LAUDS INCOME TAX CHANGE
w. A. Day Hopes Other Blum
ders" Will Be Corrected.

William a. Day, president Of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society. issued
a statement last night. in which ne COM
mcnted on Representative Hulls eXplana-
tion OF Monday last. relative to the IN
come tax on life insurance funds, and
also on the change made 10y the House OF
Representatives on Tuesday in the income
tax relating to life insurance policyhold-
ors. Copies Of the statement were sent TO
every Senator and Representative at
Washington.
The action Of tho House of Reprcsen-
tatives. reported to-day. in eXempting
from the income tax the proceeds of en-
dowment and other policies paid 70 the
insured during life is most gratifying"
said Mr.. Day
Mr.. Day declared this was the third
blundcr corrected in the bill as "A result
OF the appeal Of the Equitable and other
life insurance companies to their policy
holders to write tc their Senators and
Representatives upon the subject. He
stil had hopes. he said. OF having the
other errors corrected. and tho funda-
mental wrong Of taxing any OF the funds
of the polcyholders recognized
II is pointed out in Mr.. Days statement
that no funds i'm a mutual life insurance
company can be taxed without affecting
the policyholders which is the reason for
the protest against Mr.. FIull's income tax
bill as II affects lifc insurance.

Of her candidacy have been presented by

BACK TO SP0ILS SYSTEM
$4,000 Postmasters Taken Out
of Classified List.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau. I

Washington, May 7.-On representation
from the Postmaster General that the
order of President Taft OF october B
last. placing nearly $4,000 fourth class
postmasters under civil service needed
an extension in its operations. the Presi-
dent signed an executive order to-day
requiring the present incumbents Ito
demonstrate their fitness for such ap-
pointments.
Politicians here recognize this as an at
tempt to revert 10 the spols system under
pretence of extending the merit prln-
cple in the postal service. The effect OF
the order it is pointed out. is TO make
more pie" for hungry hordes of office
seekers. This will be accomplished b.
creating eligible lists" so that the
Democratic administration can select
Democrat when desired. All offices. eX-
cepting those paying less than $3.50
year come under the new order.
Postmaster General Burleson has been
working on the scheme for several weeks
and believes he has figured out a plan
which will resemble an effort to put the
fourth class postmasters on a purely
merit basis. He hints in his statement
outlining the plan that he expects event
ually to extend his idea to second and
third class postmasters.

the antitrust law should be modified in
the way provided by the rider was laid
on the table by a vote OF iS to 81 and all
other amendments were likewise rejected
There was a general fusilade OF objec-
tions to the proviso from the Republican
side. many Senators delivering their
maiden speeches in the controversy. The
lead in the fight upon the exemption OF
farmers and laborers from the operation
OF the antitrust law was taken by Sena-
ator Root who said in part:
The real meaning of the provisos is
that the Congress of the United States
gives notice 10 the Executive that a
laboring man who commits the crimes
described in the Sherman act or an agri-
culturist equally criminal shall not be
punished. Perhaps the Sherman anti
trust act should be modified. restated
more carefully and in less general terms,
with certain things left out which it now
includes. But that law as II stands is
now the law.
These provisos assume the violation OF
the law. IL is immunity for Illegal con-
duct that the prOvisos give. II is i'm
for the commission of a crime
under the United States. Whether the
law should be modified or not, we are
doing a wrong to the laws of the country
and to the idea Of justice. The people still
have it in them that while the law stands
none OF them shall disregard ii.
I'VE have responsibility, not to the
farmers alone. not to workingmen alone.
