Hon. James A, Reed is now
United States Senator from Mis-
souri,. In the Joint Session of
the Senate and House of Jan
uary 18th, he received the full
democratic vote, and was de-
clared elected for a term Of six
years from March 4, 1911. His
speech was an able, sensible
one, and was well received by
the large audience present. II
he makes good his promises, and
we believe he will, his election
viii prove a most fitting one.
Among them, he promised spec
tally to stand for the people a.
gainst the corporations and to
S his every effort in securing
river improvement. His speech
was the mildest one as to poll
ties we ever heard him make,
but, it was sound democracy from
start to finish.

NINE MORE STATES
MUST FAVOR INCOME TAX
Will Then Become Part Of Constitution
Ratified by rs So Far.

New York, March 19.-Nine more
states must ratify the proposed federal
income tax amendment before it can
become a part of the constitution. Re-
ports received here from the capitols
of the 46 states show that the amend
ment has received favorable action in
the Joint legislature of twenty-six.
Three states, Vermont, Rhode Island
and Utah, have refused to ratify the
amendment at this years Legislative
sessions, while New Hampshire has
taken favorable action in one branch
Of the legislature only. Among the
sixteen which have not yet acted this
year the question is now pending in
the legislatures of Louisiana, New
York, Massachusetts, Maine Connecti-
cut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The constitution provides that pro-
posed amendments to become valid
must be ratified by three-fourths of
the states. This necessitates favorable
action by 35 of the 46 states before
the government can proceed with this
method of increasing its revenues
There is no limit to the time of such
ratification and negative action by a
legislature is not conclusive, a state
having the right to reverse its judg-
ment.
