VIII. lam DRAPER
TAKES own LIFE
FARMER OF ADAMc TOWNSHIP
SUICIDES AT HOME NEAR
RLAKEsRURG

Lying dead in his own yard short
distance from his home, about three
miles east of Blakesburg, the body of
William Draper, a well known and
highly respected farmer of Adams
township was found last night about
O'Clock with a gunshot wound in his
body. The shot was fred at close
range and in the awful hole it made in
the body of the man, the wad from
the cartridge wa. found, showing that
the killing was with suicidal intent,
the gun lying close to the body.
The family and neighbors of the
dead man are at loss to account for
any motive other than a temporary
loss of reason. He was known to have
suffered from being overheated during
the summer, and at times did queer
things since his illness. He was
watched closely for some time, owing
to that cause, as self destruction was
feared. The wife and family of Draper
as we'll as the community, were shock
ed upon hearing Of the awful act, as
he was comparatively young man
and highly esteemed among the farm
ers in that vicinity. He was 81 years
of age and leaves wife and four
children to mourn his taking off.
In speaking of the affair Mrs. ORA,
per told that her husband had said to
her last night about 9 o'clock that he

strunent by which we could collect
money to enable us to meet exigencies.
I consider it an elemental weakness
that the government is unable in times
of emergency to levy such a tax.
Can Enlarge Corporation Tax.
'Tf the income tax amendment
passes we can enlarge the corporation
tax so as to include a proper burden
on bond holders in corporations as well
as shareholders. Those who favor a di-
rect personal income tax for the pliT-
pose of restraining great wealth prob
ably would find it ineffective for the
reasons given.
State is Proper Authority.
1.-THE proper authority to reduce the
size of fortunes is the state rather than
the central government. Let the state
inheritage laws require a division OF
the great fortunes between the child
rem the descendants, and not permit
multi millionaire to leave a fortune In
trust so as to keep it in mass and inn
pose heavy graduated inheritance tax.
Gradually but effectively the concen-
tration Of wealth thus would be natur-
allied. The inheritance tax cannot be
escaped, because the property must pa
adiudicated before transmission.
Further ReauIative Legislation.
.I doubt not that the information
obtained through the new corporation
tax will be made a basis for further
regulative legislation applicable only
to CORPORATIONS whose business is so
largely into state as to justify greater
restriction and more direct supervis-
| ion''

CORPORATION TAX is
DEFENDED BY PRESIDENT
e eSsd uoIJ penupuoO)

taxed income before it came into the
hands of the individual The English
tax is levied on the dividends of cor
porations, on rents before leaving the
hands of the tenants and upon indivi-
duals directly In cases not covered by
dividends and rents. England found
that direct income tax of 10 per
cent did not produce as much revenue
as the present method of taxation at
5 per cent This, he declared, illus
trated the premium that direct tax
places upon perjury concealment One
just distinction of the English law, he
said, is that the income tax on stocks
and bonds is higher than on incomes
earned by individuals.
Equitable Burden.
Said the president:
"Under the circumstances that ex-
listed in reference to the constitution,
it seemed clear that the corporation tax
is an equitable burden, one reaching
active business, not too heavy to re-
tard it, but enough to collect a. sub
stantial revenue from. those who are
successful in business.
Why He Favors it.
1T is tax easily collected, one that
which perjury cannot play any i'm
portant part in escaping it. Incident
ally it will give the government oppor-
tunity to secure valuable information
in respect to the conduct and condi-
lions of corporations. Their course of
business may also be examined in de-
tail if their returns are incorrect.
up to now we have no adequate
statistics concerning corporations
Even their stockholders are generally
ignorant and any instrCmentality by
which corporations can be compelled
to disclose conditions makes for pub
lie good. Indirectly. it would help much
| in another tariff revision, because cor
| porations engaged in business affect
| ed by the tariff have upon record in
| Washington their condition respecting
! their incomes. expenditures and debts
Except in Times of Stress.
| 81 opposed a general individual in
come tax law, except in times Of ma
tional stress. because it puts such {
premium on perjury and allows inevi'
table opportunities of escaping tax
But am most strongly in favor Of the
adoption by the states Of an amend
ment authorizing congress to impos
an income tax without apportioning j
among the states according to popula-
ton, because in times of war or othel
calamity when we strain our resource
our incomes will be an essential in

Bond For $125,GOO.

