TAFT SENDS
A MESSAGE
The President Recommends
Legislation of Interest
to the People.
TOUCHES TARIFF LIGHT
Recommends Legislation For
Income Tax--Message
Very Strong.

Washington, June 16.-Recom-
mending legislation looking toward
the placing of two per cent tax on
the net income of corporations and
also the adoption of an constitutions
al amendment providing for the i'm
position of an income tax without
apportionment among the several
states, President Taft today sent a.
message to congress embodying his
views on the subject. He speaks of
the apparent inability OF congress-
to agree on an Inheritance tax and
refers to the recision Of the supreme
court in which such a tax was held
to be unconstitutional unless ap-
portioned according to population.
Such an amendment, he declares,
is the only proper course. The
amendment which he says should
be made to the tariff bill provides
for imposition Of corporations, joint
stock companies excise tax of two
per cent on net income would bring
the annual revenue, he estimates, at
twenty-five million dollars. ssThisS
is tax on a privilege, not on prop
erty," he says, . and is within the
federal power without apportion-s
ment according to population" The.
president points out another merit
in federal supervision which will give
five government ockholders public
knowledge of the real business and
gains profits to every corporation in
the country The amendment will
make a long step, he says, toward
that supervisory control OF corpo-
rations which may prevent fur
ther abuse ot4power."
His message to congress placed
the tariff in the background tempor-
arily today. The message was re-.
ferred to the committee on finance.
A full senate was present and the
document was given close attention.
Senator Gore attempted to have
the committee report on income tax
feature ON Friday. The motion was.
voted down and for the first time In,
many weeks and on strictly party
lines all republicans voted toytable;
the motion and all democrats against
it.
The senate adopted the finance COM
mittee's recommendations regard
Ing the admission OF Philippine pro-
ducts since the schedule received
the major portion OF the attention
during the afternoon. Senator Gug-s
genheimer advocated even high
er rate than that recommended by
the committee.
Senator'S Borah. Bristow. Cum
minis. Lafollette and Clapp held
conference tonight to determine their
attitude on the income tax amend
ment tothe tariff bill in face OF
Taft's message. 1t was decided that
Taft's plan was not Inconsistent
with the demands for the amend
ment taxing incomes, and that both
may be adopted in harmony. They
assume that Taft's plan will be In.
dorsed by the leading republicans on
the finance committee and is designed
to "chloroform" the income tax
amendment and they announce they
will continue to fight for It's adop-
tion. x r

Obstacles to a Central Bank.

new 1Ork BOSt.
Prof o. NJ. w. Sprague Of Harvard
University has summed up in a recent
number Of the Quarterly Journal Of Econ
omics certain salient difficulties in the
way OF the plan proposed, which run
against even Mr. Reynolds scheme Of
operation In general they have to to
do with the inevitable and possibly awk-
ward concentration OF reserves in a
country OF such magnificent distances as
ours; with the sectional protests which
would certainly be aroused by concentrat-
ing in one place deposits of surplus pub
lie moneys, drawn by taxation from "a
thousand separate localities and with
the difficulty Of earning even a moder-
ate profit under the severe restrictions
laid down for its banking business. We
may suggest another weighty considera-
tion-namely: whether, even under Mr..
Reynolds precautions for adminstra-
tions, such central bank would serve
the purpose OF restraining excited trade
and speculation through arbitrary raising
OF the prevalent discount rate. or wheth-
er the tendency would be TO ease the
path of banks whose own operations
were helping financial and industrial in
hation.

MUCH CORN; LITTLE SCOTCH
American Product Used in Making
Whisky.

WASHINGTON Sept 22.-American
corn is used more extensively than that
OF any other country in the manufacture
OF Scotch whisky when the price is rea-
sonable. Consul ]. N. McCunn, Of Glas-
gov. received a communication from the
most extensive users OF American corn
in Scotland. IN which they estimate the
total consumption Of corn used in their
country in the manufacture Of whisky
to be about "3soOoO quarters OF $50
pounds each"
II is not TO be understood. they say,
that this total comes wholly from North
America because the price OF the latter
corn now IS so high that large quanti-
ties OF European and Plata corn are be-
ing imported. However, so far as this
company is concerned" they continue,
I'VE always use the American quality
when the price is suitable"
During the year 1908 the total imports
Of Scotch whisky into tho United States
amounted 10 $i,SO9,SoO. Of which 1886, $50
worth came from the consular district
OF Glasgow.

of the county will not benefit by the additional
influx of their coin into the Sheritfs pocket. If
money were judiciously expended on good roads
the taxpayers would be getting something tan
gible. But alas that doesn't suit the purpose
of the Kent County Levy Court Why should
the Democrats be given control OF the Court,
henchmen may ask, if no one Is to get ANY
ceed to let the Sheriff have little more. But
some Democrats think this is playing bad kind
of politics.
All the Democratic promises during the cam
pagn were mouthings of economy that would
be practiced, and yet such promises seem to
have been forgotten.
The Democratic City Council in Wilmington
increased salaries almost before the Councilmen
had been seated in their chairs. Now we have
the Democratic Levy Court OF Kent pushing
the sheriff's compensation up peg or two. But
the Democrats make some sort of defense They
say they arc not any worse than the Republi-
cans were and they recite some stuff about the
Republican levy Court of Kent. But isn't
that lame kind of excuse, even admitting for
the sake of argument that the Republican Levy
Court did some things that could not be com
mended? The Democrats were to show us
improvement and they have not done so.
The real cause of the irritation among the
Democrats over the act of the Levy Court is
that the Democrats know their hope of success
next year depends upon fine administration
of city and county affairs. Some Of the saints
have imagined that they could lead the Demo-
Gratis in office along the pleasant paths of civic
and political rcctitude They have attempted
to create a fictitious. an unreal Democratic
party, a party sworn to high ideals of political
reform Naturally, when their figure of the
imagination vanishes. they become distressed
and disturbed. Sad for them, but true.

A GOOD MAN GONE.

He death of Governor Johnson, of Minneso-
4 ia, will cause widespread regret. In many
respects the Governor was a remarkable man.
Three times he was chosen chief magistrate Of
his state-a state which is strongly Republican
by the Democrats. Mr.. Johnson had so great
a hold upon the affections of his people that It
was impossible for the Republicans to defeat
him. During the last national campaign he at
tracted national notice and doomed for the
Democratic nomination for President
Colonel Watterson, of Louisville, put him on
the national stage. But the canvass in behalf of
the Governor was begun too late to be effective
against Mr.. Bryan. Governor Johnson won
and held the respect OF men of all parties IN
Minnesota. He was a clean man, fine type of
an American who rose from humble circum-
stances to hold an exalted position Such men
cannot well be spared from our public life.
