aOonespon6ence Of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
Washington, June 2S.
An amendment TO the proposed corpO-
YstiaD tax provision of the tariff bill was
submitted TO the Senate by Mr.. Culber-
son. II provides that either House of
Congress or any committee shall be
furnished on demand any information,
evidence reports made in connection
with the administration of the law. Sem
ator Clspp said that in the preparation
of the tax amendment the question of
corporations holding the stock or other
corporations had been overlooked and he
offered a substitute to remedy the error.
In The tsx amendment, as drawn, il is
provided that the tax need not be paid
by a corporation upon the dividends It
receives AOm stock or other corporations
OF which il is the owner. The Olspp
amendment is 10 strike out that prOvis-
ion, the result being that holding COM
psnies would pay the special tax on the
dividends of the subordinate corpora
tions.

MONDAY EVENING. JUNE IS, 1909.

WHETHER Fridays action OF the SEN
ste in refusing to place duty Cd crude
petroleum was q defeat or victory for
STANDARD Oil, the big octopus won an
uumislakable victory Saturday, when
the Senate, without even a formslity OF
a roll call, took the products OF Petro-
leum from the free list and permitted
them 10 be taxed in whatever schedule
they might fall. This will insure vary
ing degrees of protection to the 7OO'odd
petroleum products on the appraisers
lists, most of which are made by The
standard Oil or Its subsidiary companies.
It will be a cold day in July when the
STANDARD Oil Company lie defeated in
O1ngress.

While tire regulars, led by Chairman
Aldrich, sre revising the tariff upward,
aud while q iea progressive senators
are vainly struggling to revise it down
ward, to redeem the party pledges, the
Idaho senator insists that the tariff
needs no revision one way or the other,
and that the best thing is Just to stand
pat. Certainly It would be better for
the country to let the tariff remain as at
present than to adopt the Aldrich bill.

SuSTA|NS LEGISLATURE

Helena. Nov. 22.-The supreme court
To-Day handed down a decision sustain
Ing the action of the legislature in
making tax levy of 2La mills for this
and next year. This will permit of
the use of funds established by legis-
iative appropriations. An Injunction
was sought tn prevent these expendi-
tures on the ground that the total
assessment next year would reach
s3oo,000.o0o. under which he cnnsti
tuition called for n reduction of the
rate to ~ mills. The court holds
the basic law is not self executing.
but after the limitation has been
reached no future legislature may
make a greater levy than IL mills.
The court in another decision re-
manded for new trial the Butte case
of o'Meara against McDermott, where
In the plintiff had been awarded

aminers by the Billings Chamber of
Commerce concerning the use of In

Montana product being S59.251 in Hell
ena greater than the Bedford product
The statement Is also made that on
April Is, Mr.. Jacobs, the lessee of CO.
lumbus quarry, appeared before the
board and the architect and gave a
price of 81 and s2.25 a cubic foot on
the Columbus output. The architect
then figured on this price in esti-
mating the cost of the whole build
ing, allowing S16l.16l for the Column
bus stone. This is about the cost of
Bedford stone. on November 10. Mr..
Jacobs gave other and higher prices
to the bidders. and the board says had