New York City.-Charles w.
Morse, former ~Ice King" who was
convicted on November 5, 1908, on
nor than fifty counts of misapplica-
ton of the funds of the National
Bank of North America. of which he
was president, of making false re-
ports to the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, classifying the books of the
bank and allowing overdrafts, in vio-
lation of law, was released from the
Tombs prison under $125,O00 bail,
following a decision by Judges La
combe, Noyes and Coke, of the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals.
At his home later Mr.. Morse said:
81 will take an Office downtown In
the financial district at once, and
start in to straighten out my affairs.
I feel sure that / will get a new trial
in the fall"
Irwin Morse, the second son of the
banker, came on from Princeton to

His bail bond was signed by TWEEN

gated themselves in the sum of $4,000
each to produce Morse for the Oc-

HUMAN SACRIFICE IN RUSSIA.
Police of Penn Investigating "Sect of
the Crimson God"

st. Petersburg, Russia.-Dispatches
from Perm, European Russia, say the
local police have begun an investiga-
ton into the "Sect of the Crimson
God" the. members of which are ac-
cused of Truman sacrifices and various
other horrible practices.
Repeated disappearance OF people
in the region where the members OF
the sect dwell drew suspicion to the
organization, which worships q red
wooden idol colored, according to the
statements Of the country people,
with human blood. The police have
located a secret grave containing the
mutilated body Of a man supposed to
have been sacrificed, and they expect
to find others.
The Ural region, of which Perm is
the centre, ia a breeding ground for
| many fanatica1 cults. 1t is a meeting
place of the Pagan tribes of Asia, as
| well as persons who fee from Russia
| on account OF religious persecution.
These refugees have lived for cen
turtles in the dense forests of the dis
| trict, and their beliefs have devel-
! oped alongthe most fanatica1 lines.

TAX ON CORPORATIONS RECOMMENDED
President Taft Sends Special Message to Congress ADVISING
Levy Of z Per Cent. on Net Earnings.

(192 u. s., 1919 seems clearly to es>
tablish the principle that such q tax
as this is an excise tax upon privilege
and not a direct tax on property, and
is within the Federal power with
out apportionment according to pop
ulation. The tax on net income IS
preferable to one proportiOnate to a
percentage of the gross receipts. be-
cause it is a tax upon success, and not
failure. It imposes a burden at the
source Of the income at a time when
the corporation Is we'll able to pay
and when collection is easy.
Another merit OF this tax is the
Federal supervision which must be
exercised in order to make the law
effective over the annual accounts
and business transactions OF all COR
p%orations. While the faculty Of as
Stunning a corporate form has been OF
the utmost utility in the business
world, it is also true that substantial
ly all of the abuses and all Of the evils
which have aroused the public to the,
necessity Of reform were made posi-
by by the use of this very faculty. If
now, by a perfectly legitimate and eff
fective system of taxation, we are in
%cidentally able to possess the Govern
ment and the stockholders and the
public Of. the knowledge OF the real
business transactions and the gains
and profits of every corporation in the
country, we have made a long step
toward that supervisory control Of
corporations which may prevent a
further abuse of power.
81 recommend, then, first. the
adoption Of a joint resolution by two
thirds of both Houses, proposing to
the States an amendment to the Con-
stitution granting to the Federal Gov
eminent the right to levy and collect
an income tax without apportionment
among the States according to popu-
lation, and, second, the enactment as
part Of the pending revenue measure,
either as a substitute for or In addi-
ton to the inheritance tax. of an ex-
else tax upon all corporations meas
ured by two per cent. Of their net in
come.

WORLDS LARGEST DRY DOCK.
Government Awards ST, 100000 Con-
tract For One in Hawaii.

tract For One in Hawaii.
Washington, D. C.-Contracts for
what is destined to be the largest dry
dock in the world were awarded by
the Navy Department, when Secre-
tary Meyer accepted the bid of the
San Francisco Bridge Company for
the construction of the dry dock at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The masonry
and cement part OF the big structure
is to cost $1,760,OO0, and the finish
ing work necessary to complete it will
run the cost v higher.
When it is ready for the reception
! of vessels the dock will accommodate
the largest of the ~battleships and
have room to spare. It will be able
to take in a complete 1otilla of tor
pedo craft, or two cruisers at the
same time. The dock is $40 feet
long and 140 feet wide outside the
| coping, and it will be equipped with
the most modern appliances for re.
pairing the vessels Of the navy.
Plans for an elaborate system o.
defenses for the harbor have beer
drawn, and work is to proceed a
once, keeping pace with the construc
ton Of the dock.
