THE ORDINARY.
Several Machines Were in--Evcry-
body Anxious TO Get in the Picture
Large Crowd Was Present.


most interesting exhibition Of auto
mobile climbing on the State capitol
steps yesterday afternoon, and rs
photographs were taken. Of the event
the pictures will no doubt be featured
In the automobile trade jurnals of
the country.
A few nights ago there was a ten
tative attempt made to mount the
lower tier of steps leading to the first
landing by the driver Of an automo-
bile with. his machine and short
paragraph about 1t, appeared in The
State next morning.
This notice came to the attention
OF the manufacturers of the Maxwell
automobiles and they commissioned
their agents here. the Gibbes Machln-
cry Company. to secure the consent
o: the governor for an attempt to
make one OF their $3.50 Maxwell carr,
climb to the top Of the long flight
OF stone steps leading to the main
hall of the capitol
This permission sec6fed. the Gibbes
Machinery Company engaged Mr.. w.
l. blanchard, the photographer, to
take views oc the machine on the
steps. Yesterday at 8 o'clock was set
for the trial.
At the appointed time the Maxwell
appeared and also Mr.. Blanchard.
The fact that remarkable feat was
about to be attempted travelled fast
and a large crowd gathered to wit
ness II.
The little Maxwell bravely charged
the long steep flight Of stone steps
end travelled up, and up, until the
second terrace was reached where a
picture was taken. The purpose hav.
'ne been accomplished the Maxwell
retired. covered with the glory of
having probably been the first ma,
chine performing the feat of climb
Ing two long hiyhts or stone steps OF
the steepness OF those leading to the
massive stone columns at the top.
Fired by the example OF the Max
we'll car ascsissA driver Mr.. n. A. sJen-
kins essayed the feat with his big
model o touring car. Finding that
the car would not climb as far going
forwards. Mr.. Jenkins approached
the steps running backwards and
reached the second landing. The car,
heavy in itself. was loaded with ad-
venturous riders who wanted to ex-
perience the sensation of the trip, and
while II accomplished the second
landing. a driving shaft was wrench
| ed In the effort. Pictures were also
made OF this car at Its highest post
tion on the steps. An attempt was
made to negotiate the third flight oi
steps but the broken driving rod pre-
vented.
Then there appeared on the scene
the celebratd green Lyric" "S-year-
| old" REQ owned by Mr.. Rockefeller
This Is a two cylinder machine, and
Mr.. Rockefeller announced hh In.
tention OF going to the top.
The attempt was made and II look
ed as IL the machine was going to
! make good; and 1t did. According to
the statements OF some eyewitnesses
1t reached within a few steps of the
big columns, and Mr.. Rockefeller
Gays "it went to the top and turned
round and came down." The pic
lures Will show what the cars did
Mr.. Rockefeller says he will chal-
lenge all comers with two-cylinder
cars to a hill climbing contest with

TAX TO PAY s4s,o00,000.
THAT'S THE AMOUNT SENATE
HOPES TO REAP FROM
CORPORATIONS.
several Classes Exempted-IOdges~
Churches, Colleges, Etc, Will Not
Have to Pay-Trinity Church the
Subject Of Debate.

Washington. July 6.-Senators
were interested today i'm an estimate
or revenues to be derived from the
imposition of the 2 per cent. tax on
the net earnings of corporations. The
estimate was in the possession Of
senator Flint, who has charge of this,
corporation-tax feature. The esti-
mate is based upon the best figures
ontainable from the treasury DEPART
ment, the Interstate Commerce COM
mission and the department of COM
merce and labor. The total revenue
to be derived, according to the COM
putations, is $49.10S,040, of which
national banks will pay $2,662s,705s
savings banks, $529,507; other banks
end trust companies. s7S2,s05; rail-
roads. $S,9Ss,223; other corporations
s36,2OO,0O0.
A copy of this estimate has been
sent to President Taft. Some govern
ment experts believe the amounts
raised will be largely in excess of the.
sums named.
An amendment proposed by Sena-.
tor Burkett exempting beneficial So
cieties organized on the lodge princi-
pie from the operation of the corpora-
tion-tax provision of the tariff bilk.
precipitated a debate as to the exact.
form that such a provision shoulH
take in the senate today.
Senator Bacon thought the sugges-
ton Of the Nebraska senator was not
| p1cad enough. He offered far
reaching amendment relating to re-
lgious, charitable, educational and
fraternal associations, mutual insur-
ance companies and corporations
whose gross sales were less than
$250,000 annually.
| Trinity Church, of New York, was
brought prominently into the debate
by Senator Clark, Of Wyoming, who
said that that organization was not
OF a character to receive the exemp-
ton. 1t was, he said, engaged in rear
estate operations to an extent thar
wouid warrant its exclusion from. tha
provisions of the bill.
Defending the Trinity corporation.
Senators Depew and Root declared
that the organization used its funds
only for religious charities and educa.
tlonal purposes Mr.. Bacon added
that he did not think the mere fact
OF magnitude should be taken into
consideration in the matter of exemp-.
ton.
After considerable debafa .SS-
amendment was adopted exemptinp
from the tax labor organizations fra
ternai beneficiary societies, and or
CARNATIONS exclusively for rel;e,o,.,
charitable or educational purposes,

that the house was ruled by the ma
jority. He denied the speaker had the
powers of a cZar. He said the speaker
was controlled by the majority, es-
pecially at the time of his election.
He also said that an active majority
was an excellent thing in the house.
According to Mr.. Cannon, Senator
Cummins complained that no infor-
nation had been placed before con-
gress in the recent tariff revision. Mr..
Cannon remarked there had been car
loads of information for any one who
wanted to make use of it and added:
There has been no way discovered
by which information can be put in d
mans head without any industry on
his part"
A denial of the charges that he had
read either Senators LaFollette or
Cummins out of the Republican party,
was entered by Mr.. Cannon.
What 1 did say" said Mr.. Cannon,
'was that if Cummins or LaFollette
were Republicans, then l was not" In
speaking of Champ Clark, Mr.. Cannon
said: 1--WE all like Champ Clark, but
what he does not know. about ad
valorem duties, schedules and parlia-
mentary law would make a large Ii
brary. But he is an expert on chau
tauquas."
Mr. Cannon advised his hearers to
vote for the Democratic candidate,
Frank S. Ryan. if they decided not to
vote for Mr.. Moxley
