Germany would not be content. That Is

THE NEW JERSEY SHIP CANAL

New Jersey exhibits commendable
energy and the courage of her convic-
tions in the ship canal bill. which the
signature Of Governor Wilson has just
made law. The state wants ship
canal across its territory, from New
York Bay 10 the Delaware River, and
therefore approprlates the sum Of $500
600 TO he used in purchasing the right
of way as soon as the United States
government signifies its intention and
its readiness to undertake the work Of
construction. How soon that will he
il a problem. Congress some time ago
provided funds for survey of the
route. and that survey has been made.
with unexpectedly gratifying results.
Indeed. the contingent appropriation
which has just been made by New Jer-
sey is based upon the federal survey,
and attention is also being given by
the federal government TO other por-
tions of the route from Boston to Beau
fort.
This New Jersey canal must be con-
structed if the grandiose scheme Of an
intracoastal waterway along the At
lantic seaboard is to be fulfilled. In
deed. il will form. on the whole. the
most important link in that long chain.
Whether il would he profitable and de.

from the remainder of the scheme. Is a
question which might perhaps be an

INCONE TAX DEVELOPNENTS.

Associated Press dispatches from
Little Rock report that the Senate Of
Arkansas adopted on Monday resolu-
tion ratifying the income tax amend
ment 10 the federal Constitution. That
reversal OF the position taken by the
Senate on March {, when it rejected a
similar resolution. will probably have
the effect of adding Arkansas to the
list Of states approving the amend
ment. Mondays action was not final,
however, for the House of Representa-
tiveS will have to concur In the Senate's
resolution. Early In the session the
lower branch passed a ratification reso-
luton of its own, which went to the
Senate and was defeated Recently,
when there was talk about reopening
the question, the President of the Sen
ate wrote to Speaker Champ Clark for
parliamentary advice. Mr. Clark an
nounced in reply that in his opinion the
House resolution, defeated in the Senate,
was dead for the session, but that there
was nothing to prevent action on new
Senate resolution. That course was
taken. and the Senate's resolution will
now 90 TO the lower branch. where it
will doubtless be concurred in.
The reversal In Arkansas will reduce
the number Of states which have de-
clined TO ratify the pending amendment
60 ten. and increase the number Of rati-
flying states TO twenty-nne. Wisconsin.
which was reported as ratifying. had not
taken such action up to March II,
only the lower branch Of the Legislature
having voted affirmatively. The same
situation now exists in Minnesota, Flor
ida and Massachusetts. If these four
states should approve the count would
stand thirty-tbree states for TO nine
against. with four unrecorded Thirty
FIVE affirmative votes are needed TO bring
about ratification.
Under these circumstances New York's
action becomes more important than
ever. II this state unwisely indorses the
pending amendment ratification will be-
come almost a certainty. Mayor Gaynor
has reinforced the warning of Justice
Hughes that under the terms of the
amendment income derived as interest
on state. county and municipal securi-
Ties may be taxed and an appreciable

curities. may thus be destroyed Why
should this state consent to change in

could sell its bonds? Why should IL

the constantly increasing expenses Oh
state and local administration?
The only plausible reason advanced
so far is that Of loyalty to supposed
declaration in the Democratic state pat
form of 1910. Governor Dix has said
that the Democratic majority In the Leg
islature ought to carry out pledge
which the party made at Rochester. But
the Rochester platform did not declare
as Governor Dix made the singular blum
der of thinking 1t did for an income
tax and for the ratification of the pro-
"posed amendment Of the United States
constitution" On the contrary, 1t
merely favored "an amendment to the
federal Constitution to permit the i'm
position by Congress Of an income tax.
1t did not commit the party to the sup
port of that amendment considered by
the legislature of 1910. or to the faulty
expression in that amendment-"from
whatever source derived"-Yhich. as
many eminent Democrats have pointed
out. would subject the instrumentalities
Of the state governments to taxation and
unnecessarily injure the credit Of the

MISSING MAN MAY
HAVE MET FOUL PLAY

BAY CITY, Mich, Nov. 2s.-Friends
and relatives are today anxious as to
the whereabouts of Linus Keith,
wealthy bachelor who has been mis-
sing since Saturday night. 1t is fear
ed that he has met with foul play as
he had considerable money with him
and was wearing two diamonds worth
$1,000 when last seen.
Keith is retired railroad engineer
and is 50 years old Since the death
of his mother. few years ago. Keith
lived the life OF hermit in the old
family homestead at the corner of
Fourth and Vanburen-sts., having as
his company three hunting dogs and
fifty chickens. The fact that these
had not been cared for as usual, Sun
day and Monday, led to the discovery
of his disappearance.
The river has been dragged in the
vicinity of Keith's boat house, but to
no avail Keith was thought to have
gone to Saginaw from here, but no
trace OF him has been found there.
Keith had been drinking and in q

GRAND JURY GETS CASE
OF FLORIDA SHAKERS

KISSIMMEE, Fla. Nov. 2S.-The Ia
NOUS Shaker murder case involving
the right OF relieving suffering by put
ting hopeless victim of disease to
death, was given 10 the Osceola eoun-
~ grand jury here today.
Brother Egbert Gillette and Sister
Elizabeth Sears, each more than 80
years old, are charged with the muir
der of Sister Sadie Merchant, to whom
they gave chlorofdrm on Aug. b. Sis
ter Sadie was suffering from tubercu-
losis in the Shaker colony at Ashton,
and il IS said, appealed TO put her
out of her misery.
We gave ii to her at her own re-
quest, in response 10 her pleading"
said the old man today. Her suffer
,ng was torture. All we did was to
aid her in mereiful, peaceful and
quiet death"
The county officials are firm in
their intention to push the prosecu-
ton as they say the Endorsement OF
this act by the Shakers would be to
countenance murder.
The quiet, calm old Shakers faced
the case today with characteristic
serenity and seemed to have no doubt
that they would be upheld.
