Watering streets in China.

The watering of the streets In

baskets from wells by means OF a

wet, form thoroughly serviceable yes

of lightness. The water Is next car

by men armed with basket ladies at

which they splash "spoonfuls" of

machinery is all the more astonish-

old methods on principle. even

continent, from New York TO San
Francisco.
He left New York on March 18th.
At that time he said he would estab-
lish an international record by walk
ing to San Francisco In one hundred
days or a few days more.
IL he succeeds in doing this it will
indeed be a remarkable performance.
when one stops to consider that he is
70 years old.
Superintendents of the Southern
Pacific and the Union Pacific are
keeping Weston posted on the con-
ditions of the roads which he must
traverse. The entire trip is financed
by MIR. Weston himself.
He does not deny that this walk
requires a tremendous amount OF en-
durance and perseverance. and has
declared several times that in order
to be able to walk long distances a
man must posses proper physical
constitution, a certain amount of
pride and principal and finally main
tain his physical and mental qualities
in working condition by avoiding
abuses of self-indulgence.
At the age of twenty-eight, Weston
walked from Portland Maine to Chi
cago in the fast time of thirty days.
This was his first great record. He
took part in many other long distance
walks, and established many records
for the various distances. In Septem-
ber, 1907, he walked the same dis
tanee from Portland, Maine to Chi
cago, and made better time. despite
the fact that he was much older. This
proved conclusiyely that he is as
sprightly on his feet now as he ever
was. In 1879 he undertook TO walk
5000 miles in 100 days, and he
covered the distance in that time,
feeling no i'll effects afterwards. On
MAY 25, 1908, Weston left San Fran
cisco with the intention OF walking
to Los Angeles. He completed this
walk of 500 miles in eleven days
reaching Los Angeles on June 5th.
At one time during this walk he
made SO miles in sixteen hours, a
feat heretofore unprecedented.
Apart from his feats of pedestrian
ism. Mr.. Weston, who is little, gray
man. is wonderful not only in the
habits of life. He uses no stimulants
of any character while walking and
his daily fare is of the simplest. lie
is as we'll preserved as leather ana
as hearty as he is healthy. He has de-
liyered several stirring lectures on
this tour, dealing with pedestriasism
and its advantages. A royal reeep-
tion will be rendered him when ne
reaches San Francisco.

WITH
PRESIDENT
NEWLAND> MAKES
SOME QUERIES. HOWEVER. Re-
GARDING ENACTMENT OF
PROPOSED CORPORATION TAX


WASHINGTON. June 25.-While
agreeing that President Taft's cor
poration tax is an easy and effective
way of securing needed revenue for
the government, + graduated in
come tax can not be adopted, Senator
Newlands of Nevada, in addressing
the senate today raised the question
as to whether + would not be wise.
in enaeting the proposed excise law,
to follow the exact yerbiage Of the
tax imposed BY the war revenue act
and under consideration in the
Spreckies case. lie also asked
whether equally beneficial results in
the shape OF revenue, and equally
beneficial results in securing publity
of and supervision over corporate
concerns could not be secured by it..
Mr.. Newlands asserted that while
the tax which the president recon-
mends is, as he declared, "an excise
tax on the privilege of doing business
as an artificial entity, ana of freedom
from joint partnership liability by
those who own stock. the tax sus-
tanned by the supreme court in the
Spreckles case was not of this nature
but was simply tax imposed IN the
occupation of refining petroleum or
sugar, whether done by person,
firm or corporation.
'If the tax suggested by the pres
dent" continued Mr. Newiands, Is
to be regarded as an occupation tax
may not the question be raised that
the result of uniformity is broken by
applying this occupation to corpora
tions alone and nos to natural per
sons
IF, however. It be held that the
suggested tax is. as the president
asserts, a tax upon the privilege OF
doing business as an artificial entity.
that is to say tax upon the right
to do business as d corporation, may
it not be eontended that the cor
poration franchise is the creation Of
the state sovereignty that the power
of tax is the power TO destroy and
that the nation has no power, for
this reason, 70 tax the privilege
granted by the sctate?
Since the tax on the rehners Of
sugar ond oil, measured BY their
gross receipts above certain amount
has been approved by the supreme
court. Mr.. Newlands suggested that
lie could be easily enlarged so as 10
include all manufacturers of goods
protected by the tariff and that II
could be made as little yexatious as
possible by relieving the small
manufacturers by its operation.
