ASSAILS TAX ON
CORPORATIONS
Hy unIled press 1eased lspeeIal wIrs.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Jund 3O-Contend-
ing that the proposed tax on corpora
tions violates the fundamental prinoi-
pie of the taxation, Senator Cummins.
of Iowa, to-lday in the Senate attack
ed the amendment TO the tariff bill
suggested by President Taft and re-
ported by the Senate finance commit
tee.
II is a tax upon incomes. he de-
clared. and the fact that II brings
within IT'S provisions the incomes Of
corporations only, does not. and cam
not change its character. II does not
change the nature of a tax to bestow
upon il different name. he argued
and IL mere name was important or
influential. the income tax proposed by
the Cummins- Bailey amendment could
be called an excise tax. Just as easily
end lust as correctly as can that term
be applied TO the corporation tax
Commenting on the fact that the
Supreme Court at one time decided a
general Income tax to be unconstltu-
ti1nal, Mr.. Cummns observed that the
Supreme Court. aud all other courts
had over and over again. reversed for
ted that such reversals should occur
only when II became manifest that a
prior decision was wrong: but when lt
did become clear and plain. the rules
OF judicial procedure old not require
an affirmation of palpabe error. it
was, therefore, no disparagemont to
the court. he argued for citizen TO
appeal for another construction of the
a..
rights; nor was It any disparagement
20 the Supreme Court TO enact a
statute which involved an additional
hearing. lie reviewed at length legal
decisions touching on the subject
"When, however lac continued, I'VE
pass from the legal aspects Of the pro-
posed amendment to an examination Of
lis governmntal morality. that Is to its
iustic and fairness, we pass at once from
the field Of doubt ana uncertainty to the
region of absolute proof and unerrlng in
stlnct When SO examined. my proposition
Is that this amendment now suggested by
the comittee not only violated the funda-
mental principle Of taxation. but repudi-
atos the most vital obligation Of our So
cial compact
The corporation tax amendment 10 the
tariff bin came before the Senate. II was
called up for consideration yesterday and
damned with faint praise by IFS leading
supporters Senator Aldrich the nominal
father Of the amendment indicated that
he had no love for It and that between
the corporation tax and the income tax
the corporation tax was a choice Of evils
Mr. Aldrich's remarks were interpreted
by many Senators ais an admission that
! the corporation tax proposal had been
presented merely as a measure for defeat
ing the pending income tax amendment
/ Senator Bailey joint author OF the Bailey.
Cummins measure, which provides for
the imposition both Of a corporation taS
and tax on individual incomes. asserted
that Mr.. Aidrich had admitted that IN,
corporation tax was merely subterfugS
! 20 defeat the income tax and Ia spite OF
Mr. Aldrichs denial Mr.. Bailey persist.

There is no street car system and
horses can not be kept here because
of horse sickness The heat is so
cnerVating as to render il practically
impossible for Europeans to walk any
distance.
Prior 10 the coming of the Roosc-
Welt party. settlers had been swarming
10 the city TO see the great American
hunter. Every rickshaw in the tow J
had been engaged for weeks in adj
