THE CASE AS TO THE PAPER
TARIFF.

Perhaps as TO no other schedule has
the case for revision downward been
made more complete and convincing
than in the case of paper. In the first
place there is the demonstration of
facts IN the whole matter. The House
special committee made a most ex-
hsustive inquiry, which the House ac-
cepted as honest and sincere, and which
Is the more entitled to be accepted at
this appraisal in view of the fact that
the special committee was regarded as
unfriendly TO revision, yet after getting
all the facts recommended a sharp re-
duetion of the duty.
The committee found that labor costs
are larger in Canada than in the
United States. It found that wages
are actually higher there than here. 1t
discovered that the cost of paper per
ton, all elements considered, is greater
there than here. It set forth the facts
about the combination and capitalization
of the paper makers to control the
American market behind the tariff
protective wall
Then there was shown the certainty
that if the American consumption must
90 on eating up the supplies of paper
making woods this country viii be
swept of all these supplies before many
years. The plea of conserving natural
resources was strongly urged in favor
of free pulp and the reduction OF the
duty on paper.
But what moots it The Finance
Committee, admitting that it has paid
little or no attention to this exhaus-
tive investigation, is for rate just
twice as high as that which the House
adopted. There IS protest and disaffec
ton, but the leaders insist on then
program.
The truth about paper has beer
shows beyond uncertainty. A great
combination controls the business II
this country, and wants a high tariff
in order that it may charge high prices
This combination has great number
of mills which are almost obsolete II
which paper can be made only at higl
cost These are controlled along witt
others which are modern and excellent
and in which low costs are possible
The whole combination is vastly over
capitalized. 1t needs the tariff TO pro
tect it in the privilege of earning re

REVENUE AND THE CORPORA.
TON TAX.

President Taft informed Congress
that he understood the corporation tax
would raise about s25.OOO,OO0 annual
revenue It is understood at that time
the corporation tax was designed to
be a tax on net earnings as commonly
accepted. That Is, it was to be a tax
on the residue of earnings after fixed
charges. operating costs, etc, had been
paid. For illustration, take a 60, pora-
kion which has sl,OO0JOO0 gross earn
iBes. It's bonds require $4,000 ont of
this; wages and operating expenses,
Insurance. taxes, etc, absorb $500 600
more; there is finally left SI00,O 900
which Is available for dividends, sur
plus, etc. This 100000 alone would
be available 10 be taxed under the
net earnings plan.
But there has naturally enough been
objection to this method. The bond
holder gets away with his interest,
which IS a fixed charge. and cannot be
impaired. The corporation tax doesn't
affect him. SO the proposal is now adj
vanced to make a definition of net
earnings which viii subject TO the
tax, not only the money available for
dividends and surplus but also that
available for payment Of interest on
bonds. This would get TO all classes
Of security holders.
But would it2 Les that proposal be
examined.

Dutch Are Not Slow Eaters.

"The Dutch may be slow in some
things" said a man who was recently
in the land of the Half Moon, but not
in all things. Talk about American
haste In eating! never saw any one
ON this side of the water consume food
so rapidly as the average Dutchman.
The way that your true Hollander
Furnishes a steak, say, Is a caution. I
have watched him time after time in
restaurants in Amsterdam and The
Hague, and ! know whereof | speak.
His method is simple. He cuts the
meat into strips. and divides the strips
into minute portions. making a kind
of hash. all at the greatest speed. for
Dutch muscles are good and they
have sharp steel knives. Then the
fork comes into lightning play, the
meat and whatever else is on the
plate being transferred to the mouth
the shortest possible way and with
astonishing quickness. The whole OPP.

WOULD REFORM SALVATION
Germans Form Society to Change the
Ancient Native Manner Of
Bouinu.

A number of Germans who resent
the ridicule of visiting foreigners on
the native manner of bowling, have
formed a society for it's reform. The
correct way of greeting a friend in
the Fatherland. of either sex. is to
bend to an angle of 80 degrees, re,
nov the hat slowly and reverently,
dropping 1t with stiffened arm until
it reaches the knee, and replace it in
the same manner
Progressive men are revolving
against a custom which dates back to
a period when people had time for
ceremony. and the reform manner of
greeting consists merely in touching
the hat without removing it.
The first member Of the reform so.
ciety to carry out the new idea was
a young official who greeted the chief
Of his department with nothing but
a short nod, and a raised hand. He
was at once arrested for insubordina,

checked the progress of the reform.

FAKE EVIDENCE TO ORDER
Manufacture Of False Testimony Has

Recently a very conspicuous ID.
vorce case has furnished an excellent

often wonders at the number of wit

hand, especially when persons Of
great wealth or social position are
involved.
has come to be a fine art in New
York" remarked a prominent Grimm
al lawyer the other day. AN unscrup.
ulous lawyer can buy witnesses by the
dozen from scores of different occu.
pations who will testify anything you
please, and do 1t at a surprisingly
reasonable figure. I do not mean to
say that lawyers of any standing buy
them, but the supply nevertheless is
large. Nor do the lawyers have to
look for It. 1t is brought ready made
to their doors. Let a big divorce suit
come up and the lawyers are at once
besieged with offers by these accom-
modating witnesses.
The witness supply is especially
large, as might be expected, in the
Tenderloin. If a bell boy is needed
to identify the defendant. an elevator
man to swear that the victim was out
of bounds, a maid or n cabby to give
the most damaging evidence from per.
sonal observation, they may be found

people have become with legal usage,
