Nebraska. The gathering was fairly
representative Of both wings OF the

Mr.. Fairbanks had no decided views
to express on current legislation nor on
Democratic policies, except to touch on
the income tax section Of the Under
wood tariff bill On this matter he de-
clared himself in favor Of an income
tax, but thought it should be a repre-
sentative one. The provision for
minimum Of $4,000 he believed too high
and placed the burden, If it may be so
called" on a too small number Of peO-

Speaking Of the proposed tariff bill,
he said
THE tariff should be revised with
discriminating judgment. The 1igia Of

Mr.. Fairbanks declared that the Re
