In conclusion, Mr.. White declared
that it would be the plain people who
would not only offer up their lives in
defense of the national honor but who
would also pay the bulk of the taxes
for the conduct of the war. He APP
| pealed to senators to permit the bill
to pass in such form as would dis
tribute with reasonable equity the
burdens it imposed and to pay taxa
ton that would be fair to the Ameri-
can people and would reflect honor
upon the senate.
DISCUSSED BY TELLER.
Mr.. Teller followed. He said he had
no intention of discussing the bill from
a partisan standpoint, considering the
necessity of properly conducting the
war more important than the securing
of partisan advantage. He adverted TO
the interest felt by the American peo-
pie in the Cuban question, saying the
struggling people could have been aided
in the past without violating the neu-
trality laws. He thought war might
have been avoided, but now that war
was on, he wanted to see it conducted
by a united country. The admlniStra-
ton would find itself supported by ev-
cry party, and there would be no hold
ing back the sinews of war, all the
men and all the money. Mr.. Teller re-
country for war and said this should
not have been the case. He did not be-
lieve the war would be of long dura-
ton, and said no vast appropriations
would be necessary in its conduct He
said there was not. under the circurn-
stances, justice in taxing future gener-
atoms TO pay for the war, as 1T was
not as was the civil war. a war for
self-preservatiOn. He asserted that the
bond feature of the bill was in no wise
cogniZant to a revenue measure, and
said it was only attached for the pur-
pose of taking advantage of the war
exigency to secure authority for bond
issue. The proceeding was without
precedent in the history of our coun-
try. Mr.. Teller took up the amend
ments for greenbacks, the coinage of
the seigniorage, the corporation tax,
and supported them at some length
He said he did not believe there should
be a line drawn between state and ma
tional taxation. If this line were drawn !
the states might render it impossible to |
conduct a great war. AS for himself, |
he would not only tax corporations, (
but he would also include producing in |
dividuals. He would not put a tax upon 1
the poor; he would put it upon the
rich. He would put q, tax on salaries, |
as we'll upon those Of senators as upon |
others.

UNJUST TAXATION.

Mr. White maintained that the plac-
ing by the house of representatives of
one-third of the tax to be raised upon
beer, one-third on. tobacco and one
third on stamps, was most unjustifia
BILE. Beer and tobacco. it was argued,
said he, were luxuries which people did
not have to use unless they chose to do
so. He admitted and contended that
tobacco and beer were legitimate ar
ticles of taxation, but said there could
be no doubt that the burden of the tax
would fall upon the poor men of the
country.
Mr.. White denounced the stamp tax
as an OnerOus burden, from which all
would be glad to escape. 1t was a nui-
sance and par excellence a tax upon
the plain people.
Concerning the inheritance tax, Mr..
White maintained that notwithstand-
ing the objections, urged against it by
reason of its being an invasion of the
prerogatives of the state, it was per-
fectly justifable. and he expressed the
hope and belief that the courts would
sustain the action of congress in en-
acting the proposition into national

But. he said, the taxing power was
greatly curtailed by the decision of the

With the greatest respect for that body,
he maintained that the courts decision

simply that the rich could not be taxed.

THE CORPORATION TAX.

THE CORPORATION TAX.
/ Mr.. White then entered upon a long
discussion of the proposed corporation
+ tax, which he earnestly supported. He
I maintained that the corporations owed
something to the country, not only for
/ their creation, but also for the privi-
! lege of existence. He maintained that
| the argument of senators that a tax
should not be laid against corporation
because it was not laid against a
partnership engaged in the same line of
business was not sound, as the cOrpo-
ration enjoyed more privileges than the
partnership in business and before the
law. Were it not so corporations would
not be formed. He regretted that there
was a manifest disposition among Re
publican senators to oppose the plan of
any tax upon any corporation. They
were all. seemingly, at least, alike OPP
posed to insisting that the Standard
Oil company and the Sugar trust and
other great monopolies should be COM
PEELED to pay their share of the burdens
of the present war.
GORMANS AMENDMENT.
Mr. White said that Mr.. German. of
Maryland had prepared an amend
ment to the measure which he would
be willing to support if the general
tax upon all corporations should not
be deemed desirable by the senate At
his request Mr.. German sent to the
desk and had read the amendment
he proposed to offer at the proper
time. It follows:
That from and after the passing of
this act, every person. firm, company
or corporation, owning or possessing
or having the care or management of
any railroad, street railroad, sleeping
car steamboat, ship or other vessel,
engaged or employed in the business of
transporting passengers or freight for
hire, or in transporting the mails of
the United States or carrying on or do
ing express business or having the
care or management of any tele-
graphic or telephone line by which
Geographic or telephone dispatches or
messages are received or transmitted,
or carrying on or doing the business of
furnishing gas, electric light, electric
power steam heat or steam power, or
refining petroleum. or refining sugar,
or owning or controlling any pipe line
for transporting oil or other products.
whose gross annual receipts exceed
$3.50 900, shall be subject to pay an
nually a special excise tax equivalent
to one half of one per cent on the
gross amount of all receipts of such
persons, firms. corporations and COM
panies on their respective business;
provided, that the assessment hereby
made shall not include any amount of
the receipts for the transportation of
persons, freight or mails between the
United States and any foreign ports;
but this tax shall be rated for the
transportation of persons, freight or
mails; from a port within the United
States and shall be assessed upon and
collected from persons, firms, COM
panies or corporations with the United
States receiving hire or pay for the
of persons, freight or
mails

