INCOME AND EXCISE TAXES.

The admission Of Arizona and
New Mexico makes the assent of
four more states necessary to ratify
the income tax amendment. Thirty
two states have ratified the amend
ment, and if the country goes Demo-
cratic in November there will be lit
tie trouble indeed in securing the
ratification of it by four more
states. It's incorporation into the
organic law as amendment 16 is we'll
assured.
This result grows out of the to
4 decision Of the supreme court
declaring the income tax of 1894
unconstitutional. The court sWal-
lowed itself and it's decisions OF over
100 years when it did this. One
Justice only is still serving who par
ticipated in that decision. Out of
that decision grew the amendment
that is about to be ratified.

1t is felt here that Watson has the
unquestioned right to be included in
the States delegation to Baltimore,
and there are those who believe that
he may become it's dominating inf1u-
ence, for in its purely Georgia aspect
the Underwood victory was Tom
Watson victory.
This admission is not relished by
the Clark Howell faction of the

that schemes are already under way
to deprive Mr.. Watson, if possible,

THE AFTERMATH IN GEORGIA.

Atlanta, Ga.-Now that the smoke
Of battle has cleared away and the
Underwood victory stands out plain,
many interesting facts have come to
light in connection with the result.
Chief among these are the figures
which apparently indicate beyond
question that Hon. Thomas e. Wat
sons old-time populist following
swung solidly into line behind him,
backing him in his fight for Under
wood, helping carry the State for the
house leader and re-establishing Mr..
Watson as a strong political factor
in Georgia.
On no other hypothesis can politi-
clans here explain the fact that such
counties as Ebert and Greene,
which have been solidly in the Hoke

EDITORIAL NOTES
by j. I'd. WATSON

4 GOOD many politicians see in Mr.. Bry-
ans support Of Clark in one section and
his support of Wilson in another section the
Nebraskan's scheme to tie the convention in
deadlock, with Bryan the benefciary-they see
q Locked convention with Mr.. Bryan coming
TO the front at the critical moment with
another "Cross of Gold, Grown of Thorns"
Hash OF oratory to sweep the convention off
it's feet
Certainly there will be enough level heads
at Baltimore to prevent any such calamity
Detailing the Democratic party-certainly
there Will be those present who have three
times seen Mr. Bryan lead their party to dis
astrous defeat, and who know that his nominal
ton this year will mean repetition of 1896,
1900 and 1908.
The Democratic nominee must be the strong
est man that the Democrats can put out-a
man in whom the people have confidence-a
man with record behind him that will stand
the acid test
BY shis antagonism of Underwood Mr..
Bryan has antagonized the only tariff reduc-
ton that Congress has enacted within the
memory of this generatlon-by his antagonism
OF the Democratic leader Of the House Mr.
Bryan has antagonlzed the work done by the
Democratic House upon whose record the
democrats must ride to victory in November.
Mr.. Bryan can never be elected President,
because he has lost the confidence Of thousands
Of his own party, and they no longer look to
Mr.. Bryan as their Moses-they no longer do
as Bryan says do, simply because Bryan said
SO.
Even in the South, Bryan has lost out-in
Florida, week before last Mr. Bryan met one
OF his most crushing defeats
He went to Florida with the purpose of
swinging Florida to Wilosn, but instead of
FLORIDA going for Wilson it went for Under
wood by big majority.
Although Ar. Bryan's speech in Jackson
vile was made at the principal amusement
park, and the admission was Free there were
less than 5000 people out to hear him.
All day long before the speech in the even
ing, steam piano attached to an automobile
paraded the streets advertising Mr.. Bryan's
address at the park that evening With admis-
sion free, and good time promised to all, the
people would not go out to hear him, and they
voted against what he advised.
Ten years ago, under the same conditions
that gave Mr.. Bryan a crowd of less than
5000, he would have had a crowd that taxed
the capacity of the park-the crowd would
have been nearer $4,000 than 5000.
In spite OF the fact that Mr. Taft is max
ing campaign speeches in his own behalf--is
making a personal appeal to the rank and
file of the Republican party to give their vote
to their, fresident-it is being shown more

