have been no negotiations whatever
with us in regard to the matter and
there is every reason why we should

We knew nothing about it until the

1t is true that we own large block
of stock in the American Telephone

one OF our many investments. We
never have had and have not now

MERRITT ~RENOMINATED.
Majority Leader in h Assembly stu
Imposed 10 Direct Primaries.

UTICA, June 23.-The attitude OF Edwin
A. Merritt. Jr.. OF Potsdam, the ma
jority leader in the State Assembly.
who was renominated last night for mem
Der OF Assembly and who formally an
nounoed to the convention that he was
still q foe OF Gov. Hughes's direct pri-
mary proposition. "a a subject OF con-
siderable discussion hereabout to-day
among politicians OF high and low degree.
In the cours OF his speech accepting
the denomination Assemblyman Merritt
entered into a discussion OF the subject
OF direct primaries. He said that there
wat no demand for them. and that those
| voting for them were mis~repreeenting
their constituencies. He added that he
was opposed TO the direct primary bill
and voted against 1t in the Assembly,
and would continue to oppose 1t until
the people OF his district expressed a
desire for such a law.
The speech OF Mr.. Merritt has created
disappointment among the followers OF
Gov. Hughes in st. Lawrence county,
especially in view OF the. fact that a direct
primary sentiment is fairly strong in
the Second district. which Merritt rep
resents. ..
Fred j. Gray Of Ogdensburg was unani-
mously nominated as the Republican
candidate for member Of Assembly from

CORPORATION TAN PLAN.
Details OF what h white House Con.
ference Decided.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-At last nights
White House conference over the details
OF the proposed tariff bill amendments
to place a 2 per cent. tax on the net in
comes of corpora tons, every feature
with one exception was agreed TO and the
phraseology of the draft OF the amendment
approved. This exception concerned
the section relating to publicity, In
a general way the publicity section was
approved and Attorney General Wicker
sham and Senator Root were intrusted
with the task Of putting into shape.
1t was decided at the " late House con-
ference that the proposed statute should
| provide that corporal ions subject TO the
? per cent. tax should make returns OF
earnings, DC, under oath and that their
sta tement should be kept on file IN the
| office of the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue for p~crusal at request and
for publication in newspapers or
through any other neal If de-
sired. But the White House con-
ferees reached the conclusion that it would
be unnecessary and undesirable 10 permit
publicity Of all the confidential details OF
corporate revenue or the evidence which
might be gathered by the Government in
an effort to ascertain whether the sworn
statements submitted were correct.
The sworn statements to be mace ny
corporations will he prepared II blank
form similar to those furnished to national
banks by the Comptroller OF the Currency
and made returnable by law.
The corporation must set forth It's gross
income. the mount OF It's stock Issues,
preferred and common stock beng listed
separately; the amount OF Its bonded
Indebtedness, the cost OF maintenance and
operation and other information to show
its pecuuiary status. Should the Sesre-
| tary Of the Treasury have reason to sus-
Dect that a corporation has made a false
| return, he will have authority under the
law to exercise certain inquisltoriaI power
to Obtain evidence on the subject. Pen
slties for violation OF the law are pro-
vided. ,
II was determined by the President and
his advisers that in order to prevent the
assessment Of a double tax the amount
| paid by Il corporation for taxation 10 a
State or other Government should be de-
Quoted from the amount OF the corpora
tons net income and the Federal tax
assessed on the balance
There was complete harmony at the
White House conference. IT the outset
it was made plain that President TAFT and
/ the Senate leaders intended to stick to-
gether in their purpose To carry. through
the corporation tax proposal, and that the
parties to the arrangement, the Adminis-
tration and the Republican organization
Of the Senate. each regarded it to its ad-
vantage to have the legislation enacted.
When the amendment is completed II
will be laid before the Finance Committee
at a meeting TO be held the latter part OF
this week. The committee will order a
favorable report on the amendment, which
will probably be presented in he Senate
by MIR. Aldrich, chairman Of the Finance
Committee, on Friday or Saturday.
