NEED FIVE STATES
FOR AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON. y. c.. July Ia
With the ratification of but ave more
States needed to make the income tax
amendment part OF the fundamental
law. members of Congress, certain of
the success of the amendment in the
near future are beginning to consider
II In relation to tariff legislation The
income tax amendment as drawn does
not provide that the tax shall be
levied as soon as the provision Is rati-
fed. The legality OF the principle Is
merely recognized and 1t is left to
Congress- to apply the principle In
future legislation.
But with the revenue to be derived
from an income tax ready at hand, one
Of the arguments in favor of high
tariff will be destroyed. Tariff legisla-
ton at the session OF congress which
meets In December will almost certain
~ be framed with the income tax in
mind. II is practically assured now
that the amendment will be ratified by
the necessary number of States early
In 1912.

ENGINE HIT AUTO
Motor Car Was Stalled and Couldn't
Be Moved.

curious accident occurred at the
railroad crossing at SALISBURY about
6 o'clock last night when a Hudson
runabout owned and driven by Ed
ward Stevens and containing a party
Of Yale classmates started across
the track, saw lone engine about
$50 yards away, and stopped the car
SO suddenly in attempting 10 go back
that the engine was stalled, and the
party were compelled to jump, thus
escaping all personal injury, although
they were unable to prevent the car
from being hit on one side by the en-
CINE. The engine, which was num-
bered 1884, was coming from the
south on a hurry call to meet the
circus train at Burlington Stevens
was driving at such moderate rate
of speed that he was able to stop
within three feet, but although there
were three other young men in the
machine, not one had heard any
whistle. Some men working at a
nearby bridge had heard the train
whistle, but ii was generally agreed
afterward that the engine had
whistled half a mile away. While it
was realized that the engineer acted
as he thought was wise, all the oc-
cupants of the machine felt certain
that he could not have thrown on his
brake inasmuch as he did not stop
his engine at all until he had cleared
the curve to the north and was at
least three hundred yards to the
other side of the road.
After jumping, the young men had
time TO attempt to pull their auto
mobile out of harms way but were
unable to save it. While the princi-
pals were glad to escape what might
have been serious accident, they
were at the same time considerably
crestfallen when they found that
their machine was entitled to a
prominent position on the Benning
ton sick list The men in the car
were Yale classmates and guests of

POSTMASTERS IS

Would Also Like to Be Relieved
Of Other Appointments
WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATION
President Would Put Every Office up
to U. S. District Attorney
Out Of Politics

Washington, June 1G.--The first au
thoritative answer to the charge that
the administration uses the appoint
i've power of the president to further
political ends was made by President
Taft yesterday. In conversation with
friends the president declared that
he would be delighted If Congress
would take from his hands the duty
of naming collectors of internal rev.
enue, United States marshals and
postmasters of the second and third
classes.
The president told his visitors that
nothing which congress could do
would be received more gladly by
him than this act He would be hap
py, he said, if congress would extend
the civil service law to include such
offices. Practically every post up to
the grade of United States District
attorney, the president told his call
ers. should be put under the civil SER
vice regulations.
The president has recommended
such action to congress in past mes
sages and he said he expects to make
similar recommendations in the fu-
ture. He declared his belief that
there is a lot Of hypocrisy" in the
charges made by Senators and others
that a political machine has been
built up through appointments to
such offices.
