DESIRE BREATHING SPACE.
New York Bankers Would Convert
Equitable Site Into Park.

NEW YORK, November oS.-Leading
downtown bankers are the hackers of a
movement for turning the site of the
burned Equitable Life building on lower
Broadway into a public park, which
would give much-desired breathing
space for thousands of workers in the
section roundabout and furnish light and
air to practically the entire Wall street
district. The property was recently pur-
chased by Il syndicate for $4,000, 600 as
the site for a thirty-siX-story skyscraper
The cost of the proposed park is, Of
course, the chief obstacle to the project
but it is declared that the banks and
other property owners nearby are willing
to subscribe at least half of the sum
needed if the city can b; prevailed upon
to take care of the remainder. One bank
er already has offered Il lump half mil
lion to start the fund.

Mr.. HULL WOULD TAX
INCOMES OF ALL KINDS
Bill Being Prepared on AS
sumption States Will Ratify
Amendment.

On the assumption that Virginia and
New Jersey will ratify the constitutional
amendment providing for an income tax
Representative Hull of Tennessee, a
member of the ways and means commit
tee, is preparing bill to levy on in
comes an wealth of all sorts.
The understanding is that the proposed
bill will be drawn so as to tax every dol.
lar of income earned and unearned above
the personal exemption Of 5000.
The amendment was introduced by
Senator Norris Brown and was adopted
by the House and Senate. Thirty-foul
states have ratified the amendment, and
the two states named are expected to dc
so before the next Congress.
When the ways and means committee
of the House meets to discuss the in
come tax two plans will be presented
One proposes to graduate the tax, begin
ming with l per cent, and gradually in.
crease this percentage. in this way plac-
in- the heavier burden of the tax on the
rich. One method is to tax earned in
comes per cent and unearned incomes

The Other proposition is to levy a tax
of l per cent on all incomes above the
5000 exemption.

Mr.. Hulls statement on the subject is
as follows:
This tax more nearly than any other
approaches the perfection of fiscal wis

sound in theory. Wise. simple and ef-
fective, it would meet and cope with all

The underlying basis of all systems of
taxation is that each man should pay
taxes in proportion to his means. real

oblige the citizen to contribute annually
fair proportion of his net gains to the
maintenance of the government.
The rates of the income tax can easily
be raised or lowered within a weeks time.

Protection of War Veterans.

Commander Costello charged That III
some instances high officials of the gov
eminent had deliberately violated the law
which is to protect honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors in retaining their po-
stion and salary as well as retaining
their positions in the government service
Commander Costello said that 1t was the
duty of the members of the organization
to use their influence in seeing that TINS
law is not violated. He continued:
Section of the legislative act when
became a law August d last protects
honorably discharged soldiers and sailors
in retention in position and salary. as
well as retention in the government SerN-
ice and while there may be few cases
where the law has been deliberately Vlo-
lated in the main the government OH
cials are fair toward veterans. AS de-
partment commander 1 propose, as far
as in nv power, with the aid of our
friends and comrades in the House ana

REFLECTION

Official Accusing War Vet
Grams of Planning Graft.

1t has come to my notice." said Com
mander Jere a. Costello in an address
last night at the annual campfire OF
Richard J. Harden Camp No. ,, United
Spanish War Veterans, that an under
strapper in the government service has
said that the Grand Army OF the Repub-
lie and Spanish War Veterans are or
ganized for graft. This statement IS an
insult to the patriotism of every Amerl-
can citizen who offered his life for his
country, and an official capable of such
utterance is unfit to be employed in a
supervisory capacity in Uncle Sam
service, and cannot consistently be fair
to veterans who are employed under him.

 When the result of the muni- ]. cipal election became known the ! anti trousers enthusiasts lost no time in discarding their pantaloons for the white cotton "calzoneS" that are worn by men of the labor ing class throughout the rural dis tricts and in the villages and small towns of this section of Mexico. But the director politico of Tuxpan, who presumably is man with metropolitan ideas, refused to stand for the change, and promptly ar rested those who persisted in viol- ating the municipal ordinance. His. attitude did not change when in formed of the campaign promise, and the intention of the new coun- cilmen to abolish the pantaloon ordinance.
 Now the friends of the director politico are arrayed against those of the new councilmen, and bitter feeling has developed. Governor Robles Gil has been appealed to prevent serious trouble. A de- tachment of state gendarmes has been sent to Tuxpan.
 In this section of Mexico the usual method of showing that a town is advancing along modern lines is to prohibit the wearing of "calzones" in place of pantaloons.

zAPATk's S STRONGHOLD.
An lmprsgnahle Volcanic Crater.
The Daily MeXican.l

The headquarters of Emlliano Zapata, the wonderful stronghold whence issue the mandates of the almost legendary rebel chieftain which keens four sovereign states in turmoil, and from where emanate the hordes which sally forth mys teriously to pillage the towns of Temixco, Xochicalco, Xochitepec, Alpuyeca and Cuantepec, and the rich haciendas of Miacatlan, Te- mixco, and Puente, has been dis covered.
 The central camp of the Zapa- tist movement and forces in locat- ed high up the Jumiltepec noun tain, situate in the municipality of Xochitepec, about three hours horseback distance from Cuerna- vaca and in the state of Morelos. The actual camp is in sort of cup hollowed out of the extreme sum- sit of the mountain, which must have been a volcano in the ages long ago. Here is also situated the Morelos mine, but repeated as- saults and piIlage have driven away the few workingmen and manager, and today the deserted spot is the place where the nucleus of the rebel activities is to be found.
 Attack on the eerie stronghold with its barren crags, stupendOus precipices, narrow paths and rug ged mouhtainside, Is nonsense; and defense is a matter of ten determined men with plenty of ammunition. The whole sorround- ing country lies stretched out be- fore the eye of the dark 'browed leader as he stands solitary upon some lone peak gazing out towards Cuernavaca where swarm the hated government forces.
 What musings fill that active brain as he measures arm for arms and strength against superior numbersl
 What if the dwarfed pine trees far down the rangy sides of his fortress could, by the simple lift ing of his hand, be transformed into followers
 Does he mediate over the appar ent hopele5sness of his cause and gnash his teeth in futile rage d the inequality of the strife?
 There is only one available me thod of driving Zapata from hi fort, formerly the scene of active mining operations in sulphur anC saltpeter, which he may now us for gunpowder By drawing clnnoI capable of firing ball three miles to the top of the next mountain the federal artillery could drop rain of shell into the old crate and drive Zapata out.
