Hob Incomes Would be
Taxed BY Cun1nins Bill.
Observation-Disclosures

WASHINGTON April Ex-senator
Cummins today introduced his amend
ment to the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill,
providing for graduated income tax,
which he believes would produce $40,-
100000 revenue. Mr.. Cummins pointed
out that it differs In some important
particulars from either the law of 1894
or the amendment offered by Senator
Bailey. 1t exempts incomes below SIS, 900
and authorizes rhe deduction of that
amount from every dutiable income.
The rate provided for is as follows:
The Tax Rates.
Upon incomes not exceeding $4,000,
per cent; not exceeding $4,000, 21s
per cent; not exceeding $4,000, 3 per
cent; not exceeding 100000. si5 per
cent; not exceeding $4,000, per cent.
not exceeding 100000, per cent; upon
all incomes exceeding 100000, 6 per
cent.
Mr.. Cunmins believes that the gradu-
ated tax SO provided for will produce a
somewhat less revenue than a fiat tax
of 3 per cent. The duty is to be levied
only upon individual incomes. He
treats corporations as mere instru-
fmentalities for individual profit and the
chief reason for not including corpora
tions is that to put a tax upon the in
comes of corporations is to tax those
who are stockholders of the corpora
tions, but whose total incomes would
not reach $1,000, precisely as though
they had dutiable incomes
Explains Plan.
This would be the result with fiat
rate: but he points out that when the
graduated tax is employed it is obvious
that the individual income can alone
be considered; otherwise" he says
the man with, the lowest dutiable in
come would, insofar as 1t is derived
from corporation. oftentimes bear the
maximum rate levied upon the highest
incomes
In presenting the resolution to the
Senate Mr.. Cummins said that If any
tax were levied on corporations it would
be extremely difficult to classify the
corporations to meet the requirements
of the constitution. He declared that
a graduated income tax on corporations
would result In great corporations pay
ing the highest rate, although their
stock might be largely held by men Of
small means. In that way the result
might be to place the highest tax on
men Of small means.

SOUTH ORANGE
ELECTION NOW
APPEARS CLOSE
Most Excitin0 Campaign Village
Has Had Is at Its
Height.
DOMINANT PARTY
MAY BE OVERTHROWN
Ira A. Kip, Jr., and Charles E.
Souther Are Opposing
Heads of Tickets.

The eyes of the county, politically
speaking. are turning just now on South
Orange village, little but wealthy.
where the only. spring election to be
held in the State will take place shortly.
The excitement in the village is at
fever heat, and it is all due to the fact
that if the Peoples party elects only
one man on the board of trustees 1t
will mean the overthrow of the Citi-
zens party, which has been in control
for ten years.
The election will be held under a spe-
cial law passed three years ago. That
law allows villages to select their Off
GERS during April. There are only two
villages in New Jersey, and the other
one is dead--at least it has no village
government, although the name is on
the map. 1t is Alaire and it is prac-
ticalIy deserted.
A Hot Fight.
Every year about the time that
trees begin to wear green, all sorts of
excitement starts up in South Orange.
The Peoples and the Citizens parties
set out to get each others scalps. They
hold political rallies every night, and
this year the Citizens party, which is
mostly composed of the well-to-do resi-
dents of the village, has secured the
services Of the Princeton Glee Club.
This has proved to be great attrac-
ton, and has brought out such big
crowds that the opponents are panicky.
The showdown will be next Tuesday.
when the election takes place.
The, South Orange Village govern
ment consists of president and a
board of trustees Of six. The president
has no vote. excepting in the case
of a. tie. and, as the Peoples party
last year succeeded in electing three
trustees for two years, they need only
elect one more now to overthrow the
Citizens party. The three elected last
year were Henry B. Halsey, John r.
Weeks and Louis v. Blanchet. Mr..
Halsey died recently, and his place will
be filled by the party which gets in.
. Registration Increase.
Yesterday was registration day, and
there was an increase of eighteen over
the registration last year. The village
was divided into three districts instead
of two, as heretofore, and the regis
trstion figures were:

Local Racing Events in Deco

In the sweet name of charity it is
expected that a large crowd will wit
ness the six-hour motor races to be
held at Ascot park on Decoration day.
The receipts from this derby will go
bodily to the Orphans home, and it
now looks as if close to $4,000 will be
realized for the purpose.
The entries for the event closed yes
terday noon and a good-sized field will
be represented in both classes, one
class being for cars costing about $4,000
and the other for cars sailing under
that figure. Something over $500 seats
have already been sold at 81, while
many of the auctioned seats have sold
for $40 and at other figures in that
neighborhood.
Leon Z. Shelter is acting as clerk
of the race and has been busy all week
in securing entries. Among these en-
tries is noted the Lozer, which makes
it's first appearance in local races, and
its work will be watched with much
interest. The race viii start promptly
at 10 o'clock in the morning and will
be concluded at p. M, the car hay
ing the largest mileage in the respec-
tive classes being declared the win
ner. Cups will be hung UP for the
winners in both classes, these cups
now being on exhibition~at the Leon
T. Shelter garage on North Grand
avenue.
The entries follow:

