VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
Special Corresponds

Washington, April 15.-The impress
sion Is steadily gaining ground that
the Democratic excise income tax,
which proposes to place upon wealth
a part of the burden Of sustaining the
government, will pass the Senate and
the White House. Senator Penrose,
who pretends to be the leader OF the
standpatters in the Senate, has made
the statement that none Of the Demo-
cratic bills would be allowed to pass
the Senate, but it is becoming more
and more apparent that Senator Pen
rose and those of his kind who have
assumed in the past to dule the Sen
ate no longer have the power to "al-
low" certain measures to pass, or pre-.
vent others from passing.
The truth is, a great many of the
e Senators on both sides of the cham
ber, either because they are at last
frightened by the wave of protest
against the high tariff injustice, or
because they believe in the inherent
right and Justice of the income tax
measure, have come to look favorably
on the bill. At least there has been a
cessation of the talk about the ."un-
constitutiOnality" of the measure, and
since this argument always has been
the standpat answer to all logical pro
posals, the sign is considered a good
one. Nobody pretends to know, Of
course, what the ultimate fate Of the
present bill will be, but from the pop
ular approval that has been accorded
the measure, it is admitted by all

England Americ;

A glance at the above column be-
comes doubly interesting when it Is
seen that all the above occupations
do not enjoy a cent of protection. In
all classes Of labor the American
wage" and American Standard" is
a reality except those classes employ
ed by the trusts. The trusts make
all the noise about American wages
until they get tariff wall. Then they
proceed to pay less wages and impose
worse conditions than men anywhere
work under.
The steel trust investigation, and
the Lawrence mill strike proved be-
yond the shadow OF a doubt that pro
lection does not mean good wages in
this country. In practically every
line Of industry outside of those con-
trOlled by the tariff trusts American
wages are higher than they are
abroad. The trusts work their men
harder, and pay them less than men
SIMILARLY employed abroad receive.
The watch trusts report in view
OF this fact, is very likely to prove
one Of the best arguments for the re
nOval OF tariff on watches, instead Of
Increasing the present rates, as the
trust urges.

that such legislation must come event

that such legislation must come event
ually.
The present tariff law raises about
$3.50 900, 900 annually in government
revenues. And for every dollar Of
revenue thus turned into the United
States treasury, it is estimated by
Democratic leaders in Congress who
have studied the matter from every
possible angle. that the tariff baronS
put five dollars into their own pock-
cts in the form of loot. In other
words, the tariff gives these benefi-
Charles the right to collect five dol
lars in tribute for every dollar the
government collects in revenue.
This condition is alone responsible
for the horde of mushroom million
aires in this country. On every arti-
Gle of daily use the people of this
country pay this "five-tO-One" tribute.
In the past, the tariff barons have
urged a tariff for two principle rea-
sons. First, they pretended that they
desired to protect American work
men. That this argument, which
the protectiOniSts in Congress listen
ed to with willing ear for the past
sixteen years, is farce, pure and
simple, has been proven beyond a
doubt by the Democrats at this ses-
sion of Congress, chiefly through the
various Investigations into trust me.
thods. Secondly, the trust heads
pointed out that in no other way
could revenue be collected for the
governments support. They thus
gave their plea for a tariff the form
Of am excuse.
Having disposed of the first "rea

son" for keeping up the tariff, the
Democrats, through the excise income
tax bill, have offered a solution Of the
other alleged difficulty.
Two Irresistible Measures. .
The bill repeating the tax on sugar
which will reduce the price to the
consumer 2 cents a pound If the
measure is enacted into law, and the
bill to place a tax on all incomes Of
more than $1,000 year, are two of
the most important measures passed
by the House of Representatives in
the last quarter of a century.
These sister bills, conceived and
framed by Democratic committees
were so good in fact, that eighty Re
publicans we're forced to vote for
them. Forced to vote for them
is the correct expression, beause the
Republicans refused steadfastly when
in power to pass such legislation, or
even to consider it, but when the
Democrats forced them to vote one
way or the other, they were afraid to
vote against either bill lest their con
stituents retire them to private life.

MOTORISTS LOSE APPEAL
Long Island Club Beaten in
Ocean Parkway Case.
WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT
Believe Legislature May Be In
duced to Open Boulevard to
Automobile Traffic.
WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT

Efforts on the part OF the Long Island
Automobile Club 10 open the restricted por-
ton OF Ocean Parkway TO motor driven
vehicles have failed according 10 an an
nouncement just made by the Brooklyn or
ganization. The fight. however, has not
been given up, and the next move Will
probably be made at Albany.
The club authorities are convinced that
the setting aside OF the Parkway from
Twenty-second avenue to Kings Highway
as a speedway for the few horse owners
who use it, and forcing not only discom-
fort but danger on many thousands OF
Automobiles. is wrong and should not be
permitted. They have proved the great dis
parity In the number of vehicles by actual
count, and have strong case to present TO
the legislators. The status Of the contro-
versy is thus set forth by the law and leg
islation committee In the May number OF
the clubs bulletin:
1t is with regret that we have TO an
nounce that the proceeding which was
brought to declare unconstitutional the
statute authorizing the setting aside OF
Ocean Parkway from Twentysecond ave-
nue. 10 Kings Highway as a pleasure
vehicle speedway has been lost in the Court
Of Appeals
1t will be recollec,ed that upon the
passage OF the act by the Legislature CIV
ing permission 10 the Park Department 10
set aside this stretch for horses and light
carriages the Park Commissioner exercised
his rights under the law and set aside this
speedway. whereupon our fellow member.
J. Stewart Cavanaugh. kindly consented to
allow himself 10 be arrested for the pur-
pose Of making test case. and Mr.. Cav
anaugh has been acting as the clubs rep
resentative in this case ever since
After arrest. Mr.. Cavanaugh was re-
leased upon a writ Of habeas corpus, which
was argued before Justice Kapper. of the
Supreme Court. which writ was dismissed.
Whereupon an appeal from the order was
taken to the Appellate Division Of the Su-
preme Court. which in turn affirmed the
order of Justice Kapper Diminishing the
writ and upon the opinion of the court be-
low.
From this order Of affirmance an appeal
was taken to the Court OF Appeals which,
on the first Monday In May. was argued by
General George W. Wingate before the
Court OF Appeals. and this last mentioned
court has now affirmed the order of the
Appellate Division.
This will probably end the litigation as
far as the Long Island Club is concerned,
as they have used their utmost endeavorg
10 protect the interests of the motorists in
this matter. Just what action will be taken
from now on has not as yet been deter
mined, but it IS the opinion Of the law
committee that the next step should be an
endeavor TO have the act repealed by the
Legislature, as we are now in a position 10
show the Legislature that we have used
every endeavor at our command without
appealing 10 them for relief"
