Still defying public sentiment the New Jersey Assembly voted 50 to 8 for ratification of the federal income tax amendment.

The piece notes opposition despite expectations of solidarity and hints at lingering old guard influence.
The only apologist in the Senate for the clause sneaked into the immigration bill in conference. Senator Simmons, a Democrat, faced bitter denunciation for supporting Aldrich in the Payne Aldrich tariff and backing a lumber tariff after helping frame a platform pledge for free trade. The measure, labeled repugnant to American ideals, would bar admission by education and overlook criminals and morally unfit persons.
The Carlisle Indian star Thorpe, crowned by the King of Sweden last summer as Olympic victor, is deemed the world’s greatest athlete.

The Red Bank Standard lauds Congressman Scully for backing a 296000 appropriation following a survey by General Bixby, Chief of Army Engineers, to widen and improve the Shrewsbury river.

A section of France’s state owned railroad system showed a deficit of 13 914 785 dollars in 1911 and 33 46 865 dollars over three years while fare and freight tolls on the system remained high.
The column mocks the use of statistics to argue state ownership of railroads and broad government control. It notes Republican worry over a second Wilson term, criticizes party organs urging renunciation, mentions a New York man declaring liabilities of 421000.35 with no assets, and comments on the Young Turks being old enough to know better.
A collection of editorials and opinions cites Washington Post on Cuba and Mosquitoes, Padisaic Herald on repeal of anti mosquito laws, and Philadelphia Inquirer on gratitude to doctors. It discusses New York’s first session DUI penalty bill, urging strict enforcement, noting fatalities in New Jersey, and advocating five hundred dollars or a year in prison for intoxicated driving to deter joyrides.
The Oregon Legislature with seventy Republicans and eight Democrats will elect a Democrat to the United States Senate, reflecting voters’ will under the state’s popular election system. It will be the second such instance since adoption, with previous pledges upheld by Republicans. No effort to repudiate primary promises is expected this term.

Walker D Hines of the Atchison Railway told Kansas Bar Association that national dysfunction stems from poorly organized government with divided responsibility. He argued legislative, executive, and judicial branches each fail to bear full blame, pointing to scattered accountability and the need for reform beyond the initiative and recall.
The piece argues the division of government functions helped create unprecedented prosperity and warns against returning to consolidated power. It questions Mr. Hines on individual responsibility and suggests voters, once enfranchised, could improve governance by choosing better legislators and holding executives and legislatures to account, while the judiciary would then reflect stronger accountability. It cites the New York Times.
