SAY GREEK FLAG CAN'T
BE HOISTED IN CRETE

London.--The acute stage reached
in the dispute between Turkey and
Greece over Crete is causing anxiety
IN the European capitals, such as al
ways accompanies any diplomatic
difficulty in that quarter
However as M. Iswosky the Rus
sian foreign minister, said at Cowcs
last Tuesday, If there is any awkward
development in the situation, Europe
will see that no mischievous effects
result therefrom. There is no idea
that hostllitles will result On the
contrary, there is every belief a suo
cessful settlement will be made.
From the latest reports, It appears
that Turkey has not presented any
thing in the form of an ultlmatum to
Greece, but has confined herself to
verbal protests, while the four pro
tecting powers are making energetic
representations both to Constantine
pie and to Athens to secure an ami
cable agreement.
The four powers insist that under
no circumstances shall the Greek
flag be hoisted over any public build
ing in Crete, and the foreign consuls
at Canea have been instructed to i'm
press this upon the Cretan authorl-
ties.

Most women suffer much humilia-
ton because of great quantities of fat,
so located that, no matter how they
dress, everybody sees that they are
abnormal. This is the day of the
slender figure, and fat women are
simply not tolerated either in business
or social affairs. Women may not
know it. but men when they see a fat
woman pass them on the street make
all manner of sympathetic remarks
about her. They do not mean to be
unkind or to seem unmanly, but it is
natural for a man to dislike fat on
a woman. Where fat shows the most
there Is where It must be removed,
and as quickly as possible. The hot
weather dresses seem to be made for
the fat woman's misery and the slen-
der woman's delight. They expose all
the charms of women and her ugliness
as well. Exercise and diet will not
remove fat. This has been proved,
The famous Marmola prescription
which has met with such phenomenal
success and has so many of our So
ciety women as its sponsors, is now
being sold in tablet form to meet the
demand of the public for this style
OF treatment. These little tablets go
into your system just like food. They
stop the stomach and digestive appa-
ratus from producing fat and reduce
the fat upon the body at the rate or
from 12 to Is ounces day. They
are harmless and can be carried In
your purse and taken even after you
have INDUCED in a hearty meal away
from home. They are sold at all drug
stores at 75 cents a case, or IL you pre-
fer you may write the Marmola Com

MILLIONAIRE BEGS.
Wants to See How Philadelphia
Treats n Tramp.

ITtdtS tramp
! elphia.-Although his for
tune runs close to the million mark
and he stops at the finest hotels, Ed
win a. Brown of Denver, doesn't let
that stop him from getting first hand
information on several problems.
Leaving the Bellevue-Stratford
where ne is a guest, he spent one
night in the Wayfarers' lodge Lom-
bard street, where he mingled with
that class of humanity which chops
wood and does odd chores at the
lodge in exchange for a bed ana
breakfast.
He did not go to the lodge merely
as a spectator, nor to make a formal
inspection of the place. Attired in
ragged pair of overalls, a shabby, di-
lapidated hat and a pair of rough
shoes, he started out to see how Phil
adelphians would treat a "down-and-
outer" trying to get a nights lodg'
ing and a bite to eat,
Brown says he started east on
Market street, At Twelfth he met
la policeman and asked him where
he could get a free meal and a place
to sleep. He was promptly referred
to a station house. There were sew
eral men standing on the corner, and
to these Brown made known his
plight.
Ten Cents for Sandwich.
Here's 10 cents, old man." said
one of them, tossing Brown a dime,
"Buy yourself a sandwich or som,
thing you turn in"
Brown wandered about the center
of the city until he finally struck the
Wayfarers' lodge. There he was Civ
en- a bath along with the human dere-
licts who asked aid at the place, and
was put to bed.
He was routed out of bed at >
o'clock next morning with the others
and given the regulation breakfast of
bean soup, bread and coffee. Then
he attended religious services.
Following the services those in the
lodge were divided into two squads
one going to the yard to chop wood;
the other. in which was Brown, to !
the wash room.
For more than an hour the million
aire washed towels and napkins. |
When he had finished he was told !
that he had paid the regulation price !
for his lodging and was permitted to |
go.
Brown says he is convinced that |
the only solution of the vagrant prob
lem is the establishment of munich
pal lodging houses, He visited sever
al other cities in the capacity of a
"down-and-out, and he says condi-
tions are almost identical every
where.

