Promise to Reveal

a promise which he has kept to the

November issue of Good Words, the
prison paper.
The article intimates that articles

THE views of the prisoners them
selves. shared in and sympathiZed
with by the present writer, have been
limited at. rather than described In
his articles. The hint must often have
seemed a feeble one, but It had to
serve.
In laying down his pen here, the
writer feels that he is indebted to his
fellow prisoners for the most i'm
portant gift he has ever received from
any class of his fellow creatures. They
have given him knowledge, and the
impulse to make that knowledge
known to the world; ii has not been

He has felt at every stage of his

they bear are their own. Pris-

Income Tax RHl.

An income tax bill is now being pre- pared and it will be considered in the house of representatives, in connection with and, in fact, as a part of tariff legislation It is probable that the tax on incomes will yield the government in the form or revenue nearly hun dred million dollars. Of course it is absolutely impossible for any one to tell definitely in advance just how much money the government can raise from a tax of this kind, for the sum gathered does not depend entirely upon the size of the incomes, but upon the size of the returns which are made
 This may seem like hint that some men may not make proper returns Probably most of them will, for the penalty which will be attached to a false return will be heavy, but there always is tendency to exaggerate the size of another mans income, and so it Is likely that the men who have been dealing in figures have overesti- mated the yearly stipends of that part of the American public which will pay the income tax.
 It Is certain, however, that taxa ton of the incomes of American citi- zens who are making more than $4 900 or $5,C00 a year will add largely to the income of Uncle Sam. If the amount is $100,000,000 it means that, revenue being considered, greater cuts can be made In the tariff schedules than oth- erwise would have been possible.
 It is. of course. not possible yet to tell Just how deep the knife will go in- to the tariff schedules. It Is not sup posed that a free trade basis will be reached on many articles of import ance. but Democrats. Republicans and Progressives say that the next tarin bills will show radical changes from the law which Is paramount at pres ent

THAT IS DEMOCRATIC PLAN FOR HANDLING ALL MATTERS OF
 NATIONAL MOMENT.
THE WATCH ON THE SENATE"
By This Method Attention VIII Be Centered on the Upper House While 1t Considers Such Thnos as the Tariff.
By GEORGE CLINTON


 Washington.-Sha intimation has been given to the Democratic leaders by the administration that 1t seems desirable, from party efficiency standpoint, to undertake no legislation at the extra session except that relat- tng to the tariff. If present plans of the national Democracy are carried to their logical end it seems that all leg lslative matters of great national mo- ment will be considered by congress singly.
 There are reasons for the present planning of the Democrats concerning the manner of handling the larger leg lslatiye problems It is apparent that the president, and the leaders with him, do not wish 10 have the country's attention divided between the two houses of congress when vitally impor- tant matters are up for consideration. Some one has called this plan the watch on the senate"
 In order to explain clearly just what the plan involves, let the subject of the tariff be taken. The house will con- slider tariff legislation, will pass the bills and then will send them over to the senate. Now if the house after it gets through with the tariff, should take up some other piece of national legislation the countrys attention would be divided between the subject under discussion in the house and the tariff discussion in the senate. This is exactly what MT. Wilson and those Democratic leaders who are staunchly supporting him wish to avoid
 To Focus Eyes on Senate.
 As soon as the house gets through with the tariff bills, if the present plan is carried out, it will do nothing ex- cept meet often enough to keep within the laws requirements, and so the country can watch the senate and thereby remind 1t that it's tariff tinker. ing Is under the public eye and that nothing which should not be" would be allowed to go unchallenged
 If the present plan of the Democrat c leaders shall be made to apply to lut lulult v It W III HUI hSICoodli ny that the house after completing big piece of legislation and sending it over to the senate. would simply mark time while the upper house was giving the legislation consideration. There are appropriation bills and minor bills of various kinds which the house can de- bate and pass while the senate Is do- ing duty on some matter generally ac- counted of greater importance.
 The point is that the Democrats want to succeed in their administra- tion and if the truth must be told, some of them are afraid of the senate. They want the senate to do as well as the house does and to put through the Democratic legislation proposed by MT. Wilson without any amendments of importance. They think that this can be accomplished if public atten- tion Is focused on the senate, and If the Democratic senators generally ara made to know that they are expected to live up to the spirit and to the ,t- ter of the platform of their party
