ABYSSINIAN ruler
IS REPORTED DEAD
King Menelik Said to Have Been
Succeeded by 17-Year-Oh
Prince.

London, Feb. 4.-King Menelik. OF
Abyssinia, is dead, according TO q dis
patch received from Addis-Abeda to-
day. His successor, Prince Jeassu, one
of his grandsons, entered the capital
on Sunday with great pomp.
London, Feb. mo official confir-
nation has been received here of the
death of Menelik, who has on several
previous occasions been reported dead.
Prince Lidj Jeassu, who is said to
the new emperor, is Only II years of
age. He was selected year ago by
Menelik as his successor. He is q
youth Of great intelligence, son OF Ras
Michael, a powerful prince n govern
or of three provinces, whose wife was
English, French and German and has
been instructed by European tutors.
Many Rumors In Past.
There have been many rumors dur
ing the last five years of Menelik's
death. It was reported at one time that
the fact was being suppressed and
that the empress was conducting the
affairs of the Abyssinian kingdom un-
til Jeassu was old enough to take the
government into his own hands.
This was denied today. At the be-
ginning of the last year, Menelik was
reported to be paralyzed below the
waist and uncertainty has since reigned
as to whether he was really dead or
alive.
The kingdom of Abyssinia has a pop
ulation of 5000, 009 and possesses a pow
erful army. The political institutions
are feudal in character. There is a
sort of state council which possesses
very little authority and a council OF
ministers with all the usual portfolios.
Menelik became the supreme ruler in
1889.

Sketch Of RitI,s History.
The first official step toward amend
Ing the constitution SO as t authorize
specifically an income tax was taken
by the Senate on July Z, 1909. BY unan-
imous vote that body adopted a reso-
luton. submitting this amendment to
Only q few days later, on July 10. s
Rouse passed the resolution by a vote
Of 317 to IA.
Legislation must now be enacted by
congress before an income d NAV be
collected, the present amendment mere-
~ giving congress the power to lay
such a tax. Only the most general kind
OF estimates are being INDUCED In as
to the government may receive
under such a tax, as all will depend
upon the rates to be fixed by congress-.
In 1866, under the civil war Income tax
measures, $72,o00,0 900 was collected. The
income tax law Of 1894 was estimated
to raise $4,000. 600 annually. Just pre-
ceding h passage of the amendment
resolution by congress in 1909, Senator
Bailey had introduced an income tax
bill, estimated to yield probably $780,
100000, proposed under the Payne
Aldrich tariff act. Senator Cummins In
troduced a measure, estimated to yield
100000 0o. The, corporation tax meas
ure has yielded in the neighborhood OF
$40, 900. 900 a year.
Long Aeitated.
The amount Of the tax will depend
levied. The 1894 law provided for a
fiat tax of 2 per cent on incomes over
$4,000. The Bailey bill authorized q
3 per cent tax on incomes owe SIS, 600.
The Cummins bill provided a Graded
| tax. on incomes over $4,000, the highest
tax being 6 per cent on incomes of over
i 500, 900. Massachusetts,. Oklahoma,
Virginia are states now possessing i'm
come tax systems of varying details.
Agitation owe income taxes has ex-
listed in the United States since before
the civil war. The civil war measures
were allowed to stand among the sta
tutes without being stricken down by
the courts, largely on the ground OF
being emergency measures. In 1876
a fierce debate occurred in congress
over the continuation of the income tax
measures inherited from the civil war
Senator Sherman led the defense
claiming the tax was the most just
and equitable tax levied by he United
States" The tax expired by Its OWE
limitations in 1872.

their machines whereby patrons were
compelled to promise not to use any
