which has provoked loud protests from

riveted, air tight, bomb proof and safe
from any assaults. That is the condi-
ton of the new income take law, ac-
cording to its author, Representative
Cordell Hull OF Tennessee. He says
the bill is absolutely impregnable
against attack in the courts. 1t has
been drawn with such care, Hull de
clares, that no high priced corporation
lawyer can pick a flaw in it which
might imperil its enforcement. Reports
that the new law was to be tested in
the courts have reached congress. HUI
and the members OF the house ways
and means committee vii fh drew the
new law declare that if such attempts
are made they will meet with signal
failure. They asserted there was little
ground for alarm that such legal meth
DDS would be reSorted to- and the con-
stitutionality of the whole tariff bill
was not endangered. They admitted,
OF course. that if the income tax fea-
ture Of the Wilson Underwood bill was

Inecessitate reenactment Of an entirely
new measure by congress
"The two chief features of the bill
which have been under fire." said Rep
resentative Hull TO the writer "are the
clauses fixing the graduated taX--the
sllrtaX-upon incomes according to
their size, and the provision for taxa
ton of dividends Of insurance COM
panies. Both are beyond criticism of
any fair minded person, and also be-
yOnd the reach of persons who would
attack their constitutionality in the
| federal courts. The graduated system
of taxation has been approved by the
district court and the court of appeals
for that circuit have sustained the va
ldity of such graduated plans.
"The New Jersey case tested the

DR.. GATES DECLINES
BISHOPRIC OF CUBA
Writes Bishop futile He Is Con
vinced That His Duty Is 10
Remain Where He Is.

The Rev. Milo II. Gates. vicar OF the
Chapel OF the Intercession. has declined
his election 10 the vacant missionary
Bshopric OF Cuba. In a letter he wrote
to Bishop futile yesterday he said:
my appreciation of the unexpected ac-
ton Of the convention in electing me to
succeed Bishop Knight is the profounder
because you seemed TO have thought that
! could In some measure carry on the
wonderful work which he has built up in
Cuba. ] think that everywhere those
the Spanish peoples are the most inn
pressed by the real grandeur OF what
under God. he has accomplished there. II
is felt that his accomplishments in Cuba
deserve to rank with any OF the victories
of missionary progress
ITO have been privileged To share in
such a cause would be TO me the greatest
JOY Since learning your will | have
given every consideration in every way
one so called by so plain a voice from
God could give to learn my duty.
Il have been aware that, in. the inter
ests OF the work, an answer should be
given at once. | feel that the decision
which I have made would have been the
same had ! considered for weeKs instead
of for days. My clear DUTY seems to be
TO remain at my present post"
The House Of Deputies postponed it's
ratification OF the choice of the Rev.
John Poyntz Tyler OF Maryland, to be-
come Bishop of North Dakota, a post
that the Rev. Hugh l.. Burleson had de-
clined, in the expectation that the House
OF Bishops would choose a substitute for
DR.. Gates also and that it could ratify
the election of both at the same time
But the House of Bishops decided to pick
no other man for Cuba at the present
session.
The House, therefore. went into execu-
tive session late in the afternoon and
ratified the election OF Mr. Tyler. But
before II adjourned it also adopted a reso-
luton TO be forwarded TO the House of
Bishops denouncing the violation of the
rules which had permitted the names OF
those elected on Monday TO the vacant
bishoprics TO become known before their
ratification by the deputies
The House OF Bishops passed Yesterday
a substitute measure providing for the
election of a presiding bishop. This
measure, in which the House OF Deputies
concurred, stipulates that the presiding
bishop should retain jurisdiction over his
diocese.

not pretend to dispute the right of the
