Washington, April 21. Anions the
patriotic plans of the Daughters of the
American Kevoiuuon, now in annual
session In Washington, Is that of erect
Ins: a flttlnsr memorial to th late
Matthew Fontaine Maury naval officer
ana nyarog-rapiier or international tame,
This plan was conceived by V atauga
chapter, D. A. R., of Memphis, Tenn., In
11102. when Its members were deep In
the study of the American navy and
they realized what a great. debt the na
tion aa a whole owes this man.
Not because he was -a Virginian born;
not because be spent bis early yeara and
received hia education In Tennessee; not
because he , was a commodore In the
. confederate navy, do these , patriotic
southern women ask of the nation a
suitable mejnorial for Maury. But they
ask it because he was perhaps -. the
greatest man America has yet - pro
duced; ', because- he mastered the paths
of the sea; ' because lie-pave the nation
its naval academy, and .-. because h
brought the leading nations of the world
to the establishment of a universal sys
tem of meteorological observation. Be
cause Maury was a potential citizen of
the world, and gave freely and gladly ;
to an nations tne results 01 nis ciemmo
researches and discoveries. It has been
firoposed that this memorial be not
ocal, not even national, but. that other
nations be asked to cooperate and make
It International. r v-: .
Tltwt Monument Wat Destroyed.
The Memphis . chapter brought ''the
matter Berore tne national u. A- ru. a
congress was memorialized on the mat
ter. A bill asking for an appropriation
of 150.000 for a memorial was Intro
duced In congress last session by Sen
tnr EVmler and Renresentatlve Qor
don of Tennessee, and reintroduced by
Representative Gordon about a monin
mmn Antlnn will T0nlblv b ttKMl In
December. The bill dpes not recite the
manner In 'Which the isu.uoo wui e
tised. Watauga chapter's first Idea
was that the memorial take the form of
a lighthouse, an International monu
ment, to be erected off the eastern
coast of Brazil, at Rtfcss Shoals, where
Maurv had often said one was needed.
It 1 interesting to note that there
was once a monument to Maury m the
Virginia mountains, but that unapprecl-
atlve persons soon oiverieu n
vate. nses. It was shortly after
dath of the great man at his home In
I'Mlnglon, wln-ro he was an Instructor
In tli Virginia Mlllitiry limtttuto, that a
nooy or admiring ti lenua and neigiioois
hail a hi if Iron anchor cast, and after
much difficulty had It elevated to a
lilcli mountain point overlooking (Joshen
i'aas a place that Maury -loved, and
where he often went. Farmers ami
other men living In the neighborhood,
evidently oblivious of the fact that'll
was Maury who, for their benefit, hail
charted the air and made the first
meteorological surveys, soon carried
away the anchor, bit bv bit, to be uaed
in the maklnar or mending of farm lin
pleinenta, until little or none remains.
Usually when a hov dinobrvs parental
admonition and runs away to sea. public
sentiment condemns him, and takes the
aide or the enruged parent. Vet the His
tory of the sea faring world has proved
that It was the bst thing thai ever
happened for the nation when ' young
Maury, longing (or the sea In his heart,
and the call of the uncharted ocean
bed ringing In hl ears, left his home
near Franklin, Tennessee, and ehllsted
in the American navy. -He wits aboard
the iiraiidywlne when an appreciative
American nation placed it at the dls-
oaal of the great Lafayette.. lor tne
omeward Journey-to France. In 1824
Maury was appointed a midshipman in
the navy, and the following year made
a Journey around the world as an offi
cer aboard the Vlnrennea. From theu on
he kept his eyes open for the many de
ficiencies In the naval system, and for
the means of Improving the routes of
vessels. , ......'.. .

An -.accident In 1839 that made htm a
cripple caused his appointment aa head
of the bureau of charts in .Washington,
and in the time that lay between, 1841
and 181 he wrought those things tnat
made him world renowned, world hon

mass of log books that had accumu
lated in that office for many years ond
had hitherto been regarded as so much
waste, lie'mapped the ocean bed and the
routes of ocean .travel tnat loueneu
every civilized country on. the aivbe.

, Borah Bays Lav Would Stand.
-One of the men who is strona with
the administration, from a party, view
point, as well as because of convention
and campaign work efficiently done,
Senator Borah or Idaho baa already
gone into tne sunject tnorougniy and
reaches these remarkable conclusions:
First, , that , he .believes the supreme
court today would uphold the principle
!of , Income taxea if properly expressed
In statute; second, that already the
court has declared it legal. In opinions
handed down since the one time it ruled
against it bv, majority of one. He cites a
line of opinions on jthe subject wherein
IS members- of the court have held it
legal, while only five ever : pronounced
aaalnst it. ,
. Senator. Borah has devotetf many
weeks to close study of the law, and
Is so firmly convinced of hia ground
that he consented to dictate the ensuing'
statement as the result of hia perusal
Of the lawbooks: ' ,s.
XAtar Opinions Bound,
rit seems to me that in the light of
the decittlons of the supreme court of
the United States, rendered since the irt
come tax decision, it must be held that
an Income tax would now be held con
stitutional by that court The underly-
1 - n nn,mntfll Trlnn!nla non
which the -Income tax decisii&i wis
based have certainly been modified, if
not wholly abandoned, by later de
cisions. , -
"There'is no way, to my mind, by
which the later decisions can.be recon
ciled in principle with the income tax
decision, while on the other hand the
later decisions are all In harmony with
Hylton case' In 179 to the Springer
case in limo.
99 More Jug-gUnf of Words.

"In other words, you ranfiot change ft

"The economlo principle or the shlft
ableness of the tax aa an element In de
termining whether It Is direct or Indi
rect has been abandoned entirely by tha
court. We ought not to forget, too, that
some IS members of the supreme court

reached such a crisis In the matter of
producing revenue as to necessitate even
the consideration of Imposing duties
noon the necessarian of life, thereby im
posing a greater burden upon tha poor
and the man or nmiiedneans, we mijni

income tax. - '

GREAT CROWDS INVADE
mum
TOM
Profiting by the vivid experience of the past in the establishment
of great industrial centers, when demanded by natural conditions
of trade and transportation, an army of invaders of this new field
of promise literally took possession of BURLINGTON on Sun
day. It was a good-natured army, however, which chiefly con
cerned itself with the investigation of the superior inducements
for money-getting which was found so plainly apparent in the
physical characteristics of Portland's new-born industrial neigh
bor. Throughout the day the trains of the UNITED RAIL-
WAYS were taxed to capacity in carrying the visitors to BUR
LINGTON, and the crowd grew so enthusiastic oyer the plainly
delineated possibilities for material development that it was loath
to depart when nightfall came. They found the townsite of this
model industrial city an achievement of modern landscape engi- ,
neering, which, when built up, will comprise one of the most con
veniently accessible and best laid out cities on the Pacific coast.
It will be but a brief span of time when BURLINGTON, the in
dustrial city of the Pacific, will emerge from the mold of the builder
and take its rank and place among the thriving municipalities of
the western coast. .
More than 300 lots have been sold for the location of business
and residential structures in BURLINGTON. This bare fact tells
the story of progressiveness. A representative of the Ruth Trust
Company will be glad, any day, to escort persons interested in the .
new industrial city arid to show them the amazing possibilities of
BURLINGTON. .
BURLINGTON is now cm the map, the city with a payroll
