MOONLIGHT GOLF

A. ]. Watson Covers Dun

% and Qualities.

NEW YORK. July s.-The Duawoodie
Golf Club was recently rendered locally
famous by having one of its holes made
in single stroke, but this achievement
has given way to the moonlight score
OF 81. made by A. J. Watson between
and II o'clock last Saturday night.
Not only was the score admirable, but
the fact that It enabled Watson to
qualify in the first sixteen for the July
tournament cup, occasioned interesting
comment among the holiday players
yesterday.
Watson's first nine holes were made in
4j and the second nine in Il. Watson
did not have IA his moonlight score,

FANS DISAPPOINTED
BY KETCHEL'S WORK

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-F'ight fans
in Frisco are sore today over the de-
cision of Referee Roche, VINO awarded
to Stanley Ketchel the decision, at the
end of a twerty-rouhd mill with Billy
Papke last night.
Ketchers work was a bitter disap-
pointment to the men who think he can
whip Jack Johnson. He was an ordi-
nary performer. Had Papke gone in in
his, hurricane style, few believe ketchel
could have lived through the twenty
rounds When it was all over. he was
a tired gladiator, with stall about
having broken his hand in the sixth
round. Papke, on the nther hand. was
fresh and unmarked, and could have

he took good care to conceal the broken
hand from inoui-ers.
There were many Kisses when Referee

supposed to deal with such matters from a business rather than a political standpoint. are outspoken in their op- position to the proposed tax. The former considers it unnecessarily and as requiring "a costly and inquisitorial system" which would work inequitably and involve undesirable interference with private accounts and interests" {; the Commercial states that it would mean smaller dividends and lower stock values. The New York Times doubts the power of Congress to tax privileges granted under State char ters, and adds that the tax would ex- pose the amounts of profits gained by tariff beneficiaries, which would sure ly be unfortunate for them. The New York Sun says:
 All that has failed to be done in the direction of federal control of all in- corporated industry within the States, and a thousand times more than the widest advocates of centralized power have ever dreamed of doing, may be accomplished at a stroke of MT. Taft Den by the enactment of a profit tax on the earnings of corporations of every class. The earlier pretextS and subterfuges of federal aggression are rendered superfluous by this simple and direct method of approach, entry ana absolute domination, even to the exercise of the power of life or death. The power to tax is the power to pro- hibit and to destroy.
 The New York Tribune, also antag- onizes the recommendation, on the grounds of unconstitutionality, of dou- ble taxation as the corporations are now paying local and State taxes. of hardship to the thousands of minor corporations. of the creation of a great new bureau to ascertain and collect the tax, and of inquisitorial interfer- ence.
 As already intimated by the Far mer, the large corporations are evt- dently hostile to the proposed tax, and confirmation of this belief is afforded by the positions. taken by the New York journals above quoted from.

"A STEP TOWARD FREE TRADE

!. President Taft's proposed per cent tax on the net profits of corporations has very direct bearing upon the tariff question. First, it would com pei the beneffciaries of the tariff to open their books and reveal their net profits which, in probably very many cases. would doubtless show an entire lack of any need of protection and also a policy of fixing prices far above the cost of production with reasonable profit Second. this proposed tax would increase the governments reve- nuc and. thus lessen the need of secur- 1nx revenue through tariff duties.
 One of the arguments in use against an income tax is that it would sdisplace more or less protective duties This came argument is equally applicable fo the proposed per cent. tax on the net profits of corporations. Tn fact. when one analyses this tax closely, it is found to be really an income tax, but limited to corporations instead of also including individuals.s and to be applicable to net profits instead of gross incomes.
 M Many times in the past have the Democratic party. it's leaders. and its orxans been denounced for advocating xhe repeal of certain tariff duties. The 4Eharge has been that each measure so udvocated was "a step toward free frade''. and that its supporters were members of the Golden club. It is a fact as above stated that every new direct tax may displace more lor less ;fariff duties by rendering them un- necessary for revenue purposes. and Aevery such tax must therefofe be "a otep toward free trade and those who guGgezt or support it must be- free ffr4ders and members of the Golden club. It matters little whether. tariff duties are repealed by direct vote, or Misplaced by being rendered unneces- sarythe effect is the same
 The inevitable, unavoida b1A conclu- sion is that President Taft swho rec commended this duty -disp1aeing tax, and the Senate Finance cemmittee which has accepted it, are Hee trad CTS and members of the CebFen club and should he denounced as such by all protectionists. They haye repu- diated the protective faith by, advo- eating "a step toward free trade-"
