A Row in Commons.

1t was bound to happen. Sooner or
later disorder was sure to break out
in the British House of Commons.
Ever since the assumption of minis
terial authority by the Laborites the
proceedings have been quiet and
dignified. But all the elements Of a
lively shindy were present, awaiting

home-rule bill was under discussion
The bill itself has no pyrotechnic
quality, but the long-pent nerves of
the Labor and Advanced Liberal mem
bership finally reached the breaking
point over a wholly secondary ques-
ton of closure. Some of the Laborite
members were impatient at the debate
and wanted to vote. Some of the Con-
servatives wanted to talk little
longer. The speaker held strictly to
the rules of procedure. Clamor broke
out, disorder prevailed. One member
went 80 far as to light his pipe in con-
travention of an age-old prohibition

hurry, and when he came he was
greeted by one of his own supporters
angrily with the query: what are
you coming in now for, after being
away all day?" A Laborite called a
Conservative, who persisted in claim
ing the right to speak, big, long
drink of water" Finally the speaker
declared the session at an end, while
one of the Labor members shouted
out that this was the beginning Of the
end of Parliament.
Ever since the Labor ministry took
hold it has been the general belief
that it could not last many months.
Lacking majority in Commons, it

Protests Changing Name
Of Rainier to Tacoma
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
An attempt is being made in Con
gress to change the name of Mount
Rainier to Mount Tacoma because
Admiral Rainier was an officer in
the British navy land consequently
an enemy of the Colonies"--this over
the head of the United States
Geographic Board, which has twice
patiently heard the matter and twice
decided that Tacoma had no author
1ty in history, and that Rainier was
as firmly fixed by right of discovery
and usage as any geographical name
in the country
II geographical names are to be
changed on such a pretext. Repre-
sentative John +. Miller has intro
duced resolution in Congress to
appoint a joint committee of the
Senate and House to remove all Brit
ish, Spanish and German names be-
cause we have since been at war with
those nations. This makes the sub
ject of nationwide significance.

Tribute to Mothers.
Writer Believes Memorial Day
Should Be Nation Greatest.
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor of The Star;
For the observance tomorrow q
Mothers day. as has been the beauti-
full custom for a number of years,
special tributes will be paid through
out the length and breadth of the
land to the sweetest and dearest Of
all worthy creations, our mother
For memory of those who have
passed over to the celestial shore
white carnation will be worn, While
for those who are still living d req
one will be worn. In addition 10
this tribute the subject of Mother
will furnish a happy and appropriate
theme for many thousands of pulplts
Could there be a more beautiful or
a more desired memorial custom than
this? Is there a name under the sun
more worthy to be I1onored and cher
ished and remembered than that Of
mother? How blessed is the memory
of those who have gone on before
Does 1T not float to US now like
grateful perfume of some woodland
blossoms? How oft we long for the
touch of a vanished hand. and the
sound of a voice that is STILL
The music of other voices may be
lost, but the enhancing memory OF
hers will echo in our souls forever
Other faces will fade away and he
forgotten. but hers will shine on un-
til the light from heavens portals
shall glorify, we trust, our own.
If we could concentrate all the
world into one flower. we would call
it a rose. If we could concentratc
all the melody of the universe into
one composition we would call it the
Messiah. If we could concentrate all
the tenderness and sympathy of the
world. into one endearing term, We
would call it Mother.
No other word in the language is
invested with such charm and pathos
as this. The very incense of heaven
seems to cling to it. Even in our old
age we look back with a feeling OF
fondest affection and with a memory

the ministry has done well and has,
save on a few minor questions, had
strong support from both the Liberals
and Conservatives. But it cannot go
on indefinitely without a specific man

and a general election are regar ded

probably hasten the adjournment, per-
haps precipitate an adverse vote that
will be the signal for dissolution.

Income Tax Reduction

The usual notices have been issued
by this office reminding income tax
payers that the second installment
of tax is due June 18th. Of special
interest to taxpayers is the provision
carried in the new revenue law to
the effect that the tax on income
received by individuals in the calen-
dar year 1928 will be reduced by
25fo. This means that every individ-
ual who is subject to income tax will
be relieved of one-fourth of the tax
liability which he reported on the
return filed on or prior to March Is,
or if the tax was paid in full. that he
will receive a refund OF one-fourth
of his payment.
The main point to be borne in mind
is that the only persons Immediately
affected by this reduction of $50 are
those who paid only one-quarter of
the amount of tax shown on their
returns for 1928 Such persons must
pay on or before June 18th, 1924, ones-
half of the amount paid by them
when they filed their returns. In
other words, a payment is required to
be made between now and June 18TH
1924, which will be sufficient to make
the original tax disclosed by tax
payers on 1928 returns, less the 259o
reduction thereof, provided by the
new revenue law, one-half paid by
June 18th, 1924 Thus, if tax
payer filed return showing $4,000
due on March 18th, 1924, and paid
$500 he should pay between now
and June 18th, 1924, $12.50 more.
In cases where taxpayers paid the
full amounts of tax shown on their
returns, refunds will be made of one
fourth of the amounts. 1t will not
be necessary for claims to be filed.
In fact, correspondence from taxpay-
ers relative to such refunds will
probably serve to slow down the work
of this office in listing all the items
and sending the necessary schedules
to Washington, in order that the
checks may be drawn. This work will
be carried on as rapidly as it can be
performed.
