ty-flrst congress. This bill would
have legalized the Cunningham claims
and permitted the Guggenheims to
take up coal land in lots OF 1850
acres TO one person or association.
In the Sixty-second congress, Ferris
continued his bad record. He became
the floor manager for the Raker bill
which had for its purpose the estab-
liShment OF precedent whereby
water-power companies could take
ard use the national forest lands and
other public lands free OF any control
or regulation at the hands OF the fed
eral government. A strong and ex-
pensiye lobby appeared In behalf OF
the Raker bill and II was supported
by Underwood and Clark also. IL
IL had gone through II would have
opened the way for the omnibus dam
bill by which grants OF water-power
wtIe given at IL damsites, valued at
s45, 100000, without compensation TO
regulation for the benefit OF con.
snmers. Ferris argued on the floor
In favor OF this measure, denouncing

whom he characterized as people
who are overzealous and are trying

ness are doing harm 10 their cause

Mr. Ferris said: There is no value
here to conserve. There is no ele-
ment OF conservation in It. Nothing
will be saved If the bill does not pass.

Next Ferris appeared in favor OF
the Coosa river dam bill, which was
hammered through congress In the last
few days OF the summer session, but
which President Taft, at the instance
OF Secretary Fisher and Secretary
Stimson, vetoed. Ferris voted against
the Humphrey amendment. which
would have provided for the payment
TO the federal government OF mini

regulation OF rates to consumers.

Income Tax, It's Mean
ing and Possibilitie.

Now that the income tax amend
ment, having been ratified by three
fourths OF the states, becomes part
OF tie federal constitution, the Demo
cratic congress faces the task and the
opportunity of turning this measure
TO fruitful account. This the party
leaders will undoubtedly DO: and. in
all likelihood, at the special session
to be called early In the spring.
The amendment itself simply au-
thorizes the levy OF tax on in
comes; IL Is for congress TO nix the
rate and the scope of the tax and TO
establish other specific terms. Pre-
ci3eiy what these will be is as yet
nncertaiHs General opinion is that the
tax will be limited TO incomes OF So,-
600 annually and more. In that event,
a comparatively low rate, II Is reck-
oncd, would yiejd the government
revenue OF not less than Sl0O,OO0,0OO
a year. In England, where an income
tax has long prevailed, the tax rates
are higher than has ever been sug-
gested for this country; applied TO
the United States, they would pro-
duce something like $4,O00,000 a year.
IL may be that graduated tax VIII
find consideration and that the rate
on unearned incomes will be made
higher than that on incomes common
" designed as earned Such a plan
would doubtless add greatly 10 the
governments revenue from this gen.
eral source.

OF the law may be, the Democrats

fords. IL will be OF especial value in
meeting any losses of revenue which
the downward revision of the tarin
may entail. Indeed. the ratification
OF the amendment could not have
come more seasonably for the Demo-
cratic tariff program. A little less
than half the governments revenue
is now derived from duties collected
at the ports. When one item OF the
tarif is reduced or cut of, some new
provision must straightway be made
for the revenue II has furnished; and
thus the task OF tariff revision often
becomes exceedingly complex.
The Democrats have contended, to
be sure, and justly so, that many Or
the existing schedules have been
framed not with a view TO meeting
legitimate government expenses, but
for the ultimate purpose of patron
age to special interests. II has been
a tariff not for revenue and not for
consistent protection, but, Ia many OF
its phases. a tariff for privilege.
Yet, every part OF this system Is so
involved and dovetailed with all other
parts that the work OF readjusting ii
presents divers difficulties; and not
tho least OF these Is that of compen.
sating losses In revenue. will there
fore, simplify and expedite the all-im-
portant need OF genuine tariff re-
vision. Realizing this fact, the Dem
ocrats will undoubtedly bring forward
an income tax measure during the
early session and pass II, along. with
new tarifi law, without dificulty or
delay.

states OF the entire eight-and-forty

The circumstance that only four
states OF the entire eight-and-forty
have thus far rejected the amend
ment, while &c have approved II and
several others will probably do so.
Shows the nationwide favor with
which this progressive measure has
been received. The amendment was
proposed In 1909 through a resolution
that passed congress almost without
dissent. Since then II has been raft
fed by a vast majority OF the state
legislatures with little or no opposl-

Hon 10 Make Delicious Biscuit,

For biscuits let US select pastry flour,
good sweet shortening, a double-raise
baking powder and sweet milk or water,
Milk is to be preferred, as it browns
the biscuits better. First, measure cor
rectly and sift together at least three
times, the flour, salt and baking powder
1t is important to blend the baking pow-
der thoroughly with the -four. Then
with fork or the finger tips work the
shortening thoroughly into the -four and
mix to soft dough with the milk or
water-just as soft as can be handled.
Roll out very lightly, or better, spread
and pat the dough out thin with the
hands. Handle as little as possible after
wetting. Then cut in small shapes for
the oven, for small biscuits are very
much better than large ones. If baked
quickly, as biscuits should be, a large
biscuit does not get the proper heat 70
raise and bake the center of the biscuit.
A small biscuit raises perfectly, bakes
better, is more palatable, and is easier
to digest.
Biscuits should always be baked on
sheet or in a very shallow pan, as the
biscuits should be above the sides of the
nan in order to have the heat get to
them quickly. If baked in deep pan
the sides shut off the heat. and the bis
cults are likely to tiatten out and run
together and have heavy centers. Never
