Secretary MacVeagh has issued a
statement as TO the corporation tax law
and how it is to be interpreted by the
Treasury. In the preparation of blanks
and regulations for the administration OF
the act, Mr. MacVeagh says, 1T was de-
termined that the law is a revenue meas
ure and should be construed literally for
the purpose of producing revenue for the
government; that the real intent of the
law is to collect tax of 1 per cent on
the net income. less $1,000. of the indi-
vIdual corporation. joint-stock company
or association liable to the tax.

the Sunday observance problem. In
& recent address TO men of Elm Park
church, Mr.. Larkin advanced the
theory that a Saturday half holiday
granted to all wOrkingmen and boys
would do away with much of the Sab
bath desecration that has been so
greatly deplored. Both the pulpit
and press of this vicinity are about
unanimous in the admission that Mr..
Larkin's plan is the most feasible
OF. any that has yet been offered in
the interest of a better Sunday OBJ
servance.
Mr. Larkins sincerity in the inter-
est of Sabbath observance cannot be
questioned, as prior to coming to
scranton he relinquished a lucra-
tive position with absolutely no en-
ployment in prospect rather than work
on Sunday. His suggestions to give
the workingman a holiday on Satur-
day in order that he might be ind
uuced to attend divine worship on
Sunday, shows that he is inclined to
be liberal as well as earnest in his
view of Sabbath observance.
While since 1897 Mr.. Larkin has
been connected with the International
Textbook company in positions of
trust, he has in the past demonstrate
ed great ability as a banker and
financier. His father, Joseph F.
Larkin, of Cincinnati, was consid-
cred one of the best bankers in the
country and Madison F. Larkin was
formerly associated with his father in
banking in Cincinnati. He was OBJ
liged, on account Of i'll health to
relinquish the work and seek out
door employment. He regained his
health in Arizona, where he was one
of the first Wells-FargO express
agents. While in that country he
had many exciting experiences and
narrowly escaped being killed by
Indians on one or two occasions.
Mr.. Larkin is one of the most
enthusiastic members of the Scran-
ton Board of Trade. As treasurer of
the committee in charge of the ar
rangements of the great Industrial
exposition, held a few weeks ago, he
assisted materially in furthering the
interests Of the exhibition that proved
the best advertisement ever secured
for the industries of Scranton and
Lackawanna valley.
