southern COLLEGES Organize.

What was first thought to be idle.
gossip has taken on a more serious
aspect. | refer to the proposed or.
.ganization to be known as the South,
.ern Intercollegiate Association. in
which Joseph T. England, the present
South Atlantic Association handicaper,
lis the prime mover. l had chat with
Mr.. England recently, and among 9th:
'er things the intercollegiate PROPOSE
ton was discussed. He has thought
OF the plan for some time, and realized
thatiit was not entirely fair to the club
athletes to allow college.trained
.sprlnters to go up against the more
poorly trained clubmen. and knowing
that there was sufficient number Of
institutions in the South to take part
in compositions, decided to work up
AN organization for the colleges. So
far heflias been successful and Is SO
encouraged that a meeting Of those in.
iterested will be held in Washington
on Feb. 8 1t is to be hoped that the
movement will go through, for 1t
means a lot to athletic advancement in
this section.

mainly for the pitchers. From present
indications there win be no lack Of
likely candidates for the outfield and

by three republican houses, and last by the present democratic house, During the twenty years the reform has been indorsed in three democratic platforms, the platforms of l9G0, 1904 and 1908, and 1t has been irdorsed by the legislatures of nearly two-thirds of t h states. Mir Roosevelt must have known of the effort which was being made by the people to secure the popular elect ion of senators, and yet he took no part in the fight. During this time he was president for seven and one-half years, and it is quite certain that a ringing message from him would have brought victory to the peoples s cause, but no me ssage came. Four years ago the convention which he con- trolled and which nominated Mir. Taft rejected, by vote of seven to one, a resolution indorsing this reform. Still Mir. Roosevelt did not say anything; he neither re- buked the republican convention nor indorsed the streng plank which was included in the Den- yer platform. Even MT. Taft went so far during the campaign of 1908 as to say that personally he was inclined to favor t h e popular election of senators by the people, but MT. Roosevelt did not even indicate an intention in that direction. Now, when
 the reform is practically secured the amendment being before the states for ratification he declares himself in favor of 1t. Would It not be fair for him to indicate in some way his appreciation of the long continued fight waged by the democrats in behalf of this reform before he espoused it?
 MT. Roosevelt is in favor of an income tax. How long since? His first indorsement of 1t was during his second term, and then it was suggested as a means of limiting swollen fortunes and not as a means of raising revenue. The democratic party included an income tax provision in the Will son law of 1894. When this pro- vision was declared unconstitut- ional by the supreme court, by a majority of one, the democratic party renewed the fight and has and has contended for theincome tax in three national campaigns. In 1908, the democaatic platform demanded the submission of an amendment specifically authorl- zing an income taX-the very amendment now before the states for ratification. Mr, Roosevelt's candidate, MT. Taft. declared during the campaign t h t an amendment was not necessary, and Mir. Roosevelt never made any argument in favor of [ h e amendment 'or ia favor of t h e principle embodied in it. The amedment has now been ratified by hirty -four states, but so far as 1 know, MT. Roosevelt has never made a speech in favor of its ratification, nor, since the sub mission of the amendment. made a speech urging an income tax as a part of our fiscal system. It would not require any great
The Nevada County picayune., 1912-10-11

stretch of generosity on his part to Credit the democratic party with priority in the advocacy of this reform.
 MT. Roosevelt is now an advo- cats of railroad regulation. When did ne commence? The demo- cratic party in it's platforms of 1896, 1900 and 1904, demanded an extension of the powers of the interstate commerce commission. Up to 1901, Mir. Roosevelt never discussed the subject of railroad regulation officially or in public speech, so lar as 1 have been able o find. Although nominated without opposition in the conven- tion of 1904, his platform con- tained no promise of railroad re- gulation. By its attitude on the railroad question, the democratic party alienated t h support of those railway officia who count ed themselves democrats, a II d Mr. Roosevelt, both in 1900 when he was a candidate for vice pre- sident and 1904, when he was 9 candidate for president, had the benefit of the support of those eX democrats. It was in 3 0 1 that he wrote his famous letter Ito Mir. Hartman, and in the state of New York profited by h e campaign fund that Mr. Harri- man raised.
 When, after 1904, Mr. Roose- welt took up the subject of rail road regulation. he found more hearty support among the demo- crats Tn the senate and house than among the republicans, so that he has reason to know that the democratic party has flor a long time planted itself boldly up- on the peoples side on the sub' ject of railroad regulation.
 
 Under the circumstances, We might expect some compliment ary references to our party's at- titude instead of anathemas.
 On the subject of publicity as to campaign contributions, he has not only adopted the demo- cratic position but he has been compelled to turn a complete somersault in order to do so. In 1908, the democratic platform demanded the publication, before election, of the names kof indivi- dual contributors and the amount contributed. Mir. Roosevelt at that time indorsed MT. Taft's contentian that the publication should be deferred until after the election, and even went so far as to give reasons for believ- lng that 1t would be improper to make the publication before the election. Two years later he de- clared in favor of publicity, be- fore and after the election, land ing on the democratic 5ide shortly before the law was enacted carry ing out the democratic platform on this subject. Here, surely, he ought to praise the democrat ic party for the pionee work it has done in purifying politics.
 Here are a few of the things which bear the democratic brand he will not be able to work the brand over" so as to make it look like TT. R."
