Celebrate Pohava Fight.
St. Peteraborg, Joa 21. Tae whole

preparations for the Poltava bicente

over f acr days and be in the nature of
satad m tiat aa anieadmeat is the
only prtiper eocrse for ia establishment
to ia fin extent. I therefore recom
mend to the congress tiat both hocses,
by a two-thirds vote, shall propose aa
amesidment to the eacstitsrtioQ confer
ring the power to levy an income tax
opoc the national government withoct
apportionment among the states in pr
portioc to population.
"This eocrse is macfe to be preferred
to the one proposed, of re-exactiag a
law once jadicialiy declared to be cn
constisitiocaL For eocgress to assume
that the cocrt win reverse iaelf and to
enact legislation on sack asffsmptiso
will not strengthen popular conadaace
in the stability of the jaiicial eocstrw
tioc of the eonstltsrtloo. It is macs
wiser policy to accept the constitution
and remedy the defect in dae and regu
lar eocrse.
"Again, it is clear that by the enact
ment of the proposed law, the congress
will not be bringing money into the
treasury to meet the present deficiency,
bat by petting 00 the statute book a
law already there and never repealed
will simply be suggesting to the execu
tive Seers of the government their
possfole daty to invoke litigation.
"If the eocrt shoeid maintain its
formar view, no tax wocld be collected
at all. If it shocld ultimately reverse
iaelf, still no taxes wocld have bees
collected until after protracted delay.
