The income az.

Thirty-eight states, two more than
the necessary tWo-thirds, have now
ratified the income tax amendment
to the constitution. The fight for the
tax, which has been going on for
more than a. quarter OF a. century,
has been won by the people In spite
of the stubborn resistance of the
great financial interests, and here
after the rich will be compelled to
bear their proportion of the expense
of government instead of placing the
whole burden on the shoulders of the
poor, who can least afford to carry
it. The tax, it is estimated, will
yield a revenue of not less than $780,
100000 year, and will enable con-
gress to make material reduction
of the tariff duties which have con-
tributed in no small degree to the
high cost Of living. The ratifiea-
tion of the amendment proves that
the people acting together are more
powerful than the great allied inter
.ests, and that While the people may
have to fight long and hard for what
they want, they are sure to get it
in the end.-NeW Orleans States.

No Game OH Marsh Island.

We have been relieved of the nun.
ishment incidental to the possihili
ties of Marsh Island as "a game pre-.
serve It will be remembered that
Mrs. Russell Sage, misguided old
lady of New York, who received
several millions from her late hus.
band, invested large sum in the
purchase of this waste, with the idea
i that it could be transformed into a
preserve for birds. The question
went to the Legislature, with the re-
quest that the state accept the prop
erty on condition that guards be
furnished to patrol the miles of
muck, but many members knew too
much Of the real conditions to bite
at the proposition, and refused to
accept the gift Of the old lady with
good Intentions
Pictures of vast colonies of ducks
and birds have been presented by
several newspapers, and labeled
Mrs. Sage's great gift to the winged
family of Louisiana It is true there
are a few ducks on Marsh Island,
but they are not numerous, and never
were during the last twenty years.
Fewer have been brought from that
section than any other spot on the
coast, though the news has been
scattered broadcast that the spot con-
talns more ducks than all the rest
of the earth combined.
8 The writer of this article has been
over Marsh Island from end to end
and from one side to the other, more
than once, but the possible millions
were in another ocaHty. Several
parties from this town have gone
there, expecting to load down their
boat, but secured only enough to eat,
and this is the case with many others
who have gone forth, hoping to melt
the muzzle end of their guns, to re-
turn as they went.
Marsh Island is bog, and has no
vegetation except the tall grass grow
ing along the coast at every point,
and the circulate idea that it is a |

Works Both Ways,

The buy-at-home argument applies
to all classes alike. The merchant
expects the newspaper to guide the
average purchaser to his store, and
instead Of patronizing the home print
shop, he sends to Chicago, st. Louis,
Dallas, and other places for the same
stationery he can get at home, at
better prices. This idea must not be
a one-sided affair, or it will get lost

Plan to Prevent Floods.

It In a letter to the Times-Denaocrat

sonville foundryman, advances the
following suggestion for the preven
tion of floods in the Mississippi val
ley:
Speaking Of river problems, why
not let the river solve its own prob
lens 1t could easily and willingly
do this if given the opportunity. Let
the state appropriate two or three
strips of land ten miles front on the
Mississippi. and with powerful
dredges build strong levees on each
side of these strips from the river
to tide level, which must not be too
far distant, then cut the front levee
IdoWn to about e-half its normal
height and cover the. remaining por-
ton with a heavy coating of con
crete. When the river rises. above
| this low 1evee IL will cover these
strips between the two side leVees
and IN a few years will have deposit
ed enough sand to raise them for a
considerable distance from the river
to the height of the lowered front
levee, at the same time affaraiag ab-
solute protection to long stretches of
country, both above and below this
outlet. This land, being subject to
overflow only occasionally, could be
made to yield a revenue and the wa.
ter could be madesto furnish power.
When one Of these strips was
raised to q eeglaIn height 1t could
be sold for many times its cost, and
another strip contiguous with one
leyee already built treated in the same
manner, till vast stretches conyen-
ient1y located would be raised, and,
instead of the huge 1evees now re-
auired, We could go back to tha pos

least in the lower section of the
