* 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.”

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.”

Money In weeds? To be sure. 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

The farmer’s life has cares and joy«.
His work is long and hard and rough;
He slaves from dawn till after dark.
To raise and grow and own enough,
But there’s a bright side to his life,
His sorrows he can always drown
When, with his team, he’s hired to haul
A busted auto back to towu.
