The Corporation Tax.

The new law picks out business enter
prises throughout the country having
nothing in common, except that they
are carried on as joint-stock companies,
and it levies federal tax Of per cent
upon their net earnings or incomes.
Hundreds of comparatively small bust
nesses which six months ago were con-
templating the plan of becoming incor-
porated under the laws of their re-
spective states will give up that idea
and remain as private firms or partner
ships. One hears of many others al
ready in the corporate form which are
thinking of relapsing to the status of
partnerships or unincorporated firms.
Among practical business men the diff
ference between an incorporated bust
ness and its rival which happens not to
be incorporated does not seem vital
enough to make it proper that one
should be subjected to a federal tax
and the other exempt.
But if this distinction be practically
unjust, it would seem still greater
improperly to exempt from taxation
an Incorporated enterprise which is car
rying on a large business, but does not
show profits, while subjecting to taxa
ton its rival doing business with like
capital and under exactly similar con-
ditions, but managed on its expense
side in such way as to permit the set
ting aside of a portion of the gross
earnings in the form of dividends or
net profits. The taking out Of net
profits under such circumstances is
purely a matter of business policy and
choice One dry goods store may de-
eide as a matter of policy for several
years to cover back all its receipts in
various expenditures, such as advertis-
ing, while it's rival for reasons Of its
own prefers to make advertising and
salaries smaller and to pay dividends
upon outstanding shares of stock. The
one institution is as able to pay taxes
as the other The only possible basis
for proper taxing Of corporations up
on any showing of their business con-
dition is upon their gross income. What
they do with that gross income in the
way Of fixed charges, current expenses,
and so on, is a matter for them to de-
eide. From Progress of the World

A Wordy Eruption.

Milwaukee News.
The eruption of Levi Bancroft, for
mer "reformer' and at present Steph
enson progressive conservative, at
the Seattle exposition has done little
credit to him or to the state Of Wis
consin.
A tumble of words, without sense or
reason, it strikes no responsive chord.
Lacking in wit, it is stupidity reaction
airy where it has the semblance Of ar
gument. Vituperative and designed to
besmirch the progressives that have
not abandoned their creed, it appears
more a confession than an indictment.
1t was a fortunate day for Mr. La
Toilette when Levi Bancroft departed

the cry Of the West against the East on
tariff lines, to find themselves patted on
the back by the New York Evening
