Virginia, another southern state, declined to ratify the provision. Representatives In congress are keeping close watch on the action of the various state legislatures. There are both friends and foes of the income Income tax proposition In congress, but even among Its friends there Is sharp difference of opinion as to whether such a tax law ever properly could be enforced, because of the proneness of men to hide the facta concerning the amount of their inThe proposed amendment to the constitution which will make legal beyond all question the laying of the tax on Incomes has been ratified already by the following states: South Carolina, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Illinois and Alabama. It has been rejected by Virginia. The legislatures of the following states are either now In session or have Just adjourned and as yet no action has been taken by them on the constitutional amendment: Rhode Island, Ohio, Massachusetts. New Jersey, New York and Maryland. Why It Was Submitted to States. It will be remembered that during the turlff debate early last spring the administration and the Republican leaders suggested that the Income tax amendment to the constitution should be submitted to the state legislatures for action. This unquestionably was done In order to discourage Income tax debate and the Introduction of amendments to the tariff bill. Of course It la not Intended to say that the administration was not sincere in its desires to have Income tax legislation. If it ever should reach a legislative form, put on safe constitutional grounds. It Is believed that President Taft Is In favor of the Income tax provided It can be shown that It is necessary In order to raise revenue, but his friends say his "Judicial mind" Is such that he does not want any legislation to go on the statute books unless it is absolutely certain that It baa the constitution back of It As has been said, there are many friends and many foes of the Income tax amendment proposition tn congress. Most of the friends of the measure come from the west and south, while the foes as a rule come from the east and northeast. Three-fourth- s of the state legislatures must ratify the proposed amendment before It can be put into form and be given a place In the constitution of the United States. Within the next year states through their legislatures will have a chance to ratify the amendment. The states that have ratified It and those whose legislatures are now In session but have taken no action, already have been named. The legislatures of the following states will meet and either sanction, .reject or ignore the amendment within the next year: Indiana, Iowa. Missouri. Minnesota. Arkansas. Louisiana. Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, North Caro21 line, Michigan, Georgia. Colorado. Oregon. North Dakota. South Dakota. Wyoming, Washington, Wisconsin. Texas and Tennessee. Twelve That Are Doubtful. It can be said that the general opinion Is In Washington that all of the states last named will sanction the amendment In three of these stales the legislative sessions will open In the late spring or summer of this year. There are 12 states which will have legislative sessions In 1911 and In these 12 there Is great doubt whether affirmative action on the amendment will be taken. Tbe 12 states are California. Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia. Roosevelt Well Informed. It Is a pretty thoroughly established fact that Theodore Roosevelt has In his possession an exhaustive letter written to him by Senator Ellhu Root of New York and giving In outline an account of tbe Taft administration from tbe fourth day of last March up to the time that the tetter was penned early In February of this year. There cannot be the slightest doubt that the New York senstor, who was Mr. Roosevelt's seeretsry of state, wrote the letter in the hop that It would offset the statements of a number of people who bad gone out to meet Mr. Roosevelt to tell htm that from tbelr point of view, that of "progression." the Taft admlntstrstton bss been a dire fsllure. In several speeches made recently by Democrats of prominence and In one or two letters by men of that party of almost equal prominence. It has been held that Mr. Roosevelt himself Is likely to be a big figure In tbe next national election. In these Demo trade epistles there has been lacking something of specific detail, and opinas to ion Is pretty evenly divided whether the present minority psrty hopes that the former president will sgaln be a candidate or that the hops Is he will sanction the Taft admlnls and continue to support II tratk-through Its present term. Includlnf the time when the present president may be a candidal for Rety on Third Term Issue. Thpre ar many leading Dernrwrs'i In Vahlrgton. Champ Clark smnri them, who seem to believe that If Mr Roosevelt should be nominated strait for the presidency, the feeling against a "third term" on the part of tht American pefle would be sure to defeat him for office. The Democrats also are malntalnltf that If Mr. Roosevelt Indorses tb Taft administration rid continues to glre It sanction, and by the force of his support, brings about the renom-Instloof the president for another term. the Progressives among tbe Republicans, who to some extent already seem to have desertel Mr. Taft at times, finally will desert Mr. Roosevelt and will pay no heed te his voice or bis writings.
