EX-SENATOR TELLS
OF THEJKCOHE TAX
Nbrris Brown Relates Some
History to the Barristers'
Club.
HAD STORMY PROGRESS
The stormy voyage the income tax
amendment had in congress before it
finally became a part of the federal
constitution was reviewed at noon by
ex-Senator Norris Brown in a brief
talk to the Barristers' club at the
Commercial club rooms.
He showed what ridiculous objec
tions came up, especially from those
who for one reason or another, did
not want the amendment passed. The
senator said when he could not get
the help he wanted to start the
amendment on its way he went to
Senator Aldrich. Senator Aldrich
told him it would not be a bad idea,
hut he said the senate was too busy
-with currency legislation. He tried to
put Senator Brown off to the next
session. "Well, when Senator Aldrich
puts you off," he said, "that is the end
of it.
"So I went to see the president of
the United States. I had prepared
a brief and had the material pretty
well in hand. President Taft finally
consented to help me. The next day
he sent a special message to the sen
ate urging the passage of such an
amendment, The senate took notice
then, and it is surprising how much
time those committees had after that
to work on the matter." .

OPENINGS SHOW
(CwtisNd From Fate One.)
every one of these types can be seen
at the Omaha show. These sixteen
types were designated to keep the
nomenclature of automobile types
from becoming unduly numerous.
Starting with the regular style of
touring car for . five or seven passen
gers, the list includes the convertible
touring car, salon touring ear, road
ster, eoupelet, coupe, convertible
coupe, clover-leaf sedan, open sedan,
limousine; open limousine, berline,
brougham and landaulet Some of
the cars exhibited may vary some-
what from the rigid standards, but
they will fall under the general clas
sification. , Streamline and atraight
line body designs are the most fa
vored, although some manufacturers
seem to have reached a more or less
happy and successfu compromise.
Color combinations are more strik
ing than ever before. While the
standard colon of black, blue and
green stilt dominate, there Is a new
freedom of color design and applica
tion that adds to the individual ap
pearance of the 1917 car. New mod
els are generally roomier, upholstery
deeper snd interiors more refined if
not so ornate. ' :
The truck display this year will
be even more comprehensive than a
year ago. A special annex for the
commercial vehicles has been built on
Fourteenth . street so that more
trucks can be exhibited and to better
advantage. ' '

Like the Zaandijk, the Eemland was
coming here to take on grain con
signed to the Dutch government
ihe Jacatra, owned by the Rotter
dam Lloyds, left New York January
26 with grain for the Dutch govern
ment. It had put in at Kirkwall.
The Menado, also owned by the
Rotterdam Lloyds, was believed to be
on its way to the United States from
Rotterdam to get grain. Apparently
most of these vessels were in Kirk
wall or Falmouth during the early
days of the period of .Germany's un
restricted submarine warfare.
For more than a year all shies flv-
i. g the flag of 'Holland have been
Ailing from 60 to HU per cent of their
cargo space with grain. This space
was commandeered and the grain was
all consigned to The Netherlands
government
None-of the ships reported . sunk
carried passengers.
The Menado and Bandoentr died
between Holland and the Dutch West
Indies. Tha last report of the Me
nado was on January 24, when it ar
rived at Sues on its way from Batavia
to. Rotterdam. The Bandoeng sailed
from Fort said January 16 on a voy
age from Batavia for Rotterdam.
The British steamer Grenadier has
been sunk, Lloyds announces. The
captain and six men were kille' and
the remainder of the crew landed.
The British steamer Troian Prince
has also been sunk.
There are two British steamers
tamed Grenadier, the first of 1,004
tons and the second of 357 tons. The
Trojan Prince measured 3.196 tons

Toklo. Japan. Feb. 24. The Nichi
Niche announces that an armed mer
chantman is raiding commerce in the
Indian ocean and haa sunk two Brit
ish steamers southwest of Colombo.
A mail dispatch to the Associated
Press from Tokio, under date of Jan
uary 10, says that persistent rumors
were attoat in Japan that two berman
converted cruisers had appeared in the
Indian ocean. Ihe dispatch stated
that the Japanese navy .department
had detailed several war ships for
patrol duty in the neighborhood of
Singapore, Penang and other points
on Indian ocean routes.
Since the destruction of the cruiser
Emden, in the Cocoa Islands, by the
Australian cruiser Sydney in Novem
ber, 1914, the waters of the far east
have been undisturbed by German

Declares Boycott
Upon Potatoes
Dea Moines, la., Feb. 24. Mayor
Joljn MacVicar, who attained 'promi
nence this winter when he seized coal
by the carload for distribution to the
city's poor, today declared a mu
nicipal boycott on potatoes. .

clared that he had been informed
that speculators were helding enor
mous quantities ot tne vegetame in
storage in hope of "maintaining un
reasonable prices," and "warned such
dealers that the city was clothed with
authority to correct such abuses."
March 3 was given as the date for
the beginning of the boycott and in
a statement the mayor declared that
he believed an investigation of al
leged potato speculation would Bt un.
necessary. .
"The boycott ouuht to do the busl
ness," he said. "Maybe the mere
threat of a boycott will be sufficient."

FARMERS NOT CONVINCED1
Fairbtiry, Neb., Feb. 24. (Special
Telegram.) The Fairlmry Commer-,
cial club started an aggressive cam
paign last night to urge the Nebraska
legislature to adopt' a biH accepting ;
the provisions of the Shackeliord !
federal road law. President J. W.,
McDonnell presided. Speeches vere
unanimous in urging the legislature
to accept the proponed federal aid.
Among the reasons advanced for
acceptance of the proposed aid were
that it will be the start of a svsteiii
of good roads; that statistics ,-Imiv
that for every dollar paid m by Ne
braska in internal revenue $( will
be returned by. the federal govern
ment as the state's proportion of the
good roads tax; that good roads are
like good cattle and horses, the bet
ter you can get them the more orofit-
able the revenue derived therefrom.
While the Commercial club to.
frained from passing rcsnkuions ask
ing the legislature to accept the aid
under the Shackelford act, petitions
were put in circulation among the
rural and city population to urge
the Nebraska legislature to accept
the aid.
It is understood that Irffcrson
county farmers will oppose the meas
ure generally on the ground of sur
rendering local government and
placing it in the secretary of agri
culture at Washington.