Washington, May 26.-No substantial
progress was made by the senate to-
day toward the disposition of the war
revenue measure. although it was un-
der consideration for three hours.
Speeches were delivered on the bill by
Mr.. White Dem, CALI and Mr.. Teller
of Colorado. The former opposed the
issue OF bonds and strongly advocated
the coinage of the silver seigniorage
and the tax upon corporations. In
his discussion of the last feature Mr..
Teller drew out the fact that an amend
ment was to be offered to the bill by
Mr.. German of Maryland, placing a tax
of one-half of l per cent on certain
large corporations. Mr.. Teller dwelt
largely upon the proposition to levy an
income tax He had not concluded his
argument when the bill was laid aside
in order that eulogies might be pro-
nounced upon the late. Senator Wal
thall of Mississippi.
Eight senators were present when the
vice presidents gavel fell at IL o'clock
this morning, calling to order today's
session of the senate. and after 10 min
utes' delay in securing a quorum the
war revenue measure was laid before
the senate.
Mr.. White of California then began
an extended speech, covering pretty
fully the general features of the bill,
especially those relating to the tax on
corporations and on inheritances. The
consideration of the bill, he said, had
enlisted the attention of the country,
and many people were becoming rest
less because a final vote had not been
reached.
He thought, however, that the delay
was due to the popularity of the pend
ing measure. The revenue bill, upon
which the civil war was conducted, was
a complicated instrument, utterly in
applicable to present conditions.
The object of the bill challenged the
attention and support of every mem
Der of both branches of congress. All
are united to present solid front to
the foreign foe. 1t was no longer
question of doubt that all the money
necessary for the prosecution of the
war would be supplied. 1t was simply
the method of raising the funds that
was under debate here.
Great as this nation is said he,
mighty as are her resources, this
is not now prepared to place
before an opponent its full strength and
all the material of war residing in its
bosom. But in time land not very
long time, either it will be ready to
put forth its full strength, and then
this conflict will be decided speedily"
Mr.. White said he deemed it essen
tally desirable that taxation imposed
by the bill should be spread over the
fairly and equitably. The bur
iens placed upon the country by the
war ought to be borne by all alike.

4 Mexican Custom on Good FRIDAY.

Mrs. Sara Y Stevenson contributes to
The Century an article on "Maximil-
JAMS EMPIRE one of a series devoted
to the French Intervention in Mexico.
In describing the scenes that followed
the siege of Puebla Mrs. Stevenson says:
It was Mexican custom on Good
Friday to burn Judas in efigy on the
Plaza Mayor. Judas was a manikin
made in the shape Of the person who
happened to be most unpopular at the
time. 1t was quite admissible to burn
Judas under different shapes, and some
times these summary autos-da-fe were
multiplied to suit the occasion and the
temper of the people. At the same time
rattles were sold on the streets and uni
versally bought alike by children and
adults, by rich and poor, to grind the
bones Of Judas, and the Objectionable
noise-second in hideousness only to
that of our own sending off of frecrack-
ers on the Fourth Of July-was reli-
giously kept up all day. In the year of
our Lord 1868 Judas was burned in
Mexico on the Plaza Mayor under the
shapes of General Forey, Napoleon III,
and last, but not least, NJ. Dubois de
Saligny, who especially was roasted
with a will amid the wild excavations
of the populace.
