SENATORS FLOODED
4 WITH MESSAGES
IN OPPOSITION TO CORPORATION
TAx-SOME RECEIVE AS
MANY AS 100.
PROPOSITION MAY BE PUT ASIDE
FOR INHERITANCE
SCHEME.

Washington, June 30.-A flood OF
kilograms, nearly equalling that which
swamped the wires during the anti
railroad pass fight, is pouring in upon
senators in opposition to the corpor-
alton tax amendment.
Most of the kilograms come from
persons interested in building and
loan associations, but practically every
character of corporate operation is
represented. Most of the senators
received from II to SO kilograms
yesterday, and some at least 100. 1t
became evident that there is an organ
lied movement throughout the coun-
try in opposition to the corporation
tax amendment.
In view of the vehement tone of the
protests and the fact that the tele-
grams are from business men highly
respected in their communities, the
senators, who are pledged to vote for
the administration program said they
are feeling some concern as to the
wisdom of their course 1t is admit
ted on the floor O. the senate that
there are comparatively few members
who favor the corporation tax amend
ment in spite of the fact that a can
vass shows 50 republicans will vote
for it. If it were not for the presi-
dents support of the proposition, it
probably could not be adopted.
Unless there comes a change of
sentiment throughout the country, it
would not surprise many members of
congress if the corporation tax should
be abandoned in conference, and the
inheritance tax feature, which was
adopted by the house, should be re-
stored. In the event of such action,
indications are that the senate would
vote it's acquiescence.

'WR|CHTS MUST FLY
At 40 MILE SPEED
AND REMAIN IN THE AIR AN
HOUR WITHOUT
LIGHTING.
TOPOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS A
FACTOR IN THE
TRIAL.

Washington, June 30.-DeSpite the
marvellous records that have been es-
tabilshed by the Wright brothers in
this country and abroad to comply
with the government specifications
Orville Wright in his trials at Fort
Myer, scoon to begin, will be com
PEELED to meet certain conditions that
are wholly new and untried The en-.
durance trial, in which the aviator, &C
companied by passenger, VIII be
required TO remain in continuous flight
without landing for one hour, carrying
sufficient fuel for flight OF 125 miles
has already been accomplished by
Wilbur Wright 1t is the speed trial,
however, that imposes conditions that
have never before presented them
selves. Orville Wright, who has
elected to complete the tests he began
last fall, must fly over measured
course of five miles from Fort Myer
and return, total distance OF ten
miles. In order to receive the con-
tract price of $4,000 a speed of
forty miles an hour with and against
the wind must be maintained.
If less speed than thirty-six miles
an hour is made the machine will not
be accepted, and 10 per cent of the
contract price will be deducted for
each mile less than forty made IN the
speed trial A bonus of 10 per cent
will be paid for each mile above forty.
The Wright machines have averaged
from thirty-f1ve to forty miles an hour
in the various fights made. The
rough, billy country surrounding Fort
Myer, over which the speed trial must
be made, is what is causing Orville
Wright some uneasiness. No cross
country flight over an uneven coun-
try has ever been made by a heavier
than-air flying machine.
In addition to being pioneers in arti-
fetal flight it will devolve upon the
Wrights to become explorers in the
realm of aerial navigation. The aero
plane can only be guided in
straight plane by comparison with
the land. and if the level of the earth
rises and falls beneath it it is pre-
sumed that the natural impulse OF the
aviator will be to follow the uneven
ness of the terrain. AS the energy re-
quired to go up is not balanced in any
degree by a downward flight, the fall
and rise of the machine will greatly
retard its speed.
The vagaries of the air must also
be taken into consideration. A clump
of trees or a small shed will send an
air current upward that may do much
or little to disturb the equilibrium OF
the aeroDiane While Oryille Wright
will select with geat care the course
he will take in his speed trial, it is i'm
possible for him to avoid rough and
uneven country.
Captain Thomas S. Baldwin told
me that the country to the west of
Fort Myer is the least uneven" said
Orville Wright today, Hand | am go
ing to examine it carefully to deter
mine its advantages over the country
lying to the south toward Alexandria,
Va AS we must fly over trees, /
would prefer a country which is heav-
lily wooded with intermittent open
fields. rather than one where the
trees are sparse and scattered where
a landing would be difficult There is
no need of taking unnecessary risks.
