Stand BY TAFT.

Cedar Rapids Republican. The In
surgent senators have boosted that
they broke" with the President on the
corporation tax as substitute for the
income tax. They made terrible on
slaught on the proposition. going So
far as to charge the President with
completely with Senator A1drich in the
matter. But President Taft has stood
his ground, 1t Is shown now that his
idea is really 2 very advanced one,
having not merely taxation in view,
but federal supervision of corpora
tons. 1t is regarded by many as a
first step in the direction of such con-
troll over corporations as has been cali
ed for in this country. 1t is an idea
that was many times advanced by the
former President. Mr.. Roosevelt. Just
why the insurgent senators should have
attacked II is not clear to any one.
The income tar idea Of which they are
so much enamoured belongs to the
Democrats and its chief sponsor at
the present time Is Senator Bailey OF
Texas. One supreme court OF the
United States declared 1t unconstitu-
tional and it may be so declared again.
For ourselves. we are enamoured of
neither the income tax nor the tax on
corporations Both are extraordinary
and should be resorted to only in
times OF dire necessity. II such neces-
sity exists at the present time, then
we would prefer the corporation tax
because the simpler IN It's form and
the easier IN It's administration while
the same time It would place the gov
eminent In touch with the corpora
tons of the country. especially those
Of an interstate character.

TO AID IN CONSERVATION.

A plan by which the railroads of the
country are to take part in the con-
servation movement is on foot. This
announcement comes from the head
quarters of the conservation move
ment in the United States, the joint
committee on conservation in
Washington City The plan is
the outgrowth of conferences
and correspondence between rep
resentatives of leading railroads
and the joint committee. which has
been going on since early spring, and
which only recently has been brought
into definite shape. Some idea of the
Importance of the plan may be gained
from the fact that the preliminary ne
gotiation of the railroads have been
carried on by representatives. of the
American Railway Engineering and
Maintenance of Way Association. At
tention was also given the subject of
conservation at the recent meeting OF
the American Railway Master Mechan-
les Association at Atlantic City.
The enormous amount of timber and
iron used by the railroads, as well as
the great amount of coal consumed By
them, making the proposed plan one
of the greatest magnitude. For in
stance. President Vaughn OF the
American Railway Master Mechanics
Association says that every year the
railroads burn zoe, e00 900 tons OF coal.
The plan as now agreed on between
the conservation committee and the
railroads provides a systematic ar
rangement by which the joint commit

NEW LAWS NOW IN EFFECT.

One hundred and sixty-slI new laE
became effective In this state on the
Fourth The most important OF them
are the Cosson acts which define the
d-.ies of county attorneys, sheriiIs
and other officials who have police
powers and supervision OF the laws de-
signed to keep the peace. BrienE'
these new laws give any five citizens
the right to start impeachment pro
ceedinss against officials who DO not
enforce the laws against immortality
Another important statute known as
the Moon law limits the number
OF saloons to be licensed In city to
one for each 1000 inhabitants This
law win not have the effect OF closing
any of the saloons now in operation,
but when the resolutions OF consent
expire the number will be gradually
reduced
The anti-cigarette law, now
effective, provides that search war
rants may be issued for the discovery
of cigarettes or cigarette papers when
there Is a suspicion that they are be-
ing kept for sale or distribution con-
trary to the law. Another new stat
ute prohibits minors from smoksns
cigarettes except when in company
with their parents or guardians. and
also prevents others from giving or
selling cigarettes to minors. Two i'm
portan. employers liability laws are
now In force One of these provides
that employers shall be responsible
for injuries to employees on account
OF improper working conditions or inn
perfect machinery or appliances when
ever the employer or his agent could.
by the exercise of reasonable dill
gence, know that such conditions
exist. The other affects only railroads
and provides that the fact that an en-
ploye who is injured or killed in a
railroads service has been guilty of
contributory negligence shall not bar
recovery of damages. The amount OF
damages, however. shall be governed
| by the degree of contributors negli-
/ gence of which the employee shall be
found guilty:
Still other important new laws re
quire that the doors of all public build
ings, including theaters. churches
school houses. lodt.e halls. hotels. etc.
must swing outward, and that hotels
be equipped with rope fire escapes in
guest rooms. The latter statute also
provides for hotel inspectors who
must see that the law Is obeyed with
relation to fire protection and sanitary
conditions.

Dies Monies Register snd Leader:
The city OF Keokrk has adopted the
Dex Noines plan
Supposing instead the people of that
community had organized q corpora
ton to promote an electric power en-
serprise on the Mississippi and every
one had contributed his share to the
stock subscription.
In the latter instance what would
every stock subscriber be interesting
himself ins
He would not be celebrating as
though he had already declared
dividend He would be discussing
with his neighbor earnestly how best
to get a board of directors who would
know something about water powers
and electricity and who would give
time and energy to making a success
of the enterprise.
Would the people Of Keoknk under
such circumstances be much con-
cerned over which block the proposed
directors lived In? Would they say
this man is neighbor of mine and
/ want him chosen? Would this
man Is Republican" or 4he has
promised me a job" Or ~he is liberal
with his cigars or any of hundred
other like considerations cut any
figure?
And yet the people have more at
stake in direct financial way in
the good management OF the city
than they have In the good manage
ment of any corporation in the city.
The Des Moines plan is merely a
means to an end. It gives the people
chance to have efficient government.
But Keokuk must remember that even
gold mines have been made unprofit-
able by incompetent management.
The revival of public spirit that
leads any city to want better condi-
tons mus. not subside until it has
secured better conditions-in fact,
must never subside. For the moment
the stockholders begin to be indiner-
ent the directors begin to look out for
themselves Ever where private In.
terests are involved only q certain
proportion of corporate enterprises
succeed
The commission plan in Keokuk or
Cedar 2arids or Des Moines is only
first step toward good government.
It IS first step. however. and Keo-
kuk Is to be congratulated on having
taken It.
