Oovernor Bickett's measure ioraiaendins; the state c-nstituuou to prohibit more than l vyo successive terms for state ainl three for- country officers, barring 3uc(jc;a), educa tional and liealih branches, was tabled in the senate today. Thus passed into nothingness a recom mendation that brought perhaps the biggest applause gained in the inaugural address. . Not only was the bill tabled but it was killed so dead that it cannot be revived durning the remaining days. . The state officers who have held steadily throughout the century and received last year renewed commissions iu statewide primiries were happy today. The house bill by Senator Clark providing for semi-aunual bond issues of $4 0,000 at 4 per cent, to take care of county bonds at 5 per cent, in roadbuilding under the system of liquidation of principal and interest in 41 years, was laia oeiore tne senate and discussed at leugth before opposition ny Senator Little oi Anson, and others was overcome and the bill put through second reading without opposition. It is a roil can Din ana naa to go over for final reading. Senator Little feared that there would be a crippling of the state's credit by this automatic semi-annual system of bond issues, but the b:g following the bill had ou talk ed the senator. The bill to limit the terms of state officers to two terms and c iuntry officers to three terms, 11 line with the rec )ninaendttion of Governor Bickett. came up ii the senate and was disposed oi in short order, a motion by Long of Halifax to table beinsr carri without discussion ar.d thei mot'on to reconsider atul tSen to table ihit motion being put thro igh to apply "the ''clincher ' so that it cannot be resurrected at this session.

Expected to TotaU- War prosperity has doubled the muinber of our citizens having an nual incomes of $20,000 to $500,000 in the last year as compared with the year previous, Thomas F. Logan writes in Leslie's. The receipts from the individual income tax show an increase of $27,000,000, the total for the year ended June 30 last being $67,943,294. According to the esti mates of the commissioner of inter nal revenue this will be raised during the current year to $111,750,000. New York paid one-fourth of all the corporation income taxes and nearly one-half of all the direct income taxes collected last year. In the lat ter respect it yielded nearly five times as much as Pennsylvania, nearly six times as much as Illinois, more than even times as much as Ohio. The five states named paid four-fifths, of the income tax collected m the Unit ed States. One hundred and twen ty Americans have incomes of a mil lion or more a year, not counting in come from capital stock. New York supplied seventy-four and Pennsyl yaniaten. New Jersey and Ohio fol low, with seven and aix, respectively, while Connecticut, Delaware and Il linois have four each.

The above little "joker" which Senator Reed placed in the post- office appropriation bill is giving members of Congress and sen ators from dry states no end of trouble. It is also worrying the prohibition leaders. It has wor ried the latter so much that not withstanding the fact that inso far as dry territory is concerned the passage of-thia amendment means "bone dry" states wher ever the states desire such a conditon. E, C. Dinwiddie, head of the national temperance bur eau and president of the Nation al Anti Saloon league would not give a direct answer tonight when asked if the league favored the bill. "We are not opposing the measure," was the way Dr. Din widdie evaded the question. "Does not this bill go as far is the prohibitionists may even expect to go?" was the question put to the head of the Anti-Rum league. - "We are not opposing this bill," was the answer to this question.
