c. H. Pettis' candy store came very
near being the scene of a fire Tuesday
evening, and the only thing which pre-
vented was the fact that it was dis
covered in season. The attention of
Night officer Hamilton and James
Getchell was attracted by the smell of
smoke, which was, also noticed by the
young lady clerk at the store, and upon
an investigation being made a small
fire was found to be in progress where
two wires which led to the ice cream
room in the basement came in over
window. An attempt to put out the
fire with water failed and word was
sent to Herbert Brown, who came over
and cut the wires. Owing to the rain
beating in about the wires the effect
crossing them was produced and in
this way the fire started.

There is no doubt that the president
Is convinced of the wisdom of such an
amendment, but he has not fully de-
cided as to whether he will take the
responsibility of urging action through
special message or will simply find
opportunity to press the measure by
means of personal interviews with
senators and members of the house.
Not only is the president favorable
to such an amendment because of the
added revenue it would produce but
much more so on account of the fact
that he believes it would bring about
a helpful and healthy degree of pub
licity relative to the affairs of the
corporation of the country. This he,
as we'll as many of his advisers, be-
lieve would be reform which would
produce great satisfaction to the peo-
pie at large, and at the same time give
the business corporations a standing
which otherwise it would be impossi-
BILE for them to attain. This benefit
to the corporations. it is urged, would
arise from the fact that it would in
a way stamp upon them the approval
of the national government, and SEN
timentally, if not legally, supply the
federal endorsement which it is be-
lieved would not only increase their
credit with domestic investors, but
with the owners of foreign capital.

Power
WANT TWO PER CENT TAX
ON CORPORATIONS INCOME
Says Income Tax Might Be Indispen.
sable in Crisis in the Nations Life
and Refers to the Supreme Court
Decision.

Washington, June 16.-Recommend-
ing legislation looking to the placing
Of two per cent tax on the net in
come of corporations and also the
adoption of an amendment to the con-
stitution providing for the imposition
of an income tax without an appor-
tionment among the several states,
President Taft today sent to congress
a message embodying his views on
the subject. This action followed a
protacted special meeting OF the
cabinet. In his message the president
speaks of the apparent inability Of
congress to agree to an Inheritance
tax and as regards an income tax he
refers to the decision of the supreme
court in the case of Pollock VS.. Farm
ers Loan and Trust company in which
the court held the tax to be uncon-
stitutional unless apportioned accord
ing to population. 1T is," says the
president, undoubtedly power
which the government ought to have.
1t might be indispensable to the ma
tion's life in great crisis" An
amendment therefore, he declared,
was Ci1O ollS pIopCl SouISC. 0uSu
an amendment to the constitution, he
contended, was preferable to the one
proposed of reviving.
The amendment which he proposes
should be made to the tariff bill pro-
vides for the imposition upon all cor
porations and joint stock companies
for profit, except national banks
otherwise taxed, savings banks and
building and lean associations of an
excise tax of two per cent on the net
income of said corporations. This, it
is estimated by him, will bring an
annual revenue of $25,0OO,000. This
is tax on privilege and not on prop
erty," he says. 'and is within the fed
eral power without apportionment ac-
cording to population
The prisedtn points out that anoth-
er merit to the tax on corporations is
the federal supervision which will
give the government. the stockholders
and the public knowledge of the real
business transactions and gains and
profits of every corporation in the
country. The adoption of the amend
ment. he says, will make long step
towards that supervisory control of
corporations which may prevent fur
ther abuse of power.

the crown has strong case against
him. The suspect is farm laborer.
This arrest follows long term of
uphill work by the city and provincial
police, who have been following in
Vulnerable blind trails. A month ago
it was first learned that Hornfeck
might know more of the murder than
he was given credit for and he was
questioned, but his answers were such
that no charge was laid against him.
Others swnb knew him. including the
farmer whom he worked for, were of
the opinion that he knew nothing of
the affair, further than that he had
