Makes Supervision Easv.

Another merit of this tax is the fed
sral supervision which must be exer-
cised in order to make the law effective
over the annual accounts and business
transactions of .all corporations While
the faculty of assuming a corporate form
has been of the utmost utility in the busi-
ness world, it is also true that sub
stantially all of the abuses and all of
the evils which have aroused the public
TO the necessity of reform were made pos
sible by the use of this very faculty. If
now by perfectly legitimate and effec-
tive system of taxation we are incidental
" able to possess the government and the
stockholders and the public of the knowl-
edge of the real business tranSa ctions and
the gains and profits of every corporation
in the country. we have made long step
toward that supervisory control of corpo-
rationS which may prevent a further
abuse of power.
Il recommend. then, first the adoption
Of Joint resolution by two-thirds of
both houses, proposing to the states an
amendment to the Constitution granting
to the federal government the right to
levy and collect an income tax without
apportionment among the states accord
ing to population, and. second, the enact
ment. as part of the pending revenue
measure. either as a substitute for, or in
addition to, the inheritance tax, or an ex-
else tax upon all corporations. measured
by per cent of their net income"

Hello INVALID BY THE COURT
ILLINOIS PRIMARY ELECTION
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Third Statute of the Kind Declared
Defective by the Highest Tri-
bunal of the State.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 16.-The su-
preme court today decided that the pri-
mary election law is unconstitutional.
1t is the third state primary law which
has been declared invalid by the highest
tribunal in the state. 1t was passed by
the forty-fifth general assembly in a spe-
cial session and was known as the Ogles-
by bill.
One of the principal points made against
its validity was the section which pro-
v1des that no person may vote at a pri-
mary election unless legally qualified as
a voter. the qualification including regis
tration. The act permitted voter who
had moved into a precinct after the last
registration to vote on the affidavit of a
householder, but no provision was made
for casting the vote of a legal voter who
had not changed his residence, but had
not registered.
In political circles it is considered that
the decision throwing out the primary act
will necessitate a special session this fall
of the legislature. and those close to Gov
Deneen believe he will issue a call for it

timony is to be accepted against her, and
that their testimony in this case will
be rebutted.
Mrs. Gould came into court today at

recognition on the part of either the
plaintiff or the defendant.

the Tone is Improving.
EAST WAITS ON THE WEST

in the Best Possible
Condition
ST WAITS ON THE WEST

Senator Simon Guggenheim of Colorado
passed through Omaha in his private car
attached to Union Pacific train No. yes
terday afternoon en- route to Denver from
Elberton, n. j., where he and his family
were enjoying an outing. Mrs Guggenheim
has been there since May l and part of
that time Senator Guggenheim spent in
Washington making tariff legislation. He
yesterday was accompanied by Mrs. Gug-
genheim and their three daughters.
Asked about the financial temperament
Of the east and the money conditions in
New York, Senator Guggenheim said:
IT visited New York and Wall street
daily for the las few weeks and I found
the financial conditions improving. They
are now the best they have been since the
so-called panic Of 1907.
There is in New York now what !
term a merchandise famine, which can be
satisfied by the farmers of the west this
year with big crops New York and Wall
street this summer are more dependent
upon the farmers than at any time for
several years.
with big crops out here this summer
the eastern financial conditions will be-
come the best in many years AS 1 under
stand the western prospects it appears
that the east will be satisfied, for there is
sure to be bumper crop season in this
section of the country.
There is no danger whatever of another
panic in this country. AS / said before,
was in the financial center of the coun-
try every day for several weeks and /
can state to you that the United States
never was in so little danger of a money
stringency or any other contingency that
might lead to a panic like that of 1907, or
anything worse. The east, with the excep-
tion of the merchandise famine, never has
seen a better summer for Wall street and
the business interests
Crops win Fix 1t All.
THE west, feel sure, will give the east
the crops to wipe out the famine and then
the country will enjoy its greatest year Of
prosperity in the history of the United
States"
Senator Guggenheim was asked regard
ing the tariff and said he was satisfied
the country would come to realize that
Senator Aldrich and the other senators
are making the right kind of protection
for the best interests of all the people. He
said the conferees would be sure to fix
up any places that were not right when
the bill left the senate. He thought Sem
ator Aldrich had made the best kind of a
fight.
During the next month Senator Guggen-
helm and his family will be in Colorado
and Idaho. where they will continue their
vacation trip. They were at Elberton
on what Senator Guggenheim termed a
vacation jaunt" and will continue il for
another month in the west.
