The state amendment increasing the
surtax on large incomes from the house
maximum of 8 per cent to maximum
of per cent has been accepted by the
conference committee. Under this
amendment, in addition to the normal
tax of l per cent, that part of incomes

lower limit from $4,000 to $4,000 and
allowing exemption of $500 each for
two dependent children, and exempting
certain funds of mutual life Insurance
companies. were passed over without
argument, it was said. 1t is believed
that the senate amendment rewriting
the clause for deductions computing the
net income was accepted.
The most important thing in that
amendment limits to 5 per cent of the
gross output of the proceeding year
deductions for the wear and tear in
the case of mines,
1t is understood that the conferes
finally accepted the Recommendation of
the joint subcommittee adopting the
senate amendment making the tax col
lectible on incomes of this year dating
from March, 1913, instead of Jan. l.,
1918. The senate amendment was to
obviate a possible objection should the
taxes be levied on incomes accruing
prior to the proclamation of the income
tax amendment to the constitution. In
the same way the provision requiring
the withholding of the tax 'at the
source" was tentatively modified to
suit the senate amendment limiting the
application of the provisions to incomes
accruing after the passage of the act.

In the Harrisburg coal field three
more companies associated with the
O'Gara Coal Company have been de-
clared insolveht in bankruptcy petit
tions, their liabilities scheduling one
million in excess of their assets. The
interstate commerce law is blamed for
the financial troubles Of all these coal
companies The law permits railroads
to demand payment of freight bills
within thirty days The six insolvent
companies give as illustration Of how
this bill works hardships on them, that
the freight bill OF one company for the
month will run up toward half mil
hon dollars and this makes such a drain
on the cash resources that companies
cannot stand against it, while they
have to wait for their money on sales
coming in from coal buyers and dealers.
Then, to add to their troubles caused
by the bill, the money market has been
so tight that borrowing has been al
most impossible

FATHERS OF THE NEW HAVEN
WRECK.

The New Haven railroads investiga-
ton Of the Wallingford wreck placed
the blame on the engineer who passed
a signal set against him. But that
wasn't the end Of the story. The in
terstate commerce commission has
mace its report 1t, too, says that the
direct cause of the wreck was due to
the trainmen, to the failure of Flag
man Murray to protect his train, the
failure of Engineman Miller to control
the speed Of his train, and the failure
of Conductor Adams to make certain
that his train was properly protected. =
But it carries the blame farther. The
signal system, it says, was inadequate,
and there was a deplorable lack of SUI
pervision on the part of operating
officers.
And then the report goes on to give
list of the New Haven directors, to
point out that on the board are men
known as "magicians in finance and
wizards in the construction, operation
and consolidation of great systems of
railroads, +" men in whom the public had
a right to place confidence, but in whom
its confidence was misplaced.

the legislature. They controlled politi-
cal preferment. They were paramount
in finance Morgan's viii was their
will. The king could DO no wrong.
Brandeis saw their way was the way
of public injury and disaster; that the
inflated securities" they were ped
ding were insecure; that they were
manufacturing misery for widows and
orphans.
He said so. He sounded the warn
ing. More than that; he stripped for a
fight-for a battle with combination
Of powers seemingly invincible Prac-
tically he fought alone, The press was
against him. The bar was against him.
The banks called him an egotist and a
disturber Even the widows and or
phans, whose savings he wanted to
make safe, were taught to believe that
he was a malicious enemy.
He persevered. The world will prob
ably never know the odds which he
combatted, or the lies and innuendoes
through which he had to wade. If
they touched him, he gave no sign, ex-
cept to smile and fight on
And now he is indicated. Meller
has been discarded. The house OF
Morgan is crawling from under But
are the stricken widows and orphans
whom he sought in vain to warn CRATE
ful for his championship? Have they
repented their misjudgments of him?
Do the people of New England value
at its true worth the bravery Of his
course?
There are plenty elsewhere who dc

derstand. But Wendell Phillips didn't
get his monument till he was dead.
