privaeies Of the big. corporations we
think not.
The people who have favored the in
come tax are already amply dis
gusted with the methods by which they
have been jockeyed and their confidence
abused They can hardly be blamed.
The Democrats would be under no OBJ
legation whatever to support an AID
rich measure that VIGOROUSLY was in
vented for the purpose of preventing
the Democrats getting a bit of credit in
connection with the tariff making.
The corporation tax measure would
doubtless 60 through the Senate. but
when it went to the House it would
be duly rejected; the House would
stand on its inheritance tax pro-
vision, the Senate on its incorporation
tax; and in the end both would go out
of the bill
What's the use pretending to believe
that Senator Aldrich wants the cor
poration tax in order to help control
the corporations? Nobody believes any
thing of the kind; nobody believes
anybody else believes anything of the
kind. The man who pretends to think
Aldrich Is sincere in advocacy of such
"a measure knows that nobody will be
lieye either he or Aldrich is sincere. It
is too late for the chairman of the
Finance Committee to pose as the
.conservator of Roosevelt ideals and the
sponsor for the progressive policies Of
the Republican party. He has been
too uniformly and too long opposed to
those things.
1t is as plain as daylight that the
whole muss has been carefully stirred
up IN order to kill all legislation of
this kind. Gentlemen who place them
selves in Mr. Aldrich's hands to carry
out that purpose should not mislead
themselves into the notion that they
viii fool the public The whole oper-
alton has been too simple, too obvious.
The veriest tyro in legislative manipu-
lation can see TO the end of tho pro-
gram and observe there the easy dis
appearance of all three of these pro-
posals from the tariff bill. That is what
Senator Aldrich and his lieutenan1s
want, and what they are in fair way
to achieve And they expect the public
to be fooled.
This is once when the public viii not
be fooled.

MR.. UNTERMYER ON THE
GREAT CORPORATIONS.

Samuel UntermEer, one of the great
lawyers of the country, has set forth
a lawyers view of the Governments
duty in the matter of regulating the
great corporations, which deserves
serious attention. Mr.. Untermver
points out that the combination of the
trusts and the tariff which protects
the monopolies OF so many OF them, Is
what makes the cost OF living so high
Rs gravely to menace the country. He
insists that there is law enough. if
only it were effectively enforced, to end
many of the corporate abuses.
As counsel for Adolph Segal in the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com
pany's case against the Sugar trust,
Dir. Untermyer has had opportunity to
prove how eficaeious the present laws
may be made in handling the big
trusts. Consequently there is especial
interest when he says:
There never has been an honest.
Intelligent effort to enforce the ample
provisions of the law against any of
the monster monopolies.
he Government mas mad ETDu-
bic IN ccnvlcting and driving out of
business a few poor, struggling COM
paratiVely harmless combinations
that were put together to prevent
bankruptcy and secure a small profit
But the financial buccaneers who
have been holding up the country In
the necessities Of life, Keeping out
foreign competition through the tariff
at one end and crushing home COM
petition a the other, until the in
crease IN the cost of living is alarm
ing have remained immune until
every lawyer who has had to deal
with this big question Knows that
the pretended enforcement Of the
law is a huge farce.
Every time the Government has
had A chance TO enforce the criminal
provisions of the law (which consti-
tute the only effective part the
others being mainly academic) 1t has
run.
'There are always SO many reasons
for not doing things that il is never
difficult TO md one. We learned that
lesson in the recent ventilation of
corporate dishonesty, when every ex-
posed criminal went npunished-the
most OF them back at the old game
on slightly modified lines, including
the subsloizing OF part OF the press
through eXtravagant Advertising at
the pOlicyholders' expense and ieer-
Ing at discounted muck-rakers.
Mr.. Untermyer talks like a man
who would be a most useful addition
10 the equipment of the Department of
Justice. He also tries eases in
fashion that suggests such a possible
utility.

THE INCOME AND THE COR
PORATION TAXES.