conclusively with each primary that he can
never be elected President again.
In the Massachusetts primary Mr. Taft
received 54,722 votes, whereas in 1908 he
received 265,966 votes for Pres1dent-in Bos-
ton he received LILA votes in the primary,
whereas he received 46,337 in 1908.
In other sections of the country. the result
has been about the same-the Republicans
have shown that they are determined not to
again support the man they elected President
four years ago.
In the West as we'll as in the East, Mr..
Taft has poled only from 90 to 80 per cent
of the vote cast for him in 19O8-the 70 or 50
per cent that elected Mr.. Taft in 1908 will
vote against Mr.. Taft in 1912
With the right man leading their fight the
Democrats can win
With 70 or so per cent of the Republicans
rebuking the Republican President by refus-
ing to heed his direct appeal to them, there is
splendid opportunity for the Democrats to
take advantage OF.
George W. Perkins is contributing some
very interesting political literature to the
Republican campaign in connection with his
contributions to Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign
fund in 1904.
III leCJer TO Nlr. iaftS campaign manager.
Perkins says that he "was a member Of the
Harvester and the Steel corporations in 1903
when Mr.. Taft ran for President: that he
contributed to the campaign; that he raised
additional money at the request of Senator
Crane of Massachusetts, who 'teleph0ned me
repeatedly about the financial progress, and
that finally, when the campaign was over
there was pressing deficit Of $4,000 The
national treasurer informed Perkins he could
not raise the money from anybody.
ut was evident that the friends and rela-
tiyes of the newly elected President took no
interest in paying leftover bills after Mr. Taft
had been elected. [ was asked to loan the COM
mittee $4,000, which did, taking the note Of
Mr.. George r. Sheldon, treasurer, which as yet
has not been paid"
Mr.. Perkins also criticises the publishing
of part Of the correspondence in connection
with the Harvester Trust-cEaiming that only
part has been made public, and not the most
interesting part by far. Mr.. Perkins says:
I'm spite of the fact that the Senate called
for the correspondence from 1904 down to
date, your candidate deliberately caused to be
given out only one years correspondence.
This was clearly done because it was the only
year In which Mr.. Roosevelt took any action
IN the Harvester case, AS your campaign is
making a speciality jThst now of publishing
correspondence, personal and otherwise, on
various subjects, why don't you publish all
that has occurred between the present Admin
istration and the Harvester Company during
the past twelve months? Such information,
II made public would give the people an excel
lent opportunity to form fair judgment as

CHAUFFEUR WHO HUSTLED
 PASSENGERS OUT OF GAR
 TO DEATH HELD FOR TRIAL

Herman Block, aged 20, who drove his fathers car on a spectacular joy ride with fatal termina tion, is at lib. erty only because his mother pledged her property to the sum of $1,5OO for his appearance in the Newtown court charged with manslaughter.
 Block is the driver of the car from which Levi c. Gilbert of Monroe was flung on the afternoon of Wednesday July 31. Gilbert died at the Danbury hospital last Saturday evening from alcoholic meningitis, the result of his injuries.
 Block drove the car through New town at tremendous speed, and when passing over a particularly rough DOT tion of the roadway down hill both Gilbert and Francis M. Keane, who occupied the rear seat,. were thrown high in the air. and when they dropped back the car had gone from under them. They fell into the roadway Keane escaping without serious in- juries.

ALL CORPORATION BONDS
 SUBJECT TO TAXATION
Attorney General Light Says That's the Rule Unless Special Exemp-
 tion is Made By Law.

Attorney General John H. Light has given Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin an important opinion relative to the taxation of bonds issued by business corporations in the state The opinion is as follows:
 Tn your favor requesting my opin- ion you say: There seems to be an idea in some parts of the state that bonds issued by business corporations organ ized under general or special laws are exempt from taxation in this state. Will you kindly at your early conven- fence give me your opinion relative to the taxability of bonds, issued by mer- cantile and manufacturing corpora tions in this state?
