Plan Proposed by National German
American Alliance.

Cincinnati, Oct. 5.-The National
German-Americal alliance, In biennial
convention here, discussed reports OF
various committees.
The peace committee, In setting
forth the principles of the alliance
with reference to the universal peace
movement of the world, declares In
favor of a federation of all nations,
based on a mutual guarantee Of their
independence and possessions and
against attacks Of the members, and
favors the furtherance of all interna-
tional agreements, treaties and con-
ventions which will establish uniform
legislation tending to the welfare Of

VIGOROUS ASSAULT
ON CORPORATION TAX
Street Railway Association Op-
poses Taft Measure.

Denver, Oct. 5.-Interviews with
officials of the big street railway and
interurban lines of the country, rep
resented at the convention of the
American Street Railway and Inter
urban Railway association, in session
here, indicate that vigorous assault
upon the corporation tax, proposed by
President Taft as an amendment to
the Payne tariff bill, will be a feature
Of the resolutions offered at the meet
ing.
This is perhaps the strongest ag-
gregation of corporate wealth in the
country and it's members will feel
keenly the tax to be imposed on cor
porations. The income tax will also
come in for its share of discussion.
Another important subject of dis
cussion will be the tendency of city
fathers and state legislators to legis-
late against street railway com
panies. A prominent delegate, presi-
dent of one of the largest companies
of its kind, declared that boards of
control and regulating laws do not
regulate, but are a source of annoy
ance to the corporations.
Six thousand delegates are attend
ing the convention. They represent
$5,000.0 100000 in capital invested in
street railway enterprises.

Governor Wilson advises independent
growers of tobacco in Kentucky to
adopt in their struggle against night

of the governor.
In this statement the governor has
set the whole of the hurley and dark
tobacco district afiame.
