PO R TLAN D , OREGON * Washington, June 17. — President Taft yesterday sent the following mes­ sage to congress: “ To the Senate and House of Reprt,- seratives— It is the constitutional duty of the president, from time to time, to present to the consideration of congress such measures as he shall judge neces­ sary and expedient. “ In my inaugural address, immedi­ ately preceding this present extraordi­ nary session of congress, I invited at­ tention to the necessity for a revision of the tariff at this session, and stated the principles upon which I thought the revision should be effected. I re­ ferred to the then rapidly increasing deficit, and pointed out the obligation on the part of the framers of the tariff bill to arrange duties so as to secure an adequate income, and suggested that if it was not possible to do so by import duties, new kinds o f taxation must be adopted, and among them I recommend­ ed a graduated inheritance tax as cor­ rect in principle and as certain and easy of collection. “ The house of representatives has adopted the suggestion and has pro­ vided in the bill it passed for the col­ lection of such a tax. In the senate, the action of its finance committee and the course of the debate indicate that it may not agree to this provision, and it is now proposed to make up the deficit by the imposition o f a general income tax, in form and substance al­ most exactly the same character as that which, in the case of Pollock vs. Farm­ ers’ Loan & Trust company, 157 U. S. 429, was held by the Supreme court to be a direct tax, and therefore not with­ in the power of the Federal govern­ ment to impose unless apportioned among the states according to popu­ lation. “ This new proposal, which I did not discuss in my inaugural address or my message at the opening o f the present session, makes it appropriate for me to submit to congress certain additional recommendations. “ The decision of the Supreme court in the income tax cases deprives the national government o f a power which, by reason of previous decisions of the court, it was generaly supposed the government had. It is undoubteedly a power the national government ought to have. It might be indispensable to the nation’s life in great crises. “ Although I have not considered a constitutional amendment as necessary to the exercise of certain phases of this power, a mature consideration has satisfied me that an amendment is the only proper course for its establishment to its full extent. I therefore.recom­ mend to the congress that both houses, by a two-thirds vote, shall propose an amendment to the constitution confer­ ring the power to levy an income tax upon the national government without apportionment among the states in pro­ portion to population. “ This course is much to be preferred to the one proposed, o f re-er.acting a law once judicially declared to be un­ constitutional. For congress to assume that the court will reverse itself and to enact legislation on such assumption will not strengthen popular confidence in the stability of the judicial construc­ tion of the constitution. It is much wiser policy to accept the constitution and remedy the defect in due and regu­ lar course. “ 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, but by putting on the statute book a law already there and never repealed will simply be suggesting to the execu­ tive officers o f the government their possible duty to invoke litigation. “ If the court should maintain its former view, no tax would be collected at all. If it should ultimately reverse itself, still no taxes would have been collected until after protracted delay. “ It is said the difficulty and delay in securing the approval o f thr»e-fourths of the states will destroy all chance of adopting the amendment. Of course, Bonilla May Lead Revolt. New.Orleans, June 17.— Dispatches received by local business houses say that La Ceiba and the Northern coast provinces of Honduras are in open re­ volt and have sent emissaries to New Orleans to persuade Manuel Bonilla to return and take possession of the gov­ ernment. Davillas has applied to the United States, and the United States gunboat Paducah is patrolling Ceiba harbor to prevent sanguinary out­ breaks. General Bonilla is in New Orleans now. He denies that there is anything significant in his departure. Strike in Plate Trade. Pittsburg, June 17.— More than 10,- 000 skilled workmen, members o f the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, employed by the American Sheet and Tin Plate com­ pany, will quit work June 30, at which time the open shop order of the com­ pany becomes effective. Many un­ skilled workmen will also be affected. The decision to take this action fol­ lowed a special convention held here. In the Pittsburg district a majority of the mills o f American Sheet and Tin Plate company are non-union. Illinois Primary Law Invalid. Springfield, III., June 17.—The Su­ preme crurt o f Illinois today declared unconstitutional the state primary law, and as a result the state is without a legal method of nominating candidates for office. It is thought a special ses­ sion of the legislature will be called to enact a new law. The decision of the Supreme court is the result of an at­ tack made upon the primary law by candidates defeated in the state pri* manes last summer. no one can speak with certainty upon this point, but I have become convinced that a great majority of the people of this country are in favor of vesting the national government with power to levy an income tax. “ Second, the decision in the Pollock case left power in the national govern­ ment to levy at. excise tax which ac­ complishes the same purpose as u cor­ poration income tux, and is free from certain objections urged to the propos­ ed income tax measure. “ I therefore recommend an amend ment to the tariff bill imposing upon all corporations and joint stock com­ panies for profit, except national banks, otherwise taxed, savings banks and building and loan societies, an income tax measured by 2 per cent of tho net income o f such corporations. This is an excise tax upon the privilege of do­ ing business as an artificial entity and of freedom from a general partnership liability enjoyed by those who own the stock. “ 1 am informed that a 2 percent tax of this character would bring into the treasury of the United States not less that $25,000,000. “ The decision of the Supreme court in the case of the Spreckles Sugar Re­ fining company against McClain seems clearly to establish the fact that such a tax as this is an excise tax upon priv­ ilege, and not'a direct tax on property, and is within the Federal power with­ out apportionment according to popu­ lation. “ The tax on net income is preferable to one proportionate to a percentage of the gross receipts, because it is a tax upon success and not failure. It im­ poses a burden