, that wealth may bear its propor-

the tederal government."
| Mr. Bryan indorsed this plank
and urged the necessity of a con
stitutional amendment. Presi-
dent Taft, in his acceptance
speech, insisted that an amend-
ment was r.ot necessary. For
years the republican leaders have
opposed an income tax and de-
nounced the democrats for advo-
cating it. But behold the change!
President Taft sends a message
to congress proposing the sub-
mission of an income tax amend-
ment and it passed.the senate by
A UNANIMOUS VOTE-77 ay.-s;
nays, none. And it will un-
doubtedly pass theihouse. Was
vindication ever more complete?
Democratic governors in states
having democratic legislatures
ought to call extra sessions at
once and secure immediate ratifi-
cation of the amendment. In-
come tax clubs ought to be
formed immediately in every
county - non-partisan clubs to
pledge members of the various
legislatures to vote for ratification
Now is the time to act. The
dollars have been enjoying an
exemption denied to man. As
the law is now the government
in time of war can take the hus-
band from the wife, the son
from the mother and the father
I from his children, and stand
j them up in front of an enemy's
guns, but it can not, even in the
j hour of peril, compel wealth to
j bear its share of the expenses
of the government. The income
tax amendment ought to be rati-
fied at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Let democrats get to
J work in every community and
■ invite republicans to join them.

cally authorizing an income tax.

a "cinch" A will get the best
of the trade when he buys the
cows. Even more so with the
cotton grower. He must sell.
and he sells on a market manipu-
lated, not for his benefit, on a
scale of grades known onlv to
the other fellow. This is the in-
spiring reason for cotton Krad-
ing schools. The cotton grower
knows now that he must have
as keen an eye for the quality of
his product as the buyer. If he
has not who knows hut he has
been victimized? It is not a
question of suspicion, this desire
creating cotton grading schools;
