THE CORPORATIONS WINS.

A Senate amendment to the War
Revenue bill proposes to tax corpor-
atoms. This amendment to the bill
passed by the House of Representa-
tives was proposed by the Democrats
of the Senate Finance Committee. 1t
was approved by Senator Jones of
Nevada, and he holds the balance of
power on the committee, it was re-
ported favorable by the majority. In
open session in the Senate it was
discussed at length and defeated, all
the gold Republicans and gold Demo-
Gratis as we'll as Walcott of Colorado
ahd Kyle Of South Dakota voting
against it.
The corporations from the gold
s%ynlcates were up in arms fighting
the amendment to tax them for wal
purposes and they succeeded in de
feating the amendment.
The defeat of this bill makes the
poor people pay the war tax, and re
lieves the corporations who will make
money out of the war.

ators that they both voted for the
bill.

A ~GUAD2uPLE ALLIANCE.

The wal with Spain has placed
America on the map of the world
with the greatest possible distinct
ness.
There is talk now of various allan
ces which will result in a new align
ment of nations and the latest is an
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. alliance in
which Japan will join.
During the beginning of the pres
ent war Germany seemed hostile, but,
the newspapers and legislatures have
brought about a change of feeling,
and Germany is now undoubtedly
anxious 10 join hands with England
and the United States. Japan which
is destined to be the power of the
East. feels friendly toward England
and the United States. We could
defy the world, if it ome to a
worlds war, as some believe possible
before the end of the century.
We have not only fighting mater
ial, but we have food supplies. Then
we have inventive, constructive ant
scientific brains to fashion our natl
onal resources into the most effective
engines of destruction and ~fortresses
of defense.
Ambassador White, at Berlin, has
had a very satisfactory interview
with Won Bulow, Foreign Secretary,
on the question of Germany's failure
to declare neutrality. Won Bulow
assured White that it was not the
custom of Germany to declare neu-
trality, and that the failure to pro-
claim it meant nothing. Won Bulow
made professions of friendship by the
Imperial Government for the United
States.
Such an alliance would command
the respect of the world, and one
that 70 possible combination could
overthrow.
