A CORPORATION LAW DEFECT.
Publicity Provision Puts President
 Above the Law.

From the New York World.
 One clause In the corporation taX bill as drafted by MT. Taft, MT. Knox, MT. wickersham. and MT. Root requires rad ieal amendment This clause provides that
 Tt shall be unlawful for any collector, deputy collector, agent, clerk. or other officer or employe of the United States to divulge or make known in any man. ner whatever not provided by law to any person, any information obtained by him in the discharge of his official duty or to divuge or make known in any manner not provided by law any doc ument received, evidence taken, or re- port made under this section, except up- on the special direction of the Presi- dent"
 This provision puts the President above the law. It enables him to make public at his own discretion and to suit his own purposes information which no corpora ton is compelled by law to furnish to the government of the United States, which Is no part of the legal reports or the public records provided for by act of Congress.
 No government official should have any discretionary power whatever in the mat ter of publicity. All the information which the law demands must be mat ter of record. Information which the law does not demand but which officials may obtain incidently in the performance of their duty Is none of the governments business. It should not be made public either with or without "the special di- rection of the President" but only in courts of justice. where such information might be deemed relevant to the trial of a criminal cause. There can be no excuse for bringing the element of arbi- trary, personal government into the ad- minstration of aalaw that touches prac- tically all the organized business of the country.
 For the rest, the bill Is a simply drawn measure providing for a tax of per cent on all corporation net income in excess of s50o0. and for sworn statements as to the financial affairs of all concerns affected The publicity provision Is by no means drastic. and the definition of net income is so broad that many great cor porations like the Erie Railroad company and the Metropolitan Traction company will probably escape paying any tax whatever.
 One of the most objectionable features of the bill as drawn is that 1t penalizes the honestly capitalized corporation and sets premium upon financial iugglery.

THREE HOOK HOTELS.  Complaint That Needs of the TraveIinq Woman Are Overlooked.

Nobody seems to have a word to say in behalf of the needs of the trveling woman' said woman whose calling keeps her moving about. And yet she has serious cause of complaint against the average hotel of this land. It's, three hooks. That Is what she has to hang her clothes on
 ''I wonder that the commercial travel CTS of the country can continue to look SO well groomed, for this three hook hotel is said to be deliberately designed to meet their needs. It is a growth of the last five or six years and especially thrlves in the middle west.
 f My profession keeps me from two weeks to month in each city and as when start out go on tour from six to ten months, naturally I bave several trunks of clothes and always some even ing things. How can I manage with three hooks? And the hotel managers usually say when I remonstrate: But this Is a commercial mems hotel
 "So now I am of the opinion that such men have three garments only. And the hotel men seem incensed because have more.
 "I cannot understand why the womens clubs haven't considered the travelling question. With more and more women on the road every year In business and continually increasing numbers in pur- suit or pleasure II seems as IT more con- sideration should be shown them.
 Some mighty good hotels. too. have the three hook habit. One of the best automobile hotels in New England never has more than three hooks in a room except in the private bath suites, and even then there Is only one more hook. But what sense is there in three hooks in an immense room containing one double bed. one single bed and folding bed?
 But there is one hotel In western Pennsylvania that deserves to be famous It is run by rich and cranky old bache- Tor, at least he is so cranky about women that In six years it was said I was the first woman except the milliner from New York who had stayed in the hotel more than one or two nights
 The hotel was chock full of rich old bachelors and widowers and there was every comfort of home in the rooms But that old bachelor provided six coat and skirt hangers for every room"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-07-12
NEW LAWS FOR JERSEY.
"Joy" Riding Becomes Crime After
 July Fourth.

From the New York Tribune.
 Over in New Jersey they have the pe- culiar, but by no means inappropriate, rule of making all laws, unless otherwise specified, go into effect on the Fourth of July following their enactment. At the late session of the legislature several laws of general interest to visitors as we'll as residents, were enacted without specified dates for taking effect, and they will therefore become operative on Monday next
 Of these laws the one which is prob ably of most general interest Is that which relates to the displaying of lights on vehicles on the highways at night There are some uncertainties concerning this measure which may initiate against It's effectiveness; but if, as is to be hoped, and indeed as seems probable, 1t is en- forced as it stands, it will require every vehicle of whatever kind which is on the road between an hour after sunset and an hour before sunrise to display a light showing both forward and backward, and visible at distance of 250 feet. That Is a sensible law, for the good of the occu- pants of the vehicles concerned as well as of those whom they may encounter on the road. It imposes no hardship. and it ought to be universally obeyed.
 Another law may well be object of envy to New Workers who have regard for the appearance of the streets or of the buildings which line thSrn It forbids un- der a material penalty the display of brewers or distillers' signs on buildings occupied as hotels or drinking saloons, or of any advertisement of any particular brand of liquor. The removal of the huge, gaudy and ugly signs will be a distinct gain for external appearances, and there Is reason to expect that 1t will have a narc6ntfbla affect tamDprance ure.
 With automobile legislation so much to the fore all around, it Is of interest to ob- serve that on and after Fourth of July all sorts of joy riding will be criminal in New Jersey.

Exception to the Rule.

From Judge.
 'T have boy in school of whom I am very fond,'' said a New York, teacher smilingly. "but I fear 10 think what his future may be-
 "Indeed? Does he nce-er-criminal tendencies?' some grave person, who had missed the smile. Inquired.
 ''Well, am afraid he may become a writer for funny papers, the teacher suggested tentatively "You see, I was having a history review the other day, and I asked this boy who was Peter the Great He answered. A czar of Russia.
 And was there more than one Peter the Great?" I asked.
 He appeared to ponder for moment and then replied.
 No Miss Mary; that was a case in which history didn't re-Pete itself"
