UNITED STATES REVENUE CUTTER

: much interested in the new plan
Work OF installing the new guns has
been going on for some time. First
class cutters, OF 1000 tons will re-
ceive four guns, while those of the
second class will carry three. After
the armament is complete target

tice will he held in the late fall and
early spring before the cutters go to
their posts for the summer and win.
ter seasons. 1t has not yet been de-
cided where the practice will be held
but arrangements are being made for
the offering of prizes to be competed
for by the crews.
The efficient service done by the
Revenue Cutter service in the war
with Spain proves to the officials that
the new plan will be successful The
cutters We're used as dispatch boats
and for scout duty and their quick
movements often proved a source OF
confusion to the enemy.
With the uniform ordnance abroad
the navy department believes that
these vessels will become a valuable
acquisition to the nation fighting
power, and will materially aid in
bringing about American supremacy
on the seas.

particularly efficacious for scouting in
time of war. The revenue cutters are
now practically useless as active fight

To develop the efficiency of the ser
vice as an auxiliary fighting power
the navy department plans a com
plete reorganization which will result
IN the modernization of the fleet and
the adaptation of it to 'warlike pur
poses.

to undergo a complete change. Nearly

fact that for many years it has been

{ "a FoLLETTE,s PROPOSED CON
arnuIlohAL AN ENpMENT.


Senator La Toilette has introduced
an amendment to make it easier for
the people to amend the federal con-
stitution, and there is a good deal to
he said in favor Of the change which
he advocates. s
Our constitution can be changed; by
single Judge changing his mind,
and the time required may be an an
instant or single day. But when n.
the people undertake to restore
provision Of their constitution. elm
mated by their judges, or desired
by them on account Of changing con-
ditions, the process is lengthy, dlf 11.
cult and vexatious. N
The income tax law is a case d.
rectly in point. Nearly a score Of
years ago Judge shiras, Of the Fed
eral Supreme Court, changed his lis
mind, and the change had the effect
o. changing the constitution and null
lifying the law taxing incomes. This
was made possible because the mem
bers Of the court were 50 evenly di--.
vided in reference to the question
= Z Z n Vi y4 Y
that single Judge had the power to
change the constitution, in reference
to the taxing of incomes, by chang
ing his vote from one side to the
other.
The decision holding the income
tax statute unconstitutional had the
effect of exempting the wealth Of
the country from practically all Of
the burdens Of the federal govern
Sment. Il s4, "
No other civilized government ]
places its burdens solely upon its
producing masses, and our producing
masses, who number fully nine-tenths
81 the inhabitants Of the country,
proceedings to SO amend
the federal constitution as to make
'it impossible for the courts to pre-,
vent the collection of an income tax.
During all Of these years they have
'agitated and voted and struggled and
sc stu requires the assent of two
;states to- restore to them the right
which they were deprived Of by g
single Judge in single instant. /,
TIT 1t is MOI, matter of wonder that
cases like this exasperate the
masses. 1t would be singular in
deed il they did not. But it does not
follow that the constitution is al
s'dead hand" upon justice and pro
gress. It is, taken as a whole, the
guardian and protector Of justice
and progress, but there is no good
reason for making it as rigid and
difficult to change as a granite ledge.
In our Judgment the procedure rel
alive to amending the constitution
should be simplified and amendments
should be placed within the easy and
speedy reach Of two-thirds of the
voters.
