Washinton, June 29.--With the tariff
schedules disposed of and the door
locked against the present intrusion of
amendments the senate today began

ton of taxing incomes received at

under consideration and it was then
that the most interesting occurrence
OF the day took place. This was the
announcement of the real attitude of
Chairman Aidrich of the finance com
mlttee toward the corporation tax
provision which he had introduced at
the instance of the president 1t had
been for some time reported that Mr.
Aldrich had become an advocate of a
tax on the earning of corporations as
tle most effective means of defeating
general income tax. Mr. Aldrich
stated his own position, which was in
accordance with the rumors. He
confessed his advocacy of the cor
poration tax as IA means of defeating
the income tax. MH-
He also said he thought for the next
year or two there would be deficit

thought 1.-The law could and would be
materially modified If not entirely re-
pealed This declaration was seized
upon by the democrats as a confession
subterfuge to destroy the income tax.
Mr. Aldrich denied, however. that he
had intended to characterize the cor
poration tax as a subterfuge.
ons Amendment.
With only one amendment providing
for duty Of 10 cents Il pound on tea
pending it was supposed that the
tariff schedules would soon be dis
posed of. Senator Tillman pressed so
hard and so long for his provision
that 1t was after 2 O'Clock before
vote was taken. notwithstanding Mr.. |
Il'lman's strenuous effort his tea
amendment was lost. s. to is. (

fected by this form Of taxation. The
old system of partnership has al
most entirely given way to the limited
liability company. 1t Is Impossible to
ascertain the number of these, but
they must be exceedingly numerous
The great bulk OF the smaller cor
Dorations are practically private con-
Germs. To compel them to file sworn
statements of their business to the
contents leaking through bribery to
rivals puts into the law a most OBJ
jectionable form OF government es,
pionage. The small concern cannot af-
ford to let it's business secrets come
to the knowledge Of a rival 1t is to
be hoped that this proposal will be
defeated in fact, 1t is doubtful II SO
astute politician as Senator Adrich
really expects It's adoption. 1t seems
more than likely that this measure
has been introduced to secure the pas
sage of other measures, which by such
methods can be more easily worked
in as an alternative. Tho most desr-
able form of taxation would be to i'm
pose stamp tax. This is not diff
cult to collect. would not necessitate
the creation of further elaborate gov
machinery, could not be
evaded and would fall SO lightly and
upon business concerns as
to cause slight objections"

Hot Time At Council Meeting

Hot Time At Council Meeting
A rather warm meeting of the
council was held Monday night at
which time the saloon question was
pretty thoroughly discussed. An
ordinance was passed last Septem-
ber limiting the saloons of the city.
Several weeks ago Ben Gerding,
who has conducted the Arlington
Bar, removed to the brick recently
erected by Mr.. Pfeuffer. In the
meantime the Arlington Hotel had
been leased by Mr.. Wiltse to two
parties from Spokane and among
other things the lease also covered
the bar and was drawn so as to al
low and guarantee the new pro-
prietors the right to conduct a
saloon business. Mr.. Wiltse pro-
sured license from the county but
the city refused to grant one. The
meeting was well attended and
Atty. Scales represented Mr.. Wilt.
Sc and Atty. Griffith appeared for
those opposing the granting of a
license. Speeches were made by
Mr.. Wiltse, Ben Gerding, Council
man Parker, John Coram, and Con
Hoheluscher. The council ad.
journed to meet Monday of next
week at which time we understand
the ordinance will be so amended
as to allow several additional bars
in the city.
