Washington, Dec. 12.--Appropria-

supposition that this legislation will

that appropriations can be passed be-

Mr. Tawney has found a ready sec

the passage of District of Columbia

army bill, before the departure of the

Washington, Dec. 12.-Morc thar
100000 corporations in the Units
States will have to make their returns
in conformance with the new corpora

MacVeagh has issued a very compre

of those corporation officials. The
statement is calculated to cover any
questions of classification and dis

ing Of the reports, and it sets forth
in terse language what the govern

Secretary NacVeagh's staten nt
plainly begins with the statement that
the government expects returns to he
made to conform with the intent of
the law and that the law has two in

statement says;
1T is clear that the purpose of the
law was not to put a TAX on receipts,
but a tax on profits and that the
terms net income and gross income
are used because, while they are
practically Identical with gross profits
ami net profits, they are yet more en-
bracive and consequently permit a
more comprehensive administration
of the law
For convenience and facility in
classification, corporations have been
divided into six classes. They are
insurance companies. transportation
companies, manufacturing companies
mercantile companies, and misce,