To believe that Senator AIdrich is in
favor of a tax on the net earnings OF
corporations; to assume that he favors
it because it would compel all corpor-
ations, great and small. to expose their
inner secrets TO the Government; to
imagine that he would like this done in
order that the Governments arm NAV
be strengthened in its effort effectively
10 regulate the g-eat aggregations OF
capital-an this imposes rather
heavier tax on eredulity than an ordin-
airy mortal is disposed to permit.
Senator Aldrich must have changed
front very suddenly. TO get himself
lined up thus in favor of rigorous
regulation and searching publicity It
does not seem possible
For weeks the Rhode Island leader
has been seeking an avenue of escape
from the income tax. With the Demo
Gratis pledged by their platform in its
favor, and with large minority of
Republicans committed by their con
xietions to II, there has been menace
that it would pass. Mr. Aldrich has
been determined that nothing Of the
kind should happen.
The project Of tax on net earnings
ri corporations was taken up as an in
Vstrumentality for crowding aside the
income tax. It was made TO look at
tractiYe; it would give the Admins
tration the very information it needs
in order to enforce the laws against
preying trusts and wicked corpora
lions. Senator Aldrich proceeded with
ont delay 10 crowd out the income tax.
and substitute the corporation tax for
il.
From all accounts the Sena te's leader
has succeeded to the extent of having
the income tax measure defeated. If
then the Senate shall adopt tie cor
poration tax in lieu, what will happen
10 the corporation tax2 VIII it be

bill, and to bare the innermost

STORING AWAY
TRIBAL RECORDS

In the photograph archives Of the
Vienna Academy OF Sciences a coIlec-
tion of music and speech Of many races
and tribes in distant lands is gradually
being formed. The most recent addi-
lions have been brought from Natal,
and include selections Of speech, song
and music from Zulus, Nadi. Swat.
Matabele, Baca, and other races. There
are war songs OF the Zulus IN their
fighting with the Rasutos and the Eng
lish. Every tribe and every chief has
special songs. There are. besides, many
love songs and dancing songs. Some OF
the latter have been composed by Chris
tiau natives, and plainly show the indu-
enCe OF mSdern music. The academy
has sent special expeditions TO remote
parts Of Africa and South America to
gather records.

ON SENATE CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE.
COMMITTEE.

Clark. minority leader. Underwood Of
Alabama, and Griggs of Georgia.
The House leaders are now seriously
concerned about how they will handle
the tariff bill when It gets back from
the Senate. 1t will be necessary to have
rule brought in from the Rules Com
mittee restricting votes and speeches on
the variouG amendments made by the
Senate
The adoption of this rule viii be a
great deal more difficult than was the
adoption OF the rule ending general de-
bate. The ranks Of the Insurgents are
likely TO be greatly augmented when the
bill gets back for the very simple reason
that not a few OF the members are fear
full about what viii happen to them
when they return home to explain the
why's and Wheretores of tariff revision
These members will insist upon an op-
portunity to vote against the Senate
increases.
These increases are Of vital interest
TO many of the members. and the prob
lem which the Rules Committee will
have to solve is to frame its rule so that
II viii keep the dissatisfied ones from
breaking over the traces. II is admitted
that there is some likelihood that the
rule will be voted down. Such action
would play havoc with the plans of the
regular organization.
Instead of sending the bill to con-
ference with votes or instructions on a
few of the most important amendments
IL would throw the entire bill into Com
mittee OF the Whole, and each amend
nent would be taken up seriatim This
just the situation that the House
eaders wish to avoid. They will un-
doubtedly make concessions to MEM
bers who have heretofore been regular
but who now threaten to Join the in
surgents ii necessary to set themselves
straight In their districts. The leaders
fear that the concessions will become so
numerous that the rule viii be so cumber-
some that when introduced members
who have been neglected viii he justified

The Republican leaders of the House

whack at the tariff bill before il goes
