THE SHIFTING DEMOCRATIC SCENES.

In the last days before the change of Admin
stration, there is more uncertainty than here
tofore as the personnel of the new leadership that
will take the rens in Congress and the Government
On the one side is and more persistently re-
ported that Governor Wilson and Mr. BRYAN have
reached an impasse, and that the Nebraskan is un-
likely to enter the Cabinet. This would deprive it
of the cooperation of Democracy's leader in rad
icalisrn
On the other side it is even more strongly indi-
Gated that the Senate is to be reorganzed away
from the control of the old guard of conservative
leaders whom seniority has brought to the top in the
upper chamber. This would deprive the Adminstra-
ton of the cooperation of the foremost conserva-
tives of the party.
Thus there is indicated for President Wilson
assuming that these two developments shall be car
ried through middle-of-the-road course Mr.
Bryan, strong with the country, is not popular with
Congress. To keep him out of the Cabinet would
doubtless give much satisfaction to the organization
of the House The Senate elders who face deposi-
ton are popular with neither Congress nor the coun-
try To reject them would earn their individual
and, because of their positions, very dangerous
hostility; but nothing more. Tney represent nothing
more than their votes on roll calls of the Senate
Those votes, however, may many times carry the
balance of power.
Ii is difficult to believe that Mr.. Bryan can be-
lieve that his own political advantage would be
served by breach with Wilson at this time Mr.
Bryan may want the Democratic nomination in 1916;
but whether that nomination will be worth the fav-
ing depends on whether the Wilson Administration
succeeds. 1t would seem that the right course for
Mr. Bryan is to give wnole-hearted and sincere CO.
operation to President Wilson in the effort to earn

income Tax Made
Effective by Nation
Wyoming Last State To Ratify A
nnendment-Now Dodge The $500
Salary

Washington, Feb 3.-An income tax
is now one of the provisions OF the
Constitution of the United States.
Wyoming's ratification today OF the
income tax amendment-the sixteenth
change in the Constitution and the
first since the reconstructlon-com
pleted list of thirty-six states
three~fourths of the Union-whlch
have approved the provision.
Congress to Levy Tax
Congress now will enact law to
levy the tax and it probably will be-
come effective during the extraordl-
nary session to be called by President
elect Wilson in March. The tax it
self, its provisions, and it's limitations
are all left to Congress.
Levy on Incomes Over $1,000
The new law probably would super
sede the corporation tax and provide
for tax on all incomes above $4,000,
although there has been some sentl-
nent in favor of making the limit as
low as $4,000. Congressional leaders.
who have been preparing for the final
ratification by the states, estimate an
income tax would bring in about $780,
000, 1000 year to the government.

PROPOSED BRIDGE FOR PARK

While Engineer Nj. A. Adams was
in the city last week he studied care
fully the problem of a bridge across
the mouth of the Ramsey river. Sup
erintendent Joseph Tyson has long
felt that such bridge was necess-
ity to the park and took up the mat
ter with Mr.. Adams.
1t is estimated that a bridge of steel
and iron would cost between $500
and $4,000; one of cement between
$4,000 and $4,000 while one of concrete
could be built at 40 cents per foot
The matter viii probably be taken
up before the legislature during the
present session.
