WALKER. PROGRESSIVE.

Joseph Walkers step in leaving the
Republican party and Internationally
joining the Progressive party was in
evitable after the action of the Re
publican machine in choosing a United
States senator desired by the interests
That was sweeping sneer by way of
answer to all appeals for recognition
from the great liberal element inside
the party.
And Mr.. Walker himself plainly
forecast the result in his earnest warn
ing to the old guard not to complete the
disaster they had begun. But they
persisted in disregarding the people,
and as result the Progressives count
among their ranks as broad, able,
forceful leader as has stood in the
whole Republican organization. The
Progressives' gain in strength is not
able, not only through Mr.. Walker S
individuality and personal force, but
through the positive reason which leads
him to act.
Joseph Walker has done his utmost to
rouse the organization to push forward
and prove itself to be in thorough sym
pathy with the times and the changing
conditions. He has done this upon
occasions to his own disadvantage, but
he has proved his courage and vision.
Mr.. Walkers strength as a Republican
was undoubted Twice he has been the
candidate for governor in the party
caucuses, and once as the choice of the
whole membership of the party as
expressed in the direct primary. In his
service in the Legislature he has many
times proved by his vote and voice his
party support for advanced measures of
legislation in the interests of the COM
mon people.
Mr.. Walker is an out an out Pro-
gressive. He is ready to work in the
rank and file and determined to throw
his whole weight with the party. He
accepts its creed and purposes as he
throws over the old organization which
refuses to see the light.
The strength he brings lies in the
fact that his example cannot fail tc
stimulate others to adopt this course OF
action - Republicans who think anc
therefore recognize the hopelessness
for progress in that party while it is ir
the grip of the reactionaries. - Boston
Journal.

VICTIMS OF SPEED.

No man in the community has a
greater field of fact from which to study
automobile regulation than Police Com
missioner O'Meara. His background of
information consists of the reports of
his men of violations of law, statistics
of the deaths and personal injuries
caused by motor vehicles, and the great
volume of evidence of the increasing
danger to foot passengers on highways
which particularly attract the automo-
bile driver
And Commissioner O'Meara, discus
sing the situation with greatest thor
oughness, declares that the killings are
to be traced almost wholly to speed
1t is speed that breaks the prohibition
against more than a fifteen-mile rate in
thickly-settled sections which caus es
slaughter 1t is speed of this sort
which denies the man on foot fair and
equal opportunity on the streets.
SO plain and complete a finding from
the chief police authority, confirming
that of the Highway Commission,
should command the close attention of
the Legislature. Boston journal.

HEARING THE LIGHT.
Blind Man Takes a Peep Into the
Invisible.

A blind man stood in the middle of a
large room at the Optical conference
exhibition at South Kensington and told,
without using his sense of touch, how
many windows there were in the room
and how many people stood between
him and the wall.
He did it by hearing" light and
shade, and the medium of the miracle
was the optophone, the wonderful in
vention of Mr.. Fourier d Able.
The optophone makes light and dark :
ness audible. The invention is based
on the metal selenium's well known
property of being affected by light.
Mr.. Fourier d'Albe contrives to
make the effect of light on the passage
of electric currents through selenium

NEW RECORD ON THE HUDSON.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. ia record
for continuous navigation on the Hud
son river between Albany and New
York, 296 days, has already been es-
tablished and, unless a sudden drop
in temperature before Monday pre-
vents, a record for the late closing of
navigation which has stood for lO3
years, will be broken.
According to local historians. in
1910, the steamboat Car of Neptune,
the second boat built by Robert Full
ton, left Albany for New York Janu
AIRY II and arriving at its destination
on the 18th, one day before ice closed
the river, established a record which
has stood for more than a century.
The accommodating ice prevented her
consort from attempting the return
trip. The average date of closing
navigation, since the beginning of the
use of steam boats in 1907, has been
December Is.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The one big surprising feature about
the Progressive party really, its Gil
braltar of Strengths its manner of
providing funds for campaign expenses.
The old style-the methods adopted by
the Republicans and the Democrats
finds no place with the Progressives.
1t is really amazing to the profess
sional politicians that funds for politi-
cal purposes can be raised without the
assistance of the big interests. That is
the vicious part of our political system.
When the big interests contribute to
the success of political parties it is done
for a purely selfish motive They figure
to get big interest on their investment
by securing special privileges. The
contributions of the big interests pass
through the regular political channels
from the national committee down to
the ward workers. But the money thus
paid out is returned to the original
donors tenfold-and the worst part of it
all is that the people have to pay it in
the end.
The system of raising money for the
Progressives is just the reverse. The
members of that party, big and small,
are contributing to the support of that
party. The contributions start with the
people. Progressives from all over the
country are giving their mite. Local
clubs are being supported, State and
national headquarters are being sus-

FRIDAY. JANUARY "a, 1913.
INCOME TAX AMENDMENT.

