INCOME TAX IDEA OPPOSED Washington Politicians Discussing Columbus Speech Unfavor ably Revision Criticised. Washington, Aug. 26. Some of the politicians here, who are watch ing the trend of national politics, be lleve that in his speech at Columbus Mr. Taft, secretary of war, made at least two blunders. One of these was In his tariff revision utterances, and the other In advocating the chang ing of the anti-trust laws so as to prpvldo for the. control of those trusts In "unreasonable" restraint of trade. On the whole It Is realized that the speech, In its general terms, Is a di rect reflection of the administration view in most things. The war secre tary read his speech of yesterday to the president and the president read his speech of today to his war sec retary and each indorsed the other. Relative to the use of the word "un reasonable" in a revised trust law, It Is pointed out that such an amend ment would be, in a large measure, playing directly Into the hands of the big corporations popularly be lieved to be operating In restraint of trade. Position Taken by Kno. In the trans-Missouri case, in the Joint Traffic Association case, and still later, and of even more import ance, the Northern Securities case, the defense claimed that the restraint of trade with which they were charg ed was not unreasonable, neither was it harmful or contrary to the public Interest. The position was attacked strongly and successfully hy the government. Mr. Knox, who was then attorney general, held that such construction placed on the stat ute would negative the efforts of the government. Some "standpatters" are not Im pressed with Secretary Taft's re marks on the tariff. For Instance, they don't like this language: "It is the duty of the Republican party to see to it that the tariff on Import ed articles does not exceed substan tially the reasonably permanent dif ferential between the cost of produc tion in the foreign countries and that In the United States. Whenever the tariff Imposed is largely in excess of the differential between the cost of production in the two countries, thei'o is formed at once a great temp tation to monopolies." Not True, Shjs StumlpaUi-r. It is especially the last sentence above quoted to which exception is taken by a prominent ofllcial whose name has become synonymous with "standpntism," a man whoso voice has been raised In many states of tho Union in previous campaigns in be half of tho protective tariff, but who does not desiro his Identity known in this connection. lie said of tho sentence quoted: "That is not true. Wo want to know that we have enough protec tion. Further, tho free trade or non protective policy of England Is moro conduclvo to monopoly than our high protective tariff." This gentleman ngrees with Mr. Taft that tho Republican party can well afford to wait until after another presidential election in order to make any possible revision of tho tariff, which hd does not admit Is neces sary. Ho thinks Mr. Taft has said something which tho opponents of the Republican party desired him to say, In a scorning admission that tho protective tariff was conduclvo to monopoly, and which would be used against the party at every oppor tunity. This same gentleman differed with Mr. Taft in relation to his ideas of an income tax, saying that he bollov cd tho Supremo Court decision on that question was honest and based on honest and correct grounds. Ho added that ho noticed Mr. Taft touched on inheritance and incomo taxes nithor gingerly. AT THE HOTELS. Hlanco: M. A. Phillips, Seattle, S. A. Deck, Portland, Jesse Taylor, Ray Bean, Herman C.

I FIVE HUNDRED HURT IN POLITICAL RIOT Tuo Thousand Police mid 10,000 Picnickers lhittlu on Long Island. New York. Aug., 27. In a pitched battle between 10,000 perbons who attended an outing given by tho Tammany Jefferson Club Louis J. Haffen's organization and 2,000 policemen, waiters and longshore men this evening at Wltzel's Point View Grove, College Point, L. I., moro than 500 were Injured. The police obtained only a few names. Revolvers, knives, blackjacks and all sorts of weapons were used. Four sisters of charity wero drag ged about the dining hall and their clothing was nearly torn off. The row started In a dispute between one of the politicians and a waiter over a plate of Ice cream. The proprietor, Wltzel, attempted to Interject a re mark, and was promptly knocked down. Tho the special police and waiters rallied to the rescue and the fight was on. l'olico Lock tho Doors. The pavillan Is inclosed on all sides and there was no way of get ting out after the fight started, be cause the police rushed In and locked the doors. They did this to prevent the crowd outside from rushing in and adding to the riot. When the heavy reserves of regu lar police several hundred strong, ar rived they had to fight their way into the pavilion with their c.ibs. Tho fusillade was turned on them and they were smeared. All the rioters who were on their feet were driven out then tho police undertook to dig the other out of the wreck. Some of them were bulled under a mass of food and broken furniture. Policeman Edward Butler and tho two detectives who had reached the pavilion flrst were sad sights. Their fellow policemen had to dig several courses of the banquet out of their eyes and ears and hair. The riot was finally quelled after a hard fight, and nineteen of the rio ters were so seriously Injured that they had to be removed to the hos pital. President Haffen charges the riot was started by political enemies, but at any rate the Bronx is full of brok en heads and smashed faces tonight. Fnr Rule Good resldonco on Broadway. J. D. Johnson.