at the source of the in­ come at a time when the employer is well able to pay and when collection is easy. “ Another merit of this tax is the Federal supervision which must be ex­ ercised in order to make the law effect­ ive over the annual accounts and busi­ ness tiausactions of all corporations. While the faculty of assuming a cor­ porate form has been o f the utmost utility in the business world, it is also true that substantially all of the abuses and all o f the evils which have aroused the public to the necessity of reform will be made possible by the use of this very faculty. “ If now, by a perfectly legitimate and effective system of taxation, we are incidentally able to possess the government and the stockholders and the public of the knowledge of the real business transactions and the gains and profits of every corporation in the country, we have made a long step to­ ward that supervisory control of cor­ porations whicn may prevent a further abuse of power. “ I recommend then, first, the adop­ tion of a joint resolution by two-thirds o f both houses, proposing to the states an amendment to the constitution granting to the Federal government the right to levy and collect an income tax, without apportionment among the states, according to population; and second, the enactment as part of the pending revenue measure, either as a substitute for or an addition to, the in­ heritance tax, of an excise tax upon all corporations, measured by 2 per cent of their net income.” Roosevelt's story of Africa will noi be complete without Its chapter on smells.” PROFIT IN OROWINQ WEEDS. A strike for higher wages or shorter hours or more and better food is com­ prehensible, but one has to go to Mexi­ co, writes C. M. Flandrau, in "Viva, Mexico!" for a strike that Involves nei­ ther a question of material advantage uor of abstract principle. One after­ noon. during the busiest season of the year on a coffee-ranch, all the coffee- pickers, with the exception of one fam­ ily, suddenly struck. When asked what the trouble was. the spokesman, In a florid and pompous address, declared that they were “all brothers, and must pick together, or not at all.’’ It came out during the Interview that the father of the family who had not struck had received permission for himself, his wife and six small chll dren to pick In a block of coffee by themselves, and to this the others had been Induced to object. Why they objected they could not say, because they did not know. It was explained to them that the man had wished his family to work apart for the sole and sensible reason that, first, he and his wife could take bet ter care of the children when they were not scattered among the crowd; and secondly, that as the trees of the particular block he had asked to be allowed to pick In were younger and smaller than the others, the children had less difficulty In reaching the branches. He had not only derived no financial advantage from the change, he was voluntarily making some sacrifice by going to pick where the coffee, owing to the youth of the trees, was less abundant. "Don't you see that this Is the truth and all there la to It?" the strikers were asked. "Yes.” “ And now that It has been explain­ ed, won't you go back to work?” "No.” "But why not?” "Because.” "Because what?” "Because we must all pick togeth er.” ALM A-TADEM A’S COMMISSION.

The national department of agriculture has been for many years telling the farmers of the large money value go­ ing to waste each year In this coun­ try in the shape of pernicious weeds, and has been Issuing bulletins with directions for collecting, curing and selling'weeds. A quarter of a century ago Dr. George B. Lorlug, the commis­ sioner of agriculture, called attention to the fact that In Germany many of the commonest and most pernicious weeds that the American farmer has to contend with were successfully and profitably cultivated, says the Kansas City Star. Burdock, dandelion, witch- grass, foxglove, mullein, horehound, Jtmpson, mustard and water hemlock are among our commonest weeds and grow in great profusion almost every­ where in the United States. Ordinar­ ily they are regarded merely as trou­ blesome weeds. The trouble, of course, Is In the lazy habit of attempting to grow weeds and cultivated crops on the same land at the same time. So It often happens that the wltchgrass between the potato rows Is more val­ uable than the tubers in the hills. When you raise weeds you must make a business of It. Land that will raise nothing else will raise weeds. The jimpson grows In rank profusion about the feed lot, the front yard Is yellow with dandelion flowers aud the flowers of the mullein bedeck the pastures. The burdock grows In the roadside fence corners, and the waste lot pro­ duces an abundance of wltchgrass and comfrey, yet a majority of the drug weeds used In medicine In this coun­ try are still Imported, and paid for at a high rate. Without counting wormwood, tansy or rhubarb, all of which are weeds in favored places, and without Including catnip or pennyroyal or any of the mints, the American people are paying out more than $300,000 a year In hard- earned money for Imported weeds, which are growing wild In nearly ev­ ery part of the country. The Imports for the year 1907-1908 were as fol- lows: Total Pounds. I’ricr. value.

The average farmer cannot bring himself to regard as other than a heresy the declaration that a weed Is Blmply a useful plant out of place. The prices paid by big jobbing drug houses for leaves, flowers or roots of the commoner weeds which afflict the farmer with their presence when he lets them get out of place are as follows: Dandelion roots, dried; jimpson weed, leaves and seeds; pol- Bon hemlock, freshly plucked and dried flowers and leaves, dried and cleaned- seed of black and white mus­ tard, 5 cents a pound; burdock root, sliced and dried, 7 cents a pound; dried leaves and blossoms of hore­ hound and wild foxglove, 6 to 7 cents a pound; dried blossoms of the tall pasture mullein, 60 cents a pound, If sealed In tight jars. In addition to the above standard drugs the dried leaves of pokeweed and trllllum, gold­ thread and jack-ln-the-pulptt, are mar­ keted, as well as the leaves and flow­ ers of tansy, lobelia, boneset, catnip and a dozen other very common plants, all of which are In demand at the market prices. "In 1864,” says the well-known ar tlst, Alma-Tadema, In the Strand, "I received a visit from the English pic ture dealer, Gambart—11 prlnclpe Gam- bartl, as they used to call him In Italy. He was the picture dealer par excel lence of this day and was naturally held In great respect by artists. 1 re member him on that first visit to me, standing before my easel, on which 1 had posed my ‘Coming Out of Church,’ and Instantly exclaiming: “ ‘Did you paint that picture for the Vanderdonkts?’ “ I assured him of the fact.