While the ultimate action of the Leg
islature on the proposed amendment to
the federal constitution is problematical
there are some indications that APP
proval will be denied it. There is
feeling among many members of the
Legislature that the action of the
General Assembly of 1910 refusing to
sanction the amendment should be re-
garded as the final verdict of Vermont
on the proposition and that the present
effort to secure approval is unwar-
ranted.
In the State at large there is SEN
timent distinctly opposed to the amend
ment in its present form and for rea-
sons that are substantial and valid.
1t is contended that under it the New
England States would be called upon
to pay nearly half the total revenue
raised under such an income tax and
that large part of the money so Sc
cured could and probably would be used
for the exploitation of the South and
West
1t is realized also that the State may
in the not distant future deem it de-
sirable and necessary, in order to meet
its steadily increasing expenses, to levy
an income tax upon its citizens. That
it would be debarred from this source
of revenue were the federal govern
ment authorized to impose a similar tax
is obvious, inasmuch as the taxing of
incomes twice would be an indefensible
injustice.
An amendment giving the federal
government authority to impose an IN
come tax in case of war or other great
emergency undoubtedly would receive
prompt and hearty endorsement in YER
mont, but the proposition now before
the Legislature contains no such limita-
ton and under it Congress could appro-
pirate the revenue derived from a tax
on incomes for any purpose it saw fit.
1t is generally conceded that the fed
eral government would be more efficient
in the collection of an income tax than
any of the States and for that reason a
tax levied and collected by it to be paid
to the several States would be univer-
sally acceptable; but such is not the
purpose of the proposed amendment,
the approval of which is now sought.
In view of prevailing sentiment and
in the absence of any urgent need on
the part of the federal government
the chances are that the Vermont Leg
islature will withhold approval of the
proposition, though that will not mean
its failure, inasmuch as ratification by
the legislators of only four more states
is required to make the amendment
effective.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1913-01-24

The above is from the Montpelier
Journal. The objection which this
paper suggests as to the bill if correctly
stated, we think, should be decisive.
The income of Vermont, or any other
State, should not be collected to be
used elsewhere, unless in some great
emergency.
The expenses of the Government al
ready are excessively large and many of
them entirely uncalled for. Vermont is
far more economical than the Govern
ment. If any such bill is passed let
it be for the benefit of the State.

VISITORS TAKE
 CAME IF GRAYS

lH gaihe that was chi fy notable for loose playing aal glaring errors. hut which was made exciting by a strong ninth inning rally, the Warren District Grsys dropped the game on Sunday to Tucson. In most depart. ments the locals played better ball than the invaders.
 Tucson was first to the plate and was kept scOreiess for the first two innings, while the Grays scored one man in the second half of the frst. After this inning Halbert. for the Grays, got rather wild and. in the third, fourth and fifth innings the Tucson boys hit him freely. This. combined with plentiful errors. gave them Il runs while the Grays were able to assemble but ?. Champion vas put in and the game frightened. the Grays keeping the plate vacant for the remainder of the game and SCOT ing one man in the seventh. The Pueblo boys were erring as much as the locals, but a couple of well exc cuted doubles by them kept the Gray score from rising
 Things broke loose in the last of the ninth. just when the fans thought the game was ended It was the regula- ton story book ending of two men out and two strikes. Eddy started the cir cult and was nobly assisted all tue way with hitting by the Grays and errors by the Tucson nine. Run after run was scored until the Grsys had piled up 5 and were within ? of tying the score. The visitors were on the run but a sudden tightening up by Mcintosh, their twirler, dropped the next slab artist, and the game was over II to 9.
 As a whole the game was a good one from the grand stand point oi view when the firai rally is consid- cred. Both teams were having an or day and it was more luck than good playing that gave the game 10. the visitors.

REFUGE
 !. FUR WANDERERS

Bisbee. with 1t sready employment In the mines, has become a sort of
 Port of Missing Menp Those who through family troubles or for other reasons wish to loose themselves, ap- parently flock from all over the coun- try Co Bisbee. There is hardly a week that Chief Watkins does not receive at least one letter, asking that he help 10 locate father. son or husband. The chief holds that there is probably no other city of it's size in the southwest that has as many missing men. ? judged from the number of letters of appeal received
 Two letters were received yester- day, one from San Francisco and the other from Roswell. x. M Eliza St Henry, living at 1405, 18th Avenue, San Francisco, asks for information regarding her brother. Robert, who is supposed to be here. He was a cattle man some time ago and his sister writes that she has not heard any thing of him or his son for years. She fears that he is in some trouble and is most anxious to learn of his where abouts.
 From Roswell comes an appeal from Grs. Iva Link. asking Information re- rarding her husband, Mage Link She writes that she has received a report that her husband was killed in Tucson but tEat the sheriff there says he knows nothing of the reported killing When last heard from he was working in the mines here and bis wife be- Heyes that he is still here. T and his people are most anxious about him and will you answer as soon as you learn anything about him." the letter ends.
 In all cases where the chief re- ceives appeals for help in locating missing men. every effort Is made to ind them. The police are notified to keep on the lookout for them and rae given as full a description as possible. Many Of the letters have been turned over to The Review and this paper has been the means of finding the missing persons in many cases.
