Trouble With Former Act.

Speaking of the unconstitutionality
Of the former act. there Is one thing
certain-whether or not it was in har-
mony with the constitution of the
United States. it surely did not agree
with the constitution of the average
millionaire
Some people seem to think anything
unconstitutional! which interfereS with
their getting and keeping all the dol
lars in the world The trouble is that
on divers and sundry occasions they
.)have been able to make the nation
stand for this idea.
The principle Of the income tax is
that those should pay the taxes who
have the money. This seems a per-
fectly simple and practical arrange
ment, but thus far has failed to work
for the reason that those who have
the money have preferred to pay it to
lawyers, legislators, press agents and
yellow dog" lobbyists rather than to
revenue collectors. Their motto has
apparently been millions for brides
and campaign contributions, but not
one cent for taxes. The result has
been that those who haven't the mon
ey have paid the federal taxes when
they did not know 1t. This may seem
paradoxical. but is not half so para
doxical as most of the present system
OF taxation. Some day the American
people will awaken to this fact. In
deed. many of them are awakening

meric laughter-that is, 1t will If not
too indignant.
First Income Tax.
The income tax was first adopted In
England in 1899. Those who had the
money raised as big a roar about that
as their kind over here do now. As
q consequence the law was repealed
two or three years later, but was soon
re-enacted In a different form. This
time 1t stuck. there being no court
In England. supreme or otherwise, that
dares override the acts of parliament
About the middle of the century the
law was strengthened At present the
British government so far as practical

that a taxpayers honesty and patriot
ism do not necessarily increase In dr.

Frankly, the officials had various kinds
of trouble In collecting the tax. being
met with all the forms Of evasion from
concealment to plain lying. If there
ever was man that loved to pay his
taxes, the fact has not been chronicled
In .profane history. I say "profane"
history because that is the only kind
THAT could deal adequately with the
language of men paying taxes. In this
country men "swear of" their taxes
and In all countries swear at them.
Germany also levies an income tax,
and France is about TO do SO. Other
countries have 1t In varying forms.

creasing with the size of the income
For example. an income of 5000 per
year is taxed per cent. or $50. one

one of $4,000 per year is taxed 4 per
cent. or $500. etc. II is this sort Of an

BY OR|OLE VICTORY
Confident of Winning From
Fordham in This After
moons Game.

The Georgetown team Is back today
not at all daunted by its defeat at the
hands of the Baltimore Orioles yester-
day, but confident of winning the game
with Fordham at Georgetown Field at 4
o'clock today. The score of yester-
days game was 8 to 4.
Kehoe, Fordham's star twirler, is
scheduled to work against the Blue and
Gray. with Lynch behind the bat.
With Fienle doing the heaving for
Georgetown the followers of the Hill
would have to pitch grand ball TO win.
Cause of the Defeat.
The Blue and Gray men attribute yes
terday's defeat to the heavy slugging of
Charlie Schmidt and Bill Byers, they
making five hits between them, two of
which were for extra bases. Their safe
swats came just when they could do
the most damage.
Georgetown, in the second inning, took
a twp-run lead by punching hits of

felded his position well. Another change

The feature Of the game was a catch
by Cy Seymour, who robbed Fury Of
a beautiful hit. Sitterding was on sec
ond, and the Blue and Gray catcher hit
one to center, with all the earmarks of
q hit. Seymour came sailing in, caught
the ball by a hair, somersaulted and
came UP in time to throw to second to
double Sitterding.

Sunday School League

It is likely that the application Of the
Bradburn Club will be favorably re-
ceived at the next meeting of the SUM-

Tuesday evening In the residence Of c.

Four applications for the franchise re-
Gently given up by the Peck team were
received and considered at the meeting
In Mr.. Loves residence last night, and
two Of them were laid on the table for
future consideration. They were Brad

AS Hamline withdrew from the league
some time ago It Is unlikely that its
application will be received favorably
by the officials. Bradburn is said to
have a strong team and Is anxious to
enter the Sunday school circuit.
The adoption of the schedule is still
being held up pending the taking in of
a sixth team. Those at the meeting last

BOB THAYER'S
Sporting Gossip
Every Knock Is a Boost." "
They're of!

They're on!
That opening game, in its various as
poets, was certainly a revelation to
the old rooters who have been following
Washington ball clubs for years.
Such a crowd has never before been
seen in this city, and II there was any
doubt as to the justification Of the own
ers in building the expensive plant It
was wiped out an hour and half be-
fore the umpires even appeared on the
field.
As to the-game itself the Nationals
fully demonstrated their superiority
over Boston. Even when behind, Nc
Aleer's men played better ball than
their rivals, and had Dolly" Gray been
more steady Washington would never
have been headed. The fielding was
smooth, the batting timely. when 1t did
start, and the cleverness of John Henry
was a source of qualification to those
who were worrying about that place at
first base.
1t is unfair to attempt to gauge the
strength of a team in one game, but
those Boston Red Sox will have 10
show a most marvellous improvement
over yesterdays form If they hope to
keep out of the second division in the
race that has just started.
It was Gray's unsteadiness alone that
enabled the visitors to escape a more
humiliating defeat.

Brooklanders win.

So overshadowed were all other events
in this city by the opening game at Ma
tional Park that a rather remarkable
achievement at Brookland is likely to
be overlooked.
When the Catholic University won
from Fordham 1t was one of the most
creditable showings ever made on the
diamond by representatives Of the Red
and Black. Fordham usually has strong
teams, but the Catholics excelled gene--
ally and thoroughly earned the victory.

strength of the Brooklanders and

Gallaudet'S Errors

Gallaudet outbatted its opponent, but
Birck and Battiste were not given the
support that Hall received, and as a
result the game closed with the visitors
two runs in the lead. The game was
lacking in sensational fielding on both
sides.

THE TEN DAYS LIMIT.

An interesting question has arisen
upon the extension Of the legislative
session for nine days beyond tho con.
stitutional limit The constitution fixes
the legislative session at sixty days,
and allows the Governor ten days al
ter the adjournment of the legislature
in which to pass upon measures adopted
by that body. But nine days Of these
ten have this year been taken up in
legislative sessions, under the fiction
that it was still, up to and including
yesterday. March 9th
The taking of these nine days time
by the Legislature cuts down the time
allowed by the Governor TO sign or
veto legislative cuactments TO one day.
But that one day is Sunday; so that
in practical effect, the legislature itself
has taken the full ten days which the
constitution allows to the Governor for
consideration of bills, in its own active
legislative work, The Governor is,
ten days which the constitution allows
him in which to consider measures
passed by the legislature
The only remedy seems to be. If the
Governor desires the full ten days,
in considering the ten days not from
the 9th of March, on which day the
session of the legislature was supposed
to expire by limitation but for him
to count his ten days from Yesterday,
March 18th, the ten days running to
and including March 2Sth Whether
the Governor will be permitted to IN
du!ge in this Gctioual extension. this
setting back of the clock ns the icgIs
tions that has never vet been icgall:
settled, but if he should sign any bills
after today. ii is matter that might
very easily he brought into the court
ON the complaint of some person who
feels himself injured by the enactment

The lesson of it all seems to be that.
in order To he safe. the legislature
should speed itself along in lis work,
so az to get through with its business
on the siXticth day. as the constitution
requires, and thus allow the Governor
his full time. without question of dates
in which 10 give his consideration to
the measures upon which the legislature
leaves him to act
