The Commoner: It looks bb If evenU were about to vindicate an othor democratic position. The press dispatches report that Senator Cum mins, of Iowa, has Introduced an In come tax amendment to the tariff bill, and It Is claimed that he has tie cured the support of enough repub licans to pass It with the aid of .the democratic vote. It will be remem bered that the democrats passed an Income tax law In 1894 ovor the op position of the republicans. In the campaign of 1906 the democrats en dorsed the income tax principle and U was In the platform of last year. The republicans have never mention ed the matter 1n their platform, but Mr. Roosevelt endorsed the principle and President Taft haB also given It a half-way endorsement. It 1b said Uiat the democrats of the eennte will be a unit In support of an Incomo tax amendment. This Is gratifying news and It Is to be hoped that enough republicans can be found to Hecurc the adoption of UiIb Just provision. A tax upon consumption is neces sarily unjust to the poorer member? of society, for people do not cat food, wear clothing or purchase other tax ed goods In proportion to wealth or Income. It takes as much food to sustain the poor man bb the rich man and as much clothing to keep him warn). While one may spend more than another for food and clothing the difference Is not at all propor tionate to wealth or Incomo. As al1 taxes are paid out of the income, the tax upon consumption Is in fact a graduated Income tax the largest por cent being paid on the smallest Incomes and the smallest per cent on the largest Incomes. A direct tax on Incomes Is, therefore, a tax to equal ise the burdens of government, ant1 a graduated Income tax makes a stll nearer approach to Justice. The Incomo tax Is needed to corroc the Inequalities In Internal revcnii' taxes as well as to correct .the IiiJiib tlce In tariff taxes. Internul reveiiu taxes are collected on liquor and to bacco, and thCBO taxes, too. are mor burdensome to the ioor than to tip rich for men do not use either llq.uo? or tobacco In proportion to wcalth-o-Income. While It Is propor that boll liquor and tobacco should be taxed, II Is only fair thnt thoeo who are under taxed through the Internal re von if system should be taxed In some olhoi way so as to compel thorn to lies' tholr share of public expenditure? The Income tax Is the only tnx Ir sight which will give any approxlms tlon toward Justice In tho mattor ol federal taxation. As Is being pointed out at Wash Ington, it Is not at all certain thnt any Incomo tax measure will be ubl to run tho gauntlet of tho supremi court, and for that renson the clomo crate ought to Insist upon an amond merit to the constitution at the saini tlmo that they urge an Incomo tan measure so that In case of adverse ac tion by the supreme court thoro may still be a chance of securing an In come tax In the future. It Is Intoler able that our government should be so restricted In tho taxation of wealth, and so unlimited It) Its power to call for tho personal services of the cltlicn. The president can Bum mon ovory able-bodied cltlr.en to mil itary duty Tho husband can he taken from his wife, tho son from his moth er and the father from his children: their lives can be required of them If the country's welfaro demands It Why should the property of the rltl en bo so hedged about by constitu tional guarantees or by Judicial de cisions as to make It Impossible for tho Kovorninent to collect a ta for Its support while It protects prop erty? Congress ought to have tin power to collect an Income tnx when ever In the Judgment of Congresf that tax Is necessary, and to make sure of thlB power we ought to have an amendment of the constitution specifically authorlilng tho Income tax. Now that the need of n tux Ik apparent, tho amendment should bo pushed. GUAM.'K SEES JOlvt lt. Pear New Constitution Would Kill Direct IjeKlsUtlon. MrMlNNYIIE, Or.. May 12. A growing attendance marked the sec ond day of the Oregon Htate (irniigi session, many visitors arriving on every train. .Much grange leglslatlx Is being Introduced and several Im portant matters of public Merest an coming up. Following are the ssllont feature!) of the report of the atute master, al of which will be approved by tin grange: "In the matter of tho detenw of the Initiative and referendum In the courts, satisfactory progress hns been made. The pending suit has been ar gued before the state supreme court and the full constitutionality of thr Initiative and referendum agntn tip held. The forces are now being mar shalled for the final struggle in thr United 8tatea supreme court. "Our executive committee has en gaged what la believed to be the tnosi competent legal talent within Its reach. Efforts were also successfully made to Interest others In the cause George H. Shlbley, of Washington. D. C. t president of the Peoples' Rule League of America; Senator Hoar and J. TIarry Carner, of Washington, D. C. have rendered valuable service by tbe preparation of a supplement ary brief which was submitted In r- gumcnt before the Stole suprnie court. Hunger In Sew Cotintltutlou, 'The last legislature submitted to the people the question of calling a constitutional convention for the pur pose of correcting Beveral - alleged weaknesses In our state constitution. Anyone familiar with the leading fac tors in the movement, or who listen ed to tho discussion In the legisla ture when the matter was under con sideration need have no hesitancy In saying that one of the prime motives that has Inspired the movement Is a desire to eliminate direct legislation from our system of government. A constitutional convention would have to he very closely watched If it Is to be prevented from being so packed or so manipulated that our system of di rect legislation bo not stricken out entirely, or so modified as very ma terially to cripple Its usefulness. Hence the people should be very wary about voting for the calling of a con stitutional convention. "Hut the opposition to the Initia tive and referendum will not down. Great care must be exercised in the use of the system If public sentiment Is not at length sufficiently aroused to secure its modification. "One of the strongest points of op position among many not otherwise unfriendly Is tho fact that under the present system the constitution is so loosely guarded, ft Is a fact that as matterB now stnnd, the constitution can be amended fnr too easily for the safety and security of tho state. I venture to call attention to this mat ter again thlB year merely to suggest that It would bo well for friends of tho system to give consideration tu menus of ItB modification in this par ticular before moro Bweeplng changes are forced by Its enemies," HIliKle Tax I'lKlit Attain. Concerning the tnxntlon measure which will be submitted to tho peo ple. In line with suggestions made in the state grange last year tho state mastor says: "This will be one of the most Im portant matterB coming before the voters of the state at the next election and it will be the business of the state grange to conduct a campaign of oducntlon In the Interval between now and election time. The situation Is going to be complicated by the faot that the single tax people, backed by considerable monetary support, are 'leterniined again to Bubmlt a single tax amendment probnhly much more radical than before. No compromise Is probable and their amendment will atmoHt certainly be put forward 'hrough the initiative." Following is a list of the most im portant nintters which the state range will tnke up ns a part of Itp work during the coming year: Tho enactment of legislation con 'errlng upon tho several counties of the state tho control of purely locnl matters such as the regulation of bsI- arloB of county ofncerrc, creation of new offices, election of road .super visors, passing of laws regulating lo- al affairs, etc. Renewal of dcmnmls upon tho Na tional Congress for the creation of postn! savings banks and pnrcels post. Hegtitntlng the speed of automo biles In cities to six mites an hour, and in the country to 12 miles an hour, and providing punishment hy Imprisonment for violations. Opposition to the State of Oregon taking any part in the construction, oporntlon or ownership of rallroiuls. Establishment of n denatured alco hol plant at. the Oregon Agricultural College. Fixing a uniform rate of fare upon all railroads, not to exceed 3 cents per mile.

