TARIFF AND INCOME TAX.
Formal notice of Ih«» ratifica
tion by Ihe slaf»' of Louisiana of
Ihe income lax constitulional
amemlmi'ul, lias reached Ihe
Stale Department «»1" Washing
Ion. Thirty-1liroe slates have
given notice of their approvatl of J
I his amendment.
The alTirmalive votes of only
two stales now are necessary to
make the three-fourths required
by 11i«'» constitution for Ihe adop
I ion of an amendment. It is not
doubted here that Ihe necessary
votes will be forthcoming during
Ihe coming winter sessions of
Ihe legislatures of Ihe following
stales, which have not ye! acted
upon I he amendment: Delaware,
Florida, Massachusetts, .NewJer
sey, New .Mexico, Pennsylvania,
Vermont. Virginia, We-t Virgin
ia and Wyoming.
The ratification of the incomc
lax amendment by the states will
make much more easy the proper
revision of the larill' schedules,
as it will provide course of rev
enue wilhoul reference to the
cust«_yns duties. This will en
able President Wilson and Ihe
Democratic administration to
consider the schedule in the light
of their need for the proper in
cidental protection accessary for
the safe-guarding of American
labor and making possible the
removal of the artificial protec
tion which has worked t.o Ihe det
riment of Ihe consumer and lo
i lie over I'alteniuK of the trusts.
