NEED INCOME TAX
TO PHY EXPENSES,
Cummins Contends New Im
post Both Just and
Necessary.
PREDICTS BIG DEFICIT
Towa Senator Says Without Tax on
Incomes, $175,000,000 Will Be
Amount In 1911 Borah
Joins Attack on Aldrich.
WASHINGTON. June 30. The Income
tax was practically the only subject, and
Cummins or Iowa and Borah of Idaho
the only speakers before the Senate today.
Borah was heard toward the close of
the session, when the Iowa Senator yield
ed the floor, which he had held since
yesterday. He took for his text the dec
laration made yesterday by Aldrich that
he would vote for the corporation tax
amendment only as a means of defeating
the Income tax. and without resorting to
personalities he criticised fhe position of
the chairman of the finance committee,
who had presented the corporation tax
amendment to the Senate.
Need Income Tax for Revenue.
Cummins took the floor as soon as a
quorum could be obtained and held It
until 4:30 o'clock In the afternoon. Much
of the time today was devoted to the
consideration of the Natlon'B finances,
but considerable attention was also given
to the general merits of a tax on in
comes, which Cummins defended as the
most rational, because the most Just, of
all taxes.
Estimating the total revenues under the
Aldrlch-Payne bill at ST6O.0O0.00O and those
to be derived from the Internal revenue
at $2),ono.00O. he predicted that at the
end of fhe fiscal year 1911 there would be
a deficit of not less than J175.O0O.O0O. He
therefore contended that the amendment
of the tariff bill by the addition of an
income tax was necessary in order to
produce sufficient revenue.
Kxprcts Defeat of Amendment.
Cummins said If the finance commit
tee s resolution providing for the submis
sion to the states of a constitutional
amendment for an income tax should
be presented to the Senate, he would
vote for it. but not with any hope of its
success He did not doubt that there
would be enough opposltiton In a suffi
cient number of states to defeat the
proposition.
Borah spoke in support of a straight
income tax amendment to the tariff bill
He declared his opposition to ihe cor
poration tax, which he regards as
another means for taxing the consumers
of the country. He favored the income
tax. he said, because It would have made
possible a distribution of the burdens of
the Government between the consumers
and the wealthy.
The proceedings were begun with the
i U J? Kean- of an emphatic

LONG LEGAL FIGHT AHEAD
"Four-Mile Law" to Be Contested on
Every Hand, Distillers of Liquor
Taking Lead of Battle
in the Courts.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 30. The Holi
day state-wide prohibition bill went Into
effect at midnight tonight. The bill makes
it illegal to sell whisky or other alcoholic
beverages within four miles of any school
house in the state. The passing of the
saloon was marked throughout the state
by scenes of unusual hilarity. All through
the day and up to the very stroke pf
midnight saloons were crowded with
revelers. Extra police precautions were
taken here at the request of the saloon
men. who feared their patrons might get
unruly.
In striking contrast with the scenes of
revelry the state-wide prohibitionists held
private meetings of rejoicing. There were
prayer services ln the homes of leading
members of local prohibition forces, al
though no public meeting was held. Hun
dreds of social clubs have been organized
to evade the law, but on these, and on
"blind tigers," the authorities promise to
wage vigorous warfare.
The manufacturers' bill to prohibit the
manufacture of liquors does not become
operative until January 1, Counsel have
oeen retained in Nashville and in other
cities to test the prohibition measures so
far as the sale by manufacturers and
wholesale dealers to persons outside the
state are concerned.
General Jefferson, McCarn, Attorney
General of Davidson County, takes the
position that liquors cannot be sold ln
Tennessee after midnight tonight, either
at wholesale or retail, and says he will
prosecute all violators.

Joh-W. Schorr, president of the com
