war was over and we became one ma
ton again.
And so | shall not let the criticism Of
the son deter me from aiding the father.
If he stands in need of money. or Of
friends, ! am willing to start the cam

INCOME TAX ON

Third of the 100000, 1000
Revenue May Be Raised by
New Plan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The tariff
revision program of the extra session
of congress is likely 10 include the rails
ing of 800, 100000 from an income tax,
including the corporation tax, az part
of the $500 600 600 basis of revenue from
the tariff. Representative Hull Of Ten
nessee, a Democratic member of the
committee on ways and means, who
has been active in income tax prob
lens, plans to introduce a bill which
would provide such a source of reve-
nue.
This would be considered by the
committee in connection with contem-
plated early ratification of the consti-
tutional amendment to sanction income
tax legislation. OF the necessary num-
Der of states required for ratification,
only two are lacking Mr.. Hull expects
these to be drawn from New Jersey,
Wyoming, New Mexico or West Vir-
einia. or from Florida, whose legisla-
ture. however, will not meet until April.
The Democratic majority of the COM
mittee favor an income tax, but in the
event of failure Of ratification will re-
new the excise tax plan as an extern
sion of the present corporation tax law.

ALASKA FREIGHT OE SEATTLE DOCKS

Seattle. May 8.--Freight for the interior points of Alaska already has begun to accumulate on the docks in Seattle and the heavy movement of freight to the north will commence, within the next two weeks. The Fifty-milr river yesterday broke two miles below 1 WliitehOrSc. and the diSintrgra- 1 tiun of the ice the whole length of the Yukon will be rapid from now on.
 The first boat carrying freight and passengers to leave White- horse will be either the Yukon or Alaska, the two new vessels which were built in Seattle last winter. It will sail direct to Fairbanks. At lGibbon connections will be made with d smaller vessel, which will carry the freight on to Iditarod and Ruby.
 I Freight reservations already have been made for nearly all the space on the first SailingS of both I vessels. This freight consists largely of perishable shortages on the markets of interior cities. Among other shipments are two automobiles which will be taken
 into Fairbanks by two rich min CTS of that district.
 Passenger travel to the interior this summer is going to be eX- ccptionally heavy, according to the present indications. Large advance bookings have already been made. which at this time of lthe year is unusual.
