CAR OWNERS in WRATH
AT TAX ON MACHINES
Will Protest at Discriminating
Burden

Americas car owners, Of which there
are nearly three hundred, are up IN
arms regarding the proposed burden
some state tax on automobiles, as
Governor Smith will suggest to the
legislature, and which will very great
ly increase the tax burden already i'm
posed upon them. Governor Smith
suggests the levying of a horse-pov-
er tax of 81 per horsepower on Ill
cars, and as the average touring car
generally used in from thirty to for
ty horsepower, it will be seen that
the autoist will be touched pretty
heavily if the suggested measure be-
comes a law. Already the auto own
err pays the state 50 year for reg
istration and the proposed additional
burden of from 500 to $50 is deemed
by them an unjust discrimination, as
no such tax is put upon wagons, car
riages or other vehicles. Several
OF the Americas motorists declare the
proposed bill a most unjust one, and
will unite their efforts to defear it's
passage, if possible.

New York, July 1S-The cotton
market opened weak at decline OF

the active months sold 80 points I'M
der the closing figures of last night

looked as if the weak cables, further
rains in the southwest, big crop pre-
dictions and unfavorable trade re-
ports were absolutely demoralizing
the long interests remaining in the
market after the decline of the past
two or three weeks. here was active
trade buying at the decline and heavy
covering for a reaction, but while the
market rallied 10 or II points from
the lowest, the undertone showed lit
tie improvement owing to continued
liquidation and Southern selling.

out an accident policy for $50 on his

would be enough.
Heinsey's 800 nail is on his right

much better than an artificial grain
err Heinsey says he got the idea of
insuring his nail when he suffered an
accident some months ago which
caused him to lay off work. He says
that several times the nail has been
broken and each time he lost money
by remaining idle. Now, he says, #
another accident occurs he will be
paid $50 insurance, and consequently
won't feel the LAY off, so much.

ONLY FIVE STATES
ARE NOW NEEDED
To Enable Congress to Levy
Income Tax

Washington, July 1S.-When the
New York legislature a day or two
ago ratified the proposed amendment
to the federal constitution authoriz-
ing congress in its discretion to levy
an income tax it became necessary
for only five more states to take sim
liar action in order to add the amend
ment to the constitution of he Unit
ed States.
Thus far, including New York, thir-
ty states have ratified the amendment,
Orkansas legislature passed the
amendment but the governor vetoed
it, Five states, namely, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, Florida, Wyoming and
Minnesota are uncommitted.
The states which refused to ratify
are Connecticut, Louisiana, New Hamp-
shire, Utah, Vermont, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Rhode Island West Viz
ginia and Virginia.
The states which have ratified it are
New York, Kentucky, Mississippi,
South Carolina, Idaho, Kansas, Mon
tana, Oregon, North Dakota, Wash
ington, Colorado, Georgia, Maine,
Texas, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska,
South Dakota, North Carolina, Wis
consin, Alabama, Illinois, Maryland,
Oklahoma, California, Iowa, Missouri,
Ohio, Tennessee and Nevada.
The mere ratification of the amend
ment does not make an income tax
the law of the land; it only gives con-
stitutional authority to congress 20
impose such a tax. The supreme court
OF the United States, by a majority u
one, held the income tax, passed by
congress in the Cleveland administra-
ton, to be unconstitutional, and ef-
forts since then to enact such legis-
lation have been resisted on the plea
of unconstitutionality
The amendment upon which the
state legislatures have been voting
was the outcome of an effort to amend
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law by pro-
yiding for an income tax. The lead
ers in the senate awoke one day to a
realization of the fact that a major
ity of senator's were willing to amend
the pending tariff by providing for an
income tax. The acquiesence of the
house, of course, was foregone con-
clusion.
A canvass of the senate showed that
Ia sufficient number of senators TO
comprise a majority were of mind
to take the chances of another SUI
preme court decision and to enact an
income tax. Some able lawyers in the
senate thought they could draw a
measure which would be declared CON
stitutional. Anyhow, the senate was
ready co try the question out.
ThAr were hurried conferences of
the Il aders and compromise was d.
vised.H 1t was agreed to pass h;u
