TIC TURN DOWN WILSON'S PLAN
House Democrats Opposed to Taxing
Internal Combustion Engines, In
General Use on Farms.

Washington, Dec. 24.-House Demo-
Gratis have decided to fling by the board
one of President Wilson's suggestions
for raising revenue. It is his tenta-
tive plan for taxing internal sombus-
ton engines, now an institution on
farms throughout the country.
Congress began to hear from "the,
country just as soon as the Presi-
dents message was printed Every
farmer who owned a gasoline engine
with which he operated his fodder
cutter, his separator, his churn, or
pump, was up in arms. The response
to the Presidents suggestion was so
instantaneous and vigorously mega
from the farmer, in
addition to the expected howl from
the automobilist, that the administra,
ton leaders in Congress decided it
was political exrediency to drop the
proposed tax plan at once.
Congressional leaders, with an eye
on the farmers vote mkt year, as we'll
as the votes of automobilists, decided
it would be better to shelve the en-
CINE tax. Another factor in the de-
cis:on, it was understood, is the wide.
spread use of automobiles as farm We
hicleS.

Washington. Dec. 22.-"The Secre.
tary OF State to Ambassador PentieId.
department of State. Washington,
December ~. 1915.
you are instructed to address q
note to the Austro-Hungarian minister
OF foreign affairs. textually as follows:
The government of the United
States has received the note OF your
excellency relative to the sinking OF
the Ancona, which was delivered at
Vienna on December Is. 1915, and
transmitted to Washington, and has
given the note immediate and careful
consideration.
Ion November Is, 1916, Baron
Zwtedenek, the charge d'affaires OF
the imperial and royal government at
Washington, transmitted to the de.
partment Of state report of the Aus
tro-Hungarian admiralty with regard
to the sinking of the steamship An.
coma, in which it was admitted that
the vessel was torpedoed after her
engines had been stopped and when
passengers were still on board.
This admission alone is, in the
view of the government of the United
States, sufficient to tx upon the com
mander OF the submarine which fired
the torpedo the responsibility for hav.
Ing wiilfully violated the recognized
law OF nations and entirely disregard
ed those humane principles which ev
cry belligerent should observe in the
conduct OF war at sea- In view OF
these admitted circumstances, the
government of the United States feels
justihed in holding that the details OF
the sinking Of the Ancona, the weight
and character of the additional testl
mony corroborating the admiralty's
report, and the number of Americans
killed or injured are in no way essen
ttal matters of discussion. The culpa
bility Of the commander is in any case
established, and the undisputed fact
is that citizens of the United States
were killed, injured or put in jeopardy
by his lawless act.
Principles Of Humanity Violated.
1.-The rules of international law
and the principles Of humanity which
were thus wilfully violated by the
commander of the submarine, have
been so long and so universally recog
nized. and are so manifest from the
standpoint of right and justice that
the government of the United Sta es
does not feel called upon to debate
them and does not understand that
the imperial and royal government
questions or disputes them.
The government of tho United
States therefore finds no other course
open to it but to hold the imperial
and royal government responsible for
the act Of it's naval commander, and
to renew the definite but respectful
demands made in it's communication
OF the sixth of December, 1915. It sin.
cerely hopes that the foregoing state
ment OF it's position will enable the
imperial and royal government to per-
ceive the justice of these demands
and to comply with them in the same
spirit OF frankness and with the same
concern for the good relations now
existing between the United States
and Austria-Hungary which prompted
the government of the United States
to make them.
