in taxing incomes. But many State
Legislatures have already decided to use
incomes for their own taxation. Kansas,
In the recent election, enacted an in
come tax law, the proceeds of which
are to be used to reduce realty taxation.
In February other State legislatures
are reported as planning to institute
income taxation, although the Federal
Government has already raised income
taxes to the point where it is question
of how much more the traffic will bear.
The Federal Government, on the other
hand, once regarded inheritance taxa
ton as a field for the States. But
Congress has invaded that field and IN
the current revenue law has made fur
ther incursions that will result IN
double taxation of the same estates.
The gasoline tax has been worked to
death by the States, and the Federal
Government has already decided to take
its share of this form OF sales tax.
Missiasippi's general sales tax has pro-
lOI blldG OIobC a NA~o~-f
with the result that other States are
now licking their chops over the pros
pect Of imposing general sales tax,
while the Federal Government is also
wondering whether it can achieve bal
anced budget without a general sales
tax. Practically the only form of tax
alton that the Federal Government has
left for the States is the taxation OF
real estate, while the States necessarily
have left for the Federal Government
the exclusive taxation Of imports.
"It seems to be absolutely imperative" I"
writes Henry w. Toll, director Of the
American Legislators Association, that
something shall be done about this tax
muddle. BY some hook or crook the
taxing programs Of our forty-nine legis-
lative bodies must be developed into a
single coherent system"
The hope of doing that in advance
of the millennium is slim. There does
remain hope for a program Of education
that will inform the tax-burdened
people themselves Of why their taxes
are so high now and why the trend
continues upward The meeting here
last week was in preparation for con-
vention in February Of the American
Legislators Association, at which efforts
will be made toward drawing up pro-
gram that can be approved by the
States and the Federal Government.
There is no existing machinery for such
approval. If there were such nachin-
cry, making it function in this connec-
tion might be impossible. What the
tax experts can do is to present pic
ture of the situation that exists and
illustrate the tendencies that must be
changed. and to hope that the moral
will sink in" gradually.

Col. Bennett Clark, Senator ELECT
from Missouri, is likely to come to
Washington to take up his duties be-
fore the close of the present short ses-
sion of Congress, if reports are true.
Senator Harry B. Hawes, who did not
seek denomination, is expected to re-
sign his seat about February l, and SO
make way for the appointment OF Col.
Clark by the new Democratic Governor
to fill the vacancy until Clark's own
term begins on March f. If this course
is followed, Col. Clark will enter ths
Senate q few weeks ahead Of a lot OF
other newly elected Democrats, and SO
will have a measure of seniority over
them, and seniority Is valuable mat
ter in the Senate, which is governed a
lot by precedents and length Of service.
The newly elected Senator from Mis-
souri,, son of the later Speaker Champ
Clark, is coming into the upper house
under auspicious circumstances. While
he has had no previous experience in
Congress, he has a raft of friends in
Washington. Furthermore, he CAM
paigned as one of the ardent support
ers of repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment, and that, it appears, Is going to
be a popular issue in the new Congress
meeting after March 4.

agement for the drys in this third
report. The total figures show q
small but steady increase of rela-
tive dry strength In the voting.
1.-THE dry percentage has climbed
from 1885 in the first report to
1a.2S in the second and now to
22.61 in the third.
Seven new states have prelimin-
airy roundups In this third report
with its total tally of 1,S23,2S4
post card ballots. Besides Kan
sas, the newcomers are Arkansas,
Iowa, Massachusetts, Mississippi,
South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Whatever the governor Of
South Carolina may have replied
to the governor OF North Carolina
poll fans may have their curiosity
excited by the discovery that South
Carolina In this report Is almost
eight per cent wetter than North
Carolina.
But the drys will be relieved to
shade dryer than she was last
week. Just a trifle Of less than
one-half OF one per cent. Not
rivaling Kansas yet, but not get
ting any wetter.
"There are still dry critics here
and there who attack the Literary
Digests poll as gigantic conspir-
acy to aid the wet cause.
"Others mournfully suppose that
vote for repeal Of the 18th
amendment would signify O wild
desire to see the whole nation
plunge into an alcoholic spree,
which is O favorite bugaboo to
brighten timid souls.
Food for study may be found
In our 1880 figures by those OF
our readers who, two years ago,
took one side or the other In that
burning controversy over tho
modification vote.
Were the men and women who
marked their crosses for light
wines and beers to be counted as
vets? Or were they carefully
disguised drys defending the 18th

SHEPAUC AND
ITS TRIBUTARIES
These and Other Waters
Added to State Leased
Trout Streams
COVERS VAST AREA

one Of the most extensive addi-
lions ever made to Connecticut's
system OF state-leased trout
streams has been announced by
| Thomas Fl. Beck Of Wilton, chair
man of the Connecticut State
Board of Fisheries and Game.
Through gift of q lease granting
control Of fishing rights to the
state OF Connecticut, the Connecti-
cut Light & Power company has
made It possible for the state to
add the company's extensive hold
lngs, bordering on eight streams,
to the 100 miles Of trout waters
already under state control.
With the exception Of certain re-
stricted areas used for operating
purposes, the lease covers property
along the banks Of the following
streams; Shepaug river, Housaton-
ic river and its tributaries, Farm
ington river, Sandy Brook In Col
chester, Still river In Winchester,
Thames river at Kitemaug, Quine-
baug and Shetucket rivers.
The lease specifies that no rights
are conveyed In the vicinity Of any
canal, forebay, tail-race or head
works of any power projects owned
by the company, and that the state
| may retain control until the lease
is cancelled by the company.
4 Probably the most important
| ACQUISITION under the Connecticut
Light & Power company's gift is
considerable mileage on the Hou-
satonic river. This fine stream has
llong been considered excellent
trout water in its upper reaches
and has been stocked in a limited
way for a number of years. The
state board Of fisheries and game
has not considered 1t advisable to
liberate q large number Of trout in
localities where the public might
afterward be excluded by private
interests.
With extensive control of the
Housatonic under the power COM
pany lease, however, stocking and
posting as a state-leased stream
will be undertaken Immediately
Some 1000 adult rainbow trout are
