Not since 1884 has there been such
on outburst Of tornado storms as that
which occurred in the central states
and the south last week.

The path Of a tornado is from 100
to 600 yards wide. and the length Of
up to fifty miles. Almost invariably
1t moves toward the northeast, with
a speed OF from twenty to fifty miles
an hour. The center, where the de-

RICH men PREPARE TO WAGE fight
AGAINST THE income TAX MEASURE
Opposition has Been Brewing in Washington, and it is
Believed Some Of Wealthiest Men in Country Behind
it-Bil Will Directly Affect Campaign Funds.

Washington. March 27.-A fight on
income tax legislation, which may
equal the coming battle on the tariff,
has been fomenting in Washington
and will break at the convening of the
SiXty-third congress. according to
those conversant with the situation
here today.
Behind the fight are believed to be
some Of the most wealthy men in the
United Statesmen whose fortunes
run into the hundreds of millions and
whose shore of the income tax nus
necessarily be heavy. That these
forces will be able to decisively defeat
the measure was regarded as impossi-
BILE, hut 1t was thought that a post
ponement OF income tax legislation
and a final settlement upon n mimi
mum tax might be accomplished.
Where Fight Centcrs.
AS h matter now stands the DEM
ocratic party has gone on record as
favoring the enactment of his legis-
lation. but there is Yet to be drafted a
bill defining the nature and amount
of the tax to be levied upon fortunes.
The construction of this bill is the
point upon which the attack will be
made. In the past income tax legis-
lation has called forth much oratory
and discussion with it's attendant de-
lay. Similar results We're predicted
today for the future.
The fact that the senate carries but
q slight democratic majority and that
q wide difference of opinion exists
among the legislators as to the exact
amount of such a tax are also re-
garded as favorable to the campaign
Of the interests.
Affects Campaign Funds.
Another feature taken INTO consid-
Grafton by those who have predicted
q long discussion over this class of
legislation is the fact that the men
who will be hardest hit by an income
tax have been in the past among the
largest contributors to campaign
funds in the United States.
Among these are a number of ION.
t%ributors to both the democratic and
republican war chests.

the boss. greatly to that gentleman's
surprise. Tumulty became an ardent
progressive in legislation, but while he
worked with republicans or democrats
alike in the legislature Tumulty pro-
vokingly refused to leave or be read
out Of his party organization. Davis
ex~postulated. scolded and tried to dis
cipline Tumulty. but the latter serene
ly chose his own paths. The result
was that he was reelected three times.
1t was Tumulty's progressiveness COM
bined with his loyalty to party that
attracted Mr.. Wilson's attention while
he was still president of Princeton.
An Immediate Success.
AS the presidents private secretary
Tumulty was an instantaneous and
complete success. Before the admins
tration was t%wenty-four hours old
newspapermen were calling him Joe.
and by the end of the second week
no previous secretary except Loeb had
his popularity. This friendship with
the reporters is proving to be a great
asset for MI. Wilson. 1t has resulted
In a great flow of pleasant publicity
for the administration out of WASH
inEton. Tumulty doesn't believe in
hiding the presidents light under Il
bushel. and since T'umultv establish.
ed the 'open door" that light has been
made to shine every minute of the
working day.
1t vas predicted by those who had
observed previous administrations
that the "open doc" would be aban-
doned after a very short trial. 1t
was said to be physically impossible
for the private secretary to see every
one calling at the white house and still
find time to take care Of the volumin-
Gus correspondence. But these prog
~nostfcators didn't know Tumuity. He
is the speed marvel of Washington.
