INCOME TAX IS
 IN CONSTITUTION Ratification of Wyoming Add First Amendment Since Reconstruction.
 .'4- . '. .@ LAW TO LEVY a-- TAX Thirty-Six States Have Ratified tlic Sixteenth Amendment to
 Constitution.

: Washington, Feb. 3.--An .nccmc tax is now one of the provisions of the constitution of t.e Uni cd Sites.
 Wyomings ratification today of the income tax amendment-the xtren h change in the constitution and the first since the reconst tructi5n-com- pie cd a list of 36 states, thl aa-fourths of the Union, which Lave approvei the provision.
 Congress now VII enact a iaw to levy the tax and it probably will be- come effective during the extre ordi- nary session to be called by Presi- dent-elect Wilson in March. The tax itself, its provisions, and it's limita- tions, are all left to Congress. Tue new jaw probably would supercede the corporation fax and praviie for a tax on all incomes above $5,000, al- though there has been some senti- ment in favor of making the limit a. iOW as FI,UUU. SOi lcoo OIdl lGGUS4 who have been preparing for the final i rat, fication by the States, elimina- tion income tax would bring a5out 1 $100, 0,000,000 a year one govern 1 ment.
 Now that the tax is provided by the const tuition, the proposed excise tax
 framed by Democratic leaders in 191: 1 o meet the Supreme Courts decision
 which held former income tax un constitutional, W Il be dropped and some of its provisions may be in cluded in uhe new law.
 | West Virginia ratified the amend ment lass week. One house in New
 Jersey and one in New Mexico have approved it.. Wyoming's ratification
 was wholly unexpected at this time

THINE BLUFF PROGRESS
 ROsPERITY
COMMISSION FORM

Rcgre:entat ve s. A. Mil!ers House Bill No. 192, giving to Pine Bluff a commission form of govern- men, passed the House yesterday by voc of 51 to 1. Representatives ...ouvnes. Mudson, of Marion; Sain and ThIasher voted against the measure. Wilson and Miller support cd It. The bill now goes to the Sem te and unless there is strong op- posi- on against it becoming Jaw, it will ill all probability be passed.
 Pine Bluff is now in debt to amount of about 135,000. The mayor of the C ty now receives $16666 q month or Sa,n0O a year. The commiss on form li'l increases the salary of the mayor from $2,O00 to $S,000 per annum. Two commissioners, who gre to be appoint a ty Governor Robinson w.ll re- ttiyc s2,0O0 each per year The toal increase of expense to the city govern nlcnt W Il be $5,000.
 Nrayor-elect Simon Bloom went on record several days ago as being op- pCsed to the measure, on the grount tha the city could not well afford 2' this time 10 incur additional expense wiz its present heavy indebtedness and ts hard pulling to meet the cur rent expenses of it's various depart 1llcnts. Mayor Bloom has always ia yorcd a commss.on form of govern n. for Pine Bluff, provided 1t car ,.ec its way clear to make use of it He does not believe, however, that con.miss on form can accomplish tnl gccd results without the boni issue now being agitated for cities ill Ark ansas.
 The Grap phic has always urged com mi zsion form for P ne Bluff and hal many times put forth its advantages eve. the form of government now II cftcrt This paper hs absolute con fidenee in Governor Robinson and be licyes that he will appoint the bes men he can find as commissioners.
 Ts,a people of Pine Bluff shoui' first be given an opportunity to eX press themselves on the question: be fort it s put into effect. l. is ques t.onable whether the city should hay commission form at this time, wit is financial affa rs in such ba shape. It is true that Pine Bluff VII never be out of debt, but with bon issue at it's command it could take O. commission form W tn success assuf etl and there would be no adufiona expense withcut a fund to meet It..

 Montreal, Feb s.-The report that the Duke of Connausht is about to re- sign his position of goyernor-genelal of Canada has aroused grave concern throughout the Dominion as the Con- aughts were very popular with all classes. Princess Patricia, known best as Princess Pat,s will be espe- cially missed. She has made many friends because of her unassuming democracy. Her loss to Canada, how ever, will be London's1 gain, for the Princess is equally we'll liked in so- ciety of the English capital, where the Connaughts will undoubtedly re- side following the resignation of the Duke.
