 humiiated, he said.

 there should be no objection on the part of Dr. Hankison along that line, in view of the fact that bankers, min

CORPORATE TAXATION AND
 SUPERVISION

President Taft's plan of employing tax on corporations as a means of enforcing certain re- qurements relating to publicity of corporate affairs, thus taking the first step toward Feder- al supervision of corporations, recalls the rec. concentrations of the industrial commission on the taxation of corporations, wherein the sub Ject of taxation was considered in connection with regulation of corporations and the mitiga tion of monopolistic evils.
 That the two objects might very we'll be sought in conjunction had been suggested by students of public finance, notably by Henry C. Adams, the statistician of the interstate com merce commission, who long ago pointed out that the control of corporations and their taxa ton might reasonably be expected to work to- gether. The idea is, of course, simply devel opment of the commonly accepted doctrine that the taxing power of governments may be used not only for fiscal purposes, but also to attain any other desirable end within governmental competence. If corporations may be taxed the tax may be made the means of regulation or control so far as that may be necessary equtab- ly to levy the impost.
 This Is what MT. Taft proposes, and there is no doubt that the proposal is both fscally and economically sound
 The members of the industrial commission thought it would be competent for congress- in the exercise of it's undoubted power over inter- state commerce, to levy franchise tax on cor porations engaged in interstate commerce. It is clear, they say, that the power to regulate in terstate commerce "may be used for the pur- pose of raising revenue, and incidentally for the purpose of preventing any injury to the public"
 Congress may, therefore, in addition to levy ing tax, impose conditions which would pre- vent many corporate abuses. In the collection
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-07-01

of information requisite for the imposition of the tax, the government would of necessity be compelled to demand detailed annual reports showing the nature and extent of corporate business as well as the capital stock, bonded and other indebtedness, and the profits and loss es of the corporations taxed That this en- forced disclosure of affairs heretofore shroud ed in secrecy, even though the reports should not be made public, would exercise deterrent effect upon corporate rascaity was the iudg- ment of the commission. Mir. Taft evidently holds like view as to the efficacy of corporate reports to the government
 The presidents plan differs in an important particular from that of the industrial commis sion. Mr. Taft includes in his excise tax on net incomes all corporations, whereas the commits sions' idea was to impose tax only on corpor- ations doing an interstate business. It may be added that, in this respect, Mr. Tafts plan differs from all that have heretofore been brought forward looking to the federal super vision of corporations. If now, by perfectly legitimate and effective system of taxation,' 7 says the president in his recent message we are incidentally able to possess the government and the stockholders and the public of the knowledge of the real business transactions and the gains and profits of every corporation in the country, we have made long step toward that supervisory control of corporations which may prevent a further abuse of power'' Fed. eral supervision of corporations, then, so far as necessary for the purpose of taxation, accord ing to the Taft plan will extend to every cor poration in the United States, whether doing business wholly within the boundaries of a state or engaging in interstate commerce
 Mir. Taft's plan is thus the most comprehen- sive scheme for corporation regulation hitherto presented, and in adopting it the finance com mittee of the senate puts itself in accord with the progressive, not to say radical, sentiment of the land.

MORNING CHIT-CHAT
A Bargain Deal in Happiness

Do you want to know very cheap way in which to buy some of a commodity that ire quently comes very dear!
 Do you want to know of bargain pur- chasable from now to October right in the town or city where you live?
 In short, do you want to buy some happl- ness at a marvelousIy reasonable rate9 Then listen.
 In every city of the United States are many thousand children who will spend this summer playing on hot streets and III filthy alleys, who are going to grow pale and wan by the tens of thousands and die by the thou sands
 These, strangely enough, are the mer- chants who will sell you happiness at bar gain.
 And this is the way you can buy it from them:
 If you live i'll the country or at the sea shore, or even in suburban town, and can somehow make room for two or three chil- dren for two or three weeks, or for q single kilddie for a single week, send to the city for some big-eyed, pale-dheeked baby and I'll promise you that in the contemplation of his joy you will find more happiness for your self than you could buy for three times the sum it will cost you.
 Now, isn't that bargain9
 If you live in the city, some afternoon or some Sunday invite the little bootblack that shines your shoes, and the boy that sells you your paper every morning and the pathetic little bundle girl that picked up your hand kerchef for you so prettily one day; or if you have less of the spirit of adventure, ask some home to loan you two or three forlorn little kitldies for day, and take them with you on the most glorious picnic you can af- ford.
 prominent business man who has been tied to the city by the cares of new and rapidly growing business, for three years past has taken his vacation by conducting one hundred children from an orphan asylum on the most gorgeous picnic money could buy. He says he gets more happiness in that one day than he ever got out of his week or two at some expensive summer resort in the years when he took his vacation straight in- stead of vicariously. Last year l went with him. l never saw any happier children than those hundred and yet, he was the happiest child of all
 Why not give your money straight out to some fresh-ar fund instead of going to all that bother, you askG
 Because, in that case you wouldn't get that bargain supply of happiness and then you wouldn't do 1t over every year for the rest of your life as you will probably do if you try my plan.
