OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JANUARY INCOME TAX AMENDMEET Provisions of hw Senator Brown Seeks to Enact. REACHES NEW PHASE OF TAXING States Asked to Ratify the Action of Congrenn and Subscribe to Prop- osftion to a Referemdum Vote. Senator Norrls Brown of Nebraska, dis- cusses in the Outlook the proposed six- teenth amendment to the federal consti. tution now before the states for action, arguing for the wisdom of giving congross | power to levy an income tax, should con- gress in the future decide that such a tax is necesary. Without mentioning names the senpfor decries the states' rights issue raised by Governor Hughes of New York Senator Brown says, in part: For, forty-one years the constitution as it now reads has stood with no sustained effort en the part of congress or the people to further amend ft. But the last session of congress a' joint resolution was introdueced and passed, receiving every vote in the United States senato and all but fourteen votes in the house of repr ntatives, proposing the sixteenth amend- ment. It reads “Congress shall have the power to lay and collect M on ineomes from what- ever source drived, without apportionment among the several states and without re- rd to any census or enumerdffon.” The question presented ls, showld this amendment be ratified by the states? 1 held the affirmative of the proposition My conviction 18 unaiterable that the safety of the nation may depend on the power conferred by this amendment. Its ratifica- tion in therefore imperative In the first place, the lssue does not raise & question of party politics, On the record, (he two great political parties of the country stand In favor of the amend- ment. One indorsed It in Its last national platform, and both indorsed it by voting Needed Source of Revenue, This amendment should receive the sup- port of every man who belleves s an economic policy that the incomes of the country should at all times bear & share of the burdens of government. It should also have the support of those who do not belleve In that economie polley in times of peace because other forms of taxation fall in tunes of war. No patriatic citisen can deny his country in distress this squrce of revenue even if he would do sa In times of peace and quiet. As the cqustitution reads today under the last interpretation of the supreme court, our government i§ | without power to tax incomes divectly, n0 matter what the need or how great the necessity. Section 8 of article 1 provides tbat con- gress shall have the-peiwer to lay and, col- lect taxes, duties, imposts and excises. This provision of section § is wodified by an- other provision of section 9 of the samne article, which reads: “No capitation or other-direct tax shall be laid unless in proportion te the census or enumeration herelnafter divected to be taken." From these provisions it is clear that the framers of the constitution intended that the revenues with which to run the government should be raised by custom dutles, excises and imposts, and mot by direct taxation. For it is obvious to the casual student that to levy direct taxes on either lands or incomes in proportion to the population of the states would work such Inequality and gross injustice as to render the tax Intolerable and, as Supreme Justice Brown sald, “impossible. During all the years of the country's history no continued effort has been made to lay and collect taxes on any kind of property, real or personal, apportioned ac- cording to population. However, at aif- ferent times in our history congress has undertaken to tax incomes. Congress acted on the theory that a tax on Incomes was not a direct tax, and therefore need not be laid with regard to apportionment among the states according to population as provided in section 9. © From the beginning every law seeking to lay an Income tax has been assailed in the courts. Beginning with the Hylon case in 1789, reported In 3 Dallas, 171, and ending with the Springer case in 1880, reported in 102 U. 8., 58, the supreme court contin- uously and consistently beld such a law unconstitutional. The opinion of the court In these cases rested on the proposition that a tax on incomes was not a djrect tax, &and was therefore not inhibited by the constitution. It-will be recalled that the Springer case involved the valldity of an act of congress passed during the re- bellion. The union was broken In credit and the government at Washington was selling its bonds at a heavy dlscount. The natlonal currency had depreclated and the unfon was in urgent need of money with which to provide the/unfon forces with maintenance and equipment. The life of the union was at stake. Congress had exhausted every resource except a tax on incomes, It was in obe- Qience to the cry of the country's distress that Lincoln asked congress to furnish the necessary funds by laying a tax on in-| comes, The law was passed; millions of dollurs were collected under It at & time when the government vitally needed the money. Springer assalled the constitu- | tionality of the law. After full argument | | and mature considoration, the court sus- | stained the law, and Springer's homestead | was sold by the marshal for the collection |of the tax. In so deelding the court fol- lowed the decision in the Hylfon case, which involved the same principle S0 we find that the uniform and unin. terrupted