The Tax and Corporation Control.

&AN 80 aA W.
when the corporation income tax
feature OF the tariff law was first
proposed, President Taft urged that
It's value would be more from the reg
ulation and supervision exercised by
the government on the foundation Of
the publicity required than from It's
proceeds as a rel producer. II any
evidence we're needed that the presi-
dent laid more stress on this side Of
the proposed tax than on its treasury
filling possibilities, It will be remem-
bered that the rate, first tentatively
fixed at two per cent, was later re-
duced, with his approval, to one per
cent. The best informed authorities
seem to think even now that the reve-
nue. producing capabilities Of the new
tax on corporation net earnings have
been greatly underestimated, and that
while no one can make accurate or
even approximate predictions, the pro-
ceeds Of this tax will be greatly in ex-
cess Of what was expected when 1t was
incorporated into the law.
Recent Developments in connection
with the federal corporation tax indi-
cate that the big corporation lawyers,
and the great corporation magnates.
have come to agree with the presi-
dent that the amount Of the tax is of
less consequence than the ~far-reaching
control II gives federal authorities
through the power conferred on them
to check up and verify the returns
made by the various corporations
showing their capitalization, indebted
ness, receipts and expenditures. Sew
eral national organizations incorpo-
rated to promote cooperation in GER
tain lines Of industry which would
have to pay merely a nominal sum as
a tax have been advised by their at
~torneys that the best thing for them ia
do is to divest themselves Of their
corporate character in order TO avoid
making the required returns. A bis
industrial concern In Chicago likewise
has taken steps to relinquish It's char.
ter with the explanation that the stock
is all held by the chief owner and he
can do business just as we'll in his OWL
individual capacity without being un
der compulsion to divulge the inside o.
its financial operations. The example
thus set is naturally attracting genera
attention, and may be expected to have
numerous imitators.
All this goes to prove that the pres
ident was eminently correct in hi
original declaration that the publicity
and regulation features Of the fedora
corporation tax law would be the rea
step in advance toward the assertion
Of federal authority ove menacinl
corporations. This law will doubles
have to run the gauntlet of the court
for a test of its constitutiOnAlity, bu
should It be upheld as l~egitimatel.
within the congressional ~prerogative
as many eminent lawyers think it will
be, 1t will make the corporation form
Of doing business stand for something
more than 1t does now on the scale o
commerce and industry.

HEAVEN.
Wilbur d. Nesbit.

What do you think that heaven may be? -
The nearer answered with a smile:
"A place where folks like you and me
May hear sweet music all the while.
Where roses bloom and birds will sing
And silver streams plash in the shade,
With naught but Joy in everything
OF these, / know, is heaven made"
What do you think that heaven may be- p
The mother answered: "'Tis a land
Where all mine own may be with me
And where, too, I may understand
The lonRings OF the little hearts
And find my happiness complete
In soothing with a mothers arts
The weary little hearts and feet
What do you think that heaven may be?
The old man answered with a sigh:
A cot beneath a spreading tree
That lowers ever green and high,
And never weariness nor strife
But just a comfort calm and blest
Such as we may not have in life
A folding Of the hands In rest"
What do you think that heaven may be?
o Why, IL would be of little worth
Were IL not given for us TO see
Some pNu1hRs OF II here on earth:
II thrOugN oa6 moments and the years
Ne could hoa bring its radiant glow
light our smiles and dry the tears

A Wise Move By
Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber Of Commerce is
taking wise and progressive action
in sending its secretary, Mr.. Water
man. as a delegate to the Association
Of Southern Commercial Secretaries
which will meet in Atlanta next week.
The Journal advocated such action
some time ago, calling attention to
the great value Of the information 10
be gained through listening to and
participating in the many subjects to
be discussed, and the impetus toward
increased activity in promoting Pen
sacola's interests which must inevita-
bly, follow intercourse with the lead
ing commercial spirits Of various
southern cities.
It would certainly be a good thing
il our Merchants Association should
also send its secretary as delegate,
as Mr.. Waterman suggested in an
interview published in yesterdays
Journal. And, as he likewise sug-
gested, the city's business men in
general would, no doubt, be highly
entertained and learn much Of value
should q committee of them attend
the convention. They would certain
ly largely increase the chances of
Pensacola's securing the meeting OF
the association next year, which Mr.,
Waterman declares he means to make
an effort to accomplish.

of us have designed and built school
buildings in other cities Why have
we not been asked TO compete in this
matter? The school board can I'M

Other Cities Are Watching
This City's Anti-Fly Crusade

That the crusade against the filthy
and dangerous housefy by The Jour
nal and health authorities in Pensa-
cola, has attracted wide attention
throughout the state has been evil
denced by the attitude of the press
from which we have extracted and
published many references to the
work being done here. The follow
ing from the st. Augustine Record is
an example of press notices and will
be gratifying to those who like to
feel that the Deep Water City is in
the lead on all matters of public i'm
portance.
Pensacola's sanitary department is
to be congratulated on setting SRch an
excellent example to the rest of the
state in dealing with the housefly
pest. After a thorough campaign of
education the people Of Pensacola
now know what serious danger turks
in the presence of the detestable
housefy and they are taking the
necessary steps to fight the pest.
Those who are dilatory in acting are
being reminded Of their public duty
by the police. Just a few days ago
notices were served upon proprietors
of places of business where the flies
are wont to congregate that the new
screening law must be rigidly OBJ
served. Hotel dining rooms, restau-
rants, bakeries. meat markets, stables
| and places where flies can breed,
must use wire screens. Already the
police have been insisting on the OBJ
servance of the law, several arrests
proving that the health authorities
mean business. 1t is likely other
| cities in Florida will soon follow Pen
| saeola's splendid example.
1t is evident that the eyes of all
are upon US, and our respect for the
| city's good name should compel us to
make the fight a success. And not
| only that: but upon what we accom-
plish here in the matter of fly exter-
mination will largely depend the
energy with which other cities will
go about the same work for the pres
| ervation Of the public health.
