CORPORATION TAX
IS TAFT'S THEME
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
EXPLAINS PROVISIONS.
Declares That It Embodies Many Of
the Best Features Of England's
Income Law.

DENVER. Sept q. - President
Taft tonight declared that the cor
porat!on tax was in itself the best
form OF income tax that could be
levied and pointed out that II con-
tanned many OF the best features of
the income tax OF England. In urg-
ing that the States should vote for
the amendment to the Constitution
permitting the levy of direct in
come tax, without apportloning the
proceeds among the States according
to their population. the President de-
clared that II Would be possible so
to amend the corporation tax as TO
include within its scope every de-
sired feature of an income tax except
the levy upon incomes derived from
actual salary and professional SER
vices.
The President said he opposed d.
rect income tax except In cases OF
emergency and he believed II to be
prime fault in the Federal Consi-
tuition that no provisional is made
for the direct levy to meet wartime
or other extraordinary expenses.
Taft declared that II was the SUI
preme Court decision declaring un-
constitutional the income tax law
passed by Democratic Congress
some years ago that prevented the
leaders In Congress during the ses-
sion recently closed from including
In the corporation tax measure a pro-
vision for levy upon bonds and
bondholders. To tax bonds would re.
suit In the reduction OF the rate OF
interest and hence this resulted in a
direct tax upon the individual hold
ers of the bonds and came In con-
tact with the decision or the Court
that no direct tax could be levied
by the National Government without
the resulting apportionment OF the
proceeds among the states.

The President based his argument

though he died a long time ago he can
get into a man s bosom or woman's bosom
the same as he ever could; that the bosom
is where he delights to hve that he had
the faculty of forgiving the wrongs some
people had done to other people as well as
to himself; that he has been able to for
give these sins ever since he was killed.
just as well as he could before he was
killed, and that he has big heaven Nd
big hell somewhere, the exact locationstf

Yes, sir, these spook house gentlemen, as
1 have named tbsm, not only believe these
great tales about their friend Jesus, but
they will sneer ct the intelligence of the
that it takes to Aeer at the man who re-
fuses to accept these claims made for
"Friend Jesus!" Such sneerng puts me
in mind of the little boy who would sneer
at the grown school teacher when she told
him that it was not true that there was
Santa Claus, who roamed the heavens
with a reindeer team, hunting tall chin
neys and little boys stockings on a certain
night of the year.
The learned gentlemen of the spook
house schools of thought believe the tales
about Jesus and his two fathers, god and
the ghosts, just as the little boy believes
the tales about his friend Santa Claus
They are no further along than the boy.
The learned gentlemen in your country
who have thrown your friends into prison
because they have suspected the existence
of the sacred spooks, called Goods" or
what not, are in the position of the little
boy whose mind is filled with the glOries
of his friend with the reindeer outfit
only the boy would scarcely throw his
skeptcal friend into prison for saying that
there was no such parsonage with the rein
deer team that if there was he did not so
down chimneys and hunt for little boys
stockings.

HALLEY'S COMET AND JESUS.
Suggestion That This Known Astronomical
Occurrence Might Have Been Mis-
taken for So-called Star of
Bethlehem.
(By Manly A. Brigham.)

There have been many speculations as to
what planet may have been so brilliant in
the sky about the time the birth of Jewish
redeemer was expected as to impress the
minds of the recorders of the birth of the
son of Joseph and Mary, who was named
Jesus, as a special star sent to herald the
event. Of course there is the possibility,
and as Mangasarian shows large one that
the whole story was originated as a play,
and had no foundation in fact but grant
ing that there was some real happening
upon which the story was based, and that
about the time of the birth of Jesus the
sky was illumined by brilliant light thai
seemed to be moving rapidly, we can not
help wondering what light it was.
1t has always seemed to me that the
planets were common sights in the skies
of those days, even though what they were
was not known, and that one of them would
not have been taken to relate to any par
ticular event. The other day it occurred to
me that possibly comet might have been
seen and that would have been of sufficient
strangeness to have impressed the minds of
men. And when in later years, the man
who was born near to the time when the
comet was in the sky, was proclaimed as
the savior, the fact was remembered and
made to do duty in the manner that it ap-
pears in the gospel story.
In calculating the orbit of Halley's comet
it is found that not many years from the
time Jesus is said to have been born it must
have been crossing the earth IS orbit. 1t is
not impossible that allowing for the varia-
tions in its time orbit, and the uncertainty
of the year of Jesus birth, that the events
may have been in the same year. 1t is
likely that the comet was sighted then by
the first of January. 1t is calculated that
it will appear this time about the first of
March. A rough calculation of the cycles
of the comet makes it appear about the
year 16 A. d. 1t is easily seen that those
few years may be closed in upon from both
sides, and narrow the difference materially
between the two events, if not bring them
together.
/ just suggest this matter, hoping that
some of your readers who are well versed
in astronomical lore will find out if there
is anything tangible in the idea. The mat
ter may have been written of by others, but
I have never seen anything upon the sub

BLUE GRASS BLADE.
NEW SUGGESTION FOR PROPAGANDA.
(By Julia c. Coon.)

Now that the Blade has become paper
that Freethinkers can be proud of, why
would it not be a good plan to print an
extra large edition, and arrange with all
subscribers who can to employ newsboy
in the respective towns and cities to sell
the paper. The Blade is attractive in size
and appearance, and should sell readily for
sc copy, the newsboys adding the name
Freethought to the title. l began to inquire
where a Freethought paper was published
three years ago, and / found no one here
who had ever heard of one. And l believe
there are thousands of others who are
awakened to the false foundation of Chris
tianity, but who have never CHANGED to get
in touch with the Freethought press. We
ought to devise some way to reach them
When we realize how greeat fraud Chris
tianity is, and its mighty power in holding
the people in poverty, ignorance and
slavery, we are not entirely free from self
censure that we have reached so few, while
millions are yet to reach.
At our barbecue at this place nearly
every Adventist man, woman and child had
bundle of Adventist propaganda, offering
to sell to the general public at 10c a copy.
These people are Jealous in their cause be-
cause they fancy they are appeasing the
wrath and courting the favor of jealous
fend. Surely Freethinkers may have as
much zeal to defend freedom and truth as
these people an ancient myth.
1t has long been one Of my hopes to see
Freethought newspapers sold on the streets.
And now that real organization is alta hand
it seems to me a most fitting time. Per-
haps it would be best to try the experiment
with a special edition, with optimistic let
ters on organization, your good editorials
mailing Christian SANDER, and short selec-
tions of Ingersoll's eloquent appeals, and
Paine s good, sound logic The very best
arguments for Freethought, truth, morality
and humanity should go in irrespective of
originality, for it would all make new read
ing for the greater part of the purchasers.
For my part would want no better answer
to the vilifiers of Paine and Ingersoll than
leaves from their books and pamphlets.
people who have never read word of their
writings.
And then let us have news. News Of
Freethought progress, organizations, papers
and magazines, able lecturers and writers.
We have them, and "nothing succeeds like
success" and letting the world know
about it.

methods of growing cotton was the prin-
cipal topic of discussion at the morning
session of the Southern States Commits

The invasion of the Mexican boil weevil
and methods of culture that will mini

prominent part of the discussion.
Among the speakers was DR.. w. d.
Hunter. chief entomologist of the United

discussed the boil weevil from a national
viewpoint, it's progress across the cotton
belt and the methods being used by the
government to make the growing OF
cotton both possible and profitable in
spite of the weevil and its ravages.
Hon. r. L. Bennett, of Texas. discuss

relating some of the latest practical ex-

There was a general discussion relative
to the best varieties adapted to the boil
