The Income Tax.

When the income tax amendment to the
federal Constitution was submitted to the
state legislatures by Congress there was
little expectation that it would SECURE the
Publications Of three-fourths of the states.
Among those states regarded as certain
to oppose it was New York. Yet. quite
contrary to all previous ideas on the SUBJ
ject, New York has just completed it's
ratification. the state assembly voting 81
to AZ In favor Of it, the Senate having
passed the resolution April 10. This ac-
ton brings the number of states that
have approved the amendment up to thir-
ty-one. four short Of the required num-
Der. A question has arisen as to the le-
gality of Arkansas ratification, the gov
ernor of the state having vetoed the reso-
luton indorsing the amendment passed by
both branches of the legislature. Elimi-
mating Arkansas. five more states must
ratify the amendment before 1t becomes

Pay for Trees,

From the Boston Advertiser.

damages, as the New York laws al

yesterday put its stamp OF disapproval
upon the income tax through the action OF
the House Of Representatives in concur
ring in the Senate's rejection Of the
amendment Seven states have now thus
voted in the negative: Louisiana, Mas

New Jersey. Rhode Island and West Vir-

ming. Utah, Pennsylvania and Delaware
have taken no action. The lower house of
Virginia has rejected the amendment,
while in Florida and Minnesota one house
has approved 1t. 1t is evident that moth
ing can be done this year toward secur-
ing the necessary four or five fun ratifi-

form of taxation must wait at least until
1912 for success.

A Parker Boom?

Judge Alton r. Parker has just been
in Washington. and while here conferred
with the democratic leaders in Congress.
He found all of them hopeful as to next
wear. and some enthusiastic Asked as
10 his own views, he is quoted as reply
ing: Experience has made me cautious
In the matter OF prediction, but the out
look is certainly better than usual"
This was highly becoming in the man
who made the disastrous race of 1904
or reckless prediction he heard enough
and to spare that year. Immediately after
he had sent his gold telegram he was
hailed by his Wall street supporters as
q sure winner. Two months later Chair
man Taggart promised him the middle
states in bunch, while within four
weeks of election day Henry Watterson
could see nothing but democratic victory
All this must have raised the candidate s
hopes very high. And yet, as the event
showed he never had the ghost of
chance TO win. The combination behind
him was incongruous and ridiculous.
II is stated that some Of the demo-
cratic congressman told Judge Parker
that they would not be disappointed
should they see the democratic national
ticket headed with his name, as in 1904"
Their names should have been given.
What members of the House or Senate
entertain that feeling? Harmon men.
Wilson men and Clark men in those two
bodies are known, but who are the Par
ker men?
As matters stand. New York appears
to have no candidate. Gov. Dix is out
Of the question-has, by his course at
Albany. taken himself out Nothing he
has done there has suggested leadership:
and of course a man who cannot lead in
q state is not the man to lead in the ma
ton. Mayor Gaynor has never been in
the question. When he declined the nomi-
nation for governor last year he made
Gaynor boom impossible. It seems likely
that when he leaves the mayors Office
he will become a private citizen.
Would il be possible to start a Parker
boom in the circumstances? There was
no enthusiasm for the man when he ran
seven years ago, either in New York or
in the country at large. Not even Mr..
Bryan could warm up the public on the
subject. Apathy existed everywhere, and
election told a melancholy story to demo-
cratic ears.
Since then Judge Parker has been a
member of the New York bar, with clients
in corporation circles. But he has like
wise had clients in labor circles. and is
popular with prominent labor leaders. He
has said nothing about issues of late, but
1t is probably safe to set him down as

The Prince of Wales.

To-Day at Carnarvon, Wales, occurs an
interesting and significant ceremony, II e
investiture of the eldest son Of the King
OF England as Prince of Wales. An i'm
mense throug is gathered there and the
Welsh people are stirred to an unusual
degree Of patriotic enthusiasm. The an
cient castle at Carnarvon. a mere shell of
masonry. has been equipped for the oc-
casion. and a program Of impressive char
acter has been carried through according
to certain traditional presidents. It is
not known generally. however, that In
point OF fact this ceremony Is q survival
OF an incident which occurred 627 years
ago. Of which the Welshmen Of that day
were by no means proud.
Llywelyn the Great had brought Wales
virtually under his single rule. by dint of
masterful military work and sagacious
craftsmanship. IL was his grandson
Llywelyn ap Griffith, who first assumed
the title Prince Of Wales. His reign was
acknowledged by every chieftain save one
Notwithstanding this solidarity Edward I
of England conceived the plan of Welsh
conquest to take advantage Of growing
dissensions of which reports had reached
London. After determined struggle in

