ROAD IMPROVEMENT IN CALI.
FORNIA.
Chicago Record, Herald

'
There lis such a call for road build
ing. in all parts Of the country that
a discussion which took place recently
before the state highway commission
OF California should prove Of general
interest. A proposal was made that
tn" commission should make a venture
with an experimental highway upon
which various materials might be tried
out. The idea IA not favored by
the commission because the members
felt that they had no money to cx-
pend ON such an experiment, but the
interest of the proceedings lies in the
story that was told Of what is actu-
ally being done. The state has voted
$~1S.00o.000 for highway. building and
one OF the commissioners said:
we have taken the position that
the highway law requires that we give
go every portion Of the state some sort
OF a highway, and We are giving the
best We can for SIS, 1000 900. The .peo-
pie required us 10 build 200 miles
Of highway, but they allowed US not
more than half enough money to do
the work as it should be done. When

CONSTITUTIONAL OR NOT.

An eastern gentleman whose spe-
statutes has prepared a pamphlet in
which he proves conclusively to his
own satisfaction that the income tax
law Is unconstitutional. and that it's
administration by the commissioner
of internal revenue is illegal even if
the law is constitutional, because the
commissioner is not following the law
as It h written.
The federal court. or rather, a ma
iority of n in that court. sorne time
ago declared that it was beyond the
power of congress to enact any in
orn tax law. Later the court. by
another majority OF one, reversed this
decision, and held, practically. that
congress- could lew, such a tax.
But, In order to make no mistakes,
ard fearing that the court might
again reverse itself, congress caused
+. to be submitted TO the states a. con-
stitutional amendment specifically
providing for the levying of an in
F: rome tax This amendment was rati-
fed by the states, and it is now as
much a part Of the constitution as il
. it had been incorporated in the orig
= inal document.
OF course this does not make this
particular law constitutional. for a
( statute on the subject might still fail
