A WOMAN TO CONGRESS.
Colorado Women Have a Candidate
and Propose Vigorous Campaign.

Colorado Women Have Candidate
and Propose Vigorous Campaign.
Colorado women are to make a de-
termined effort to send one of their
sex to congress two years hence. Such
was the announcement made to the
visiting delegates from the lnterna-
tional Council of Women at Denver by
one who spoke for the women's asso-
Citations in the state.
1t was Lady Mcmillan, who talked
OF suffrage to the house of lords for
four hours and then stopped only be-
cause they ordered her to desist, who
brought out the statement. She put
the question point blank to the Den
yer women who were entertaining her.
All are agreed that Mrs. Sarah
Platte Decker is TO be the candidate
aud that every feminine resource will
figure in the contest and that move
toward preliminary education OF the
voters on this line must be made soon.
Mrs. Decker herself says she has
never considered the matter seriously
owing TO her belief that there is a
federal statute or constitutional pro-
vision that women cannot be mem
bers of either house Of congress, She
believes, however. that they should be
entitled to seats In the nations legis-
Iature and is confident that their pres
ence there would be beneficial to the
people. One OF her chief hobbies is
drastic anti child labor law.

stormy session, in which Payne left

Get-Rich-Q Quick Schemes
Are FZdty Condemned

Atlanta, July 8.-The commercial secre-
taries Of the south will cooperate In pro-
tecting the public against questionable ad-
vertising and get-rich-quick schemes.
This was the gist of one of the important
resolutions adopted before the Southern
Commercial Secretaries association ad-

night.
IRE advertising resolution was intro
dNeed by NJ. B. Srrezcvsnt, secretary and

Ing into two classes, one embracing all
advertising in publications entitled to Sec

street cars, on public billboards and on
theatre programmes, and the other en-
bracing all other public advertisements
secured by solicitation. All advertising
in the second class Is to be investigated
and passedSupon by regularly appointed
committees.
Another resolution on the same line pro-
vided that members of the association
agree to notify the other secretaries of

CORPORATION TAX
WILL Be HELD UP
ConstitutionaIity of Law Will Be
Tested In Courts
NO CHANCE FOR REVENUE.
Officials of Department of Justice Be-
Ileve That This Part of Tariff
Bill Will Be Knocked Out
BY the Courts.
NO CHANCE FOR REVENUE

Washington, July s.-Confirmation of
the large corporations of the country
will seek to hold up the collection of
taxes under the corporation tax bill IL
that measure is enacted, by an appeal
to the courts to test the constitutional
ity of the law, was given here today
by a prominent official of the treasury
department who has just returned from
New York and who refuses to be
quote by name.
The possibility of suspension of this
expected large source of revenue and
the possible necessity In that event of
a bond issue by the government to meet
the situation in the treasury has
caused concern not alone to the treas
ury officials but to political leaders,
who point to the political consequences
attributed to the bond issues of the
Cleveland administration
1t would be within the provision of
court, 1t is conceded, to permit the
taxes to be collected subject to a re-
fund. but such a course is unusual and
II is well known fact that money
once paid into the treasury is exceed
1ngly hard to get back and even when
returned Involves multiplicity of COM
phcations. Secretary of the Treasury
MAC Veagh is out of the city. but an
official of the department of iustice
declared today he believed the bill as
now framed Is clearly constitutional
and that any action looking to a test
OF constitutionality would not prevent
the Secretary of the Treasury from nro
ceedlng to collect the tax in the usual
way.
Inc department of justice officials not
only believe the bill if enacted. will
be found to be constitutional. bur that
pending determination of the case IN
the courts If such action is taken. the
collection of the tax Will not be inter
rupted.
Should the tax bill be declared to be
unconstitutional the persons paying il. In
MS opinion, would have ample recourse
to compel its return but even should the
courts decide to grant a temporary in
Junction restraining the secretary from
coilectlng the tax, 1t is pointed out that
the secretary has ample resources at
hand with which to meet all obligations
and fully sustain the governmen credit.
The government receipts are now in
creasing at gratifying rate, but should
necessity require the secretary may. at
any time in his discretion under the laws
now In force, issue up to $40, ,0Oo, 900 PAN
anna canal per cent bonds, and in adj
dition, he Is able under existing laws to
issue up to s100,00O,0OO 8 per cent treas
ury certificates of indebtedness. Thus.
1t is claimed. no matter how the courts
may act In any supposed case, the treas
ury is In no danger Of being short of
funds
Attention was called to the fact that
the bill has been framed by some of the
brightest lawyers in this county and It
was said that 1t is unlikely that their
combined efforts will result in a meas
ure at variance with the provisions of
the constitution.

LEGISLATION IN TARIFF
BILL CAUSES ALARM

This is the argument made by the
critics
A bureau is proposed to be estab-
lished In New York with chief In
charge. over which the treasury de-
partment would have little say. Es-
pecially would this be the case If
strong and aggressive man gets at the
head of the appraisers, and it is gen
orally expected that Marion Devries,
now chairman of the board. is slated
for president.
Whether he would build up a small
bureau of his own, with great powers,
without much reference to the treasury
department. cannot be told with GER
tainty, but this Is what is expected.
The opponents of the plan think the
bill has been deliberately drawn to clip
the wings of the treasury department
and increase the importance of the
board.

Washington, July S.-(Special.)-
good deal of appreh ension the shaping
of the proposed legislation in the tariff
bill with respect to the board of gen.
eral appraisers. In the customs service
and the treasury department there Is
not much relish for the expected law,
in so far as 1T applies to this board.
1t is looked on as comforting altogether
too much auth ority on the president of
that body and as subordinating the Gus
toms officials in Wash ington.
Under the proposed law the president
of the board would virtually be the
board. He would be in position to dom
mate 1T and dictate its policy. The re-
naming members would be helpless.

In no case will the burdens of the people
be lessened, but they show where prices
will become more oppressive all along
the line of those articles which are known
as the necessaries of life.
In its desire to find what the tariff bill
has In store for the people of Washington
and the whole country, Washington
newspaper this afternoon secured opinions
from leading merchants Of this. city, men
who represent the greatest enterprise and
success of their various lines of endeav-
or; men who deal in glass and chinaware,
men who sell suits of clothes, druggists,
those who deal in groceries-all OF them
sound pessimistic note, and find not a
ray of hope of better prices for the con-
sumner.
In one instance, even, the opinion was
ventured that the pending bill, before
it has become a law, may have already
resulted in the raising of prices.
These men spoke without any reason
to wish to appear pessimistic. On the
contrary, 1t would be to their advantage
to have the people believe that the pro-
posed law would do wonders for them in
the matter of lowering prices But they
spoke their minds, and their honest con-
victions are that the consumer has a
hard road ahead of him.
