Income Tax
Upheld by the
Supreme Court

Washington, D. c., Jan. 24.-The
income tax was declared constitution
al today by the Supreme Court in a
unanimous decision which swept aside
every contention raised against it and,
in the opinion of congressional lead
ers, opened the way for increasing the
tax rate on great fortunes to help pay
for national defense.
Proposals are pending in Congress
to tax incomes of more than $1,000
900 as high as so per cent. Leaders
on all sides agree that out of the i'm
petus which the decision today will
give such proposals is likely to come
definite movement to levy on the
revenues from great private fortunes
for some of the millions the Govern
ment must raise to carry out the ar
my and navy increases.
Hull Preparing Amendments
"The Supreme Courts decision has
absolutely unfettered the income tax
as a source of revenue" said Repre-
sentative Hull of Tennessee, author of
the law. "All doubt is removed and
Congress is left much freer to act,
/ believe Congress will take advantage
of the opportunity to amend the law
materially. Without any unusual or
unjust charges, it can be made to
yield $185,000,OO0 to $195,0O0,00O a
year, as against $85,OO0,0O0 or $780,
100000 at present,
Representative Hull is preparing
amendments to carry the tax to in
comes below $500, and make graded
increases in the sur-taxes on incomes
exceeding $4,000 a year.
So far the problem of raising the
revenue for national defense, although
approached from many angles, has
not been carried toward any definite
solution, because with the constitu-

OF PRESIDENT WILSON

his editors, it is believed writes the
editorials for the Washington Post
clamoring for war and the next day he
sends a two column telegram to the
Washington Post congratulating it on
an editorial for war, which was writ
ten no doubt at his dictation. Mr..
Hearst will forget someday and come
out and congratulate himself on his
own editorials.
Mr.. Hearst owns great tracts OF
lands, probably million acres, in
Mexico, and if he could induce the
United States to fight Mexico and an
mex it, his land would probably be
worth one hundred million dollars. So
it is clear that he has a strong motive
for wishing to plunge the two coun-
tries into war. By owning number
of newspapers secretly, he can make
big howl, and has made such howl
so big it has scared the Senate. But
the bowls are nothing but the screams
of the chorus of the Hearst editors in
the papers which he secretly or pub
licly owns.
South America Interested
For more than twenty years the
United States have been trying to
draw the South American republics
into closer relation and friendship with
the United States, and we have sue
ceeded admirably in this endeavor.
To declare war against Mexico would
turn every South American country
against US, because Sauth America
and Mexico both belong to the Latin
race. For this reason as well as hui
manitarian reasons President Wilson
desires to avoid war with Mexico, and
so do all real American people.

A PIG STORY


A man at Martin City, Mo-, related
the following the other night: Aug
ust Is he helped thrash wheat on the
farm of James Keltner, who lived one
mile west of Martin City. The straw,
as it came from the blower of the
machine, was being stacked on the
remains of a straw stack from last
year. A $50 pound sow, lying asleep
in the butt of the old stack, was I'M
noticed and all the straw from this
years crop was piled upon her.
1t was not known what had be-
come of the sow until short time
ago when she succeeded in eating her
way out of the stack. She had been
imprisoned there four months and Ia
days. She weighed only 60 pounds,
but seemed to be in good condition

It is requiring all the statesman
ship, tact and diplomacy that our
great President can command to keep
the United States Senate from forcing
him to the final step of plunging the
United States into war with Mexico.
1t would be ridiculous for the United
States to inaugurate a war against
Mexico simply because band of
Mexican outlaws near the VIM. r.
Hearst ranch murdered thirteen Amer
lean citizens. President Carranza is
rapidly restoring peace to all parts of
Mexico, and in a short while, there is
every reason to believe he will have
the entire republic of Mexico pacified
and prosperous; he has promised to
do everything possible to capture the
murderers and punish them.
Last May the German Government
murdered lis American citizens when
they unlawfully sank the Lusitania
She has repeated this crime several
times since, and still there is no clam
or in this country for war with Ger
many. If Uncle Sam refuses to fight
"anyone his size", like Germany, he
is not such coward as to declare a
ridiculous war against Mexico, sim
ply because he would be sure of VIC
tory. The clamor for this war comes
from such men as William Randolph
Hearst, who owns string of papers,
including such cities as Boston, New
York, Chicago, San Francisco, and
other places, and is alleged to control
or own the Washington Post, and a
number Of other papers secretly. Mr..
Hearst has been the most persistent
promoter of war with Mexico of any

The Declaration of the Rights OF
Nations" adopted by the American
Institute of International Law under
the auspices of the Pan-American
Congress in Washington, is given be-
low.
Although the declaration lacks the
formal ratification of the Il Amer

an official document, its trainers be-
lieve that j. correctly sets forth the
official views of all the American
commonwealth. Before the lnsti-
tute was called upon to consider 1T
the declaration was submitted to and
approved by the chief authorities on
international law in the South Amer

1t was unanimously adopted Jan.

of los is made up of five experts on
international law from each of the
81 American republics.
Whereas, the municipal law of civ
ilized nations recognizes and protects
the right of life, the right to liberty
to which the Declaration of Independ'
ence of the United States adds the
right to the pursuit of happiness, the
right to legal equally, the right t.
property and the right to the enjoy
ment to the aforesaid rights Great
ing a duty on the part of the citizens
or subjects of each nation to observe
them; and,
Whereas, these fundamental rights
thus universally recognized, are ia
miliar to the peoples of all eivilize'
countries; and,
Whereas, these fundamental right
can be stated in terms of internationa
law and can be applied to the rela
tions of the members of the societ
of nations, one with another, just a
they have been applied in the rela
lions of the citizens or subjects o
the states forming the society Of ma
tons; and,
Whereas, these fundamental right
of national Jurisprudence, namely, tn
right to life, the right to liberty, tn
right to the pursuit of happiness, tn
right to equality before the law, tn
right to property and the right to tn
observance thereof are stated in term

Therefore, the American Institut
