The last shoot ing was begun by Scott, according to Hughes. He later took Scott's pistol from him and killed Scott, he. says.

WILL TAX INCOMES
 OVER S5, ,000 Individuals and Co-Partner- ships Must Pay Ex- else Tax.
BONDS AND SALARIES
Object is to Get Revenue For the Coy. ernment-Law is Far
 Reaching.

Washington, March 1.-To the great astonishment of every Democrat in the House, with the exception of the Ways and Means Committee, Chairman Underwood, of that body, tonight introduced into the Democra- tic party caucus a bill levying an ex- else tax of one per cent per ennum On all net incomes of more than $5,00O per annum enjoyed by individuals ( o-parnerships.
 If the proposed excise bill becomes law the government wili derive rev enue approximating $50,0O0,OO0 This vast sum would in part reimburse the treasury for the loss accruing from free raw sugar, which is provided ia a second bill introduced by Chairman Underwood and adopted by the caucus,
 Through free raw sugar the Demo- crats hope to reduce the price iof sll- gar about one half cent per pound and relieve the American consumer of an annual burden of $107, ,000,000
 The proposed income tax to individ- uals and co-partnerships is an exten sion of cne per cent of the excise tax
 
 corporations The constitutionality ot the corporation tax law is upheld by the Supreme Court.
 Belief is expressed by Democratic leaders tonight that the same decision will also cover the proposed new law. Under the bill every perscn in the United States lwill have to pay the tax on his income exceeding $5,O00 if he is not already paying the tax un- der the corporation tax law. The sal aries of state officers alone are exempt. The law will apply to members of Congress and to salary earners whose salaries exceed $5,000 per anrum. It will apply td bond holders and cor porations who now escape taXat.ol and tlo those whose incomes are held in trust estates, where the funds are invested in real estate or other prop critics not generally included under the title of business. Nonresidents must pay the income tax as well as residents.

Should Paris Own Her Light
Plants,

j This question is being freely agitat-
ed, and seems 10 meet the approval of
a. large number of the citizens of this
city. who have expressed themselves
as being highly in favor of the NUM-
cipal ownership of the lighting plants
IF the city.
From the course the matter has
taken 1t is highly probable the city
nay take some action. not at present,
however, but at some future time to
take over the property now operated
by corporation and own and operate
it's own gas and electric light plants.
The fact that the citizens are up in
charges registered against the con-
sumers by the corporations, may be
responsible for the move in this Fdirec-
ton that has been started, and may
have considerable bearing on the coun-
Gil in asserting itself one day or the
other.
1t is fact we'll known that other
towns in the state which own and con-
troll their electric and gas So stems as
well as waterworks. are making the
institutions pay and at the same time
are giving the consumers their pro-

plant. and from all accounts it is Civ
ing the best of service, supplying the
town with day service that is the
equal of any in the State, and it is
stated the plant is turning money into
the city treasury.
We are of the opinion that the
ownership of the lighting
plants in the city would be the proper
move and in event the matter comes |
before the Council it should lose no
time in taking steps to acquire the
