sired point is reached, and men dar-
ing enough to trust their lives to the
first voyage and thus point the way
to thousands of eager followers.
In other words, a balloon several
miles high at the latitude of Boston,
finds a wind blowing from west to
east which is as dependable as the
motion of the earth itself, which will
whisk it across 5000 miles of sea at
rate of speed far exceeding that of
the swiftest ocean liner. At a point
near the equator it would wind an
equally steady return current which
would watt it at equal speed back to
America With a dirigible capable
of seeking favorable local winds or
proceeding against moderately unfa-
vorable ones to traverse the space
from England to the Canary Islands
or from Key West to Boston it can be
seen that a circuit would be estab-
lished which would have great possl-
bllities, even to the revolutionizing
of the passenger service between this
country and Europe-From ITO Eu-
rope by Balloon" in September Tech

is THE CORPORATION TAX con-
STITUTONAL?
There are good lawyers both in the

There are good lawyers both in the
senate and out of it who say that the
Taft-Aldrich corporation tax is an un-
constitutional measure. says the San
Francisco Examiner in an editorial
written before the adjournment Of the
special session.
They say, further, that the finance
committee Of the senate Is support
ing the bill just because 1t is conf
dent that nothing practical will come
of it-that II will be held invalid by
the Supreme Court.
If this be true, we have an extraor-
dinary an intricate case Of legisla-
tive duplicity that casts a reflection
even upon the President.
The income tax is postponed and
pushed aside in the Presidents mes
sage on the ground that 1t is ques-
tionable constitutionallty.
And this Unprecedented corporation
tax is substituted as being of surer
validity.
Now, II It shall turn out that the
proposed corporation tax is even
more difficult to square with the
Constitution than the income tax that
f. is crowding off the stage, we shall
be obliged to believe that Mr.. Taft,
Mr. Root and the rest are very poor
lawyers-to save our thoughts from
a more disagreeable alternative.