interpretation of the constitution by the court has sustained the power of congress (o lay and collect taxes on in-| comes for nearly a century, But in 156§ the supreme court was called upon to pass for the third time on the same, question, The income tax law of 186 had been re- pealed and a new statute restoring the tax had been enacted in 1894 A spit wa | brought to determine the validity of the | 189 statute on the subject, It is known s the Pollogk case, and Is reported in 157 U 8., 4. { Previous Decisions Reversed. This sult involved the identical princls ple decided In the Hylton and Springer cases. It was argued with marked ability by distinguished lawyers on Itd first sub- | migsion to the court, ‘and again at great length on the rehearing. The attorney | general of the United States, Richard | Oley of Massachusetts, appeared With other great lawyers in behalf of the con- stitutiong] power of congress to tax In- comes. The decisian of the court, how- ever, In effect reversed the holding in the Hylton and Springer cases and held the law unconstitutional. The court pat the versal on the ground that a tax on in- comes was & direct tax, and unless appor- tioned according to population could not be collected. It is idle to discuss whether the last de- cislon of the supreme court on this ques- tion was right or wrong. Such a discussion would avall nothing, because, right or wrong, the docision of the supreme pourt, rt Decisions. When you are about to open a bank account, strength, reliabilit) of take out an fnsurance policy, and business integrity of the concern with whigh you contemplate dealing, don’t you? you investigate the security, Your deciglon is based largely upon whether or not the conoern is to be relied. upon; whether you are convinced of the conservatism, business and moral staanding of the people who compose it, fsn't it? Then is it not a wise thing to apply this same method to a concern dealing in lands, if you are a prospective investor? For the handling of lands I have just formed a syndicate which has never been excelled in the matter of strength, the highest moral and business charac rellability, general repute and far-reaching effect It is to be broader und better in ita scope and plan than any ever before conceived, will be offered that will not bear the closest scrutiny, and ha ter. No proposition whatever the unqualified endorsement of experts and men of It is composed of bankers, capitalists, professional men and others of force, brains, influence and unquestioned integrit§. It will provide for a live resident representative in something more than forty cities in the United States, whe will have more than a salaried or commission interest in the syndicate. &5 THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES The syndicate now owns and controls some of the most desirable lands obtainable anywhere, and the firet plece of property it will offer to the investng public will be a comparatively small tract of Florida land—in the Kverglades—a tract of land as rich as anything in the world; in an abselutely healthy and never excessively warm section; already drained and ready for the plow NOW; where crops grow all the year 'round. On this page next Sunday will be a complete announcement, giving the name of the syndicate and a Mst of the cities in whieh offices are being established, and also what Ex-Governor of the Everglades, who is actively and exclusively interested in the syndicate, and others, have to say regarding “The Choice of the Everglades'—the spot which is ready NOW.

It caunol be ignored elibe or congress. In this case the judgment of the court was that congress had no power (o twx incomes. Surely congress would not be Justified in passing another law of the same character and import in the face of that judgment, at least not without at the same time making ap effort to amend the constitution so0 a8 to confer on congress such power. Aid if It did o, the people would have a right to question its good faith, Who contends that congress should ever do what the supreme court of the United States holds it cannot do? The strength of our form of government lles in the plan of its distribution of powers, leglslative, executive and judicial—the three co-ordinate branches of government—each supreme in its field. Under this plan the power. of the judiciary s supreme in de- termining the constitutionality of a law. Under this plan the legislative branch is supreme in determining what laws shall be enacted in the first instance; but when enacted, it is wholly and exclusively within the power of the judiclary to interpret and construe them; to susialn or set them aside, if in the judgment of the court they contravene ahy of the provisions of the constitution, The court having been clothed by the people with authority under the constitu- tion to say what congress can or cannot do, and having spoken on the subject, the people are driven to amend the constitu- tion, the only remedy they have. Demand of the Peo) The people demanded the ratification of the amendment, in the first place, because they insist that thelr government shall have all the rights, powers and preroga- tives as a government that are enjoyed by every other soverign nation. The power of taxation—a power exercised by every full-grown government—is a sover- elgn attribute. 