IT'S TO Be
THE DEVIL ,
Famous Production
To Be Played
First Night
OPEN ELKs OPERA HOUSE
People Of Santa Fe Expected
to Turn Out in Large
Numbers.

The advance agent Of the FL Renal
Stock Company which is to play at
the new opera house Of the Elks' on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, is
in town and the exact program for
the four performances has been ar
ranged. On the opening night the
famous and well known play called
"rhe Devil' will be produced This
play has met with great success
wherever given. Though its title is
somewhat misleading, it has the en-
dorsement of many ministers as be-
ing a moral play and one that teaches
valuable lesson. The management
is particularly anxious that local min
listers be on hand to see the play
The seat sale for this opening per-
formance is going on rapidly but there
are still a number of very choice
seats left and those who desire to at
tend should apply at Fischer's drug
store as early as possible. Every
thing at the opera house has been
comfortably arranged and all who
come to enjoy the plays will receive
all possible attention.
The play selected for the second
night is called The Princess of
Patches. On Saturday afternoon
a matinee will be given and the play
will be Utah. On Saturday even
ing "The Colorado Waif" will be
produced. The members of the Ell
Renal Stock Company all have splen.
did records and possess ability far
above the ordinary Each perform
ance will be we'll worth seeing and
every one in Santa Fe should try to
attend at least one play. Those who
attend will not only be providing
pleasure for themselves but will be
aiding a most praiseworthy cause, as
the Elks' will devote the proceeds to-
wards paying for the splendid monu-
ment which they have built for the
Ancient City.

ration I axes Were
Discussed
TARIFF DEBATE
The Nanticoke and Dispatch
Discovered Not to Be
Fllibusterers.

Washington, June 16.--Taft today
held special cabinet meeting which
Senator Root attended. 1t is inferred
that the meeting was called to obtain
the views of the cabinet as to the
Presidents proposed message to Con.
gress today regarding tax on the
earnings of corporations.
The Philippine Tariff.
Washington, June 16.-The Senate
today resumed its discussion of the
Philippine tariff, particularly as il
applied to the admission of sugar
Foster showed that the Hawaii ex.
ports of sugar increased from a
small quantity to more than 100000
tons last year; and the Philippines,
he said, would reach more than 300,-
900 tons, provided there is free en-
trance into the United States. He
said Americans would never be at.
tracted by the Philippines.
Not a Fiibuster.
Washington, June 16.-The mystery
surrounding the steamer Nanticoke
and the tug Dispatch, was cleared up
today when it was discovered by
agents of the state department that
the boats are not filibusters but were
recently purchased by the Venezuelan
government. The Department of
Justice has ordered it's agents ia
stop observations and return to
Washington.
Protest Against Parcels Post.
Delegate Andrews presented in the
House petition of business men OF
Roswell, Clovis, Artesia, Portales and
Carlsbad, praying that Congress take
unfavorable action on any parcels
post legislation offered.
Just Like Woman.
Washington ID. c., June 16-Mrs.
Taft, wife of the president, who suf-
fered severe nervous attack several
weeks ago, does not improve as rap
idly as her friends could wish. She
will remain in her room and her case
is proving more stubborn than was
at first expected.
Mrs. Taft has been urged to give
up Washington and go away for the
season without delay, but she does
not wish to do so.
Worry over her responsibilities as
headt of the White House when she
is not able to give them personal at
tention is said to be the chief reason
why her recuperation is slow.

TAFT SENDS
SPECIAL MESSAGE
Declares for Taxa
tien of Corpora
ton Incomes
MORE REVENUE NEEDED
Finance Committee Will
Meet Tonight to Frame
Amendment

Washington, D. c., June 1G-Taft
today sent the following message to
Congress on the subject of a tax on
corporations and income tax amend
ment: 'In my inaugural address
called attention to the necessity of a
revision of the tariff at this session
and stated principles upon which it is
thought a revision should be effected.
| referred to the increasing deficit and
pointed to the obligation of the franz
ers of the tariff bill to arrange for an
adequate income"
The decision in the income tax cas-
es takes from the government the
power which it was supposed the
government had. and is undoubtedly
a power the government ought to
have. | therefore recommend that
both Houses of Congress, by two
thirds vote propose an amendment to
the Constitution, comforting power
to levy an income tax, upon the ma
tonal government without apportion-
ment among the states according to
population. This is a much better
course than to re.enact a law once de-
clared unconstitutional. For Con-
gress to suppose the court will re-
verse itself and to enact legislation
on such assumption Is not to in
crease confidence in the stability of
the courts. 1t is said the difficulty
and delay in getting the consent of
three-fourths of the states will de-
stroy all chance of adopting the
amendment. While none can speak
with certainty on this point, ] be,
lieve the majority of the people favor
vesting the national government with
the power to levy an income tax.
With the decision in the Pollock case
leaving power in the national govern
ment to levy an excise tax which ac.
complishes the same purpose as a
corporation income tax, | therefore
recommend an amendment to the tar
if bill imposing on all corporations
and joint stock companies for profit
Except certain banks otherwise tax
ed) an excise tax measured by
per cent of the net income of such
corporations. am informed such
tax will bring a revenue of not less
than $25.OOOOOO.
Finance Committee Meets Tonight
Washington, June 16.-With the
understanding that the Taft message
on the subject of taxing the net
earnings of corporations and amend.
ing the Constitution so as to empow-
er Congress to levy a tax on in
comes, would be received by the Sen
ate today, Aldrich has called a meet
ing of the finance committee for to-
| night to consider both propositions
A number of Senators were at the
i White House this morning in confer.
ence with the President on the cor.
poration tax. 1t is not expected that
the proposed amendment taxing cor
porations' will be submitted with the
message but will be communicated
directly to the finance committee and
will emanate therefrom with the en-
dorsement Of the committee.