he was well within his schedule, it is
said, up to the Casidas, when he ran
into a bad place and was stuck for
over an hour, coming into Los Angeles
an hour and eight minutes too late to
lift the cup. He returned to San

and it is not unlikely that he will again
be heard from in new effort in the
near future.
The Thomas and the Stearns are both
after it, and for the past few days a
constant lookout has been kept for the
Thomas to appear in this city, but up to
s o'clock last night no tidings had been
heard from 1t. 1t was given out that
the Thomas started yesterday morn
ing and had been compelled to stop.
The start is generally made from
San Francisco at o'clock in the morn
ing, with the first streaks of light, and
it is necessary to reach this city by
S:16 p. m. to lift the cup.
Col Fenner says if anyone finally
succeeds in wrestling the cup away
from the White that his company viii
probably proceed to take it away from
the successful one.

willing to do, when confronted with
some Loeomobile money. The race was
made yesterday to San Diego and re
turn and Blanchard won the race so
easily that he declared afterward that
it was a shame to take the money.
Blanchard drove one-cylinder Baby

the race aroused much local interest,
The actual running time over the trip
was twelve hours and thirty Eight
minutes and the total elapsed time was
thirteen hours and forty-four minutes.
Blanchard says it was hard ride,

NOT A PEEP IS
HEARD OF RACE
STEARNS HAS DROPPED ALL
RACE TALK
Last Ray of Hope of Race Has Glim=
mered Unless Pacific Coast Rep
resentative Warren Can Re-
vive 1t Later

Not a peep had been heard from the
Stearns camp regarding a race with
the Locomobile. Leavitt, the Southern
| California representative of the latter
car, has gone east, but has left all
matters regarding racing in the hands
of local attaches of the garage, but the
latter have not been approached from
any angle by the Stearns, who, few
weeks ago, were advertising the fact
that they had $4,000 to bet on their car
against the car that defeated them six
weeks ago at Ascot.
| 1t is said around LocomObile quar-
tiers that a frigidity of very icy ma
ture is noticeable as the members of
the Stearns camp pass and repass in
their cars, with a decided tendency on
the part of the latter to turn their
heads and look in the other direction,
rather than to keep up the civilities
any longer.
Pacific Coast Representative War
rem, headquartering at San Francisco,
is said to be much dissatisfied with the
outcome of the negotiations between
the Locomoble and the Stearns and
Is said to have expressed the intention
of coming to Los Angeles in the near
future for the sole purpose of taking a
hand in the matter in an effort to re-
store the Stearns to better face in
the eyes of the public.
So far as the public generally is con-
cerned, it has come to the conclusion
that the Stearns has crawfshed out of
very embarrassing position, having,
at the time of the defeat of the
Stearns by the Locomobile, promised
to meet the latter in 500-mile race
and then having very suddenly and
with no explanation reversed its posi-
ton. Leavitt has always claimed that
the Stearns did not dare go the dis
lance of 500 miles in high speed COM
petition with the 1ocomobile and has
mint of money to wager that he can
beat the Stearns, but the last hope
seems to have gone glimmering.

N ECENT efforts made for the rec

said to be Immediately in contempla-
ton by any number of gasoline cars,
bring to mind the many score of eff
forts that have been made in the past
few years to lift the two challenge
cups now held by the White steamer.
These cups are the one put up by Fer
nando Nelson, rich motor enthusiast
of San Francisco, and one known as
the Hawkins cup, the latter of which
is shown above.
over fifty attempts are known to
have %been made for this record, it is
said, since the White steamer estab-
-lished it, and every one of them has
failed to come within the mark, While
how many score of attempts have been
made and failed that are not known 1t
is impossible to say.
1t is said that one particular car
alone has made sixteen Intellectual tries
for the record and the much coveted
cup. in a number of which attempts
the racer has gone into the ditch be-
fore the end of the long journey has
been reached, and it is perhaps not an
exaggeration to say that the course is
more or less strewn with the wreckage
of many different kinds of cars.

THOMAS STARTS BUT
FAILS TO END RACE
Last Reported at San Jose After Hour
and a Half of Running, but
Nothing Further Has
Been Heard

SAN JOSE, May 22.-From San Fran
cisco to San Jose in one hour and
twenty-five minutes was the time made
by NJ. A Brasset today in his auto
mobile on his way to Los Angeles,
which place he is endeavoring to make
in sixteen hours from San Francisco.
He is accompanied by Henry Hubert
and Kirk Simpson, the latter represent
ing the Associated Press.
The foregoing is the latest report
received up to a late hour last night
regarding the endeavor of the Thomas
Flyer to annex the San Francisco-Los
Angeles record, held by the White
steamer. 1t was known on the streets
early yesterday that the Thomas had
started and many eyes have been
focused on the attempt, because of the
more or less positive statements that
have been made by the Thomas to get
this record whenever that car should
go for it again. Later in the after
noon there were limitations that some
thing had gone wrong with the
Thomas, in circles most likely to know,
and at the hour last evening when it
should have arrived at the official fin
ish point, at the corner of Broadway
and First, if the first leg record was
to be broken, no sign of the Would-pe
record breaker was to be seen.
