this inclination is attested by the Increased

FOR AN INCOME TAX
Democrats Will Offer Such
a Bill to Congress.

Washington. April l.-An income
Democratic features OF the next regu.
lar session OF congress. Able law.
yers, both within congress and. out
side, are convinced they can draft a
bill that will slide through the SUI
preme court Of the United States as
easily as did the corporation tax law.
In fact. they are at work on the draft
of such IA bill, although it will not b0
presented until the regular session.
The income tan amendment TO the
constitution is before the legislature
OF the country and twenty-four out OF
the necessary thirty-four states al
ready have approved it.
Ncverthless. legal adoption of the
amendment may be deferred indefin-
itely and the Democrats. true 10 their
ancient doctrine that revenue tariff
and an income tax should so hand in
hand. are not disposed to await an
amendment 10 the Constitution before
trying to collect revenue directly from
the people.
The figure that Secretary Mac
Ncash Will be calling loudly for more
funds within a year or SO and that
they could write "A much better tariff
bill if they could balance ii with an
i income tax than if the source Of rev
enuc were restricted, as now, chiefly
TO customs duties and internal rev.
enue taxes.
! President Taft is heartily in favor
n ~ a
j sition, although il may not be a cor
rect assumption that he would like TO
! see bill passed next year. When the
| Payne-Aidrich bill was in the senate,
! President Taft. it is said. told visitors
/ he woul dstake his reputation as
jurist and Il public official that he
4 could draw himself an income tax bill
that would stand the test of the SUI
preme court
In fact. such a bill was drafted and
Senator Aldrich and his associates
were told that they could make their
choice between that and the corpora
tions tax bill OF course they chose
the latter. for it was known at the
time that there was enough votes in
the senate to carry through the in
come tax 1t was also the assumption
-abold one, of course, nevertheless,
an assumption of able lawyers like
Cummins. of Iowa--that if an income
tax bill were passed the supreme
court as then constituted would not
find it unconstitutional.
| 1t is evident, therefore, that the
sixty-second congress bids fair to be
distinguished for as much noteworthy
discussion as many of its predeces-
sors On the bare returns alone OF
the states which have approved the
income tax amendment formally, a
majority of the senate already is com
mited on that proposition.

Emerson Stiles of Gardner, Mass, Il
Harvard senior, has lost his goat and
is patient at the Stillman infirmary.
No one but he knows where Stiles got
the animal and no one will tell where
it went.
II. X. Smith, proctor of Gray's hall,
where Stiles lives, was informed by
the woman who looks after the rooms.
that she didn't mind taking care of
students rooms, but objected to clean
ing out goats kennel. She said ther
had been goat in room 2S for six
days.
The proctor entered Stiles apart
ment and found the goat reclining in
chair. Smith told the senior that
he couldn't keen such an animal in
his room and Stiles waXed wroth and
defied Smith and the whole college
Mysteriously Saturday evening the
goat disappeared. Stiles hunted for
it in vain. The following day he was
taken to the infirmary suffering from
measeles There he refused to say
why he kept the goat and where he
got it. He asserts that he will recover
it.
Some years ago it was quite the
vogue to hold cock fights in the dor
mitory rooms. and at one time full

WHAT is SOAP?

This is matter which few except
chemists understand. Let us give you
little information. Soap is compos-
ition of fat and alkali, which, if prop
erly proportioned and treated, re-
suits in new chemical product which
bears this name.
The best cleanser in the world is
sculpture soap, in which the ingred-
tents are scientifically combined. The
cheap soaps" with which the mar
ket is flooded. contain so much alkali
that fabrics washed with them are
soon ruined.
Try Hewitt's Easy Task soap.
which is the true blend of tallow, CO.
coanut oil and boraX. and see the rap
id improvement in the wash and the
hands which do it.
