Looking oer the meadows I could seethe rising moon

Shining white down on dear Old

Two long years of wandering amongthe haunts ofmen

Two long years 7 Ive seen a lot ofthis old worM since then j

But tonight Id surely likeMo wanderbackagain

Back into the Blue Grass of Ken-tucky

Sweetest times are the old times likethose we used to know

Sweetest scenes and sweetestdreams are those of long ago

Down there in the Blue Grass wherethe meadow daisies grow

Back at home in fair dear OldKentucky

Still her spell is on me and her mu ¬

though it be through tearsStill my heart goes back to her

across the lapse of yearsBack into the scenes of Old Ken ¬

Read the names of soldiers and ofstatesmen that were cut

On the shaft of fame by Old Ken ¬

clined to take and also for the saleof the funked tobacco which wasmentioned in the daily papers recent-ly

The purchase of Collins Broamounted tp about 1800 hogsheadswhich will probablyfall on the otherindependents who were partners inthe original purchase but it may bethat the committee will decide to sellthis amount again to the highest

bidderThesale of the funked tobacco

ALDRICH FAVORS STRICTEST

ELCONOMY IN GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

Suggests Method Of Making Both Ends Meet Is Apiist Special TaraSays United States Might Reduce Expenditures

c

Washington March 24That a determined effort will be made to re-duce public expenditures to such anextent that governmental needs maybe met by revenues derived from duties on imports and without resortingto anyof the special taxation schemesthat have been suggested in connec ¬

tion with tariff revision is indicatedby a remark made by Senator Aldrich chairman of the senate com-

mittee¬

on financeDuring the recess of the committee

Mrs Aldrich was asked to give hisopinion of the plan erroneously ac ¬

credited to President Taft to place atax on dividends declared by corpora ¬

tions Mr Aldrich replied that hehad not given thought to it and add ¬

ed that he would not concern himselfwith any of the various plans to raiserevenues Dy special taxes until itcould be ascertained how much reve ¬

nue could te produced by levying du¬

ties on imports and whether the run ¬

ning operations of the governmentcould not be decreased so as to makespecial taxes unnecessary

Great significance is attached tothe remark made by Mr Aldrich ItIs asserted upon what is thought tobe accurate information that a major ¬

ity of the members of the financtcommittee regard with disfavor theproposed inheritance tax feature theproposed income tax levies upon div¬

idends of corporations tax on coffeeand practically all forms of stamp

taxesIt recognized that in the form inwhich the Payne bill was reported tothe house from the ways and meanscommittee sufficient revenues to paythe running expenses of the govern-ment

¬

at least upon the present basisof annual appropriations can not becollected from duties on Importsalone The inference drawn from MrAldrichs expression therefore isthat the revision of the tariff mustcurtail the tendency to expand annualappropriations at each succeedingsession of congress

No credence is given at the capitalto the story that President Taft andSenator Aldrich have disagreed overany of the features of the tariff billIt is true that Mr Taft has discussedseveral of the special taxation fea¬

tures that have been discussed pub ¬

licly by tariff experts in congress butit is generally believed that the pres ¬

ident will welcome any plan to avoidimposing these taxes if they can beavoided without raising the existingduties on the necessities of life andby lowering the duties on some artcles that hebelieves are now too high

DISCUSSES INHERITANCE TAX

Representative Payne Says It Is Bet¬

ter Than Income TaxWashington March 24 Following

an elaborate explanation of the ad¬

ministrative features of the Paynetariff bill Mr Payne discussed theinheritance tax proposed We want¬

ed some more revenue about 20

000000 more he said We wantedto make ends meet under tale billand therefore we provided for an in ¬

heritance tax He stated that aproposition for an income tax was be¬

fore the committee but there werestrong doubts about the constitution ¬

ality of such a taxHe was interrupted by Mr Clark

Mo with an inquiry If it was nottrue that President Taft had intimat¬

ed that an Income tax could be drawnthat the supreme court as now consti ¬

tuted would declare constitutional MrPayne replied that he did not believePresident Taft ever made such an as ¬

sertionThatPresident Taft did make such

a suggestion was the contention ofMr James Ky In 1907 at Colum ¬

bus 0 he said Mr Taft incorporatedthat proposition in a speech whichwas taken down stenographically andprinted in the newspapers

Mr Payne while not doubting MrJames statement said he did notknow whether Mr Taft took thatview or not I dont think how ¬

ever he said that there is any au ¬

thority for such a lawBoth Mr James and Mr Clark

pointed to the fact that certain por ¬

tions of the income tax provision ofthe Wilson bill which were not heldto be unconstitutional could be en ¬

forced and inquired why somethingwas not done to enforce that law

Mr Paynes response was that itwas not believed an income tax lawwas constitutional But even so hesaid he would prefer an inheritancetax because an income tax occa ¬

sioned perjury and fraud unendingWith this> discussion Mr Payne
