Many Of the press dispatches tell
Of the new constitution that has been
adopted by the Congregational church
at its convention at Kansas City. Ac.
cording to our understanding this is
not quite correct. One Of the points
Of difference between Congregational
lists and many other Christians is that
the Congregationalists believe that
each congregation constitutes a church
by itself. and that it is self governing
in all respects, both as to organization,
discipline and doctrine. The national
council, therefore, is a council Of Con-
gregational churches, not Of the Con-
gregational church, and the declara-
tons Of that body are advisory rather
than mandatory.

A note in a bulletin from the agri-
cultural department says that wood
block paving. tried and discarded in
many cities Of the United States thir-
ty years ago, is now coming back into
marked favor, due to improved meth
DDS Of treating and handling the
blocks. Wood block paving, where
the wood is Of the right sort, properly
treated and properly laid, is one Of
u most durable paving materials
that we have. Bad results are exper-
fenced where unsound wood is used,
or where It is not thoroughly saturat-
ed with c%reosote. This latter condition
may be due to either Of two causes.
Sufficient time Or sufficient pressure
for complete saturation may not have
been given, or the timber may not
have been dry enough when the oil
vas administered. In either case
there will be a core Of untreated wood
in the middle of the block. This will
absorb moisture. causing expansion
and contraction. heaving and crack
ing, and shortening the life of the
pavement. Sound wood thoroughly
saturated is practically i~ndestructible.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1913.
NO EXTRA sEssIoN-PERHAPs.

Answering an inquiry addressed to
him by the governor the attorney gen.
eral Of the state expresses the opinion
that no new legislation will be neces-
sarv to make effective in this state the
seventeenth amendment to the federal
constitution providing for the direct
popular election Of United states SEN
ators. The attorney general qualifes
his opinion by the statement that the
law on the subject is open to question.
but he believes that the Interpretation
which he gives is in accord with its
spirit and intent.
II this is correct, and the secretary
Of state accepts this ruling and places
on the general election ballot the
names Of the senatorial candidates
nominated by the various parties at
the June primaries next year. the
governor will call ne extra session
The secretary Of state has not given
the subject, and the official opinion
on It. sufficient study to decide what
his course will be.
- II 10 " OO AAOPN0 SuoS SAS Psss
Of the attorney general is sound. and
that no extra session will be neces-
sary. Sessions Of the legislature are
expensive things, and neither the gov
ernor nor the taxpayers desire to
have expenses unnecessarily increas'
ed. The senatorial situation is the
only thing that could possibly make
the calling of an extra session neces.
sary, but in calling the session. II one
is called, the governor cannot limit
recommend that 40 other business
than the matter for which the session
is called be taken up, but it will be
for. the members of the legislature
to do as they please when once they
have been convened. And. If the as
sembly is once called together, it is
almost certain that some member or
members will have legislation to pro-
pose which will consume time and in
crease expense.
to the secretary Of state. II he decides
that under the law as it stands he
a place the ame Of the senatorial
nominees on the fall ballot, that will
settle it. for the attorney general ad-
mits the probability Of this being le-
gal, and the governor is willing to &C.
cept that view Of it il the secretary
Of state will do likewise.
In case there should remain q doubt
as to what is legal, why would it not
be possible to c a our decision
in time to permit action to be taken
before the primaries, If that should
be necessary? There are such thin IS
as test cases, which are brought for
the express purpose of clearing up
knotty problems. Is there not legal
wisdom enough in the state to devise
a plan for making a test Of this amt
ter? Suppose, for instance, that if
the secretary Of state is convinced that
he cannot place the names of the SEN
atorial nominees on the fall ballot, he
makes that fact known before the pri-
mary. Would that not be a situation
permitting the use of the mandamus,
and thus bringing the whole matter
before the courts? Or, If that plan
will not work. not our legal sages
devise something that will work. and
that will prevent the cost Of an extra
session Of the legislature unless that
shall be absolutely necessary?

COLLECTING THE INCOME TAN.

Duluth Herald: Some of the dis
cussion of the new income tax Law
has tended to create the impression
that its processes are complex. On
the contrary they are simple.
A Boston attorney, writing in Roll
lins's Magazine. sets forth the prin-
ciples of the new law clearly, as fol-
lows:
l. That everyone with an in
come over three thousand dollars
shall pay one per cent of the sur
plus over that figure to the fed
erai government. Except that one
exemption of a thousand dollars
more may he added in the ease Of
a husband and wife living togeth-
er.
2. That so far as practicable
the government will collect the
tax from the source of that in
NJ thus dealing with an inn
partial person less likely to risk
the penalties Of evasion.
3. That although each per-
sons tax may be collected from
more than N source. it is the
intention of the act to levy but
one tax on an income of twenty
thousand dollars or less.
4. That an additional tax at a
graduated rate is imposed on in
comes over twenty thousand dol
lars.
The income from state and local
bonds are not taxable. Salaries of
state. city and certain federal off,
GERS are exempt. In making his re-
turn the taxpayer may deduct from
his total income necessary expenses
actually paid out in carrying on any
business. not including personal, liv-
ing or family expenses: interest paid
on Indebtedness; taxes; uninsured
losses in trade or by fire. storm or
shipwreck; claims charged off as
worthless: depreciation of property
used in business; dividends OF stock
in corporations themselves subject
to the tax; and income taxed at the
source.
One point not yet settled is wheth-
er everybody must make a return,
regardless Of his income. The gen
eral impression seems to be that thi,
will not be necessary. Everybody
having an income Of three thousand
dollars or over, however, will have
to make a return yer IL no tax il
paid: and failure to receive a blank
on which to make it does not relieve
the taxpayer Of his obligation. Pen.
alties for failure to make returns and
for making false returns are severe,
and Of course it will be necessary to
enforce them rigidly, else the Law
will become a farce.

HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT
IN COAL FIELDS ROW
BY AN INVESTIGATION
Sentinel Special Service.

Denver Jan. 21.-The action ta-
ken by the house TO make a legisa-
tive investigation of the situation ex-
isting in northern Colorado coal
fields, will probably do more to-
wards clearing up present unsatisfac-
tory conditions than anything that
could be suggested. The action is
joint resolution calling upon both
the senate and house to meet to dis
cuss the situation and to name n
committee to make the probe. The
resolution was offered at the request
of the mine workers union.
The coal operators. who refused to
grant &c increase in wages three
years ago and thereby precipitated
strike that has continued since,
resulting in the loss of hundreds of
thousands of dollars to both the
companies and the miners. are to be
summoned, under the terms of the
resolution, to appear before the joint
legislative committee and tell why
