INCOME TAX IS
OUT OF QUESTION
Not Enough States Have Rati-
fed Proposed Agreement
This Year

New York, July 13.-Although New
York by the action of the assembly
yesterday swings into the list of states
that have ratified the pre-, osed fed
eral income tax and brings the total
up to thirty-one, tabulation shows
that the necessary thirty-five or three
fourths vote Of the states, is out of
the question this year. Fifteen states
have either defeated the amendment
in one or both houses, or have ad-
1ourned without taking action or hav-
ing endorsed the measure in one
branch and have gone into adjourn
ment with the other branch unre-
corded. This accounts collectively for
all forty-six states to date.
Eliminating Arkansas, whose cover
nor has raised q. nice constitutional
question by vetoing the Endorsement
OF the amendment by both branches of
the state legislature, only thirty votes
In favor OF the proposal remain. Thus
1t is obvious that further progress
must await the convening of new leg
islatures.
The fifteen states which have failed
to endorse the amendment either be-
cause of adverse action or by inactive
adjournment, are: Connecticut, (whose
house killed the. proposal, following
the lead of the senate); Delaware,
Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New .Asmpshire; New Jer-
'sey. Pennsylvania, Utah, Rhode Island,
Virginia. Vermont, West Virginia and
Wyoming. Those which have endorsed
the amendment are: Alabama, Ar
kansas, California, Colorado, Georgia,
Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Ken
tucky Kansas Maine. Maryland, Mich
igan, Mississippi, Montana, New York,
Nevada, North Carolina, Missouri Ne
braska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,

kota, Tennessee, Texas Washington

Subjected to Similar Treatment
Attorney General Has Reviewed the
Proceedings and Joins in Report.

Washington, July 13.-Dr. Harvey
of the bureau Of chemistry of the de-
partment of agriculture, and one Of
the most widely known officials in
the government service, has been con-
demned by the committee on person.
al of the department of agriculture

dent Taft that he "be permitted to re-

sham, in the opinion on the case sub
mitted to the president, recommends
the approval of the committees ac-
ton.
1t is charged against DR. Wiley that
he permitted an arrangements to be
made with DR.. H. H. Rusby, recog-
nized pharmaciogonist of Columbia
university, New York, for compensa-
ton in excess of that allowed by law.
1t Is claimed that the arrangement
was to put DR.. Rusby on the payroll
of the department at $1,000 year as
an employe of the bureau of chemis-
try, the agreement being made with
him that he should be called upon to
perform only such service as this
salary would compensate for at the
rate of $50 per day for laboratory in
vestigation. and $50 per day for at
tendance in court.
Attorney General Wickersham held
that the law permitted the payment
OF only So per day, this sum later be-
ing increased to $11 per day.
Along with the suggestion that DR..
Wiley, because of these alleged ir-
regularities in the employment of DR..
Rusby, be permitted the opportunity
to resign, the committee on personal
and the attorney general have rec
commended the dismissal of DR.. Rusby
and the reduction of DR.. L. F. Keb-
Der, chief of division of drugs of the
department of agriculture. The COM
mlttee further recommends that DR..
w. D. Bigelow, assistant chief of
the bureau of chemistry, also be given
an opportunity to resign.
Taft Refers Papers
President Taft, it was learned to-
day, has forwarded all the papers in
the case to DR.. Wiley and will take
no action until he receives a personal
statement from him. 1t is known that
the president has the highest regard
for the pure food expert and for his
administration of the bureau of
chemistry
Dr. Wiley has been attacked almost
constantly since the pure food law
went into effect. 1t has been claim
ed by the interests affected that DR..
Wiley's rulings have been unduly
harsh and unjust. DR.. Wiley has re-
garded DR.. Rusby as one of his most
valuable assistants in the difficult
task of enforcing the pure food and
drug act.
