Income Tnx Amendment
The proposed income tax nmcud
ment to tho Fcdoral cohstltution was
ordered to Ho ln both houses. Vriends
of the measure seem to thlnk' the
longer a vote on tho proposal ls de
layed tho better wlll bo thelr chances
of favorable actlon, and some of
tboso who askcd that tho bih be or
derod to lle sald many members were
not yet ready to act on the inatter.
Somo grange petltlons wero pree
ented ln favor of It and others are
expected to come ln, as tho Statc
Grange has gone on record aa favor
ing the amendment.
The commlttee on flnal adjourn-
ment reported to the two houso that
the condition of buslness ls such that
they were unable to SHggest a day
for flnal adjournmcnt and asked for
more tlme. They wlll probabiy re-
port further tomorrow. Tho trouble
ls as one mcmber confessed, that the
members have not the couraga of
thelr convlctlons.
Welghts and Measures.
When the welghts and measures
blll come back to tho Houso Wed
nesday afternoon there were a nnm
ber of amendments attached, some
of tliom lmportant and somo of
slight consequence. Tho ono debated
by the House restores the origlnal
House provlslon that . the Governor
ahall appolnt the commissloner of
welghts and meaeures. So many
Democrats oppoaed adoption of th
Senate proposals of amen'Jment that
it looked at flret as If there was a
party movement against tho Gover
not, but thls seems not to bo the
case.
There has developed on the part
of some' members, as least, a feel
lng against permlttlng tho Senate to
dlctate to the House, and a further
reason for objecting to the proposed
change was that some members be
lloved a Rutland man was a candl
date fbr the appolntmcnt and would
Ue glven the place lf the Governor
should b glven tho power of ap
polntmont. It Is ln some respecte
unfortunate that thls matter should
havo come up with the trusteo pro
coss matter stlll unsettled. Some
House members show a dlsposltlon
to bo jealous of tho privileges and
rlghts of tho body to whlch they be

creased approprlatlon.
Mr. Battell of Middlebury believed
tho sum carrled by tho blll was too
great. He thought wo were going too

stand tho subject of good roads. He
moved to amend by maklng the ap
propriatlon $100,000.
Tho Chair announced that tho

as tho blll as amcndcd approprlated
certain sums at different dates. Mr.
Plttredge of Leicester, however,
camo to his rescuo wlth an amend
ment whlch met tho requirements and
which Mr. Battell presented. Mr.
Fletcher of Cavendish oppoaed the

thls blll was slmply carrving out our

Mr. Schofleld of Richford oppcscd
