Canadian Manufacturers Plan Meas
ures of Retaliation.
Ottawa, June 22.-Canadian manu-
facturers declare the American tariff
revision will force Canada to make
some radical changes in her customs
tariffs also. That the adoption in its
present form of the Aldrich tariff bill
must result probably in a widening of
the British preferential tariff by Cana
da is the opinion freely expressed by
the officers of the tariff department of
the Canadian Manufacturers associa-
tion, who are now here on business
with the government.
That important tariff changes will
be announced next spring is the opinion
held by many, but the extent of them
is depending much on the developments
at Washington. There may be no gen.
eral increase as affecting the importa-
tion into Canada Of American commo-
dities, although in many lines it will
be vigorously urged, but widening of
the British preference at least is al
ready being pressed upon the govern
ment and plans are being laid for more
actively and aggressively agitating
such policy.

gress Disappearing.
Washington, June 22.-Although the
senate made much progress during the
week in considering the tariff bill, the
date of the final vote is as indefinite as
it was a week ago.
The possibility of sending the bill
back to the house by July is now con-
sidered remote. The discussion of a
duty on hides will occupy the senate
for possible a day or two. The wood
pulp amendment offered by the finance
committee, which practically doubles
the duty on wood pulp, will then be
taken up,
After these two schedules have been
disposed of it is understood the tax on
corporations, proposed by President
Taft, will occupy the attention of the
senate for several days. The lumber
schedule and the rates on pig and scrap
iron and wire nails remain to be dis
posed of.
The question of free cotton bagging
and ties and binding twine are certain
to result in an interesting discussion.

JAP EDITOR APPEALS.
Wants Mikado to Interfere in Labo
Trouble in Hawaii

Wants Mikado to Interfere in Labor
Trouble in Hawaii
Honolulu, June 22.-In an editorial
appearing in today's issue Of the Nippu
Jill, the organ of the leaders of the
Japanese strike movement, an appeal
for interference in the Hawaiian strike
situation is made to the Japanese gov
ernment. The article alleged that the
Japanese have been accorded unfair
treatment by the courts and by the
Federal and territorial officials of the
islands.
The Jill has supported the leaders of
the higher wage movement ever since
the strike of the japanese sugar plan
tation hands was called. The offices
of the paper were searched on June II,
and numerous papers were seized by
the territorial authorities which, it is
alleged, contained evidence of wide
spread conspiracy among the Japanese
on the islands.
Y. Soga, editor of the Jill, was in
dicted twice by the territorial grand
jury, following the seizure, once on a
charge of conspiracy to incite riot and
once on charge of conspiracy to COM
nit murder. He was released on fur
nishing 81, $50 bail bonds to cover both
indictments.
The efforts of certain of the Japan
ese to give the Hawaiian situation an
international aspect are apparently
concentrating here, as evidenced by the
Jiji's special to the Japanese govern
ment.

Lax Unearned Increase.

Berlin, June 16.-The reichstag re-
assembled today. Among the official
communication laid before the house
was one from the government concern
ing the proposal to tax the unearned
increasement in real estate values.
The government has decided that it is
inexpedient to do this for imperial pur-
poses, inasmuch as there are seemingly
unsurmountable difficulties in the way
of an equitable adjustment of the taxes
on city and county values, but it ap-
proves as just the taxing of the un-
earned increasement for local purposes.

Russian Police Probe Sect That Wor-

St. Petersburg, June l6.-Dispatches
from Perm, European Russia, say the
local police have begun an investiga-
tion into the sect Of the Crimson God,
the members of which are accused OF
human sacrifices and other horrible
practices.
Repeated disappearances of persons
in the district where the sect dwells
throw suspicion on the organization,
which worships red wooden idol, col
ored, it is said, with human blood.
The police have located secret
grave containing the mutilated body
Of man supposed to have been sacri-
feed, and they expect to find others.
The rural region, of which Perm is
the center, is breeding ground for
many fanatical cults. 1t is meeting
place for the pagan tribes of Asia, as
we'll as of persons who flee from Rus
sia on account of religious per secution.
Refugees of this type have lived for
centuries in the dense forests of the
district, and their beliefs have devel-
oped along the most fanatical lines.

Salem-County Clerk r. D. Allen is
in quandry. The last session of the
Legislature passed law offering a
large bounty for killing mountain lions,
coyotes and other wild animals, and
providing that certain parts of the
beasts anatomies shall be brought to
the Office of the county clerk and there
held until the County court shall have
an opportunity of passing on the claims
for county money.
Recently relics of several animals
have been brought to the clerks office,
the names of the hunters duly register
ed and the scalps of the animals stored
in the clerks vault, which is not pro-
vided with refrigerator facilities. The
warm weather of the past few days
has caused mighty stencil to go up
from the bones.
The young women in the Office COM
plain strenuously, while holding their
noses, but the clerk, who is trying to
obey the law, is helpless, and the coun-
ty court does not meet until July Z.

no one can speak with certainty upor
this point, but have become convinced
that great majority of the people OF
this country are in favor of vesting the
national government with power to
levy an income tax.
"Second the decision in the Pollock
case left power in the national govern
ment to levy an excise tax which ac-
complishes the same purpose as cor
poration income tax, and is free from
certain objections urged to the propos-
ed income tax measure.
81 therefore recommend an amend
ment to the tariff bill imposing upon
all corporations and joint stock COM
panies for profit, except national banks,
otherwise taxed, savings banks and
building and loan societies, an income
tax measured by 2 per cent of the net
income of such corporations. This is
an excise tax upon the privilege of do
ing business as an artificial entity and
of freedom from general partnership
liability enjoyed by those who own the
stock.
81 am informed that 2 per cent tax
of this character would bring into the
treasury of the United States not less
that $25, 10000 900.
"The decision of the Supreme court
in the case of the Spreckles Sugar Re.
fining company against McClain seems
clearly to establish the fact that such
tax as this is an excise tax upon priv
ilege, and not direct tax on property,
and is within the Federal power with
out apportionment according to popu-
lation.
"The tax on net income is preferable
to one proportionate to percentage of
the gross receipts, because it is a tax
upon success and not failure. 1t i'm
poses burden at the source of the in
come at time when the employer is
well able to pay and when collection is
easy.
Another merit of this tax is the
Federal supervision which must be ex-
ercised in order to make the law effect
i've over the annual accounts and busi-
ness transactions of all corporations.
While the faculty of assuming a cor
porate form has been of the utmost
utility in the business world, it is also
true that substantially all of the abuses
and all of the evils which have aroused
the public to the necessity of reform
will be made possible by the use of this
very faculty.
eff now, by a perfectly legitimate
and effective system of taxation, we
are incidentally able to possess the
government and the stockholders and
the public of the knowledge of the real
business transactions and tie gains and
profits of every corporation in the
country, We have made long step to-
ward that supervisory control of cor
porations which may prevent further
abuse of power.
81 recommend then, first, the adop-
tion of joint resolution by two-thirds
Fof 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, according to population; and
second. the enactment as part of the
pending revenue measure, either as a
substitute for or an addition to, the in
heritance tax, of an excise tax upon all
corporations, measured by per cent of
their net income"

ing frozen in. If he has been success
full the news of his discovery will not

unconstitutional the state primary law,

enact new law. The decision of the
Supreme court is the result of an at
tack made upon the primary law by
candidates defeated in the state pri-
maries last summer.
