"Active, Not Pernicious."

At the evening session Senator Simmons
of North Carolina. chairman of the Com
mittee on Finance, told the investigators
that he was not of the opinion that the
activities of the lobby in Washington
had been perniCious. But they have been
very active. said the Senator. He dis
claimed any personal interest in the tariff
bill now pending. except that sustained
by his ownership of $50 acres of timber
and farm land in his home State
Senator Thompson of Kansas, Demo-
Crat. uneaTthed the first definite evidence
OF the artificial stimulation Of public
opinion through the Vaccinations of the
alleged lobby. He produced a set Of
eighty-nine signed petitions from various
sections Of the sugar beet producing area
II Kansas signed by farmers and urging
a reduction of the tariff on sugar on
the ground that the farmers could readily
stand a cut in this tax. Senator Thomp-
son explained to the committee that these
petitions had been sent back to him from
tine Wholesale Grocers' Association of
New York. which was the center Of &C
tivity of the free sugar propaganda.
Senator Thornton of Louisiana testified
that he had 10 affected interest under
the pending legislation, but before testi-
flying expressed the opinion that in the
questions presented by the Senate ques-
tions. Nos. and >. in which II is asked
If the witness has direct OF indirect in
tere: in the pending legislation, were
unfair. and he answered them only under
protest He said:

senator Thornton Protests.

Il consider IL a disgrace to have Sena
tors compelled to come here to testify
to such questions as these. The remain
der of the questions in the list are fail
and straightforward. I voted for tn,
resolution of inquiry. but I think II wa:
wrong 10 present such questions as thes,
to honorable men in public service
Senator Thornton was convinced that
the activities of the free sugar lobby
had been pernicious, and charged that
the Wholesale Grocers' Association was
a dishonest cloak for the Identity OF
the sugar refining interests.
There are sixty subpoenas in the hands
of ,the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate

CONGRATULATIONS, SENATOR BROWN!

To Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska are due
congratulations on the ratification of tine income tax
amendment to the Constitution. 1t is almost four
years since Mr. Brown introduced the resolution for
a change in the Constitution. That change is now
the law of the land. 1t represents long and desir-
able forward step in national economic policy. If
now, in making law to establish such system of
taxation the Legislators will bear in mind the desir
ability of letting large section of the public feel
the direct weight of the Governments burden; that
is, if the tax is made moderate in incidence and ap-
piled to wide range of incomes, it will be most
effective lesson
Senator Brown not only introduced the income
tax measure, but he has persistently followed its
career in the Legislatures. He has become the first
authority the subject; and it is satisfaction to
mis- friends it surely must be qualification TO him,
that he is able, while still member Of the Senate,
though to retire therefrom, to see the conclusion
Of the work which will stand as the monument to
his term of service in the national Legislature.

AN INCOME TAX NOW.

While New Jersey and New Mexico were ex-
pected to enter the race to see which State should
give the deciding vote making the income tax amend
ment a part Of the United States Constitution, Wy
cming eager for the distinction yesterday rushed
joint resolution of ratification, under suspension of
the rules, through both houses. Delaware did the
same thing. The income tax, therefore, has become
of the provisions of the National Constitution
snd now Congress can and undoubtedly will, enact
law TO levy the tax as part of the legisa-
on TO be passed by Mr.. Wilson's special session of
Congress to be called next month.
Forty-three years have passed since the last
amendment to the Constitution. 1t was the final
echo of the civil war
After this long lapse the sixteenth amendment
Tor income tax goes into the fundamental law, and
the eyenteentn-providing for the direct election
of Senators-is only little behind it. This latter
amendment submitted last year and has been ap-
proved by ten States 1t is expected to receive many
more at the sessions this year.
Although the process of changing the Constitution
s SLOW the operation of the machinery was delayed
in the of the income tax question by the great
differences of opinion which were fought out at
length. The amendment which is ratified pro-
vides that the tax may be levied without apporton-
ment among the States according to the population
and on an income. derived from any source.
There is no doubt that preponderance of public

A HUGE NATIONAL BURDEN.

The imagination is staggered by figures of the
annual cost of tuberculosis in the United States which
nave been compiled by DR.. Irving Fisher, professor
of political economy at Yale. He makes what ne
terms a minimum estimate" of Sl,235 100000, in
cuding loss to the patients of 65,O00OOO and TO
others of S570000000 These immense sums may
be compared with the total appropriations of Con-
gress which are $6i7,3S2,l78 for the current year
and were little more for the preceding one. The
Scourge costs l55 900 lives annually.
Prof. Fisher urges that greater sums be contrib
uted by public and private philanthropy. What rate
of return it would pay the country to provide for
registration isolation, and education of all infectious
cases" he remarks, is simply beyond the dreams of
avarice." Last year S15,OO0,000 contributed to
the fight two-thirds of it from State and local gov
ernments. If this sum were multiplied by 10, Prof.
Fisher thinks, perhaps in few years could wipe
this great scourge off the face of the earth"
No victory, gained by force of arms would be half
as glorious as peaceful triumph over this appalling
enemy of the human race.

ULSTER'S GUNS SPIKED.

That majority they nave now secured in listers
parliamentary delegation gives the Natonalists moi
cny moral but political control of every Irish county
and effectively spikes the guns of the would-be
Unionist rebels.
Two weeks ago, when Bonar Law was addressing
the house of commons he could fairly say that Ulster
was with him in mis- challenge to the government to
impose home rule upon that county and provoke
armed rebellion. Now he would be obliged to admit
that Ulster is against him.
The fact is a part of Ulster is determined to
try to say what shall happen in all Ireland. The
present standing of listers parliamentary delega-
tion with Hogs, Nationalist, succeeding tine MARQUIS
of Hamilton, Unionst, in the most momentous bye-
election since the new home rule bill came up for
consideration, makes such pretension more inde-
fensible than ever before
There is no more reason to this opposition on
the part of a handful of irreconcables in Ulster
than there is to Lord LanSdowne's view that the
Irish untrustworthy though his ordship WOULD
give Ireland ST lOOOOo0yOOO cash or credit in support
of his land bill.