| the Welsh mountains he defeated Llyw-
elyn ap Griffith in 1880 at Builth. in South
Wales, Llywelyn losing his life. Edward
thereupon made overtures for the Welsh
chieftains and secured their allegiance.
Thus does Sir John Dodridge, historian
of the reign Of James I and a recognized
| authority, tell the story Of how Edward 1
finally obtained the full homage OF the
Welsh two years after the fall OF
Llywelyn:
united, the said King Edward used means
to obtain the peoples good will to
strengthen that which he had gotten by
the effusion of blood with the benevolent
Of his subjects of Wales. who promised
their hearty and most humble obedience
II it would please the king either TO re-
main among them himself in person. or
else to appoint under him a governor over
them that was of their own nation and
country. The king thereupon purposing
pretty policy sendeth for the queen, then
being with child. to come unto him at
Wales. who being delivered of q son in
the castle of Carnarvon, called by reason
thereof Edward OF Carnarvon, the king
thereupon sent for all the barons or
Wales, took their assurance and submits
sion according to their offers formerly
made. if they should have governor OF
their own nation. affirming unto them that
he was then ready to name unto them
governor born in their country, and who
could not speak any word of English,
whose life and conversation no man was
able to stain, and required their promise
of obedience; wbereunto they yielding, the
king thereupon named unto them his SAID
son, born at Carnarvon Castle few days
before, unto whom the baronS of Wales
afterward made their homage, as APP
peareth ammo 20 Ed. I, at Chester
This was the first "investiture'' of
Prince of Wales, the only one that has
ever occurred in Wales until today. In
strict point Of fact today's ceremony is
the first of its kind, for even Edward III
was not invested with the ''ensigns of
honor" pertaining to the princeship at
the time when his father played his sue
cessful trick upon the Welsh barons The
grandson Of this same Prince Of Wales,
best known as 1.-THE Black Prince,
the eldest son of Edward III. was, in
truth. the first Of the line to be formally
invested with the ensig Of honor in a
public ceremony.
Not all of the eldest sons of the Eng
fish kings have been invested as Prince
of Wales. Neither the present King Of
England nor his father. Edward VII. was
thus formally created the titular head of
the Welsh nation. So long time. in fact
has elapsed since the last investiture that
there has been considerable difficulty in
arranging the program for todays affair
at Carnarvon to give it full historical sig
nificance.

The Campaign Of the Year.

The Kentucky campaign will be the
most interesting of the year. That the
state is in doubt admits of no doubt. This
may be gathered from the fact that both
sides are claiming everything, and clai1p
ing 1t exultingly." Mr.. McCreary, the
democratic candidate for governor. sees
himself 10000 to the good on election
day. while Judge ORear. the republican
candidate, fixes his own majority at just
that figure. With such a famboyant
start, the campaign will shake down into
husky struggle. and from the Big
Sandy to the mouth Of the Ohio the old
commonwealth will be fought for, county
by county.
The republicans have a young man for
leader, and one with the frankness and
aggressiveness of his years. He says what
he thinks, and knows what he wants. The
democratic leader is a veteran who even
at the outset of his long career was eau
tious, and who in his age is now both
tenderfooted and catfooted. He treads
warily. searching both sides Of the path
with both eyes for pitfalls.
The republicans have a platform we'll
expressed as to state issues and covering
matters of vital concern to the people.
The democrats have no platform, and
have not had one for a dozen years. A
convention to draft a party deliyerance
has been proposed, but the proposition
seems unlikely Of adoption.
The republicans are uncOmmitted in the
matter OF United States senator The
democrats are committed to Representa-
tive James. although only about 40 per
cent of the democratic vote Of the state
was polled in the primaries. There was
no contest, Mr.. Paynter withdrawing at
the last moment.
The republicans in the matter of q
presidential candidate are outspoken and
enthusiastic for MFR. Taft. His name in the
convention yesterday met with great re-
ception. The democrats have not spoken
Gov Harmon is a next-door neighbor, and
much admired. At one time Henry Wat
terson seemed ito be a Harmon boomer
Gov. Marshall is a next-door neighbor,
but, for some reason, has not stirred his
brethren across the Ohio river. Champ
Clark is a native of Kentucky. and has
friends there. He may have more after
pate. The return of the native wearing
laurels and seeking more should count for
something when delegates are chosen to
the democratic national convention.
Such today is the situation. For three
months oratory will flow as freely as the
nectar for which the state is famous. and
probably produce a like effect Under
the inspiration of perfervid spellbind-
ers. the voters will take sides. and, taking
sides. go excited lengths in behalf of IA
vorites chosen. There is not likely to be
a dull day in the contest. for local talent
will be reinforced by capable importa-
lions, and the stump kept populous to the
very end.
