WILSON SET a AS
AGE FOR PRESIDENT

President Wilson once believed that
forty-four wears was the proper age
at which a man should he considered
for the Presidency.
At the time he expressed this BELIEF
he was forty-four years of age.
He was reminded Of this today.
DR.. Paul Stratton. OF New York. a
minister of the PRESBYTERIAN faith. was
a student in President Wilson's class in
jurisprudence at Princeton University in
1890. Today Dr. Stratton called. with
two other Princeton alumni and Con-
gressman OGlesby OF New York. to pay
their respects to their former teacher.
You remember. PERHAPS" DR.. STRAIT
ton told him. that in 1900 when We
were in your class. YOU were lecturinG
on the duties and qualifications of a

The President nodded.
And" went on DR.. Stratton. we
asked you what YOU thought was the
best age for a man to enter the Presi-
dency. And YOU hesitated. and then
aughingly said. forty-four wears.
The President nodded slightly.

CALLS REVENUE PLAN
OF WILSON UNFAIR
Senator Sherman Declares
Presidents Program For
Taxes Is Sectional.

President Wilson'S whole revenue plan
today was sharply attacked in formal
speech by Senator Sherman Of Illonis
as sectional. unfair. and unnecessary.
He charged the plan was sectional be-
cause It laid a tax on the iron and steel
industries Of the north, without impos-
ing burden on the cotton of the
South; unfair. because it proposed taxes
on gas engines necessary in agriculture
and industry, and because II proposed a
levy on incomes as low as 81 500; and
unnecessary because by economy and
the defeat of such measures as the
shipping bill, the need for more money
HIS own plan Of revenue included, he
said, a higher tariff, sleeper super-tax
on incomes over $4,000 and an inheri-
tance tax. But for the Democratic free
trade legislation, which would have
ruined American industry save for the
war, he said, emergency revenue legiS-
lation would not be necessary.
The proposed tax on 81 800 incomes he
denounced as levy on the mechanic,
the small-salaried man and the locomo-
tive engineer; and the gas-engine tax
as a blow at the farmer and small
business. The whole plan. he said, was
one which might have been designed to
tax the industrial North and exempt
the agricultural South. He read numer-
Gus tabulations into the record to this
effect.

Miss Adams said that her visit today

her return from Europe last year. She
reported no recent indication that any

Miss Adams also appeared before the

and told them that she could no longer
