THE INCOME TAX.
Only two more slates are need
ed to complete the thirty-six nec
essary to the ratification of the
income tax amendment. Six Dem
ocratic legislatures are among
the fourteen which either have
refused to ratify the amendment
or have taken no action upon it.
The amendment promises to he
ratified and becomes a part of the
Constitution about the time Wil
son becomes president, giving a
Democratic congress another
source of revenue outside the tar
iff.
The amendment lias nothing of
a partisan political character. It
was submitted to the states by a
resolution passed by a Republi
can congress. It has been in
dorsed in successive Democratic
national platforms. The states
that have ratified have expressed
themselves in about equal propor
tions through Democratic and Re
publican legislatures. Of those
lhat remain undecided or have
voted in the negative the legis
latures in some will be Democrat
ic, in some Republican. These
states are in the South and in
'New England, in the Middle West
and the. Rocky Mountains.
There should be an organized
movement to secure the adoption
of the income tax amendment as
promptly as possible. If the' Re
publicans, from political motives,
at this late day. choose to pur
sue the course of inaction or hos
tility, then let the Democrats take
up the work. There are half a
dozen states with Democratic
legislatures about to convene
where a favorable vote may be ex- j
peeled this winter if the matter is j
pressed.
In readjusting the burdens of
-taxation tin* coming Democratic
congress will be under a plain
mandate from the country to do
justice to the consumer. An in
come tax lightening the heavy)
burden of consumption is a pledge
of I he parly plat form which Dem
ocracy must redeem.
The adoption of the. income lax
amendment will do more than any
oilier one tiling to make it pos
sible to take the tariff question
out of politics.
EDITORIAL ROTES.
At what age is a woman most
beauliful, asks Lillian Russell.
We know, hut don’t dare tell.
If Andy Carnegie really wants
to die poor lei him start in tlic
newspaper publishing business.
As between the president and
congress, fourth-class postmas
ters won’t know when* (hey are
al.
. What was I In; use of again
counting Wilson’s vole if it was
not to make the presidential in
cumbent feel bad.
The members of the legisla
ture-elect are promising us all
kinds of new laws. They have to
do that as there are no old bad
ones to repeal.
II will he a good joke on the
smokers and users of tobacco if
they an.. to build all
those good roads on which the
giddy can joy ride.
Modern philosophy would be all
right if so many philosophical
writers did not think it their duly
to be sarcastic or cynical. There
is still happiness and cheer in
life. _
One certainly must go away
from home to hear the news. A
London newspaper solemnly an
nounces that Col. Roosevelt will
have a portfolio in President Wil
son’s cabinet.
The Krupp gun works report'a'
profit of $12,500,000 during the
year 1912. Most of this was
made in furnishing Turkey with
bum guns and amunition at the
price of the realdeadly thing.
J. Pierpont Morgan does'not
fear a money trust, and says it
is impossible for one man to con
trol the money of the country,
probably being aware that 1(55
men already had most of the
money cornered.
Not only are conservative Dem
ocrats yielding to the progressive
ideas of the people, but we have
a faint recollection of some ju
dicial decisions being radically
modified since the people spoke
in no uncertain tones.
.Judge Archb'old carries the dis
linguishcd honor of being the
third jurist to be impeached by
congress in the history of the
country. It is a good thing for
the country that there are but few
of I tie stripe of till* commerce
court judge.
Upon what basis the people of
the citrus belt demand a reduc
tion of freight rates for their par
tial crop of oranges and lemons,
is hard to understand, inasmuch
as the railroad companies are the
greatest sufferers by reason of
the recent cold snap.

If we understand the president
elect. lie is willing to appoint the
men lo olfic/ whom the people
want, provided their records are
clean. The/ being the case, there
are some men in this division who
will not draw down a government
salary under President Wilson.
The slate of Washington has
assets valued at $1 13,000,000,
aside from her oyster lands and
an indebtedness of less than $2,
500,000, and consequently will not

some time yet, especially that her
assets are increasing in value at
a rapid rate.

II i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a Ionic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we're right.
If you drink beer you. should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second because it is a hom* product; brewed in your home
I own and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
