If we are all
to wait till capital censes to be

shut up and go home.
The only attacks we have now Is
an attack of bugaboos.
The Courts
have not been suddenly deprived of
knowledge of law, nor the Adminis¬
tration of patriotism, nor Congress of

may, and doubtless will, take some
time to adjust legislation to meet the
requirements of changing conditions,
but that Is no reason why business
men should get scared and sit like
bumps on a log till all questions are
finally and definitely settled. If the
heads of big concerns show the white
feather the thousands of business
men engaged in lesser affairs will be
disheartened naturally, and a period
of common apathy will set In without
rhyme or reason. Such a policy is
not only nonsensical but wrong.
At
least that is my opinion, and our com¬
panies are going to act accordingly.
We are doing more business today
than ever before, and the apparent
requirements for the Immediate fu¬

we are not going to be swerved from
our original determination to provide

Audicnc<* Hears Mr. Bailey's
Argument in Fuvor of a Federal In

Adoption of the Constitutional
Amcmdnhcnt Prepared by Him.

Large

Columbia, Feb. 14..There was a
great audience in the State House to¬
night to hear the Hon. Joseph W.
Bailey, of H ocas. The floor and the
galleries were crowded, and everyone
was on the qui vive to hear the dis¬
tinguished Texan. By resolution of
the General Assembly Senator Bailey
had been invited to address the Leg¬
islature on tbei Income tax, because
he has been a pronounced advocate
of the income tax.
Senator Bailey expressed his pleas¬
ure in being here, and his gratifica¬
tion at the invitation. He set right in
to discuss the question and starting
with the tariff explained that something had to be done to lift the bur¬
den of taxation from the poor man,
and tho lnclme tax was the only way
the burden can be lifted. It is simply
a question of lifting the burden from
the poor, and making those able to
pay to do so. The question is wheth¬
er the money needed should be raised
by a protective tariff or by an income
tax. He did not favor taxing all
things aliki". If he could do so he
would tax silk. He would exempt cal¬
ico, because those who use calico are
not able to buy better than calico. He
would tax gilk because those who use
silk are better able to pay a tax. He
would make the tax highest in those
articles that indicate ability to spend

abundantly.
HVi addressed his auditors as his
countrymen. He compared the mil¬
lionaire vho spends his money abroad
and argued that such a millionaire
did not spend a cent towards the Fed¬
eral government. The poor mechanic
who buys a plug of tobacco contrib¬
utes more to the government than
many of these millionaires who marry
abroad and pay no taxes to the gov¬
ernment.

no property to demand and protect.
Senator Bailey went fully Into the
comparative duty on the rich and the
poor, and he said he was really sur¬
prised that the rich did not offer to
pay thfs tax. He said he despised the
demagogue, the demagogues never
try to teach their children not to try
to prosper. The only man worse than
the demagogue was the tax dodger.
He believed it and trusted the man
who behaved hlms?lf whether rich
or poor. He paid a hi^h tribute to the
Texans who traced their linkage to
the Palmetto State.
Speaking to Democrats he said if
South Carolina w<~re to reject this
amendment It would be forever killed,
and the Democratic party would be
held responsible. The Demorcrats
will come to make a tariff and he said
that was because the Democrats fell
out among themselves. The country
Is not Republican, but it Is simply
afraid of Democrats. They know the
Reupbllcans are rascals and think we
are fools. When we come to make
the tariff bill unless you have this
income tax to raise a hundred mil¬
lion revenue you cannot make any
substantlonal reduction In the tariff,
and that Is waht the Democratls want
to do.
He made an extended argument to
show that the tariff cannot be taken
off without providing some other
nvoans of revenue with which to run
the Government. He favored an in¬

heritance tax.
The main burden of Mr. Bailey's
address was that if the burden of the
tariff is to be lifted It can only be by
an income tax. There is no hope of

reducing exepnses materially and
the income tax must come.
If the
tariff outrage is to be lifted it must
be by the income tax. Mr. Bailey said
whatever else happens to the amend¬
ment he hoped South Carolina would
not be first to strike It a blow. Sena¬
tor spoke eloquently for an hour and
three-quarters and upon the com¬
pletion of the address on motion of
Mr. M. X* Smith the joint Assembly
extended its cordial thanks to Sena¬
tor Bailey for his fine address.

He them pounded William Waldorf
Astor, and said Astor's property is in
New York. He left his money here
to work for him, and he spends his
earnings abroad. He would not take
thh property, but he would ma!:c him
pay taxes on his million dollar In¬
come for the government. The former
pays the tax on nothing. He did not
attack men because they disagreed
with him. He does not believe in
abusing brother Democrats who dif¬
fer with him.
The first objection is that it in¬
creases the power of the Federal Gov¬
ernment. If that be truo> it would be
serious. The Federal Government
now possesses ampin power to tax in¬
comes. The Supreme Court simply
decided that If Congress wanted an
Income tax it must apportion It
among tht several States in accord¬
ance with population. The Court has
held that the income tax is valid, tut
it must be upon a basis of population.
The constitutional amendment seeks
to cornet this disproportion. Under
the new amendment every man would
pay tre same upon the same Income
wherever located.
He wanted to
know where there Is a South Carolina
Democrat who would not be in favor
of an equal tax rather than making
this State pay fifteen times as much
as New York, for Instance.
Senator BailKy said he was a real
old-time Democrat, who still quoted
Jackson and Calhoun. He still be¬
lieved it is bcttTJr to be free than it is
to be rich. It Is not true that such
an amendment would abridge
the
rights of Stafca No change but one
is proposed, and that is that the in¬
come tax should be levied upon wealth
rather than population. The present

Bloomfield, N. J., Feb. 9..This
community Is excited by the strange
attachment between a horse and a
pet alligator belonging to James B.
Smith of No. 554 Bloomfield avenue.
The alligator will not sleep anywhere
except on the warm and broad back
of the horse, and when It Is removed
the horse is disconsolate and whin¬
nies and refuses to eat until the rep¬
tile is replaced.
Even when the
horse is taken out of the stable for
exercise the alligator remains on Its
back and Hhe horse walks along
gingerly seemingly fearing the alli¬
gator will fall off. The Smiths start¬
ed out for a drive today and the horse
refused to move until the alligator
had been placed In the carriage In a
place where it could be seen whenever
the horse turned Its head.
The Smiths have had the alligator
several months. It dlsaigeared dur¬
ing the cold spell on Sunday night.
Mgent search was made, and no
one could find It.
"I guess It went to the creek at
the back of the garden and burled
Itself In the mud," Smith said.
"If It did it is likely the filthy
water from the Passalc river will kill

It," a neighbor suggested.
Smith went to the stable next mor¬
ning to look after the horse. It was
lying down In the stall and refused
to get up. Smith went closer, think¬
ing the animal 111. He was astound¬
