THIRTY-F0UR STATES
NOW FOR INCOME TAX.
Only Two More Are Needed In Order
to Rstify the Amendments.

BY Jan. 1 three-fourths of the states
of the Union will have ratified the con
stitutional amendment granting con
gress power to pass an income tax law
according to information obtained AT
| the state department Notice of ap.
/ proval by thirty-two of the forty y-eight
states has already been received, and
| unoilicial information has come that
two more. Ohio aud Louisiana. have
recently ratified the plan. Thrty-siH
states are required for the necessary
! majority.
The amendment grants congress
power to levy tax on incomes with.
out apportlonment among the scyera,
states and without a census or enumer
stion." 1t will enable the legislative
0ranch OF the government to frame an
income tax law which will be safe
from attack on the ground of unconsti-
tutionallty and will remove from the
field of politics a stubborn issue which
has furnished ammunition for debate
in several presidential campaigns.
The income amendment when ADOPT
ed will be known as article 16 and will
become Il part of the constitution by
proclamation of the secretary of state.
Notice has been received at the state
department that Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah
have acted adversely on the amend
ment. Ten states have not yet consid-
cred it, but the legislatures in more
than half of these will meet in January
and probably take favorable action
Only two more are needed to make the
necessary thirty-six, but Secretary of
State Knox will not issue the procla-
nation until one or two more than the
required number OF states have acted.
Each state has right to rescind its
approval or rejection at any time.
The states that have officially ap-
proved the amendment are: Alabama,
Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colo
RADIO, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mary
land, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
New York, North Carolina, North Da-

SAVING A WORK OF ART.
Ingenious Scheme Of a Restorer Of
Damaged Masterpieces,


An instance of the ingenuity exer-
cised by restorers of damaged master
pieces of painting is afforded by the
rescue Of famous painting now own
ed by the widow of the late John Hay,
secretary of state
Mr.. Hay had Madonna by Botticel-
II which was painted on wooden
panel at least 400 years ago The
wood had begun to crack. and 1t was
feared that the painting would be
ruined but restorer was found who
said he could save IL.
The first step was to paste thin strips
Of tissue paper on the face of the pic
ture, pressing the paper into the un-
even surface of the paint. Layers were
added until thick body OF paper con-
cealed the picture.
Then the picture was turned over,
and the restorer began to sandpaper
the board away. After many months
of careful work he had all the wood
removed, and nothing but the paint ad-
hered to the paper. A piece of linen
canvas was then glued to the paint,
and the work of removing the paper
from the front of the picture was IN
dertaken. 1t required nearly year to
complete the work, but when it was
done the painting was left in shape to
last another four centuries.-Chicago