Vernon, b. c., Aug 11.-With
| tongues of fire from windows and
doors, with every avenue of escape cut
off, II men were burned to unrecog-
nizable masses at an early hour yes
torday morning in the Okanogan ho-
tel Such harvest of death has new
er been known in this section and
the awfulness of the calamity has
fallen like pail over the quiet little
city.
The Okanogan hotel, brick veneer
structure. three stories high, with so
rooms, was ablaZe at O'Clock when
the first alarm was given, and before
help could arrive the starways were
burned and the entire structure was
doomed. Those lodgers occupying
rooms on the first and second floors
were imprisoned by the flames before
IL was possible for the hotel attend
ants to awaken them. If indeed they
were aroused before the flames snuff
fed out their lives. At the rear of the
building some low structures offered
an opportunity for escape for those
having rooms opening upon the alley,
but in the smoke it was almost i'm
possible for any one to find safety,
while men outside were unable to
offer assistance to the burning fran
tic souls within the charnel house.
The OkanOgan hotel was located
on the main street of the town and
was surrounded by prominent busi-
damaged before the fury of the
flames could be checked. The Royal
Bank OF Canada. =. Burns Drug COM
pany Morris Drug store and the real
estate office of f. A. Loveridge were
seriously damaged.
ELEVEN DOuleS nave Deen taken
from the building, although the search
is hardly begun where the central
parts of the building stood yesterday.
The embers are too hot for firemen
to conclude the search, but it is
thought all the bodies have been re-
covered
Firemen fought the flames heroic
ally in the early morning hours. Citl-
zens turned out by hundreds and as
sisted as best they could. As the |
burned bodies Were secured they |
were taken to empty buildings and |
private houses nearby until such time |
as they could be identified.
A. Hickling lost his life in an he !
roic effort to save the life of one Of |
the women employed about the hotel |
had carried young daugh-
ter of the landlord from the burning |
and returned to save the do
mestic. BY his aid she was able to
escape, but he fell in a faint before
he was beyond the reach of the
flames and perished.

$500 Bond to Carry Pistol

CHARLESTOWN, w. ", May IL
Policemen and other officers are in a
quandary as to what to do for self
protection today as the new law re-
garding pistol carrying became ef-
fective this morning The application
to carry pistol must be made to the
circuit court, and it must be proven
that the character of the applicant is
good and that he has good reason fol-
carrying pistol, and give a bond OF
$500 for his license. Only sheriffs ano
tax-oollecting deputies and policemen
who have given a bond of at least
$500 are permitted to carry a pistol
without license.
Because of these stringent condi-
lions bonding companies are refusing
to bond officers who are having trouble
in finding personal sureties. In many
instances policemen may have to go
unarmed.

Growth of Corporate Wealth Has

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Nav IL

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May IL
After a thorough investigation OF
state taxation of manufacturing, mer-
cantile, transportation and transmits
sion corporations, the bureau of cor
porations of the department of com
merce and labor today submitted the
first part of its report, relating to the
New England states. Herbert Knox
Smith, commissioner of corporations
signs the report. a brief of which is
given below.
THE great growth of corporate
wealth has made corporate taxation
the first factor in the problem OF
state revenues. This report gives, by
states, digest of taxation laws, the
methods of administering the same,
the financial results, and comments
1t gives prominence to underlying
principles, rather than to details. AL
though it deals principally with law,
it is not a legal publication, nor has
it been prepared especially for law
yers 1t is intended rather for the use
of the general public, and it will be
particularly interesting to legislators
and tax officials.
1.-The statutes have been examined
and digested. The proper officials in
each state have been interviewed as
to Interpretation, administration. and
financial results No discussion of a
tax system would be of practical value
If based merely on the statutes.
The taxation of individuals is sub
stantially the same throughout New
England. Corporate taxation. on the
other hand, shows wide diversity both