1t the right to tax incomes is denied, the right of taxation is lmpaired, No nation could exist for any length of time if the power of taxtion is taken en- tirely away. If it Is partly taken away its life is jeopardized that far. The pur pose of this amendment is to restore be- yond dispute that power. This republic should be a nation shorn of no attribute nor prerogative incident to natlonal sov- erelgnty. There Is another reason why the amend- ment should be ratified. No man can tell how soon this country may be in need of the revenue which could be obtained only by & tax on incomes. We have learned from experience that at one time at least in this country the nation depended on an income tax for its life. While today there may be no such emergency, we have no assurance that it may not again arise Should it ever come, who cares to be re sponsible for withholding a power from | the government which may be necessary for its existence? * * * Effect on States. The only point so far made against the amendments Is that It might, in some mys- terious way, weaken the states. Just how it could impair the strength of any state is not made clear by those who raise this objection. If it is thought that the fed- eral government might tax (he state out of its_existence, the answer g it did not have that effect or even tendency when incomes were taxed The last effective income tax law in this country was in forco during the sixties. It had the op- posite effect then, for of the states In existence. bring & few of them back Into the union The federal government could not tax the states out of existence without ending its own; for without the states to support it, there is no union to be supported. To destroy the state is to destroy the republic. The point s not well taken. The fear s wholly groundless. The rights of states as they exist today will not be im- paired, nor will & single state in the union suffer, by reasor’of the amendment. But with the amendment ratified, they Wwliil by the people | continue to grow righer and stronger, en- joying that security and independence in- ident to thelr membership in & union clothpd with eonstitutional powers to main- tain a forewnost position among the world's greatest nations. e ey e A Bachelo: Charity appeals to taxes “peopi are awful bold liars to tell th they have been visiting what & good tme they had.

NEW NOTIONS IN EMBROIDERY Bleached and nbleached Linens from Austria—Bed Linen More Decorative — Fine Table Linens of the Orient. NEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Housekeeping linens, the finer grades especlally, lure many thousands of dollars out of the pockets of New York women and women from other citles during the January sales, which, 80 far as certaln linen shops are concerned, <an't be duplicated elsewhere Mn this country. The proprietors of these shops pride themselves on setting the fashions in linens by offering the latest Kuropean novelties. As @ result, they say, women who do not keep house or expect to keep house, who live In hotels and In boarding houses and fiit about the country a good deal, buy linens as eagerly as housckeepers. Visitors/trom other cities surrender quickly to thefr charm. \It is to these visitors, in fact, that retallers look for a big pro- portion of the profits of the January sales, A western woman told a salesman in a Fifth avenue linen store the other day that she was hopelessly smashing the Tenth Comunandment, besides spending far more money than she ought to spend for luncheon and tea table fancy linen, adding as an excuse that nothing approaching them could be had for love or money In | her home town. The salesman, grown old in the business, answered that probably none of the novelties she had been looking at could be duplicated in this country out- ide of New York, and that in Burope one would have to travel over a good deal of ground to find all the varletied grouped in this one store. “For example," said he, ‘these sets are | new even In New York, coming to us direct |trom Russta.” The sets referred to were intended for the lunch table to take the place of a table cloth, and’ consisted of & circular center plece about thirty-six inches in dlameter, one dozen place doylies about twelve Inches in diameter, and one dosen doylles seven inches or so in dlameter. There were no napkins, The material was linen, very heavy and coarse, but very closely woven, | & cross between gray and ecru In tint, sug- {gesting the ieast bleached of linens. Large scallops edged in turn with several lmall scallops, all worked with a quarter- inch’ deep buttonhole stitch which, bordered centerplece and doylies was the only deco- ration. The sets came embroidered in four different colors, deep blue, grass green, golden brown, pure white, the last against the gray linen making a decided contrast. The western woman bought & green bor- dered set because her table china was mostly green and gold | Contrasted with elaborate lace luncheon | sets, these Russian sets seem seyere in their plainness. At the same time they are undeniably stylish and they are not expensive. The napkins recommended Lo g0 with these sets are of perfectly plain, fine, white linen edged with tiny scallops. Lunch cloths, with napkins to match, of Austrian manufacture are & novelty which llustrates the revival of the use of colors even among finer grades of fancy table lnens. Bleached and