peeember Apple ExposItIon.

Denver.4The officers and directors
of the Colorado National Apple Expo
sition. to be held in Denver in De.
cember Of this year. have decided that
as an additional attraction to the ap-
pie show a national potato show will
be held, says the Republican.
The plans for the apple exposition
call for a premium list that will ex.
ceed $685. 900 in value and the addition
Of the potato show means that at least
$4,000 will have to be added to the
premium list. The exposition is at
tanning vast proportions and it is now
doubtful II the Denver Auditorium will
be large enough to hold the combined
apple and potato show. II not, tenn
porary structure will be arranged for
and the exhibits of farming machinery
for growing potato and apple crops
will be placed in this building.
The Denver & Rio Grande, the Mid
land and the Colorado & Southern
were all sounded on the proposition
and expressed great enthusiasm
and all agreed to assist to the extent
Of their ability in making the affair a
grand national affair.
Clinton l.. Oliver, secretary of the
apple exposition, has started work on
the potato exposition and hopes to
create an interest that will make the
potato show and the apple show the
greatest affairs of the kind ever held.
Mr.. Oliver said: Colorado grows the
finest apples and potatoes in the
world, and II any other section of the
country thinks otherwise they will be
given an opportunity to show us at the
exposition this winter. Our purpose in
making these expositions national in
scope was to give us chance to show
what Colorado can do In competition
with the rest OF the world. We had
figured on 100000 visitors to tho apple
show, but now with the potato show
added l think the gates will register
10000"

ATTORNEY GENERAL WICKER
SHAM PREPARING DRAFT OF
NEW LAW.
OPTIMISTIC
THINKS THE BIG CORPORATIONS
WOULD PAY TWO PER CENT.
TAX WITHOUT EVASION.

Washington-Mr Taft is decidedly
optimistic over the outlook for his
corporation tax, but number of SEN
ators who called at the White House
Monday declared that the proposition
would keep the Senate in session un-
til long past August LIST.
Senator Elkins was one Of the call
ers and declared he and others would
have some remarks to make in the
Senate when the new scheme of tax
alton is considered Mr. Elkins be-
lieves all corporations would attempt
to avoid payment OF the tax.
President Taft. on the other hand.
does not believe that two per cent.
to make any of the larger corporations
resort to evasive measures. AS to
bonds, it is possible. the President
feels, to provide a limit for the issu-
ance OF such securities based on the
capital stock, that will prevent cor
porations from transferring all their
securities into bonds. the interest on
which Is paid from gross earnings.
Some provision may be made as to
the issuance of bonds in the future tc
provide that the interest shall be paid
only from net earnings.
Attorney General Wickersham and
Senator Root are Jointly preparing
draft Of the new law.
Questions as to the constitutionality
of the proposed tax do not disturb the
President. The right to impose such a
tax has been distinctly upheld in a
case before the Supreme Court-that
of Spreckels vs. the United States.
If an income tax were passed, in
be secured. because Of the Supreme
Court decision declaring unconstitu-
tional former act Of this character.
1t would be years before any collec-
tons could be made under such a tax
even II the court finally reversed its
self.
The President does not believe there
As any immediate emergency to stop
collection Of corporation taxes. The
courts must presume it to be consti-
tutional under decisions Of the past;
hence no Injunction wNuld issue.
There seems now to be little doubt
but that the corporation tax ss passed
will exempt earnings Of 5000 and
less. SO as to take any undue burdens
off the smaller corporations. This is
the understanding at the White House.
The collection of the proposed cor
poration tax would be under the direc-
tion of the Internal Revenue Bureau
and, while additional inspectors and
other employees would be necessary. it
is not believed any added authority
would be required. The internal reve-
nue. authority would act In harmony
with the Bureau OF Corporations OF
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor. and 1t would fall to the latter bu-
reau to keep an eye on the corpora
tions as to any evasive measures they
might adopt The method of collection
would be similar to that employed in
collecting the whisky tax.
Finishing touches will be put on the
amendment at White House confer
ence. President Taft will supervise
the work personally.
