INCOME TAX AMENDMENT
BECOMES PART OF CON.
Dem ocrats Framing Bill to Make
Effective New Amendment But
One Other Amendment
Pending.
Washington D. C. Feb. 10, 1918,

Washington D. c. Feb. 10, 1918.
With the favorable action OF the
legislatures of Wyoming and Delaware,
the income tax amendment is now
part of the Federal Constitution. Not
since 1870, when the famous civil rights
bill became a fundamental law, has
the Constitution Deen amended until
now.
The new amendment provides: XVI.
The Congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes on incomes. from what
ever source derived. without appor.
tionment among the several states and
without regard to any census or ap.
portionment."
The democrats are greatly pleased
over the final ratification of this amend
ment; and are already at work on a
bill providing for an income tax.
Representative Hull, of Tennessee, who
has fought for an income tax for many
years, will be the most active member
in framing this bill. Some favor tax
on all incomes over $500 per year,
with a proportionately greater tax on
incomes over $4,000.
One method suggested to insure
collection of the tax is the British plan
of collecting at the source, by requiring
firms to certify the salaries and fees
paid their employees, and to pay the
amount of the tax direct into the treas
ury. this would surely catch the Salariet
man, whose income is large enough tt
tax. Congress will provide every pos
siule safeguard for the collection OF
great incomes and to prevent ever!
lodging. Severe punishment for false
representation will be provided, and i
is safe to say that at the bottom of eacl
stateman's heart is the desire to "ge
after" some of the great incomes, th'
staggering amounts of which have beer
revealed by recent inquiries and cour
records. The great estates OF tn
Astors and Vanderbilts, and the enor
nous incomes of Carnegie, Rockefelle
and others will be carefully included
and after few years of practical oper
alton, tax rates may be changed an
made easier on the man of moderat
means.
The only other amendment now pene
ING is that for the direct electing @
United States senators, submitted t
the state legislatures last summer; bu
, the advocate of several more are actlV
in Congress. In the Senate there wa
vigorous discussion of the proposal
, limit the President to single term

PlPED A BOYS HEART SACK
a Foreign Liquid Was Drained
Through Tube From the Peri
cardium of Youth.

st. Louis.-Monroe Rodgers, twelve
years old, is recovering at the city.
hospital after having undergone an
operation in which a silver tube was
inserted in his breast and placed
against the pericardium of his heart
to drain a liquid which threatened to
stop the beating Of his heart.
The operation is the first of its
kind ever performed at the city hos
pital and is considered one of the
most dangerous operations known to
medical science. 1t was performed
by Or. Fred Hagler and two assist
ants. The physicians said the boy
will be we'll in a few days.
Monroe entered the hospital July 5
suffering from a stone bruise on the
right foot. The physicians noticed
that at times his face became purple
and he showed signs of difficult
breathing. A consultation was held
and 1t was decided that his blood
either had CONCEALED in some section
near the heart or a foreign substance
had caused an enlargement OF the
pericardium.
An x-ray was made and 1t was
found that the pericardium was three
times Its normal size. Only an OPP
Grafton could save the boys life.
