Washington, D. C.-Framers of the
American Income Tax Law are not
worried by the capitalist fugitives who
are expatriating themselves to escape
the tax.
Leaders said:
Representative Underwood: If it be
true that American millionaires are
seeking asylum in England to escape
the American income tax, they will be
hurt more than they now know.
think there must be another reason
why they should seek the sovereignty
of Great Britain, and it might be in
their love for a monarchy over their
love for a republic.
Representative Hull, Tennessee
(framer of the Income Tax Law: The
American tax on small incomes is less
than England's tax 1t is less, in fact,
than the income tax levy by any Eu-
ropean country, and the American who
vents his resentment on this country
because of it's new income tax law will
have to fee to some uncivilized coun-
try to escape payment of this tax.
have no sympathy with any one who
has made his money in this country
and who seeks to evade payment of
just taxation.
Representative Rainey, Illinois: We
can better afford to lose than to hold
those Of our rich who are fleeing to
foreign countries to escape taxation.
We have their property and their
agents will pay this country's levies
1t is good radiance.
Representative SABBATH, Illinois: No
American who has lived and knows
conditions in foreign countries where
income taxes are levied will fee the
income tax of the United States. If
he does the protection of this coun-
try should be withdrawn, because we
do not want him.
Representative Palmer, Pennsyl-
vania: The income tax has come to
stay in this country. Our millionaires
will learn to conform to its require
ments. Those Americans who are
living abroad will find they will have
to pay an income tax and they will
learn it's burden is heavier than the
tax imposed by this country.

 Teresa, now queen of Bavaria.
 The recent change of rulers in the little kingdom of Bavaria. when the diet removed the insane King Otto from the throne and called as his sue cessor Prince Ludwig. formerly the regent. brings to mind once more that contention against the legitimacy of the enthroned British dynasty. It an nounces that there are still Jacobites
 who persist that the rightful ruler is this wife of the Bavarian king. who is also direct heir to the regal state or Charles l. of England.
 But if these 'legitimists do now and
 then assemble to drink toasts to Queen Mary W. and do use their own postage stamps. thus prOclaiming them selves traitors. nobody in England worries and nobody. outside the em- pire knows such q party exists except as a memory arises from history book days or when. as now, attention is at. tracted to one involved in this conten- tion. Year by year those who give allegiance to Maria Teresa as the rightful queen of. England, become fewer. Long ago the Jacebites ceased to trouble the minds of those who wear the, crown To all but them selves the whole matter has become little mora thap . romantic idea.
 Now that Marin Tereaa wears one crown 1t cannot but mean a shadow to the enthusiasm of those who decorate the statue of Charles l. on the ami versary of his execution. It makes still more remote any chance thst this descendant of the beheaded monarch
