La Junta tribune., 1913-05-10

Oh the pity, oh the pity htat she
e'er should know your scorn:
She's q woman, aye a woman to
woman kingdom born.
Why upbraid her? Think who made
her. How he reared her out Of
dust!
She was moulded in His image. you
have fashioned her in lust
Oh the sorrow, oh the sorrow. oh the
SORROW and the shame
That the dus, blown by the sand
storm should the lily's cup defame.
She was planted in His garden
there To bloom a flower sweet.
But the tairest of the blossoms you
have 'rampled meath your feet
oh the beauty. oh the beauty. OF
! the morning sunlights gold
As It's tint, in shimmoring beauty
Ger tn purple hills unfold.
Twas a morn, just like this morning,
that she Ticd the hills to climb.
And because She fell in weakness
you haTe buried her In slime.
Oh yc mother oh ye mother, she is
still some mothers child.
oh ye fa'aors. OH ye fathers. AT her
baby pmuks you smiled.
Oh ye borhers, you have sisters.
she Is some ,nes sister too
AS yc d. unto this daughter shall
be don some day to you.
See her eyes are red with weeping
and he hands in pain are clench-
cd,
Tho behind "a brazen barrier In de
fense she Is iu,rcnched
She but laughs aloud in mockery that
her paiu you may not know
''Tho her sins may be as scarlet
they shall be as white as snow"
Not until the sun excludes you. viii
excludc" it is writ
still upon his fallen children you
in judgment fain would sit
As around your narrow circle your
complaceni way you've trudged
Have you never heard the warning.
Judge NOT tlat ye be- not Judged. "
Oh ye littlo, little people. with your
little. little minds.
You have aired TO AL her irailty as
jackn airs his finds
Now forgre. you'd be forgivnc. It's
choscu peoples lot
Strike The cnose. but spare her
weakuess. and forever Judge her
not

q
In many ways the ratification o
the Sixteenth Amendment to tn
Constitution Of the United State
Is an important event, says tn,
Youths Companion. II will caus'
the FIRST change in the Fundamental
law in forty.three years; Il vii
authorize for raising revenue |
method that the Supreme Cour'
once decided was unconstitutional
il will mark the successful ending
of long political agitation; anc
finally. its effect on private and cor
porate incomes will be Q matter o
vital interest to many citizens.
In studying this last aspect o.
the amendment. the FIRST thing /,
notice 10 that the measure merel,
gives to Congress the power to lev,
m income tax; il does not Of itself
impose one. But the power that
il grants Is absolute and unlimited
The tax need not be. uniform. All
governments that raise revenue BY
taxes on income exempt the smaller
incomes from the levy. and un-
doubtcdly any law that Congress
may pass will follow the general
example. Moreover the supporters
Of the amendment have advocated
. graduated" tax; that Is to say !.
. tax that imposes higher rate on
large incomes than on small ones
When the question comes up, Con.
gress will be urged to levy . tax Of
that kind. There Il nothing to
prevent les putting . tax Of fifty
per cent.-or even more-upon the
biggest incomes. Such . proceed.
Ing. however. would be unjust. and
u therefore not to Be expected.
However tie laws may affect the
wealthy aud the well.to-do. II l.
MT likely that they will work .
hardship to persons who receive
moderate salaries. The British law
exempts incomes not exceeding
$500. But % Il costs more to live
in this country, the limit here will
undoubtedly be higher.
Indirectly the new tax may bene.
fit those with small incomes. for il
will make possible . marked change
In the whole system Of national
taxation. Heretofore Il has been
out Of the question for Congress to
adopt . tariff bill that would ma.
terially reduce the revenue from
customs. From the beginning,
import duties and excise have been
the only great source Of revenue.
Now that . third source 10 added.
the government will have more
freedom In dealing with the tariff.
Whether the tariff affects the cost
Of living much or little. the income
tax. BY leading to lower duties on
imported articles consumed by the
ponr. should give them some relief.
But Il 10 we'll TO bear In mind
that whenever Q fresh source of
revenue 10 discovered or becomes
available, there ID Q strong tempta.
ton 10 use Il Ia addition to the old
sources: to increase the total reve.
que. and st the same time to spend
more money than before. n Con.
greas yields to that temptation
when the income tax h levied. Il
may spend the new money foolishly
wit bout beuefitting any one At all.

NEW YORK. Apr. 2.-The cotton mar

weather conditions and easier cables.
During the first fifteen minutes the
market was very quiet, with a narrow

range
At the end of the first half hour prices
were l TO points over the opening

Yesterdays buying was renewed by
the same coterle of operators who have
supported the market continuously since
the flood in the Middle West. This ag-
gressiVe buying started shorts on a run
