EXCISE BILL REPORTED
Chairman Underwood Submits New
Tax Measure With Explanations.

Washington, March 14.-Maintain-
ing the constitutionality of the pro-
posed excise tax bill, extending pro-
visions of the corporation tax law to
individuals and co-partnerships sub
mitted as a revenue measure to re-
place customs duties on sugar, Repre-
sentative Underwood, chairman ways
and means committee, made a report
to the house today urging the passage
of the bill. After arguing the consti-
tutionality of the proposed law, pro-
claiming 1t in absolute conformity
with supreme court decisions relatin 6
to the income tax, the report explains
the provisions and scope of the meas
ure as it would affect individuals.
while the BILL says the report.
"embcdies a new application of taxes,
it carries all the modern philosophy
of taxation. It proposes to oblige the
citizen to contribute annually a fair
and just portion of his net gains to
the maintenance of the government.
AS already stated this bill, if enacted
into law, will accomplish in the main
all the purposes of a general income
tax law and at the same time escape
the diSa pproVal of the supreme court
laid down by that court in sustaining
the constitutionality of the corpora
ton tax law.
ITO illustrate the equitable adjust
ment of the excise tax recommended
a person having an income of less than
$4,000 per year would pay nothing,
while a person whose business earns
$4,000 net would pay no tax on the
first $1,000 and on the second 5000
would pay only $50 a year
Continuing, the report asserts that
the burden of our present indirect
taxation falls upon people having in
comes of less than $4,000.
The report calls the proposed bill
com bination of the excise tax of
1898 and the corporation tax law of
-909. both of which +'have been held
valid in all respects by the supreme
court"

TRAIN CHANGES TRACK
Jumps From Grand Island to Burling-
ton at Troy.

Troy Kan. March 1.-THE strange
spectacle of a railway train jumping from
one track to that of another system was
seen here when two Grand Island loco
motives and way car, 'tdead-heading
to Hanover from St Joseph jumped from
the Grand Island track at Troy Junction
to the track of the Burlington railway.
There is a simple crossing frog at the
junction but no switches, so the two loco
motives were detoured to Atchison and
back to st. Joseph on the Burlington and
Missouri Pacific tracks. The way car was
torn from it's truck in making the jump
at Troy Junction but was easily remount-
ed and was not seriously damaged. The
crossing of the two roads makes an
acute angle into which westbound Grand
Island trains run, but the queer accident
is the first of its kind ever experienced
at the crossing. The front locomotive
Jumped from the Grand Island track and
pulled the second with it. The two loco
motives jumped squarely upon the other

received a cable yesterday afternoon
that raw sugar was in demand in New
York at 3.92. The cable stated that
beets advanced to l3s. Id and that
