HITS BAN ON TRADE
SENATOR SMITH WANTS COTTON
EMBARGO LIFTED.
Georgia Statesman Says Noncombat-
ants in Teutonic Nations Should
Be SuppIied-Not Contraband.

Washington, Jan 22.-Great Brit
aims interference with neutral trade
was the subject of vigorous and ex-
haustive speech in the senate on
Thursday by Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia, who pleaded for action to
prevent England from advancing her
own trade at the expense of the Unit
ed States while attempting to destroy
Germany commercially. He declared
the rights CT citizens Of the the United
States and other neutral nations were
being recklessly disregarded and en-
phasized particularly what he de-
nounced as Great Britain's lawless
treatment of American cotton trade.
Discussing the action of the allies
in proclairling cotton as contraband,
the senator asserted that cotton had
not been used or needed by Germany
or her allies in the manufacture of war
munitions for more than eight months.
Shall we quietly continue to fur
nish Great Britain what she is COM
PEELED to obtain from the United States
while the commercial rights of citi-
zens of this country are trampled I'M
derfoot?" asked the senator. Great
Britain cannot continue the war with
out munitions from the United States.
THE administration has forcefully
brought to the attention of Great Brit
ain the rights of citizens of this coun-
try. 1t has been demonstrated that
citizens of neutral countries have the
right to ship foodstuffs and cotton in
unlimited quantities through the neu-
trail ports of northern Europe to the
noncombatant inhabitants of Germany
and Austria
"The congress of the United States
slept over the rights of shippers of
foodstuffs last winter This was, per-
haps, because the prices were good,
perhaps because we did not investi-
gate the subject The lawlessness of
Great Britain has increased greatly.
"By firmness, but peacefully, neu-
trails can easily obtain their rights
from both belligerents."

after dark the men aboard, alarmed at
the rapid filling Of the disabled ship.

sea was running and the men man.
ming the Verdi's boats were able to
reach the Britisher only after a hard
struggle. When all were at last safely
aboard the Verdi the Pollentis, which
had been left wallowing in the trough
of the sea, was seen to give violent
lurch and then disappeared beneath

GOVERNOR DECLINES
WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE FOR
PRESIDENT.
Under No Consideration Will He Allow
the Use of His Name on the
Republican Ballot.

Madison. E. L. Philip made it
known here that under no considera-
ton would he allow the use OF his
name on the ballot as being a cand1-
date for the republican nomination for
president.
Several republican leaders suggest
ed that Gov. Philip ought to take part
in Wisconsin's first presidential pri-
mary, but the governor by his decision
not to allow the use of his name in this
connection puts at rest the movement
to make him candidate for president.
The impression prevails here that
the republican state convention viii
not consider any proposition to indorse
a senatorial candidate, but that the
convention will confine It's work to the
selection of four candidates for dele
gates at large, receiving the report OF
the several congressional districts as
to their candidates for delegates to
the national convention, and the adop-
ton of a national platform.
In Madison the impression is gen
eral that a second convention will be
held at which candidates will be in
dorsed and state platform enacted.

INCOME TAX VALID
TWENTY YEARS AFTER LAW
FAILS coNsTITUTIoNALITY is
ESTABLISHED BY COURT.
LOWER TRIBUNALS UPHELD
Great Legal Battle of the Cleveland
Administration Is Recalled by the
Latest acknowledgements Are An
sWered by Chief Justice White.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The Supreme
court on Monday upheld the constitu-
tionality of the income tax law. Chief
Justice White announced the decision
in the case of Frank R. Brushaber,
stakeholder of the Union Pacific rail-
road, who sought to enjoin the COM
pany from paying the tax on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
He swept aside the several objections
to the law in whole or in part.
Most of Justice Whites opinion was
directed toward overruling the con-
tention that the income tax amend
ment act provided a hitherto I'M
known power of taxation. Going far
into the history of income tax legls-
lation, the chief concluded the argu-
ment was without merit.
Advancing to other points, the chief
justice held that the tax was not I'M
constitutional because it was retroac-
tive.
The argument that the law was I'M
constitutional because labor, agricul-
tural and horticultural organizations
and such were exempt, the chief JUS
tice held, was answered by decisions
under the corporation tax law. He
said the point was only another illus
tration of an erroneous assumption
that the tax was imposed under a
new power conferred upon the gov
eminent by the sixteenth amendment,
whereas it was power recognized to
exist from the beginning of the gov
eminent and thus decisions defining
the taxing power previously rendered
were applicable to it.
Five separate suits to test the con-
stitutionality of the new income tax
were brought in the federal courts
throughout the country soon after the
law became effective and all found
their way to the Supreme court of the
United States. For nearly fifty years
the fight for and against federal in
come tax has been in the courts. The
income tax imposed during the Civil
war and the years Immediately fol-
lowing was not attacked with the
seriousness of later cases; it was not
until the Cleveland administration
placed an income tax in the Wilson
tariff act that the fight became seri-
Gus.
The contest over the validity of the
tax in 1894 and 1895 before the SUI
preme court was one of the most bit
ter ever fought out before the court.
One of the lawyers, James G. Carter,
warned the court against setting up
it's judgment to thwart the will of
60,000000. Joseph H. Choate, oppos-
ing, called upon the court to exercise
it's judicial power regardless of any
popular or populistic propaganda.
