MILITIA IS PATRIOTIC
Four Companies Agree tO Go 10 Re lief of Flooded District Despite
 Legislatures Rebuif.

Little Rock, April 9,-Four com panies of the Arkansas National Guard, Morrilton, Lonoke, Conway and Beebe, have announced that they are in readiness to go to the flooded district for service when called upon. The Iron Mountain railroad has agreed to transport them to any point on their system free of cost. The state has no funds available to pay for their mainten- ance while on duty and messages have been sent to several points where they are needed that they will be sent if ratlons and quarters are provided for them.
 A call has also been issued from the governors office to the public spirited business men of the state, asking them to advance men on the credit of the state for the immedl- ate needs of such militiamen as may be necessary to send to the front. The Blytheville company is already on duty on the leVee, and calls are coming for a company at Snow Lake, Desha county.
 Attorney General Moose has con- strued Act No. 23l, of the last leglS- lature, to prevent the creation of deficiencies, as permitting the gov ernor to incur obligations of this character when such a condition ot emergency exists as now confronts the state, but the state has no funds that can be used.
 The war department has shipped quantity of tents for use of the refugees, but they have miscarrled in transit and an effort IS being made to locate them.
 Governor Futrell Tuesday after noon received the following tele- gram from President c. N. Killough of the St. Francis Leyee Board;
 The levee at Graves bayou, about 9 miles south of Bridge Junction. blew out about 1 o'clock this morning. The crown ot the levee was about two feet above the water. and there was no apparent danger. It is a sand levee and col lapsed for lack of base. The water will spread south and southwest and will not likely affect any ter ritory north of the Rock Island rail road. unless it should stay up for a long time The rest of the levet line is still holding, but the situa- ton is growing more critical mo- mentarily and people are warned tC prepare for trouble. We are try ing to get a boat this morning tC come in below the break and res cue any people or stock that may bt in peril"

HUERTA TO WILSON'S AID.
Charges Against Ambassador Are
 "SlanderOuS," President Says.

City of Mexico, April S.-Indigna- tion has been aroused in official cir cles by charges alleged to have been filed at Washington by Luis Man uel Rojas, second vice president of the Mexican House of Deputies, against the American ambassador, Henry Lane Wilson.
 President Huerta recited the eff forts made by Ambassador Wilson to protect his nationals, and con- tinued:
 The charge that American Am bassador Wilson is morally respon- sible' for the deaths of Madero and Suarez is slanderous. The blame for their unfortunate deaths rests entirely upon their imprudent par tisans. This the government will show shortly by the publication of the detailed findings of the investi- gation which the courts are con- ducting."

PEOPLE WILL NOW
 ELECT SENATORS
Continued From First Page)

Continued From First Page federal government was given this power. On February 29, just before the end of the session, the resolu- ton was defeated by four votes.
 Senator Bristow re-introduced the resolution in the special session i'm mediately following and the fight of the preceding session was re-fOught but this time the friends of the resolution won by a vote of 6i to 24, or five more than the required tWo-thirds.
 The house had passed a resolu- ton which made it clear the federal government was not to interfere with senatorial election in the states. For weeks the measure was in conference. Finally the House conferees receded and the House agreed to the Senate measure by a vote of 237 to 39.
 Previous to this time the several states had taken the bit in their teethiby enacting laws which in eff feet did not wait for a constitution al amendment on the subject. Prob ably the most successful of these was adopted in Oregon. It virtual ly directed the members of the leg isIature to elect the person who re- ceived the majority vote at the reg ular election, when the placing of the name of a candidate for United States senator upon the ticket was authorized.
 The control of legislatures by great corporations was assgined by Senator BristOw as one of the main reasons for the demanded change.
 No legislation by Congress will be necessary to put the change into effect It will be incumbent upon the various states 10 see to it that proper provision is made by the names of senators going on the reg ular ballots. Should any state fail 10 do so, it has been suggested that Congress might exercise its power of supervising that states voting regulations so as to require the name to be placed on the ballots.
 The first senators to he elected by the new method will be those who take their seats for the term begin hing March i, 1915. They will be elected at the November elections of 1914.

DEFEATS WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
For Second Time Michigan Refuses
 to Extend Franchise to Women.

Detroit, April S.-For the second time in less than six months on the face of significant returns avilable at midnight, a constitutional amend ment permitting women suffrage was yesterday defeated ln Michigan. It alone of five amendments to the state constitution lost The initla- tive, referendum and recall and the pensioning of firemen provisions all appeared to be increasing their leads as late returns trickled Tn.
 The municipal ownership propo- sition in Detroit, which required a 3 to i victory to carry, was adopted by a big majority.
 The local option question contest ed in l2 counties developed sur prises. Ten counties, all but Huron and Iosco, have reported. Emmett, after being dry" for four years, has gone wet" Lenawee, which boiled heavy prohibition majority two years ago, apparently went over to the other side. Jackson and Ge- nessee counties, however, changed from wet to dry unless uneX- pected returns from few precincts change the result in Jackson. The other counties heard from appar- ently remain as they were.
 Only fragmentary returns have been received concerning state of fees and no definite information is expected before tomorrow. The large number of ballots made neces- sary by the fact that each ballot was printed upon a separate paper hampered counting as well as vot- ing.

INCOME TAX FOR
 ALL OVER S4,OOO
Per Cent Ranges From 1 to on In comes in Excess of Above Amount Tariff on Wool and Sugar
 Before Committee.

Washington, April 3.-The Demo- cratic majority of the House com mittee on ways and means re- assembled today at what was eX- pected to be the final meeting be- fore the tariff revision bilf is lad before the Democratic caucus next Tuesday.
 With the points of difference be- tween President Wilson and the committee settled by an agreement on free raw wool, the interest shift ed to a large extent to free sugar and the details of the income tax plans.
 Income Tax Discussion.
 Members of the committee were prepared to receive a final word from the president regarding the tariff measure and to devote much of today to the consideration of the income tax. There was possibility of a change in the provisional rate of 1 per cent on accounts above the exempted $4000 year, running up to i per cent on $100,000 or more a year. In connection with the fram- ing of the new permanent feature of the government revenue system consideration of the question of ileXibility of the rates so as to meet emergencies in government needs has invoked an issue as to the con- stitutionality of any provision that will permit the president by proc lamation or otherwise to change any income tax rate.
 The income tax plan will absorb much of the administrative details of the present corporation tax law, will be administered by the presi- dent, but enlarged into the national revenue machinery of the treasury department and will be based on the committees estimate for single years operations intead of an aV- craze of a number of years, as had been suggested to the committee.
 Cost of Collecting Tax.
 The cost of collection of the tax, it is estimated, will not exceed per cent of the aggregate revenue from that source. 1t is figured that prob ably at least tWo-thirds of the in- come tax revenue can be collected at the source. The purpose of this method is to minimize the inquisi- torial features and lessen the basis of individual complaint. This is largely based on the workings of the law in Great Britain, which, ac- cOrding to information laid before the committee, collected S200,0O0,000 from an income tax.
 As to all incomes by which the tax is to be measured and paid the individual taxpayers will not be re- quested to make persona return. The governments plan that corpo- rationS. C0-partnerShips and persons paying annual earnings tO emplOyes or other persons in excess of the minimum taxable income, now pro Visionally 5000. shall deduct and withhold this tax and turn it over to the government, method that would likewise apply to mortgagers and lessees of real or personal prop erty The taxpayers under the pro posed system would not in the bulk of cases come in contact with a revenue official.
