WAR REVENUE.
Two Speeches Delivered on Features
of the Proposed Law in the Senate
Yesterday.

Washington, May 24.-That feature
of the war revenue measure placing a
tax of one-quarter of one per centum
upon the gross receipts of corporations
was under discussion in the Senate
throughout to-day's session. The prin-
cipal speeches were delivered by Mr..
Plat (Rep., Conn., and Mr.. Lindsay
(Dem., Ky,) both of whom vigorously
attacked the corporation tax. The
weight of the formers argument was
thrown against the tax on the ground
that it was unconstitutional, because
the tax was not levied alike upon all
persons engaged in a particular line OF
business. He maintained that an Occu-
patton tax could be levied, provided that
the conditions were fair and equitable,
but that the business of corporation
could not be taxed, simply because It
was conducted by corpoi alton. To
be equitable the tax must be laid upon
the business, whether it was conducted
by corporation, partnership, a firm
or an individual
Mr. Lindsay vigorously antagonized
the proposed issue of legal tender notes,
declaring that it accentuated the exist
ing menace to the gold reserve of The
treasury, and was, besides, the dearest
money ever devised. He held that such
an issue would be blow to the ma
tons financial credit. He also pre-
sented an argument against the pro-
posed corporation tax, maintaining tina.
if enacted into law it would breed a
batch of lawsuits, instead of providing
what the government needed-ready
money with which to conduct the war
operations.
Tomorrow the Senate will resume
the discussion of the pending measure
an hour earlier than usual, the session
beginning at II o'clock.

THE UNITED STATES ANO EUROPE.

Apparently it is unofficial France
only that has been harboring unfriend-
ly feeling toward the United States.
The report now is that official France
will do everything it can to maintain
the historic cordial relations between
the two great republics in the hemi-
spheres
Again, we are treated to an extract
from the official organ of the Car of
Russia, which is almost as important
Is if it came from the Cars own lips,
recalling the time when Russia sent
her navy to our shores to safeguard
the Union from foreign attack during
the civil war and hoping that the his
toric friendship between the great en-
pire and the great republic thus mani
tested would be continued.
And again, and most important of
all, we have the openly announced
friendship of Great Britain, stated in
so many words and embodied in a
suggestion of alliance in the recent
speech of Lord Roseberry, the colonial
secretary.
Sir Henry Irving, responding at a
press dinner to Mr. Carnegie's toast to
the actors health, spoke feelingly of
his own fellow Britains deep love for
America The correspondent notes as
significant that "the highly representa-
tive company Of journalists, artists and

OBSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Council would do we'll to put a
summary stop for all time to come to
the practice of passing ordinances and
resolutions giving persons, firms and
corporations permission to obstruct
sidewalks with area-ways, steps,
porches, etc. The sidewalks are de-
vised and intended for the free and I'M
INSTRUCTED use of the whole people, and
the people are entitled to the full width
of said walks. from the building line to
curb. Any permission to encroach upon
the sidewalk, given one person, is at
the expense of the whole people, and
for one l do not believe Council has
any right to give any part of the public
streets away, either by resolution or
ordinance. 1t is wrong in principle and
vicious in practice; if one man has a
right to a portion of a street, every
other man has an equal right to what
ever he thinks he needs, and one can
easily see where this would end.
Stop the whole business, and this is
as good time as any to commence.

| The War Department Having Trouble

! able Rates.
| Washington, May 24.-"We have not
secured any new ships, but are still ne
gotiating for the Colon and China
said Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn at
| the close of business hours to-day. The
difficulty with these ships has been the
question of price, the owners of them
and the department officials being un-
able to agree on the rates to be paid.
! Mr.. Meikeljohn has not yet put into
execution his threat to impress some OF
the steamers on the Pacific coast into
the service of the United States, and
he hopes this will not be necessary,
but that the companies will come for
ward promptly and offer their vessels
! to the government at reasonable rates.
| 1t is believed to be likely, however, that
! recommendation will be made to Con-
gress granting an American registry
to the Tacoma, Victoria and Argyll, OF
| the Northern Pacific line, so that they
may be fitted out for use as transports,
as quickly as possible. The steamer
Ohio, vessel of 1900 tons, belonging
to the Empire Transportation Com
pany, has been offered to the govern
ment and the question of her accept
ance is under consideration. She is at
A l4,, -
been offered to the department, even at
reasonable rates, but they were in such
condition that the officials promptly re-
fused them on the ground that it would
not be safe to send troops in them,
Should the government decide to ask
that an American registry be given to
all six vessels of the Northern Pacific
Steamship Company, and they be secur-
ed for transport purposes, these with
the five ships already secured and the
China, Colon and Ohio, would furnish
accommodations, it is believed here,
for between 5000 and 1900 men-just
about the number which the war de-
partment will send to Admiral Dewey.
An earnest effort will be made to secure
the American boats, but it is very
plainly set forth by Mr.. Meikeljohn
that the officials will not lose further
unnecessary time, but will instead ask
that American register be given to GER
tain vessels or else impress American
ctoanorc into the corvjao
The advice received at the depart
ment to-day was that the Picking, Sydney
and Australia would sail from San
Francisco for Manila tonight.

ATHLETES As SOLDIERS.

We have seen where many would-De
soldiers have been rejected because OF
injuries to spine and heart caused by too
violent riding of the bicycle-lnJurles
which the men themselves, being APP
parently strong and athletic, were I'M
aware of, but which the examining sur
geons quickly discovered We are told.
also. that in numerous instances since
the breaking out of the war surgeons
have rejected champion athletes" as
unfit for the duties incumbent upon
a soldier. 1t must be peculiarly vexing
to a young man who has made a spe-
cialty of developing his physique to
find that as the result of all his efforts
to attain bodily superiority he is in no
condition for military service-one of
the best practical tests of a mans phys
ical worth.
The fact of the matter is that mus
cular strength and constitutional en-
durance are two different things, and
that the person who unduly develops
his muscular strength does so at the
expense of the rest of his system. Men
equal to extraordinary feats of strength
in certain directions are not as a rule
long lived. Athleticism, beyond a GER
tain limit, does not conduce to health
or usefulness. The best development,
physical or mental is symmetrical. AS
a waterway is practically no deeper
than it's shallowest place, so consti-
tuition, especially for war purposes. is
no stronger than its weakest place The
strength of the normal young man,
though his muscles are not particularly
in evidence, is equalized, and can stand
strain at all points. He is the young
man who makes the soldier.

navy" such as some excitable limoges
are talking about, or one larger than
Great Britain's, or as large. We have
no need for such navy, for our
geographical location is excellent pro-
lection against invasion, while we
neither have nor desire immense pos
sessions abroad, such as England and
other European nations have, which
they must maintain enormous armies
and navies to defend.
Had we an immense army and navy
to support in idleness, we would soon
see our folly not only in the increased
burden on the people necessary for
their support, but in the captious and
belligerent attitude it would naturally
encourage on the part of our repre-
sentatives in Washington. And we
have no desire to enter the arena as an
international bully Our greatest aim
should be to maintain an honorable
peace with the world and to be salts
fed with enough.
1t is well enough to be prepared for
war in time of peace, but the prepara-
lions should be made with wisdom and
within reason.
