HOW new ENGLAND
TAXES CORPORATIONS
Unique and Interesting Report
Sent to President Taft

Washington, May ia unique
and interesting report dealing with
the state taxation of manufacturing,
mercantile, transportation and trans
mission corporations was made public
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
of corporations. That part of the re-
port transmitted to President Taft
concerns particularly the six New
England states. 1t is expected that
additional parts dealing with other
groups of states will be published
later.
A careful investigation into the tax
law of each state was made by Com
missioner Smith and the results OF
the inquiry are presented In concise
form. The report presents in pop
ular way a digest of the tax laws and
the methods of their administration
While, in a sense, it is a legal pub
lication it was prepared rather for the
general public than for lawyers. 1t
contains much of information partic
ularly interesting and important tc
legislators and all other students ol
taxation.
Commissioner Smith points out
that, while the taxation of individuals
throughout New England is on sub
stantially the same basis there is 8
wide diversity among the severa
states In both the theory and prac
tice of the taxation of corporations
He notes as particularly interesting
the Massachusetts plan of taxation o.
corporate excess" on the marke
value of stock less property otherwise
taxed. 1t is pointed out, too, thai
Massachusetts alone succeeds appre
ciably in efforts to tax specially the
manufacturing and mercantile cor
porationS.

Mersina, Asiatic Turkey. May 1s.-
Captain William A. Marshall, COM
manding the American armored
cruiser North Carolina. pow in this
port, has been investigating condi-
tions. He had conference with the
governor of Adana province. AS a
result full protection has been prom
ised American interests at Adana and
guards are patrolling the American
property there and elsewhere.
The conditions In the refugee camps
are pitiable. Many thousands of un-
fortunates are huddled together and
lack food, shelter and medical aid
The authorities are making efforts to
improve the situation and send the
refugees back to their farms. Many
Armenians are quartered at the Amer

cline to leave because of their lack OF
confidence in the protection offered.
The greatest danger is from epidemic
In the overcrowded camps and mis-
sions Measles and typhoid fever al

that the refugees disperse as soon as
possible Many contributions are

QUORUM Is ON HAND EARL Y
Senate Session Begins at Ten in the
Morning.

Washington, May 1S.-Fifty-
senator's answered to their names
when the senate met at 10 o'clock,
relieving doubt as to the ability of
that body , obtain quorum early In
the day to consider the tariff bill.
II am not protectionist in spots, .
said Mr.. Sutherland of Utah In be-
ginning an address in support of the
tariff bill as reported by the finance
committee and In opposition to the
addition of an income tax provision.
Any effort, he said, to impose taxes
upon objects that states tax is bound
to result in confusion or double tax
alton. Taking that view he regarded
the income tax as not proper means
for raising revenue for the general
government.
Mr.. Sutherland discussed various
questions relating to what he claims
were the unconstitutional features of
the income tax and was at times in
terrupted by Senators Bailey, Borah
Cummins, Owen and Hepburn.

court clerk then instructed Captain
ceeded to ask him the questions u.s.
ually put to a man about to be SEN
fenced. The prisoner seemed dazed
and seemed to have some difficulty in
understanding the questions. Law
yers Mcintyre and Young of the de-
Tense stood on eitker side of Captain
Hams and assisted him In answering
the questions of the court clerk. In
passing sentence Justice Garretson
said that the defendant had had fair
trial and had been defended by ex-
perienced lawyers. A jury had found
q verdict commensurate with the re-
(uirements of the law. He said that
he was not aware that any errors OF
law had been committed during the
trial. Referring to the nature of the
case the court said that Captain
Hams had been indicted for murder In
the first degree, the severest crime
against society, and although there
had been great deal of sympathy in
jected into the case the law did not
allow q man to punish another for
wrong he had suffered or to wreak
vengeance on the man who had
wronged him.
Immediately after sentence the
prisoners lawyers asked for stay of
sentence for few days In order to
take an appeal. Justice Garretson
said the case would take the usual
course and gave the defense twenty
four hours IN which to file an appeal
He then remanded Captain Hams to
The custody of the sheriff.

ABOUT ONE THOUSAND OUT
Number of French Strikers Decreas
ina Daily.

Paris, May 1s.-All that now re-
mains of the strike OF the postal en-
ployes of the government is political
agitation on the part of the revolu-
tionary proletariat. The leaders OF
the strike are now openly affiliated
with these extreme organizations and
they continue to talk loudly of pre-
cipitating a general strike. But the
more sagacious realize that the mo-
ment is unpropitious and the general
opinion is that the agitation will not
20 further than words.
The total number of strikers In the
country is 1923. as against 1888 the
previous day. There have been TWEEN
ty-four additional dismissals from the

TELEGRAPH
One Corporation to Control All
Wire Communication
BILLION q DOLLAR MERGER
Bell Company Secures Majority OF
Western Union Stock-AIready
Controlled Postal Company

New York, Nov. 1.-THE American
Telephone and Telegraph company,
known as the Bell Company, has be-
come the dominant interest in the
Western Union Telegraph Company
through the purchase of the Gould es-
tate holdings of Western Union and
some smaller blocks OF the stock. An
nouncement to this effect was made
in Boston yesterday by President Vail
of the telephone and telegraph com
pany, following a meeting of the dir
ectors of the company in that city.
The Mackay Companies which control
the Postal Telegraph system is the
largest stakeholder in the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company
and thus this deal brings the two tel
egraph companies into close alliance
The deal is regarded as marking a
long stride toward complete control
by one corporation of all wire com
mwication in the United States and
the possible extension of the tele-
phone service to the far corners of
the land without duplication or extra
construction.
1t was said in Boston yesterday that
in order to make the absorption COM
plete the incorporation of a new bill
lion dollar company will be necessary
TO include the bonds and stock of the
Bell Company and the Western Union.
The present capitalization of the Bell
company is 1911 100000 in stock and
1898 100000 in bonds.
II is planned to have the telegraph
Office Of suburban towns in the same
building with the telephone exchange.
BY this means the telephone subscribe
ers will merely have to telephone to
their central offices for transmission
of their kilograms. Thus the tele-
phone company will own the termin-
ais at both the sending and receiving
ends in the transmission of tele-
gram. and will use the telephone at
each end as a means Of delivery, dis
pensing as far as possible, with the
present cumbersome and inefficient
messenger service.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE United
States government today began an in
vestigation of the telephone and tele-
graph merger and will dissolve the
combination if it is found to be Illegal.
