WILSON EXEMPT
FROM THE INCOME TAX

Washington, Oct. 7-President Will
son and the judges of the Supreme
and inferior courts are the only Fed
nral officials with salaries exceeding
5000 who are wholly exempt from
yhe payment Of the national income
.aX imposed by the Underwood Sim
mons tariff law
, The explanation given by the franz
ors Of the income tax section Of the
.ariff act is that the imposition Of the
AK on the President and the Federal
'ydges would operate to diminish
their salaries, in violation Of the ex-
press injunction Of the constitution,
The tariff law eXempts from the
tax "the compensation Of the presi-
dent Of the United States during the
term for which he has been elected
and Inferior Courts Of the United
States now in office"
This phraseology was adopted to
conform to the provision Of the Con
ettution that the President shall re-
eeile "compensation which shall
neither be increased nor diminished
during the period for which he shall
have been elected" and that the
iudgos shall receive "a compensation
which shall not he diminished dur
ing their continuance in office"
It was contended that the applica-
tion Of the tax to these officials would
be an Indirect method Of reducing
ard might be construed as a violation
Of the constitution. These are the
Imperial Valley press., 1913-10-07

only Federal officials whose salaries
are regulated by the Constitution. 1t
is pointed out that if President Wilson
should be reelected he would be re-
quired to pay the income tax after
March 4, 1917, and that Federal
judges who shall be appointed here
after will be subject to the impost.
Senators and Representatives, in
passing the bill, automatically and
voluntarily reduced their own salaries.
In explanation of the exemption,
Representative Hull of Tennessee,
father of the income tax section, said
tonight:
Gas construed heretofore, the Con-
stitution provision to the effect that
the salaries of these officials cannot
be diminished during their terms of
office has been held to exempt such
salaries until their successors assume
office, when the tax would apply. This
is Constitutional provision indie
pendent of any taxing provision in the
Constitution. During and subsequent
to the Civil War period it was held
that salaries of these officials during
their respective terms of office could
not be diminished for any purpose,
taxing or otherwise, and it was held
so with respect to an attempt to as
sess them for income tax.
"In view of the very small amount
involved, together with the fact that
it was not desired to raise any Con-
stitutional argument over so small q
matter, it was thought wiser to allow
the successors of Federal judges and
of the present President of the United
States to assume this tax rather than
provoke an argument by undertaking
to improve it now, should we even
have the power to do So

DOWieites Come
Before Courts

Zion City, ILL.,, Oct. 7.-Dowieites
and anti-Domieites in this city found
ed by phophet, John Alexander Dowie,
are primed for the battle to be fought
before the state supreme court at
Springfield this month by which
Overseer Voliva hopes to purge Zion
City of the vapors of nicotine.
Voliva will seek to oust the F. 3.
Cook Electrical Company and its to-
hacco-smoking employees from Zion
City on the ground that they violated
Il tir controct with the Dowieites by
failing to employ the number of men
specified in their contract, and by be-
ginning operations twelve months
after the specified date. This will 9e
the technical objections raised by Vo-
lNia to the presence of the company
on Zion City land. The real motive
behind the fight is the fact that the
electrical workers employed by the
Cook company have persistently de-
fed the Dowieite authorities in the
enforcement of the ordinance forbid
ding tobacco smoking in Zion City.
For fifteen months the elders of
Zion City have sought in vain to con-
vert the "heathen" electrical workers.
They erected little platform across
the street from the plant and held two
religious meetings. daily, regardless Of
weather conditions. Street parades
were an additional feature, the Dow
ieites descending upon the plant by
hundreds, ard several riots occurred.
Two of the elders were beaten and lay
at the point of death for several weeks
but the daily meetings continued. The
official press agent for Overseer Vo-
Iva paints the following picture of
the daily meetings:
There is a humorous and a pa
thetic side to this whole affair. Hu-
morous when one sees the persistence
of a handful of men and women
against a hundred and more workers,
and pathetic when one hears the
prayers Of the old people on the verge
Of the grave as they stand there with
uptulned faces, crying to the Al
MIGHTY to drive wicked men from
their midst and to restore to them
the building which was par of the
city which they came from all parts
of the world to build. More than once
has the cry gone up, How long, oh
God, how long and day after day
they trudge down to their place of
meeting across the street from the
factory, like the Jews st the Weep
ing Wall at Jerusalem, and the
sight would wiring the heart of an
ordinary mortal"
Dictaphone evidence promises to
play an important part in the trial,
! if the court is inclined to let down
the bars and permit the whole row
to be aired. The Cook people rugged
up giant dictaphone, with a huge
funnel and placed it in such a man
ner that the horn collected the pray
ers and comments of the Zion elders
preaching across the street. These
were transmitted by electric wires to
stenographer employed by the
Cook company.
The Cook company stenographer
caught the word "stink-pot" ad-
dressed to a single worker in front
of the factory several weeks ago The
company promptly obtained an injunc-
ton. The court held that the Dowie
elders might address the whole of To-
bacco users as "stink-pots" but that It
could not single out the Cook employees
and address them by that name, If
they hoped to preserve the peace.

who was perhaps more responsible
for the erection of these municipal
plants than any other, the factory
would have to shut down. Until Mr..
Dobbs had the nerve to build an
ice plant in Marietta we were dcpen-
dent on ATLANTA for ice. Now we
have ice at home at a reasonable
price and the profits from making
it are kept in Marietta and Cobb
County. In passing we might remark
that the head of the so-called At
lanta Ice Trust, and the men who
are supposed to control the ice bus
mess in Atlanta and many surround
ing towns and cities, are also the
men who control the Kennesaw Pa
per Company. Would if be fair to
let these men come into Marietta
with Atlanta made ice and wreck
the plant and business of our es-
teemed fellow citizen, Mr.. Dobbs?
We answer emphatically NO. 1t is
then, more unwise for anybody to
aid these same people in their at
tempt to wreck the municipal light
ing plant of Marietta which belongs
to the people, than it would be to
aid them in wrecking Mr.. Dobbs
personal business.
Even the banks of Marietta, which
we all know are unusually strong
institutions for city this size,
would have to close their doors in
thirty days and liquidate if the peo-
pie of Marietta, the owners of the
municipal light and water plants,
should withdraw their patronage
and deposits from these banks.
Now these are cold facts. What
attitude are the business men of
Marietta, who make their living off
of it's citizens going TO take in this
rate war which the Kennesaw Pa
per Company has started on the
question of electric lighting. Will
you patrOniZe the plant owned by
the city, owned by the tax payers
of the city, owned by your custom
ers, owned by the people out of
whom you make your living, and

we think in many cases with some
profit attached; or, will you join
in the rate war on this city-owned
plant in the effort to wreck il and
put the city back in the hands of
the monopoly and let all the profits
of that monopoly go into the Golfers
of the foreign corporation that con-
trolls the Kennesaw Paper Company 2
This is the naked issue and we feel
that it is our duty to put it up to
you fairly and squarely. The answer
of the business men of Marietta will
decide what the policy with refer
ence to the city's lighting plant
ought to be.
We trust that no ones feelings
will be hurt by these remarks. We
have given you cold facts and we
believe that the sooner the citizens
OF Marietta and the business men of
Marietta digest these facts the bet
ter it will be for all concerned.
Yours Very Truly,
