The steel for the construction OF
the umbrella shed for the union pas

deem, and it's erection will begin as
soon as the workmen arrive. The
shed will be $50 feet in length, sup
ported by 16 center columns. and will
be connected with the doors of the
depot by canopies, so that passengers
may reach all the passenger coaches
in train without getting wet.
With this improvement, which will
cost about $500, Aberdeen will be
as handsomely accommodated with
railroad depot facilities as any city
Of it's size in the state.

THE CAMPAIGN
BECOMES WARM
The Mayoralty Contest Has
Reached the False Ru-
NOR Stage
MANY STORIES AFLOAT
Some Are Foolish and Some
Are Malicious --- All
Doubtful

The primary, campaign for mayor is
gradually working up to a high tenn
! perature. especially as between Can.
! didates France and Hood, and the
former has announced his headquart-
ers at his offices over the Hayes &
Hayes bank. So far, Jacob and Pear.
son are making little or no noise, but
may be conducting a gum shoe pri.
mary, and some fireworks may be
, looked for from their supporters be.
! fore March TO-
The air is full of all sorts of rumors
SO much so that the voter is justified
in discrediting everything unverified
/ he hears about any of the candidates
! For instance, story ia being peddled
| around town, to the effect that Mr..
Hood was overheard conspiring with
an anonymous gentleman-in another
room from the mythical hearers-to
wrest the water system from the city
and place it in the hands of private
corporation. OF course, those who
know Mr. Hood, or who read his plat
form, published in all the newspapers
in the city, are aware that he holds
the opposite view on the water ques-
ton, but, the circulators of those false
reports depend upon making an i'm
preston on the minds of those not
acquainted with Mr.. Hood and his
views.
Another flying rumor that was being
assiduously circulated yesterday and
was traced to the France headquarters,
is almost too silly for notice, nor would
it receive any if it We're not to illus
trate the point made above, that it is
unsafe to believe anything you hear,
as rumor. about any of the candidates.
This fable was that the editor of the
! Herald, who is known as a supporter
of Mr.. Hood, had said that nobody
but few fool workingmen would vote
for France" Silly, of course, and
equally of course, absolutely untrue.
The editor of this paper has none but
the kindliest feeling for Mr.. France.
He is opposing his nomination because
the former administration of Mr..
France was, in his Judgment, lament
able failure. AS timberman, Mr..
France has few equals in the state.
AS an excellent citizen he is the peer
of any, and this paper means nothing
derogatory to that gentleman when it
does not consider him equipped for the
office of mayor.
! This judgment is based solely upon
the record of Mr.. France in his term
of that office that ended two years
ago. Not that the record reveals any
wrong doing. Mr.. France, all will
agree, did the best he knew how, his
extensive business interests occupied

NEW INCOME TAX LAW
Recalls Former Law Taxing
Wealth Enacted by Demo-
cratic Congress

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 49,
(SpeciaD.Democrats are enjoying
good luck in large chunks these days
They have not only now secured a
good majority of the United States
Senate, but the amendment to the
Constitution providing for an income
tax having been ratified by three
fourths of the States, now becomes a
part of the Constitution.
A New Income Tax Law
1t was 20 years ago under the lead
ership of William jennings Bryan
and William L. Wilson of West Vir
ginia that the Democrats placed an
income tax provision in their tariff
bill, taxing all incomes exceeding
$4,000 at 2 per cent. The Supreme
Court Of the United States, however
in obedience to the wishes of the
bloated bond holders, wealthy male
factors of the country, kindly de-
clared that law unconstitutional, and
so the Constitution having been
amended the Supreme Court can nc
longer interfere. It is quite certain
that an income tax will be passed in
the extra session, which will be call
ed either in March or early in April
1t is the belief that not only will all
incomes exceeding $4,000 per year be
taxed 2 per cent, but that the rate
will increase on those having excess
lively large incomes. For instance, the
tax will probably be per cent on
incomes over $4,000 per annum, 4
per cent on incomes of $4,000 pei
annum, and per cent on all incomes
of over 100000 per annum.
The Standard Oil company has just
declared dividend Of $4O,OOO,OOO, OF
which Mr.. Rockefeller receives $40,
100000. This, however, is only q
small part of his entire income, and
there is no reason why Mr. Rookie
feller should not contribute per cent
of his money for running the govern
ment.

REPORT OF THE
CLUB COMMITTEE
Chamber Of Commerce Will
Discuss New Organization
Tuesday Night
HOLD EVENING BANQUET
Committee Seems Timid, But
Little Doubt Exists of
Forming Club

At the weekly luncheon of the
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday. the
committee on the formation of the
Commercial club submitted the fol-
lowing report, which it is expected
will be fully discussed at the banquet
next Tuesday night, at Hotel Wash
ington:
"Your committee to whom was re-
ferred the matter of club beg leave
to report as follows:
I'VE believe that there is no one
thing Of which our city stands in more
urgent and immediate need than a
city club with its social features we'll
developed Should it be determined to
effect such an organization in order
that it may have the support of all
citizens and accomplish the ends re-
quired, we are unanimous in the opin-
ion that the use of all intoxicating
liquors and gambling in every form
and degree should be absolutely pro-
hibited upon its premises. We do not
believe that the serving of meals or
luncheons by such body could be
carried on satisfactorily or without
great financial loss in a city of this
size and therefore recommend, at
least for the present, the elimination
of that feature.
"A clean, cheerful club by providing
a resort for our younger citizens, by
furnishing a place of entertainment
for the city's guests and by bringing
in closer contact our business men
and their families through frequent
social entertainments, would be an
immense and desirable influence in
promoting the moral, mental and COM
mercial growth of our community.
con the other hand we do not be-
lieve that the city is in need of a
strictly mems club and we are of the
opinion that the increased cost Of
maintaining such an organization
would be out of all proportion to the
benefits above those possible under
the present Chamber of Commerce.
Doubt Is Raised.
1--WE furthermore are extremely
doubtful whether the work of the pres
ent Chamber of Commerce can be sue
cessfully combined with social club
for the reason that while in the form
er the cooperation of all the citi-
zens, regardless of their moral sta
nina or character of the business in
which they are engaged, is desirable
and essential, the latter can not ex.
list unless the personality Of the mem
bership is most carefully restricted
and guarded. However careless they
may be Of their own associates, all
true men are cautious as to the in.
fluence and society into which they