unbleached linens are | used in these sets. The table cloth ts from {two to two and a half yards square, the napkine about eighteen inches square and with few exceptions the colors and designs are ornate. As to designs, there s a tle in popularity. it is sald, between those scattered over the cloth and those in which the colors are seen only in a twelve-inch border placed a few inches from the edge. In one of the latter the unbleached linen, woven in a conventional rose pattern, is bordered with & set design fn vivid pink tullps, the blos- soms placed In upright groups about seven inches apart, stems toward the edge of the | cloth and dashes of pink appearing between the groups. The napkins have the san | border. / Equally vivid pink is used in & narrow {band or ribbon design, which trims an- other cloth about ten inches from the edge, | separating a wection/of the linen woven in | narrow cross stripes from the center of the | cloth, woven in arabesque designs. Colored designs in delft blue are among the best, one pattern forming & mine-inch border, representing oval wreaths of long leaves, the wreath being open at one end | and at the other and tied with narrow fibbon. There is & space of several inches Detween the wreaths and this is decorated with single small leaves in coldr. A leat destgn is woven into the rest of the cloth, which is of bleached linen. The same shade of blue is used in large | brotdered paftern the border plain, and less ornamentai va- rieties have borders consisting of oblongs, stripes or ovals of varying sizes, com- bined In seven or qight or ten-inch wide designs in blue, and occasionally in red. Red ia not seen at all in the more elab- orate borders or all over colored designs o which a peculiarly vivid pink and a deep blue have the lead. It Is noticed that some of the newer de- ‘wigns in centerpleces of fine white linen which combine embroldery and filet and cluny lace are distinguished by & small leaf or flower iu colors embroidered here and there irregularly In pale pink and also in the vivid shade of pink previously men- tioned and in a vale shade of delft biue. Blue seems to lead. The effect is as though a flower or two had been dropped on the linen. Bulgarian teatable covers are worked ia elaborate sampler stitch done in red, rose, blue, green, only the center of the cloth being plain. One variety of Bulgarian tea~ cloth although heavy and substantial is considered among the most styliéh of the newer importations. In this the lnen, which is not pure white, is embroldered with white silk in small floral designs al- ternating with small squares of openwork eyelots. A complete contrast to these heavier ex- amples are centerpleces, dollies and lunch napkins of Chinest linen elaborately hand embroidered. These are galning a wide vogue among women who like % have several varletles of linens to exhibit on thelr lunch and tea tables. Fine sheer, almost silky in effect, the Chivese linen seems all the daintler in con- trast with the dragons and convention- alized follage designs wrought in the close raised stitch peculiar to orfental em- broide:y which are used for ornamenta- tion. On these lace s not used at all, the edges being finished with a scallop. Ex- ceptions have small bits of drawn work in- serted here and there fine as the finest net because of the fineness of the linen, and describing minute latticework patterns. Japanese embrolderies, of which many new deslgns are now seen, are different. These products are similar in some re- spects to Chinese embroldery, but the newest designy show a good deal of drawn work in very open elaborate patterns com- bined with the embroidered design, and the linen used s more substantial than the Chinese linens. Buyers with critical eves notice new de- slgns in the Austrian embroidered center- pleces, dollies, sheets, plllow cases and other things. These combine embroldery and segments of openwork irregular in de‘ slgn which are a duplicate of filet lace minus a pattern. In other words, the open- work Is a heavy square mesh net such as Is used for the foundation of filet lace and firm enough to be used on bed linen, in conjunction with hand embroiéery, to form a three or four inch wide band placed in- side the hem of the sheet or pillow case, The effect of this net is very beautiful, BiVIng a touch of dalntiness to teacloths and doylies not to be had from patterne lace, and its use on bed linen indicates that the latter is more ornate than formerly in all grades. Several linen houses now carry | | & full line of embroldered cotton sheets and plliow cases to meet the demands of ous- tomers who don't Ifke lnens in winter. A few years ago embroidered cottons of this order were hard o find anywhere, & re- taller says. Baby Irish lace of fine quality fs a fea- ture just now of some of the higher prided table pleces. Doylies and centerpleces of the best Irish linen have,a border from three to six Inches wide ‘on the former, from six to ten inches wide on the latter, of a quality of Irish lace at one thne used only for costly lingerle and gowns. In these pleces a narrow vine of fine embroi- dery is placed above the lace, Madeira embroidery counterpanes are among the bed fixtures which come under the head of novelties and whieh are oust- Ing lace counterpanes from first place wita liausekeepers who can afford to have mors than one set at & tlme.
