One of the first acts of the Arizona
state Legislature was 10 ratify the in.
come tax amendment to the Federal
Constitution. This makes ratification
by thlrty-two States. Four moro only
are necessary to make the income tax
provision part OF the supreme law Of
tne Nation; and these will no doubt
be found when the legislatures meet
next winter. 1t will be remembered
that the Republican State convention
OF 1910 in Utah pledged the Legislature
TO ratify that amendment, but that the
Republican Legislature elected that
year refused to carry out the party
pledge.

A LESSON UNHEEDED.

In the list of disasters to ships that
| have been printed in connection with
the Titanic disaster, frequent refer"
ences have been made to the loss of
the steamboat General Slocum, On
June 10, 1904, this ship left the pier in
New York with about 1900 persons
| chiefly members of st. Luke's Luth
eran church of New York, and soon
after leaving was discovered TO be on
| fire. A scene Of wild confusion en-
sued and the loss of life was terrible
| The inspection service estimated this
| loss at 93S; the police authorities put
the number at 1921. In the investi
CATION that followed. it was shown
that the official inspection Of the
| boat had been merely casual, and that
the life preservers were practically
worthless, and that there had been
little or no attempt to train the Off
| GERS or crew for emergencies. The cap"
| tain, William H. Van Schaick, was
convicted of criminal negligence and
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment.
But he was the only one punished. The
| inspectors, whose duty it was to see
that the vessel was properly equipped,
escaped responsibility, and the Off
GERS of the company were cleared of
| legal liability. 1t was announced then
that the severe lesson would be heeded
for all time to come, and that from
thenceforward the public could depend

1t is to be hoped that the lesson of

really to cure the evil is to make il

Fears Her Position is Gone.

The recent energy shown by the
minister of finance in hunting out and
cutting down sinecures of all kinds
has reused perturbation in the mind
of humble, but little known, French
functionary. This is the official lady's-
maid attached to the wife of the
prime minister. She is lodged, clothed
and fed at the expense OF the repub-
lie, and, in addition, receives 100
francs month salary. But since the
fall of the Combes cabinet in 1905
she has had nothing to do, for all the
succeeding premiers have either been
widowers, bachelors or divorced.

message which he had sent would
bring Lena Schmidt and her mother