Connecticut.
Over four-fi of the total revenue
for state purposes in Connecticut
comes from state taxation of corpora
tons In 1908 the total state expenses
!were nearly three and a half million
dollars, of which the corporations do
ing business in Connecticut contribu-
ted nearly three millions; and of this
three millions the railroads paid over
a million, savings banks over half a
million and insurance companies over
half million.
Since the suspension in 1890 of the
state tax on real and personal property
there has been a complete separation
of the sources of state and local reve-
nue.. One of the methods proposed
for supplying an increase of state rev.
enue is the re-enacting of the state
general property tax.
New Hampshire.
The total amount of revenue in New
Hampshire for state purposes is a lit
tie over a million dollars a year; from
the Special IdXdtlOu u
there is derived for state purposes a
little over one-fourth of this amount.
Through a construction placed upon
the New Hampshire constitution, all
attempts in New Hampshire to tax
corporations upon any other basis than
property have been abandoned There
is, however, a central state board
which administers the. taxation Of rail-
road, street-railway, express, tele-
graph, and telephone companies. This
centralized administration of the law
as to these corporations constitutes
the chief difference between the taxa
ton of corporations and individuals
in New Hampshire.
Massachusetts,.
The total expense of the Massachu-
sets state government in 1907 was
apprc ximately $13,5OO, 900. The re-
ceipts from the special taxation of
corporations in Massachusetts paid
about one third of this sum.
Massachusetts is the only New Eng
land state which adopted a theory or
cooperate taxation at an early date, and
has consistently adhered to it. The
corporation is taxed upon it's real es-
tate and tangible property in the To-
cality where the property is situated,
just as property is taxed to individu-
ais: and then the state tax commits

ABSTRACT BY. STATES.
M aine.


Approximately onehalf of the ex-
penses of the Main state government,
which amounts to over two and half
million dollars annually, are met by
special state taxation of corporations.
The taxation of railroads in Maine,
including street railways, is based upon
gross receipts. This law has been
sustained by the supreme court of the
United States as not being tax upon
receipts, in which case it would be a
tax upon interstate commerce, and
therefore uncons titutional 1t was held
that receipts were merely used as a
measure of the corporations ability
to pay taxes. This law is known as
the Maine system of taxing railroads.
Several states have used it as model.
From it Maine realizes over 100000
annually. Following this law, Maine
now taxes her telephone, telegraph,
express. and parlor-car companies on
the basis of income.
Vermont.
All of the expenses of the state gov
eminent in Vermont, approximately
a million and a half dollars year, are
met by the special taxation of corr
porations and by other special taxes
collected by the state. The corpora
tions are paying approximately Sc per
cent of the total state expenses.
The chief feature of corporate tax
alton in Vermont is the policy of pro-
viding in detail for important corpor-
ations two methods of taxation and
permitting the corporation to elect to
be taxed under either provision The
two systems have different bases one
being property and the other receipts.
Rhode Island.
To corporations desiring to do bust
ness in Rhode Island the tax system
of that state offers an inducement to
incorporate under her laws. This con-
sists in a deduction for. actual indebt
edness from taxable personal property
to domestic corporations only, corpor-
ations without a Rhode Island charter
not being allowed this privilege.
Moreover, no corporation doing
business in Rhode Island is taxed on
its intangible personality, such as bank
deposits and net credits. The result Is
that it is not uncommon for most, If
not all, of the personal property of a
domestic corporation to escape taxa
ton, the intangible personality not be-
ing assessed according to law, and the

CORPORATION TAX
IN NEW ENGLAND

in theory and in practice Individuals
are taxed on property. Corporations
are taxed on property, or on income,
or on a combination of both, or on
capital stock, either par or market
value, or occ asionally-as in the case
of telegraph and telephone companies
on mileage or number of instru-
ments. Administration ranges from a
system highly developed, handled cen
trally by state officials with large
powers. to no centralized administra-
ton whatsoever
Particularly interesting is the Mas
sachusetts taxation of corporate ex-
CESS" on the market value of stock
less property otherwise taxed, and APP
piled to all domestic corporations.
Connecticut applies this to railroads,
adding also their bonded indebtedness
as measure of ability to pay taxes.
Railroads are among the largest
taxpayers In Maine they are taxed at
a graduated percentage of gross trans
portation receirts; in New Hampshire,
on property, but through a state board;
in Vermont, upon gross earnings; in
Massachusetts,, by the state on their
corporate excess" (market value of
stock, less amount of property taxed
locally), and by the towns on much of
their their property; in Rhode Island,
on real property by the local author
tiles; in Connecticut, on the sum of
bonded debt and market value of stock
Other public service corporations,
such as street-railway telegraph. tel
ephone. express. car, gas. and electric
companies, are most often brought I'M
der special and new systems of taxa
ton. Taxation of public service cor
pcrations on gross receipts is growing
in use. Maine and Vermont use this
largely; Mass achusetts, Connecticut,
and Rhode Island in part; but New
Hampshire not at all.
Massachusetts alone succeeds ap-
preciably in efforts to tax specially the
manufacturing and mercantile cor
porations This state taxes the cor
poration itself on its corporate excess
through the state tax commissioners.
The other states make unsuccessful ef-
forts to reach this corporate excess in
the hands of the shareholders through
