Direct Election of Senators.

The resolution proposing the con-
stitutiOnal amendment for the d.
rect election of senators was fifty
years in getting through Congress
In less than year since 1t was
submitted It has been ratified by
the legislatures of twenty-five states
It has been rejected In only one
state-Georgia.
The twenty-five ratifying states
are:
Arizona, Arkansas, California. Col
orado Idaho. Illinois. Iowa. Massa-
scusetts, Michigan. Minnesota. Mon.
tana, Nevada. New Hampshire. New
York, North Carolina. North Dakota
Oregon, South Dakota. Texas. Yer
mont. Washington. West Virginia
Wisconsin, Wyoming.
The amendment IL being blocked
by special interests in New Mexico
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Rhode
Island. New Jersey and Tennes-
see are expected to ratify soon: Ac-
ton by Kentucky. Maryland, Missis-
sippi and Maine Is expected next
year. The legislatures OF Aiaba-
ma. Florida, Kentucky. Louisiana
Maryland. Mississippi and Virginia
are now In session.
Prompt action by some OF the
states now hesitating would make
possible the adoption OF the amend

Are Now Subject to Recall.

The State Legislature has adopt.
ed the machinery necessary for in
voking the recall Of state officials
under the provisions of the consti-
tutional amendment adopted at the
November election. All elective of.
ficers Of the state, except judges
are now subject to the recall. The
people will vote yes" or mo" when
u mans name comes up for recall
No provision is made for a successor
in such cases, and the vacancies will
have to be filled as they are NOW
in cases of death or resignation
Petitions must show the perform
ance of some alleged specific act
of malfeasance or violation of the
oath of office. Payment of money
for the circulation of petitions is
made a gross misdemeanOr.

The Income Tax.

The constitutional amendment au.
thOrizing the levying of an income
tax does not put the tax in effect
1t merely permits Congress to levy
such a tax. The tax probably will
be levied at the special session OF
Congress to make up for losses OF
revenue that might result from t..
riff reductions. 1t has generally
been assumed that the tax-say OF
l or per cent-will be levied on
the amount of income in excess OF
$1,000. A per cent tax on an in
come of $4,000 would amount then
to $50 year. On an income of
$4,000 the tax would be 500. The
income tax provision of the Wilson
Law of 1894 was for tax of 2
per cent on incomes in excess of
$4,000. The supreme court de-
cision holding this unconstitutional
was the direct cause of the deficits
that embarrassed the Cleveland adj
ministration. 80

ssFire'' the JanitOr.

The janitor at the county court
house should be the next employe
to be fired by the board of commits
sioners. The steps at the front en-
trance to the court house have not
been swept for SO long that they
present a most shiftless and unsan-
itary appearance. And why? Mere
~ because the janitOr, a brother of
Sheriff Thomas. seeks to vent his
petty spite OH the board of county
commissioners. When his attention
was called to the accumulation of
filth about the court house entrance
his naughty janitorship replied that
lie did not sweep 1t away because he
wished to make Mr.. LegOe angry.
This fellow needs to be cut off at
the pockets and the commissioners
should discharge him without de-

THREE DENY THEY
 SIGNED STAY BOND
BOLTON. GREEN AND MEYER SERVED WITH NOTICE TO DE.
 PEND UNUSUAL ACTION.
All of the Three Men Deny HaV- ing Gone Security For J. T. Shelton and Secure Counsel to Represent Them.

When executions were issued in Justice Gladson's court some time ago against |. r. Shelton. to satisfy judgments which had been secured in that court, Mir. Shelton came into court with say bonds 10 stay the executions for six months, according 10 Justice Gladson
 Yesterday it came to light that the bonds were missing, but copies had been made of them, showing hat the stay bonds had been signed by C. B. Bolton, C ] Green and $. Meyer
 Naturally the next step of the creditors was to see the sureties on the stay bonds, and Deputy Sheriff Downen wen. personally to See each of the sureties Every one denied they had ever signed such a surety or knew anything whatever of tt, and whau they found out what they were up against they secured the services of Attorney Thurston r. Farmer to straighten things out.
 Judge Gladson states that when the stay bonds were brought to him 70 stay the executions, some thing more than six months ago he supposed the signatures were gen uine. and filed the papers. Later counsel for the creditors made copies of the papers, and MT. Camp bell of Judge fIuff's office joins Judge Gladson in stating he will swear that the names of the gentle men named as sureties were affixed to the stay bonds even though the bonds are missing.
 The bonds, Judge Gladson stated were in his office up to few days ago, for he had gone over the stay bonds on file in his office, and had observed these very recently.

INTERSTATE AND

 SOUTHERN STATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission Wants Power to Prevent Interfer- ence by the States.

Washington Sept 29 The inter state commerce commission, in { brief to the supreme court in the so-calIed Shreveport cases, compet ed today, strongly contends for pow CT 70 prevent disCrminationS against interstate commerce by state railroad commissions. The conflict betweel federal and state jurisdiction in the regulation of rates is sharply drawn in these cases, which grew out of orders by the Texas state railroad commission alleged to be discrimi. natory in favor of Houston and Dal- las, Texas, and against Shreveport
 The interstate commerce cOmmis- sion ordered the Houston, East and West Texas Railway company and the Texas and Pacific Railway com pany to remove the discrimination resulting from the exaction of rates on traffic from Shreveport to Texas points .hat were relatively greater than the rates maintained on like traffic 10 the same destinations from Dallas and Houston
 The rates on traffic from Houston and Dallas % other Texas points were made by the Texas railroad commission and the railroads con test the power of the interstate com merce commission to consider these intra-state rates in connection with interstate commerce.
 F F. Farrell, the commissions so- licitor, holds, however, that the pur- pose of the Texas state ra.es was to discriminate against interstate com merce and that congress has clothed the commission with power to pre- vent this The provision of the in terstate commence act. which eX- empts intrastate traffic from the regulation of the interstate commerce commission, refers .he solicitor con ends in his brief. to traffic wholly within one state which does not af- feet any other state
 To construe the law otherwise, Mir
 Farrell continues, would inevitably have the effect of clothing tho indl vidual states with control over very large portion of the interstate com merce of the country and of render rt impossible proper regulation ol the remaining portion of that com nlerce.
