Americans located in southern Tama'

demanded in a long message TO Presi-
dent Wilson, sent through Consul Mill
er here, to know "once for ALI whether

The message declares in addition

away if in danger" as their departure
would mean the abandonment of the
accumulations of q lifetime.

DISCOVER ERROR
IN INCOME TAX
DATED FROM JANUARY 1, 1918, Be
FORE AMENDMENT WAS RATi-
FLED BY THE STATES.
Western Newspaper Unios News Service

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Before the Senate
acts on the Underwood tariff bill, the
income tax section will be amended to
remedy a defect which 1t was discov-
cred would make the measure uncon-
stitutional. When the trainers OF the
income tax provision fixed January l,
1913, as the date from which to COM
pute incomes for taxation they over
looked the fact that the constitutional
amendment authorizing an income tax
was not proclaimed as ratified until
February %. 1913.
This fact was brought to the atten-
ton of the Senate Finance Subcommit'
tee, which has the income tax under
consideration, and an amendment
probably will be drafted at once.
Aside from the constitutional defect
arguments have been presented In IA
vor of making the taxable income ac'
crue for the first year from July 1 or
later. AS far as the constitutional
Limitation is concerned it would be
legal to compute incomes for 1913
from March 1.
