Attorney-General Wir.keraham in an opinion of the case, submitted to the President, recommends approval of the committee's action.

July 14-With the ratification of but five more States needed to make the income tax amend ment part of the fundamental law, members of Conrgess, certain of the success of the amendment to the near future are beginning to consider it in relation to tariff legislation. The in come tax amendment as drawn does not provide that the tax shall be levied as Boon as the provision is ratified. The legality of the principle is merely rec ognized and it is left to Congress to np ply the principle in future legislation.

MAP STOLEN Two Important Documents About sAlaskan Steal Dis s , appears. Washington, July 15 -Another mys terious "disappearance" of documents in regard to the Controller Bay; Alaska rights of way, has developed before the House Committee on Expenditures in the Interior Department. Major J. B. Cavanaugh, assistant to the chief of engineers, in charge of the river and harbor division, swore that he bad been unable to find a map which Chairman Graham (Dem III.) hap proof Was in the files of the War Dc- dartment until a few weeks ago. The map was alleged to have been filed on December 14, 1910, by Richard S. Ryan, the alleged Guggenheim agent, and purported to show his claim for rights of way around the bay. Cavanaugh testified he had been un able to find any trace of the map. This is the second document on the Controller Bay record which Miss M. F, Abbott, author of the charges that the Guggenheims were attempting to grab the only available outlet from the Alaskan coal fields, asserts is mi-sing. The other was the famous "D ck to Disk" letter which Miss Abott ssys she saw in the flies of the Interior De partment and which is alleged to have mentioned Charles P, Ta(t, brother of the President, as having "indued" the Executive to throw open Controller Bay to Ryan for entry.

MUCK IE HITSllSON FOLLETTE flEBT FIEND STARTS ONTAFTi CLAIMS HUNDREDS Says he is a Friend of Corporations And That He Has Betrayed The People. Washington, July 14. Caustic crit icism of President Taft for "not keep ing his promises;" "adding betrayal to betrayal" during his administration, and sacrificing progressive policies to Aldrichism and the reactionaries, with a bitter denunciation of the Canadian reciprocity agreement, was made to the Senate by Senator La Follette, Repub lican, from Wisconsin. The speech wa3 a notable one, even for La Follette. It bristled with invec tive and acidulous satire. Canadian reciprocity, he asserted, vi olated every principal of reciprocity heretofore expressed in Republican platforms, and violated every tariff pledge in the p'atform upon which Taft was elected president, "It promises to reduce duties for the benefit of the people," he said. "It reduces duties, the effect of which can never reach the people, qut it do(s rduce them for the millers, the packers, Standard Oil, the brew ers, the coal companies, and in some measure for the already grossly over protected interests. "It is nothing that it pretends to be, and professes to le nothing that it is. It is a little brother to the Payne-Ald-rich bill, the grr atcst legislative wrong inflicted upon the American people in a half century. " As a basis and justification for his vie ws, La Follette gave a history of the tariff situation for the last ten years, asserting th:it the "trust creator," the Dingley bill, which increased- the cost of living from 4!J to fit). 70 and 80 per cent., created an inevitable demand for tariff revision. In his campaign, La Follette said President Taft promised doward revision. Come To Our Pic nlc. Oak Grove Sundav School and Amity Farmers Union will have iheir pic nic Thursday July 20h.

Considerable liquida tion was undergone and new short lines were reported create I. Sentiment ap pears to be decidedly bearish, but trad ers are very cautious in selling. Tin rains of the last few days have apparently given general relief to the wc-stern belt, slimin'iting the sustaining feature of the new crop months.

The easiness in prices was by no mtans of a runaway kind, good de mand from trade interests and spinners purchasing for future delivery prevent ing a sudden break. On the other hand the feelinii prevailed that the rains have not been sulficient in all sections and some cotton was bought on pros pects for renewed dry weather in the southwest.
