CORPORATION TAX JUST.

II this corporation tax law shall pass

stration that II we are 10 have construc-
tive legislation. we must not look 20 the
legislative department for II. for the ini-
uative-whether Il results in a 2 per cent
tax or genuine income tax-comes from
the Executive. The suggestion is Pres
ident Tafts- Congress had nothing to
do with the initiation.
corporation IS a public body. 10
which public powers are legislated by
law II cannot exist except by authority
OF the State. and with the states pro
lection. A number OF men form a cor
poration instead OF a partnership on ac-
count OF the advantages which may be
conferred by law. II anything should
make the partnership q more advan-
tageous form. there is nothing 10 pre-
vent transforming the business into a
partnership. But while the business pre-
fers 20 retain the advantages Of incOr-
poration, there is certainly nothing out
OF the way in making il pay reasonably

An AlIisnce for Evil.

An election in Charleston. S. c.. next
month involves the issue Of prohibition
as a substitute for the dispensary law.
II the dispensaries are closed the city
viii lose some S1ssOOO OF revenue, which
the taxpayers VIII be asked to make up in
some way. the only apparent method be-
ing by increased assessments. But there
is involved in the election more than the
possible loss Of revenue. There has been
formed curious but perhaps natural al
lance between the blind tigers and the
prohibiuonists. The Illicit sellers Of LIQUOR
evidently believe that their business
would be promoted BY a law that they
regard as impossible Of enforcement in
practice.
The situation is complicated by the in
cidental fact that all the liquor dispen-
saries in Charleston are TO be closed on
the first Monday in August. while the
election viii be held on the third Tues
day Of that month. Thus, during a Pc
riod Of two weeks the city will be con-
structively prohibition. The municipal au-
thorities have announced their intention
to make prohibition really prohibit dur
ing this interval But il is suggested
that their effort may need 10 be supple
mented by the thorough cooperation Of
State officials. In the meantime. an ear
nest effort is under way 10 arouse the
voting taxpayers 10 the gravity Of the sit
uation. This is coupled with the predic-
ton that il prohibition prevail il may be
long before the people will be able 10
obtain from the legislature a modification
Of the liquor law that may meet the Pc
culiar necessities Of the town. Under
these circumstances It would seem that
continuous and repeated demonstration Of
the abhorrent alliance between the rad
icaI prohibitionists and those who stand
behind the unlicensed sale Of liquor
ought 10 have the desired effect. The
good citizens OF Charleston have an op-
portunity TO demonstrate the power OF
wholesome public opinion when il is
aroused. kept awake, and induced 20 ex-
press its enlightened will az the polls.
