open discussion. the
personal property collection question
being given great deal of attention.
There are several matters entering
into the collection of these taxes that
make it especially difficult to bring
about satisfactory results. and it was
these factors that the commissioners
gave especial attention to.
One of the questions arising was
that of making the personal property
tax lien against the property, just
as the tax against real estate is a lien
against such property. In cases where
personal property was sold between
the time Of the making of the assess
ment and the time for the payment Of
the tax. such 4 lien would serve to
give the county an opportunity of ell
forcing collection. Under present con-
ditions the tax is against the person.

with you in the hour in which YOU

cal changes In the government. ] do
not know how long we can deal with
a patient people. in this way. But /
venture to prophecy not much longer.
II hope therefore the governors and
legislatures Of this country will be
brave enough tos1do their duty in this
matter. 1t is time the people in this
broad land should bestir themselves
upon this vital question before it is too
late to do so. It would be nothing
less than catastrophe If this amend
mcnt should be defeated, IL we are 60
ing also to be cut off from an appeal
to the court. This is in every sense
the peoples fight"
Senator Boraha outlined his conclu-
sions as follows;
First. That the proposed amend
ment adds nothing to the taxing pow-
cr of the national government. This
power was complete, unfettered, pie
nary, before. It can be no more than
that should the proposed amendment
be adopted. -.
Second. The proposed amendment
does not deal or propose to deal with
the question Of power which is al
ready complete but simply with the
manner and method of its exercise
and use Of that power.
Third. No one has ever questioned
the power Of the national government
to lay an incomes tax for as was said
by Justice White, the question has
always been whether an admittedly
unlimited power to tax has been used
according to the instruction as to
method" and it was to remedy the
method alone that the amendment was
submitted.
Fourth. The word "from whatever
source" add nothing to the force Of
the amendment; 1t, would, in consti-
tutional parlance, he just the same II
1t said "to lay and collect taxes on
incomes without apportionment" for
who could then say that you would
not have the right to lay taxes upon
all incomes. The present taxing pow
er would not be q particle stronger
IL it said to lay and collect taxes upon
all property froma source. = =. :
Fifth. To conSEsue. the proposed
amendment 80 as to enable US to tax
the instrumentalities of the state
would do violence to the rules laid
down by the supreme court for hun
dred years, wrench the whole insti-
tuition from its harmonious propor-
tions and destroy the object and pur-
pose for which the whole instrument
was framed.
Sixth. To construe it to cover those
incomes from sources with in the ju-
risdiction and control of the sover-
eigny laying the tax is TO construe it
in harmony with the principles given
us by Marshall and followed from
that hour to this.

Boss of earlier and brighter days, was
