PLAN INDEPENDENCE
Of THE PHILIPPINES
At END OF 5 YEARS
President Wilson and Demo-
cratic Senators Reach Agree
ment on Modified Form of
Measure in Congress
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Independ-
ence for the Philippines in five years is
in sight. II was disclosed today that
certain Democratic senators and the
president have conferred and have
reached an understanding whereby a
modified form Of the Clarke amendment
will be put through If possible.
AS modified, the amendment will pro-
vide for independence in five years and
for a naturalization agreement between
the United States and leading world
powers whereby the islands will be al
lowed a chance to work out their destiny
Cnmolested.
The Clarke amendment in its original
form provided for independence in two
years. Senator Clarke canvassed the
situation and found this amendment
could probably be adopted. President
Wilson, who has watched the situation
closely, became alarmed lest this go
through because he felt that with the
European war on the naturalization ar
rangement could not be made in two
years.
AS a result, President Wilson and
Senator Clarke, conferred. The presi-
dent walked over to Senator Clarke s
hotel the other night and they went
over the situation. Later Senator
Clarke was at the White House. An
agreement on independence in five years
was reached. 1t is predicted the bill
will be put through the senate i'm this

Used to do this but has never given any
thing toward his support save $40 he
sent in a letter to me in Florida last

like amount to me, but il was for a
debt he owed me and not for the boy"
The husband, she said. made a salary
of $4,000 a year.
The suit filed by Mrs Hall showed an
itemized account of every cent she has
spent on her son I'm the past four years,
including doctors bills, clothing, school
ing, and other items. The boy is now
over eight years old.

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS
THE INCOME TAX LAW
All Objections to Its ConStitu-
tionaIity in Whole or in
Part Swept Aside
kRn Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The supreme
court today upheld the constitutional
ity or the income tax law.
Chief Justice White gave the courts
decision, sweeping aside all the many
objection urged to it's constitutionality
in whole or in part.
Chief Justice White announced the de
cision in the case of Frank r. Bur
shaber stakeholder of the Union Pa
cififc Railway company, who had sought
to enjoin the company from paying the
tutional
Most of the opinion was directed to
ward proving the error of the contention
that the income tax amendment provided
a hitherto unknown power of taxation.
Advancing to other points, the court
held that the tax was not unconstitution-
al because retroactive.
The point that the statute was uncon-
stititutional because labor, agricultural
and horticultural organizations were ex-
empted, was held to be answered by de-
cisions under the cooperative tax law
Chief Justice White said the point was
but another illustration of the erroneous
assumption that the tax was imposed
under a new power conferred upon the
government by the sixteenth amendment
whereas it was a power recognized to
exist from the beginning of the govern
ment and thus decisions defining the
taxing power previously rendered were
applicable to it.
Grouping a number of other conten-
tions against the law, all based on the
claims of the constitution requiring uni
f0rmity in taxation, Chief Justice White
pronounced them all lacking merit, be-
cause of previous decisions which had
determined that the clause exacted only
a geographical uniformity.
OBJECTIONS ADVANCED.
The group included the points that
the tax lacked uniformity because it:
Levies of tax on incomes of tndividu-
ais up 10 100000 and a higher rate on
incomes above that amount, allows a
greater exemption for married persons
than single ones, and bases the tax on
wealth alone.
Because it requires corporations at
great expense to perform the govern
ment's work without compensation, of
collecting at the source.
Because corporations indebted upon
coupon and registered bonds are re-
Lev Gu OF ldDOI anu expense lnNOlVeQ
in deducting and paying the taxes of
individuals on the income derived from
bonds.
Because corporations required to pay
at the source would often pay taxes
for persons not required because of eX-
emptions to pay.
Because bondholders, huring the in
terval between the deducting and the
raging of the tax on their bonds, are
deprived of the use of their money
withheld
Because bondholders during the in
which fail before they pay the tax would
be required to pay the tax, although
the corporation had deducted the tax
from the amount due to the bond
holders.
Because of double payment of taxes,
where corporations assume the payment
of taxes on bonds.
Because of amount of interest on in
debtedness TO be deducted from gross
income of certain corporations.
Because individuals are allowed to
deduct from gross income dividends paid
them by corporations, but corporations
not allowed to make such deductions.
