will shoot; if you don't buy him rifle or shot
gun he will buy one himself with the first mon
ey he earns, and is liable to buy cheap one
becaussthe can't wait until he gets money
enough to buy good one. The result is that
sometime he will have an accident. If you get

TIE lords IN THE BALANCE.

There will he surprise and some re-
gret among disinterested spectators at
the reported determination of Lord
I.ansdOwne TO move on Monday next
the rejection of the pending budget 10y
the House of Lords. There is no doubt,
we suppose. that his motion will he sup
ported by an overwhelming majority OF
the peers. Thereupon dissolution OF
Parliament will be ordered by the gov
ernment, and general election will oc-
cur few weeks hence, the fiscal needs
of the country being meanwhile pro
vided for by some temporary eXpedient.
There will Ice surprise at the action
Of the peers in thus abandoning a
strong aggressive ground and putting
themselves on the defensive. and not
only themselves as house, but also
the entire Conservative-Un UniOnist tariff
reform party. We have remarked upon
this apparent error in tactics. and our
London correspondent i'm his iluminat
ing letter in Wednesdays Tribune again

action will put the party at serious
disadvantage. 1t. will not be merely

fessedly sOcialistic tendencies. nor the

THE TAK AND THE CONSTITUTION.

An article 10y Mr.. Charles W. PierSOn.
Of the New York bar. i'm the current
Outlook" is Il strong challenge of the
cOnstimtiOnality Of the corporation tax
Mr.. PierSOn argues that the SprecKcls
case. which is relied upon 10 justify the
constimtiOnality of the new tax. by no
means meets the situation. since i'm the
Spreckels case it was held simply shat
a tax laid on the privilege OF doing buSi-
ness. and falling alike on corporations,
firms and individuals. was an excise tax
and within the power of Congress, while
this new tax does not fall uniformly
upon all persons engaged in business.
natural and artificial, but only on cor
pOrations.
Ii has not been decided that tax
falling On corporations alone is an excise
tax. Mr.. PierSon thinks that il is not
such tax. but really one upon the eX-
ercse of the corporate franchise and he
presents impressive arguments TO show
that il is not constitutiOnally possible
for Congress 60 tax franchises issued by
states. Substantially his contention is
this: The power To issue corporate fran
chIses is one of the rights of the states
ami Congress cannot take il away from
them. But the power To tax Involves The
power to destroy. If Congress can tax
the exercise of franchises granted 10y
states il can destroy the value of such
franchises and thus invade the sover-
eighty of the states 20 the extent Of -ren-
dering their power to issue corporate
franchises useless. Therefore Congress
has no power To tax the exercise by cor
poratiOns of franchises received from the
states. OF course, this conclusion ap-
plies only to corporations doing a strictly
intrastate business. for the corporations
doing an interstate business could I've
taxed under the power Of Congress 10
regulate that business.
The power of Congress To tax. and
therefore Ia destroy. the creature of a
state doing business solely within that
state has not been passed upon by the SUI
premc Court. hut Mr. PierSOn shows ilat
the court has denied the power of q state
10 tax franchise granted by the United
States. In the ease Of California agr.

u seems To us almost absurd To con
tend that a power given 10 "a person or
corporation by the United States is sub
jsCt To taxation by a state. The power
conferred emanates from and is pOr-
tiOn Of the power Of the government that
confers IL. To tax IL r. not only deroga-
tory 20 the dignity but subversive of the
powers Of IN" government and Tepue-
nsnt 20 its paramount sovereignty.

RARuT SSEN AND COOK

One Of the reasons advanced 10y Ras-

ing that Dr. Cook reached the pole is
derived from his faith in the familiarity
with maps possessed by ESquimauS
The Dane did not have a talk with tha
young men who accompanied Dr. Cook
after Cape Hubbard was left. hut he did
converse with other members of the
tribe. When Rasmussen showed them
