THE INCOME TAX CAMPAIGN.

IHE lNCOME lAA NhMIHA0N
The proposition for an amendment tc
the constitution, giving congress power
to enact an income tax whenever il
wishes to do so, is pushing its conquer
ing way through the legislatures, says
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Every
two or three days it is ratified some
where. 1t has been accepted by eleven
states. These are Maryland, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky,
Ohio, Kansas and Illinois. The prop
osition is before half a dozen legisla-
lures at this time, and more ratifica-
tons may be looked for this week.
Most of the legislatures are i'll session
now, and the time is favorable for its
friends to push the propaganda. They
are pushing it with vigor.
In one branch or the other Of the
legislature the proposition has been re-
jected by half dozen states. Vermont
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, New
York, Virginia and Louisiana have de-
feated it. In some of these states its
friends say they will bring it up again
and they hope for better fortune for i,
on the second trial Except III YER
mont, no rejection has taken place in
1911. Since the election of 1910 the
prospects for the tax have materially
frightened. Radicalisn of all sorts is
i'll the saddle. If the tax can not ride to
enactment on the present wave of fren-
zied politics, it will have a poor chance
in the future.
Ratification by thirty-fvc states will
be necessary for the amendments Sue
cess. If twelve states. in one or both
bcanches of their legislatures. reject it
or refuse to take it up, it will fail. But
refusal to consider it would not be a
safe way of defeating it, Its friends
would push the measure until action
of some sort is taken. The only way
in which the proposition can be de-
feated finally and absolutely is by an
adverse vote of at least twelve states.
And an adverse vote in one branch of
the legislature would be effective. No.
where, however, does any active oppo-
sition appear to be made this winter.
In the legislature last year strong and
successful fights were put up against it
in several states, but the result of the
voting few months ago for congress
seems to have taken the heart out of
the conservative element of the popula-
ton. Undoubtedly the tax will make a
clean sweep through the west and most
o; the south,

IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB MONDAY NIGHT
Large Delegation Appointed to Attend
Good Roads Convention---Other
Business Transacted.

The meeting Of the CONNER
cial Club last Monday was of con-
siderable Importance. From the
report made it looks as though
the long desired ridge road west
of town will soon be a reality.
Nearly all the property owners,
including the trustees Of the
Home for Mental Detectives are
in favor of theroad. 1t has been
felt for a long time that the bust
ness interests Of the town have
been somewhat handicapped on
account of no road to the west
between Ralston avenue and the
north Golden road.
A large gardening community
lies west and southwest Of town,
for several miles and in order to
reach Arvada, which is their nat
ural trading point, they have had
to go considerably out of their
way, and the result is they go
elsewhere to trade. The road
will extend along the north line
of the Colorado and Southern
railroad about two and a half
miles, from the west line of
town to a good county road run
ming north and south, and will be
about half way between the north
Golden road and Raiston avenue.
A Committee consisting Of e.
A. Brandon, j. f. White and DR..
Foster was appointed to get up a
petition and present to the county
commissioners. 1t is fully ex-
pected the commissioners will
favor the plan, provided the right
of way is given by all the prop.

My cousin and | followed the
chase for miles over hill and

a fox from the cover close to

a grand sight to see him set off

hounds in full chase, followed by
the hunters.
We tramped miles in the sew

the American way: Here the
rabbits live in the hedges which
are of dirt perhaps four or five
feet high and three to five feet

nets and guns. First the ferret
was muzzled, then the nets were
put over the holes on one side of
the hedge. The man with the
gun stood on the other side in
case the rabbit bolted in his di-
rection. The ferret was sent in

spent many enjoyable hours
in country walks around Ply
mouth. The hills are grand, the
harbor is wonderful, one of the
finest, if not the finest in the
world. The water is very deep,
and all so land locked that there
is room for the whole navy to
hide and be perfectly safe. Of
course the hills all about are
strongly fortified. What grand
views one has from these hills
especially as the sun is setting
across the water.
One Saturday afternoon | was
asked to go for a country walk
with a young man | had met. We
crossed the harbor by the boat
bridge, an odd contrivance be-
longing to General Sir Reginald
Pole-Carew, pronounced Pole
Garry. We walked, through
country lanes and fields, to a
very quaint village with an old
church Of 1906. On we tramped
for miles through delightful
country along the rugged, rocky
sea coast and just in time to wit
ness a gorgeous sunset on the
Sound. We tramped fully fifteen
miles in all, missed the last boat
across to Plymouth and had to
hire a rowboat across. 1t was a
delightful row with full moon

the day by attending a splendid

who is an electrician in the navy
on through the Dock Yards, the
largest, | think, and best
equipped in the world, and on
board two of the large battle
ships. One was the Vanguard,
one of the most powerful fight
ing machines in the world. 1t
is a super dreadnaught of over 90
600 tons displacement. 1t fairly
bristles with guns. 1t has four
twelve inch guns and what mon
ters they are. There are a num-
Der of 9.5 guns and many small
ones. TheAEnglish navy has a
new gun called the 1876 inch gun.
This means the width across the
mouth of the gun. 1t has the
power to send a shell of 1850
pounds weight through twelve
inches of the finest steel at a dis
tance of seven miles. The gun
will carry a distance of twenty
miles so that the gun from Dover
could send its destruction across
the channel into Calias, France.
The shell travels at the rate of
thirty miles per minute. 1t is
fired by pressing a button which
starts a current of electricity.
200 pounds of cordite are neces-
sary to discharge the gun, and
the shell itself contains 100pounds
Of bursting material. The shell
is forced from the gun by the
immense power of the gas formed
by the explosion of the cordite.
Cordite is not a powder but it
has the same effect. 1t looks
like a cord. 1t is smokeless. 1t
costs nearly $1,000 to fire one
shell. A IL inch gun discharges
a shell weighing $50 pounds. A
1875 inch gun weighs so tons. 1t
of course is not made of one solid
piece of steel as it must with
stand the great shock of firing.
The gun is made in layers, and
compartments. In the largest
gun there are III miles of coiled
wire.
