THE INCOME TAX.

Following a contention of six
years there was passed through the
State Senate Friday afternoon the
income tax amendment to the Con
stitutiOn of the United States cham
pioned by Lieutenant Governor T. c.
Barrett when he was in the State
Senate and by Hon. Leon R. Smith
when he was in the House. Since his
promotion to the Senate, Senator
Leon R. Smith has been active and
Vigilant and determined in his eff
forts to have this amendment
adopted.
This measure was contested Wig
0rOusly in the committee of which
Senator Benton of BOssier is the
chairman.
chairman. Senator Boggs was an I'M
compromising advocate of this issue.
Every pretense and excuse that
could be suggested was offered to
secure its defeat by a minority, es-
pecially of the sugar interests, for
whom there was set a date for their
special hearing.
This amendment was resisted in
the Senate and defeated during the
Sanders administration.
In no individual or personal sense
it may be said that full credit for
the success of this amendment is
due to Senator Leon r. Smith and
TO Lieutenant Governor Barrett.
The measure was endorsed at the
Democratic convention held recent
ly at Baton Rouge at which were
named the delegates to the Balti-
more convention.
This measure has had and has the
endorsement of the National DEM
ocracy. II is The fairest system ever
devised for obtaining revenue for
the maintenance of the government.
Through this system the burden
of taxation, as it is termed, is shifted
from the limited of means to the
individuals having and enjoying an
income.

The Caucasian has listed as one Of
its friends the chief Of the fire de
partment, and therefore this criti-
rtsm is not personal nor should it be
so construed. The point of inquiry
is: How can the Council afford the
purchase Of an auto when it has de
clared that it can provide no reve-
nue. with which to make necessary
repairs to several of the most i'm
portant thoroughfares of the city?
The department did have an auto,
which possibly could have been re
famed in service until the city had
become possessed of some money
with witch to repair some of the
streets, for instance Market and

TO ADMIT
LAWYER TO BAR
Applicant Is Turned Down
by Judge Blair of Shelby
Circuit Court.
(National News Association

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Dec. 81
Lawyers and others at the court
house INDUCED in some heated argu-
ments yesterday over a decision rem
dered by Judge Blair of the Circuit
Court on the petition in which Will
liam +. Brown, 46 years old, of In
dianapolis, had asked that he be adj
mitted to practice law at the Shelby
county bar. The petition was denied,
the judgment Of the court being based
on a report of a special committee APP
pointed to investigate the character
and qualifications of the petitioner.
In brief, the report submitted that
Brown mad no qualifications for the
practice of law; that that being the
fact he was morally unfit to practice;
that he sought admission to Shelby
county thmough it was his intention to
go to Gary to practice, and that he had
already been denied admission to prac-
tice in Marion county.
If the Interpretation of the situation
here is allowed to stand there will be
no need for the lawyers to worry them
selves further about amending the con-
amount of legal knowledge a man must
have before he can be admitted to the
practice of law, for if an examination
shows that he lacks the knowledge
deemed necessary by the bar commit
tees his petition may be rejected on
the ground that he has been guilty of
an immoral act in asking license to
practice.
| Many took issue with the court and
the committee and it is believed here
that Brown will appeal from the decis-
ion The members of the examining
committee were Edmund K. Adams,
Elmer E. Bassett and Charles A. Hack.
Brown made his application at the
! October term of court and since then
the committee has thoroughly investi-
gated his standing. The committee in
its report says that it's findings are
based solely upon the statements and
admissions of the petitioner. Brown
in his application said he was a print
er.
