TRAVELLING MEMS VOTE.

Travelling men are leading a move
convenient, n to vote at polling
places wherever they happen to be on
election day. They are not selfish AMI
would have the same right extended
to railway employees, actors, and 9TH
srs whose business naturally requires
them to be away from home when the
day for registration or for casting the
ballot comes.
Kansas and Minnesota have such
laws, and the North Dakota, Wiscon-
sin and New York legislatures are
considering such acts. AS each state
preseribes its own qualifications for
the voters, the propaganda must he
urged in each commonwealth. During
the next two years it Is expected that
q number of states will provide relief
for the voters who must Of necessity
be on the ROAD on election day.
From New York m the estimate
that $4,000 travelling men lost their
votes last November in that city alone
by being out at work. OF the half
million travelling men in the whole
country. it is likely that all have more
than once missed the opportunity TO
vote by being elsewhere than at their
registration place.
Speaker Champ Clark has expressed
his approval of such legislation by the
various states, and given a boost for
" T.
exceedingly well informed on politics
IN his own state, as he m in CON
tact with a wide range Of voters. He
also has studied public questions
above the general run OF citizens. and
is highly qualified to vote for the best
interests Of the state. Under proper
restrictions the removal Of the handi-
cap under which they labor would
doubtless find few dissenting votes.

pose in no amer tended to change,
written contract. The general rule as
prescribed in section $3.50 r. G. 1905,
that "the execution of a contract in
writing, whether the law requires 1t to
be written or not, supersedes all the
oral negotiations or stipulattons con-
corning its matter which preceded or
accompanied the execution Of the IN
~strunent," does not preclude proof OF
the existence of any separate oral
stipulation or agreement as to any
matter on which the written contract
is silent, and which is not inconsistent
with its terms, If from the circum-
stances Of the case the court tnfers
that the parties did not intend h doc

statement Of the whole Of the transact
ton between them. ....
3. The instructions OF the court to
the jury examined and held, insufficient
for the reason that they wholly fail to
instruct as to the law OF the case In
any essential particular, and such In
structions were also prej1dicial on the
ground that they were well calculated
to mislead and confuse the jury.

to omit to instruct on some particular
point, but which point is covered in a
general way in the charge, in h alb

tai failure to instruct upon the essen

AN INCoM TAX.

The necessary three -fourths major
upon the income tax proposition. A
radical amendment to the federal CON
stitution Is thus assured.
While details as to the amount Of
the tax to be assessed and as to the
minimum of incomes to be considered
not in hand, 1t is intimated that rates
will be much lower in the United
States than they are in Great Britain,
where a similar law has proved wholly
satisfactory.
The new method Of raising funds for
the payment OF federal bills is Of such
a nature that it could not have been
very successfully opposed. 1t cannot
be said to be class legislation in any
genuine sense, since opportunities in
the matter of incomes are In theory
open. to all.
The popular opinion on the matter
may be safely gagged. since the major
ity Of voters are easily led to D
aAreform which touches the other fell
low. And N higher grounds, it may
be said that there Is logic In the con-
tentton that those who have been most
successful should cheerfuny agree 70
contribute in some special way to the
government under which their pros
perity In possible.
There remains, however, the danger
that the new law will place a. premium
upon Misrepresentation. 1t will be ex-
tremely dtf1cuIt to ascertain what the
income Of any firm or individual is,
save by accepting whatever statements
may be submitted. Perhaps honest
firms and individuals will bear the
br1nt of the new form Of taxation; but
this win be nothing new in the general
practice Of assessing and paying taxes.
On the whole the income tax appears
to be . big step in the right direction.

THINGS 70 THINK ABOUT.

The Minneapolis Tribune puts the
point to a matter of vital interest
to American citizens very cleverly
as follows:
1. For every death from accident
or violence in Europe there are six
in the United States.
3. Within the next ten years New
York city expects TO burn $5,00O,-
100000 in buildings and their con-
tents.
3. Arkansas alone has reported
more murders in a single year than
all the Dominion of Canda.
For these statements the editor Of
a standard magazine, S.. S. Mcclure,
holds himself responsible. To them
this newspaper would add one more:
4. Forty-nfne out of, every hundred
qualified voters In the United States
do not care enough about their gov
eminent to vote.
There may be connection between
this last statement and the three
from Mr.. Mcclure.
