SAVE TIE LUCERN.

80 y u 4
We understand that tho alfalfa leaf
weevil has been doing damage to the
lucern onEthe east side of this valley
for some seasons past, though little
attention has been paid to it. Now
the pest has appeared on the west
side too, and the damage is so extern
ssive MS to have become almost d cali
Eainity. It is all the more necessary to
take heroic measures for the exter-
mination ofsthe insect.
Prof H. G. Titus of the Utah Elk
pertinent station, has stated that the
only remedy known is to cut down the
plants that harbor them and to disc
and harrow the affected fields so as
TO prevent the insects from developing
and attaining maturity.
This Is n matter the farmers should
attend to at once, They need not
wait for the Legislature to meet and
make a laW about 1t. When such an
important crop is In danger, there
should be united effort, without con
5pr,lsion, to meet it and to save the
farms from loss. And this is all the
moro necessary when the destruction
is threatening to spread to other parts
of the State.

TO TAX THE CORPORATION.

President Taft's proposal to levy a
seems to be fair substitute at this
time for tax on all large incomes.
Such a form of taxation Is expetient
because the revenue which it will yield,
probably sso,Ooo,oO0 per year, is needed
by the government. 1t is practicable.
tain. 1t is Just. equitable, and not bur-.
densomc, meeting all of Adam Smiths
canons OF the best form of laying taxes.
President Tafts message on this sub
feet that such a tax, since it accom-
#pltshes the same object as an excise
supreme court, presents no question of
being unconstitutional. He therefore
recommends IAN amendment to the
tariff bill imposing upon all corpora
tons and joint stock companies for pro-
fit. except national banks otherwise
loan associations, an excise tax meas
ured by 2 per cent. on the net income
or such corporations. This is an ex-
else tax upon the privilege of doing
business as an artificial entity and of
freedom from a general partnership
liability enjoyed by those who own
stock"
The care which has preceded the put
ting forth OF this recommendation by
the President is Illustrated in the use
OF the term met income in place of
met earnings The former phrase as
interpreted by the President, Score
tary Knox, Attorney General Wicker
sham, Senator Rect and Secretary Ma
gel, all lawyers OF high standard, is all
the money the corporation has made
outside its operating expenses For in
stance. the tax must be paid by a rail-
road before the railroad board sets
aside any of the GROSS earnings for inn
provements, sinking fund, dividends on

that make a ruler responsible to a
