ASSAULT MADE
ON Income TAX
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

vided ] per cent tax on the total net
incomes above $4,000 up to $4,000; per
cent above $4,000 and up TO 5000; . per
cent on incomes above $4,000 and up to
So, 900; 4 per cent on incomes above 81, 900
and up to 100000. and per cent on all
incomes above 100000. This amendment
was lost by a vote of A to II.
At the suggestion of Senator Cummins,
paragraph B of the income tax amend
ment also went over TO permit Senator
Cummins to offer an amendment to it
today. Senator Bristow also gave notice
of an amendment which he will offer to
subdivision l of paragraph A today. The
Republicans IN the Senate were taken
unawares yesterday when Chairman
Simmons precipitated the income tax on
the Senate Immediately after the Clerk
had concluded reading all of the para
graphs covering schedules and rates and
the free list 1t had been expected that
those in charge of the tariff bill would go
back and take up nearly 100 paragraphs
in the schedules and in the free list that
were passed over temporarily. But II ap-
peared that the Democratic leaders are
considering these paragraphs with a view
of making some amendment.
Opinions Are Submitted.
Senator Williams sprung a surprise as
soon as the income tax feature was
brought before the Senate. by submitting
opinions from the Department of Justice,
Representative Hill of Tennessee, author
Of the income tax amendment in the
House bill, and from Senator Shields OF
Tennessee, former Chief Justice of that
State, on the merits of an amendment Of
fered by Senator Root several weeks ago.
Mr.. Roots amendment provided that the
income tax should apply only TO incomes
accruing after the bill becomes a law.
In proposing his amendment, Senator
Root suggested that the constitutionality
of the income tax amendment might be
subject to successful attacks in discounts
unless the change he proposed was made
The Senator's theory was that an in
come which has accrued becomes princi-
pal, and that there can be no such thing
as an income tax on a past income; that
such a tax would be a tax upon the prin-
cipal, a direct tax which would require
an appOrtionment on the basis Of popu-
lation.
The three authorities called to his as
sistance by Senator Simmons, chairman
of the Finance Committee, who were
mustered before the Senate yesterday,
took an opposite view from that ad-
vanced by Senator Root The opinion
from the Department Of Justice was pre-
pared by T. NJ. Gordon, special assistant
to the Attorney General but was sub
mitted by the Attorney General with his
approval
II is likely that one OF the most inter-
estlng debates growing out of the income
tax amendment will turn on Senator
Roots proposed amendment. Chairman
Simmons expressed the hope that the
Senate would conclude with the income
tax amendment today. but it is evident
from the nnDnGifipn nil

SPEER CASE GOES OVER.
objection by Mr.. Mann Delays Ac-
tIon Until Today.

An objection made in the House yester-
day to Representative Mann of Illinois,
the Republican leader, prevented action
on a resolution reported by the Judiciary
Committee. authorizing an inquiry into
the judicial administration of Judge
Emery Speer. of the Southern District
of Georgia. The measure will be called
up today. and the chances are that II
will then be passed without opposition.
Mr.. Clayton. chairman OF the commit
tee, made the significant statement that
in reporting the resolution OF inquiry
he had followed the course pursued in
the case OF Judge Robert w. Archbold
of the Commerce Court. Mr.. Mann OBJ
jected to the passage OF the resolution on
the ground that a prima facie case on
tie evidence had not been presented. He
insisted that it was unusual to offer. in
part at least, the charges upon which
such a resolution of inquiry was based.

SAMUEL FINLEY BREEsE MORSE

An artist and portrait painter by pro-
fession. Morse became an inventor by
chance A casual remark by a fellow
passenger on board ship when he was
returning FROM London in 1892 caused
him to take up the study of electricity.
That remark was: "Dr. FranlSlin's ex-
pertinent proved that electricity passes
ins~tantaneously over a wire OF any
length" Before the voyage was COM
pleted, Morse had invented the dot
and-Dash" alphabet, and q thought
out and planned essentially the electric
telegraph as 1t exists today.
But 1t was not until 1874 that the first
line was completed between Washington
and Baltimore, and the historic message
What hath God Wrought" was sent.
For years, he tried to interest Congress
in his project, then he visited England
n France hoping to interest the gov
ernments of these countries. but without
success. When he returned In 1889, he
wrote: 81 am without a farthing In my
pocket, and have to borrow ever for my
meals: and even worse than this, I have
Incurred a debt of rent by my absence"
But he continued to petition Congress,
and finally was rewarded for his persever-
ance by an appropriation of $685. which
built the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. lines and
placed his name in the front rank Of
benefactorS of the race.

Hold On To Al ny Timber
Land YouIEfave.

A. J. Legg, writing in the
Garden and Orchard depart
ment of the current issue of
Farm and Fireside, says:
I cannot see how anyone can
afford to burn any timber that
would make lumber into char
coal at eighteen cents per bushel,
now for twice that sum.
If one lives in a country
where the lumber industry has
not been developed he has not
much idea Of the value Of timber.
Our West Virginia people did not
have much idea of the value Of
lumber twenty years ago, but
now the most valuable land is
that on which timber is yet
standing. no matter how rough
it is.
People sold timber very
cheaply here a few years ago.
A large tract Of rough timbered
land which was valued for taxa
ton twenty-five years ago at less
than one dollar per acre sold a
few years ago at near thirty dol
lars per acre. It is a question Of
only a few years until all timber
ed land, no matter where situat-
ed, will be very valuable"
