Washington, June 17.-Recommend-

Of corporations and also the adoption
of an amendment to the Constitution
providing for the IMPOSITION of an
income tax without AN apportionment

Taft sent to congress a message en-

This action followed protracted spe-

building and loan associations, CT an
excise tax of per cent on the net
income of said corporation. This, it
is estimated by him, will bring an an.
nual revenue of $25,000,000.
''This is tax on privilege and not
on property" he says, "and is with
in the federal power without appor-
tionment according to population
The president points out that an
other merit TO the tax on corpora
lions is the federal supervision, which
will give to the government, the stock
holders and the public knowledge of
the real business transactions and the
gains and profits of every corporation
in the country. The adoption of the
amendment, he says, will make long
step toward that supervisory control
of corporations which may prevent a
further abuse of power"

132 to 149 feet higher than the long
accepted 29,002 feet. The mean of
these six values is 29.141 feet. The
Survey in the report it has just is
sued says that the height, 29,141 is
still probably too small, as it has yet
to be corrected for the effects Of de-
viations of gravity. But though 1t Is
a more trustworthy result than 29.-
002 feet the latter value will be re-
tanned for the present in maps and
publications of the Survey. There are
other problems Of refraction to be
solved and other uncertainties to be
eliminated and it would be a mis-
taken policy to introduce new values
at every step of the investigation
which is yet to be made. No change
of the figures Will be made in the
publications of the Survey until thor
oughly satisfactory scientific compu-
tations make it possible to give de-
termination of the height of the noun
tain that may be accepted as final.
The report adds that there is lit
tie probability now of discovering a
higher peak than Mount Everest.
Some geographers have held that
peaks higher than this mountain were
standing behind it to the north, but
when Major Ryder crossed Tibet
along the Brahmaputra in 1904 he
passed eighty miles north OF Mount
Everest and found no peak approach
ing it in height. For more than
half century since the discovery
OF this summit the mountains of Asia
have been continually expired but
no second peak of $4,000 feet has
been found.

Shin Home After "a Years

Twenty-four years is a long time
for a ship to be away from its home
port, but that is the record of a
whaling bark that has just locked
in New Bedford. The vessel left
New Bedford in 1884 for a voyage
around Cape Horn in whaling in
northern ATTITUDES. The ship brings
news that the whaling ships in the
Atlantic are generally making heavy
catches this season The whaling
business seems to have experienced
a revival, and with this New Bed

THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN.
Recent Computations Add to the Sta
ture Of Mount Everest

IOIS VI Vt0uuS 6VStSSSs
1t has been proved by the Geologi-
cal Survey OF India that Mount Ev-
crest is still higher than 29002 feet,
the result Of the computations Of
1S49 and 1850. which for over half a
century have been accepted as max
ing Everest the highest known sum-
NIT The mountain is at least 1879
feet higher than those computations
made it. Before mentioning how this
has been ascertained it may be well
to answer query that has doubt
less arisen in many minds and was
recently referred to by an English
writer who said it was ridiculous to
give the height of Mount Everest as,
29,002 feet because the determina-
tion of the height of peaks is liable
to errors of different kinds and to
give the elevation at exactly 29,002
feet implies a degree of accuracy in
the value of the height assigned to
the mountain that has not been at
tanned. He thought it would be bet
ter to say that Mount Everest is
about 10000 feet high.
The fact is that the value of 29,002
feet was not obtained from any one
station of observation. Six, trigono-
metrical values Of the height were de-
duced in 1S49 and 1850 from six
stations far to the south of the noun
tain. The mean of these six values
is 29,002 feet. Owing to the objec-
tions of the Nepalese Government.
Mount Everest cannot be approached
by surveyors from the side of India
nearer than eighty miles from the
mountain, and the observations above
mentioned were therefore carried out
under great difficulties.
But at last it has been shown Con-
clusively that Mount Everest, is
higher than the well known value
given to it. Between 1881 AMI 1902
a series of six additional observa-
lions from five different stations
was obtained All but one of these
stations are nearer to the mountain
than those from which the six de-
examinations of height were made in
1S49, and 1850, and the north as
we'll as the south side of Everest has
been included in these observations
The Geological Survey of India has
just corrected these results for, prob
able errors due to refraction and has
found that all these later values of
the height of the mountain are from

MORE WOMEN USE CABS.
Cheaper Cab Fares One Cause, Dearer
Frocks Another.

