INCOME TAX SEEMS SURE
Only States Need to Raty the Amendment to the
Constitution Make 1t Effective.

Nevada, Feb. s, 1911.
New York, July II, 1911.
North Carolina, Feb. IL, 1911
North Dakota, Feb. 81, 1911.
Ohio, Jan. 10, 1911.
Oklahoma, March IA. 1910.
Oregon, Jan. %, 1911.
South Carolina, Feb 8, 1910.
South Dakota, Feb 3, 1912.
Tennessee, April II, 1911.
) Texas, Aug. II, 1910.
( Washington, Jan. &c, 1911.
Wisconsin, May 20, 1911.
Only four have definitely rejected
the amendment: Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Utah.
The ten which have still to act are
Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts,
New Jersey. New Mexico, Pennsyl-
vania, Vermont, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and Wyoming. In most of these
states The amendment has received
some consideration, but final action in
none.
The democrats have not much hope
OF favorable action in Massachusetts:
public sentiment in that state is sup
posed to be against the proposition
It is understood that similar condt
tons prevail to a greater or less ex
tent in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Yer
mont and Wyoming. The arguments
of Governor Hughes Of New York
against the amendment in its present
form have been used in some of these
states; so far as New York is con
cerned, they are now academic, be
cause the democratic legislature III
that state ratified the amendment
more than a year ago.
It is taken for granted that the new
congress will enact income tax legis
lation at the earliest possible moment
after the constitutional permission be
comes effective. The opposition o
two or three conservative democratic
senators is discounted by the expecta
ton that it will be more than offse
by the favorable votes of several pro
gressive republican senators.-Wash
