HOUSE DEBATES CHILD LABOR.
Southern Members Vigorously Oppose
Heating Measure.

Washington.-The Heating child la.
Dor bill, designated to prohibit the in.
~terstate shipment of goods manufac-
tured by children under l6 years of
age, was debated for six hours in the
House on Jan. &c, southern members
particularly offering strenuous oppo
sition to the measure. The debate was
not concluded, although the House sat
an hour past the usual time for adj
journment, and the measure will be
taken up for unlimited argument on
Feb. 2.
Representatives Howard OF Georgia
and Shirley of Kentucky were the only
|southerners supporting the bill. Mr.
Shirley spoke only of the constitutional
questions involved, but Mr.. Howard
swept aside constitutional arguments
and laid the blame for much of the
child labor in the south on "traffick
ing, no account, drunken daddies." He
declared that it was the duty Of the
whole country to protect their chill
dren.

LIMIT RIVERS HARBORS BILL
HOuee Committee Cuts Out Museel
Shoals and Cumberland River
From the Appropriation.

Washington.-The rivers and har-
bors committee has voted to innclude
no new projects in its forthcoming
bill, but to contine appropriations sole
ly to projects already authorized, thus
limiting the total to approximately
$44, 600, 900.
Estimates for new projects sggre-
gate nearly 1925 O,000. Chairman
Suarkman announced the committee
would begin hearings soon on new
projects for inclusion IN the rivers and
harbors bill for the December session
Of Congress.
This action is regarded as formal
notice that there will be no general
river and harbor bill this year. 1t &C
cords with the presidents program.
Important projects submitted to the
committee and eliminated by the late
decision totaled S122, 935,697, for which
an initial appropriation of $27,622, 1893
had been asked. Advocates of many Of
these improvements are expected to
make a fight for them when the com
mittee's report comes before the
House. No new Improvements were
authorized last year, a filibuster in the
Senate having forced a compromise I'M
der which no money was appropriated
except to continue work on existing
projects.
Among the proposals cut out by the
committees action are:
Tennessee river, at Muscle Shoals,
1870 900; Beaufort-St. Johns river,
Florida, $14,40O, 900; purchase of the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal, $S,-
000, 1000; Red River, Louisiana and Ar
kansas, $6,020,O00; New York-Dela-
ware Bay canal, $40, 900, 900; New
York harbor, upper bay, East River
and He'll Gate, s14, 23O, 900; Sacramen-
to and San Joaquin rivers, California,
5 $500, 900; Los Angeles and Long
Beach harbors, $1,000, OOO; Cumberland
river, above Nashville, Tenn, s4,5O0,-
900; dam at the foot of Lake Erie, New
York, $4,000, 900; waterway, st. George
Sound to Rio Grande, $3,632,910; Bos-
ton harbor, $1,545,000; Norfolk har.
Dor, $1,114,OO0; Connecticut river, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts,, $3.50, 900;
Jamaica Bay, N. Y, 1928, 900; Nawili-
Twill harbor, Hawaii, $1,OS6, 900.
Regarding the report of the special
committee of eight to draft a bill for
separating the Mississippi river from
the annual river and harbor bill, it has
been learned, that the committee was
proceeding hopefully" AS one com.
mitteeman expressed it, there's a hen

INCOME TAX CONSTITUTIONAL
v. 8. Supreme Court lie Unanimous In
Sweeping Aside All Contention.
Decision EIates Congress.

Washington.-The income tax has
been declared constitutional by the
supreme court in a unanimous decis.
ION which swept aside every contention
raised against It, and. In the opinion
OF congressional leaders, opened the
way for increasing :he tax rate on
great fortunes 70 help pay for national
defense.
Proposals are pending in Congress
TO tax incomes OF more than $1,000
600 as high as 50 per cent. Leaders
on all sides agreed that out Of the i'm
petus which the decision will give
such proposals Is likely to come a def
mite movement to levy on the revenues
from great private fortunes for some
OF the millions the government must
raise to carry out the army and navy
increases.
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 1t can be made to yield
1885,, 900 900 to $195, 600, 900 a year, as
against $4,000, 900 or 500, 000, 900 at
present"
Representative Hull Is preparing
amendments to carry the tax to in
comes below $4,000 and make graded
increases In the surtaxes on incomes
exceeding 100000 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 solu.
ton because, with the constitutionality
Of the income tax undecided, admins
tration leaders were reluctant to place
too much dependence on 1t.
In its decision the supreme court
construed for the first time the six.
teenth amendment to the constitution,
under which the tax Is levied, and gave
It the broadest Interpretation posi-
bic, rejecting suggestions to confine
its scope to narrow limits.
The decision was announced by
Chief Justice White. 1t was rendered
in the appeal of Frank B. Brushaber
from the action of the New York fed
eral court in refusing to enjoinder the
Southern Pacific, Of which Brushaber
was a stakeholder, from paying the
tax.