Probably more women In New York
use cabs now than ever before, this
| being due in some measure to the
present day cheaper cab fares. but
still more perhaps to the now greater
than ever costliness of women's ap-
parel, which prompts a woman caught
out in a shower to pay 80 cents or
a dollar or so for cab rather than
take the chance of damaging an ex-
pensive garment.
Naturally the cabman, who it
might be mentioned is not dull abou:
anything, is quite alert to this in
creased readiness Of women to hire
cabs, and he is far from slow in
taking advantage of it. Unlike the
farmer, the cabman reaps in rainy
weather; and his best harvests he
gathers in those heavy showers that
come up unexpectedly on clear days
and promise when they once ge.
started to continue in a settled rain.
In these circumstances, from where
ever he is if idle the cabman starts
for the ladies', and he knows just
where to find them.
Here, for instance. is a shopping
store over whose front entrance is
a great glass awning extending to
the curb; big awning with room
enough for scores of people under
it, and this space is now pretty we'll
occupied by women in fine clothes
who had come out under bright skies
to find themselves now on emerging
from the store caught in a steady
hard shower.
There are fifty women here per-
haps, in all sorts of glad garments,
waiting for this shower to clear up
or for other relief; and that other
relief in the shape of cabs has al
ready begun to come
Across the street Is a great hotel
with many cabs about. but none comes
from there, for they all are or will
be wanted by the hotel. From other
directions other carriages begin to
come, private broughams and coupes
for their owners and public cabs,
hansoms and taxicabs. these last in
numbers, their drivers hiking straight
for the big glass awning from under
which, as they know by experience,
it will be a cinch to snap up fare.
Up sweeps a taxi Or hanson. COM
ing with a rush through the rain,
and up as he halts goes the cab
mans finger for about one second,
which is quite enough. and out from
the throng comes woman who steps
into the cab, and the carriage man
on the sidewalk slams the door AMI
away sails the cab, everything on
the jump.
So the cabs come and go, swoop-
ing down from both directions till
they've captured and carried off

Good business for the cabman. Blu:
then things calm down a little and

SWIMM ING BATHS URGED.
Proposal to Have Them il All the
New Public Schools.

Swimming has been made part Of
! the education of the children in var-
| Gus cities. In the public schools
of Brookline, Mass, a pupi cannot
graduate unless he or she has a GER
tificate of ability from the swimming
master of the Brookline baths. Not
| only do the children of this Boston
suburb know how to swim bu many
OF them are skilled in the work OF
saving and resuscitating a dr.wning
person.
There is one class membership in
which is regarded as a high lonot
by all the pupils of the schools and
that is the emergency class. To
qualify for it the pupil must demon
strate his or her ability to swim DER
tain distances within specified
time One of the principal tests e.
quires the applicant to swim support
ing another person certain DIS
lance within a certain time limit.
England long ago adopted the idea
Of fostering the accomplishment Of
swimming in the schools. But they
go further than merely teaching the
pupil to swim. He is taught how
to save life. There are over twenty
thousand members of the English life
saving association, all of whom lave
had a thorough course of insruc-
ton.
There is a public school life saw
ing championship for which prizes are
given each year. Teams of little
boys and girls on the day OF COM
petition come from all parts of Lon
don. The teams are made up OF
eight members, and the members
range in years from 10 up.
They go through regular manoeu-
vres. With perfect step and time fonr
members step forward and jump into
of persons in the act of drowning.
Then the remaining four members
of the team dive into the water az
ter them and tow the others to safe
ty.
If a striking illustration of the
good results Of snch instruction were
needed ii could be furnished by two
incidents which occurred last summer
within two weeks of each other
hatboat used for ferry purposes was
slowly making its way across a rlVeQ
in the West with eighteen men.
About midway the craft was sunk.
Not a single man of the eighteen
could swim and so none escaped.
A couple of weeks later boat VITA
twenty-three girls was making IT'S
way across a stream in England.
When the boat reached the centre OF
the stream some one rocked 1t ana
all the girls We're thrown into the
water. They all promptly swan
ashore and there Was not a sinse
life lost.
The plan of the Brooklyn local
school board would make it possible
for nearly every child in the great
err city to have the chance to battle
and swim. A very important part OF
this plan would be the opportunity
afforded girls to learn to swim. BOYS
now have a dozen chances to learn
to swim where a girl has one.-New