The second session to he held on tho third Tuesday in May and to last tfi days. At this session no new business Bhnll come ifp, but the business of the former session shall be disposed of.

State Lecturer Johnson, In his re port, says: "During the past year there has been much Interest shown In the edu cational work of the order. When 1 first assumed the position It appeared to me that a most beneficial thing would be to arrange the work so that wo could have tho fullest use of our state and county libraries. The pro posed plan was presented to State Suplerlnlenilent Ackerman, MIsb Cor nelia Marvin, secretary of the state library commission; Dr. James W'lth ycombe, Miss Isom and Miss Fox, of the Portland Library, and It met with their support and co-ojioration. "A year'B trlnl In tli is part of our work has justified the beginning and all that remains is to lighten the work somewhat and make it better adapt Itself to local conditions.

Six hundred thousand dollars will be Bpent during the fiscal year 1908- luuu tor the construction of roads. trails, telephone lines and other per manent Improvements on the Nation- Forests. Congress has approp riated the same amount for this pur pose during the fiscal year of 1909- In order that the forest rangers may cover the large area contained in the district. It 1b very necessary that a system of trails be constructed along routes which give the best con trol of the areas to be patrolled. In many districts telephone lines have been built between tbe supervisor's office and ranger headquarters, and to prominent peaks which are used for lookout station to observe fires. To tight forest tires effectively It Is of the utmost Importance that a force of men be rushed to the Are as soon as possible, as these fires can be con trolled and put out If taken when they are small, where it would be al most Impossible -to check them after they had spread over a large area. For this reason the telephone llneB and trail systems are of vital Import ance and have played no small part In the patrol system which has result ed In the remarkably small area burned over since the forests have been under government supervision. Among other necessary Improve ments provided for, -the service takes up the matter of the betterment of range conditions. First, by tho con struction of drift fences, which are for the purpose of keeping stock within the area allotted to them and to Bavo the time of tho herders; sec ond, by the Improving of springs and watering places. In many sections of the west large arena have been of no value on account of the lack of water during a large portion of the year. By the fencing and piping of tho springs and providing adequate stor age, tho service has been able to con servo a supply of water which enables theso ranges to be used throughout the season; third, by the fencing of 5 or 'lre holes. Ab fast as pos slble, placing where the loss of Btock Quality In The Rambler That quality of refinement In workmanship and material which dominates every detail of the new Rambler Is mo3t apparent when It Is compared, part for part, with cars costing hundreds and thou sands of dollars more, The perfection of civery detail of this automobile can be attrib uted to that Infinite care and pride In his work which every Rambler mechanic brings to hlB Individual task.

In certain sections of Colorado there is a poison larkBpur which, during the spring season, will poison Btock that graze on it. These places are being fenced and the stock kept away from tbe areas until the poisonous season Is over, when they are opened for grazing. Ali of tthe National Forests are di vided Into districta which are under the direct supervision of a forest ranger who looks after the timber cutting and grazing matterB, and pa trols his district to detect and pre vent forest fires. As tbe National Forests are located in mountainous I and timbered country and have but I few settlements within their bound j arles, it is necessary to provide these ; rangers with quarters convenient to I the districts over which they have I charge. These quarters consist of a I small house, a stable for his saddle I horses, a fence enclosing a pasture 1 for hlB stock, and occasionally, the fencing of a small garden patch and a small piece of hay land to provide fodder for the stock during winter.
