The feeling in Japan against the United States over the alien land bill pending in California has put very serious phase on the situation-so seri- ous. In fact. that President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have taken the matter up directly with the govern ment of California, with a view to preventing the enactment of the land measure In its present form. The president took this action reluctantly because of his belief that the federal government should not interfere with the internal affairs of state. Their abandonment of adherence to this principle indicates how seriously they are concerned over the situation.

ADJUST COST OF LIVING.
Revenues From Income Tax Will Re-
 spond to Changes of Rates-Submit Table Showing Increase In Whole sale Prices of Many Articles From 1897 to 1910. ..


 sale Prices of Many Articles From
 1897 to 1910. ..
 The completed Democratic tariff re- vision bill was presented to the house with a report from the Democrats of the ways and means committee. They proposed an income tax to adjust the funds to be raised by taxation to cor respond with necessities for govern ment expenditures. The report. sub mitted by Chairman Underwood, after outlining the operations of the propos- ed income tax, says:
 "The revenues from all income taxes readily respond to changes of rates. and the latter can be raised or lowered within few days time without busi- ness disturbances such as general tariff changes occasion. 1t is believed that budget or other effective system by which congress may be able closely to calculate and determine in advance forthcoming expenditures will soon be devised, in which event it should be- come easy to maintain close balance between expenditures and revenues such as is practiced in most other civi- lized countries With other sources of revenue revised to an honest and fixed basis and the income tax a permanent part of our revenue system and at all times affording a substantial amount of revenue. congress could and, if nee essary, should annually raise or lower the income tax rates in such manner as would prevent either a deficit or surplus in the treasury. This combin- ed tax system would afford justice in taxation, fexibility and stability of revenue and rigid economy in expendI- tures."
 The increased cost of living was mentioned as the most striking eco homie change needing adjustment through the tariff. and a table was submitted showing the percentage of increase in wholesale prices of many articles in the period from 1897 to 1910. The table gave the percentage of increase since 1897 to 1910 in farm products as 93.2 per cent; food. 46.7 per cent; clothing, 35.S per cent; metals and implements, 4S.2 per cent; drugs and chemicals, 23.9 per cent; house furnishing goods PAP per cent; miscel- laneous. 44.5 per cent. an average in- crease in such commodities of 467 per cent.

Hussars Once Freebooters.

Hussars were originally scarcely re- spectable enough to include Prince of Wales among their numbers, for the word hussar is akin to corsair, and the first hussars were simply freeboot- CTS. AS part of the regular army the hussar appeared in Hungary in 1458, when King Matthias Corvinus raised a corps of light horse under that name to fight against the Turks The name and fame of the Hungarian hussars spread throughout Europe, and Fred erick the Great was not above sending an officer to study their work. The English hussar dates from 1895. when the Seventh regiment was converted from light dragoons into hussars.- Westminster Gazette.

MASONS MAY ADD.
THIRD STORY
LOCAL LODGE HAS BUILDING
PLANS UNDER CONSIDERATION
Strength Of Foundation and Walls
Only Consideration in Way; Pres
ent Decision Result Of Compromise.

Decision to add another story to
their present building on Main street
was practically agreed to by the
Dallas lodge Of Masons at their last
meeting, upon hearing a report of the
building committee and a general dis
cission of the project The only inn
pediment in the way of such an out
come is the question whether the walls
and foundations Of the present build
ing will sustain the weight Of the add
ed story, and to determine this point
an architect will be employed to make
thorough Investigation.
In the event that it shall be decided
to go ahead with the work, it will be-
gin at once, and will also include a
three-story addition to the building
in the rear. The two upper floors will
be devoted to the uses Of the lodge,
the second floor being utilized as a
banquet room and the upper floor for
lodge purposes.
The lodge has had the question of
building under contemplation for
some time and the matter hinged on
possible location for a new build
ing, or repairs to the old one Owing
to various differences regarding a
new location it was finally decided to
effect a compromise and the above
result has been agreed TO.
