OPPOSE CORPORATION TAX,
Protests Reach Congressman From
All Parts of the Country.


WASHINGTON, June pa food of
kilograms nearly equalling that which
swamped the wires during the anti
railroad pass fight, is pouring in on
senator's in opposition to the corpora
tion tax. Most of the kilograms come
from persons interested in building
and loan associations, but practically
every character of corporation Is rep.
resented. Most of the senator's re.
ceived from twelve to fifty telegr ans
today and some at least 100. In view
Of the vehement tone of the protests
and the fact that the kilograms are
from business men highly respected in
their communities, some senators
pledged to vote for the administr alton
program said today that they are
feeling some concern as to the wisdom
OF their course.
Unless there is a change of senti.
ment throughout the country, it would
not surprise many members of con-
gress if the corporation tax should be
abandoned in conference and the in
heritance tax feature, which was
adopted by the house, should be re.
stored. In the event of such action
the indications are that the senate
should vote it's acceptance.
With the tariff schedules disposed
OF and the door locked against the
present intrusion of amendments, the
senate today began the consideration
OF the income tax and corpor alton tax
questions.
The question of taxing incomes re.
ceived attention while the tea provis.
ion was under consider alton, and it
was then that the most interesting oc.
currence OF the day took place. This
was the announcement of the real
attitude Of Chairman Aldrich of the
finance committee toward the corpora
tion tax provision which he had in
troduced at the instance of the presi.
dent.
1t had been for some time reported
that Mr.. Aldrich had become an ad.
vocate of tax on the earnings of
corpor ations as the most effective
means OF defeating general income
tax. Mr.. Aldrich stated his own DO.
sition, which was in accordance with
the rumors. He confessed his advo-
cacy OF the corporation tax as q
means of defeating the income tax.
Mr.. Aldrich also said be thought for
the next year or two there would be a
deficit in the treasury receipts which
he was willing to have made good by
the income from the proposed COR
poration tax.

tin, a laborer, and an unknown man,
both employed in digging we'll at .
ranch two miles south OF Clyde Park,

known man at the top believed that
he had been hit by falling rock and
shouted for assistance.
On the arrival of q party of men the
unknown man insisted upon going
down the we'll and bringing up his
partner. He was let down in the
bucket. He securely fastened the body
OF Martin to the bucket and gave the
word to pull them up. When about 1S
feet from the top he tainted and fell to
the bottom, striking his head on boul.
ders at the bottom of the we'll.
Later man named Pearl volun.
teered to 20 down after the man, al.
though it was now known that the we'll
was full of the black damp. BY hold
Ing his breath Pearl was able to de.
scend and bring the man to the sur.
face. Life was then extinct. There
was nothing on the body that would
give a clew as to his identity.

Democratic Senator Proposed Pro-
lection For South Carolina Product.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-Many peo.
pie defied the torrid weather and went
to the capitol today to see started the
fret sen atorial bill for an income tax.
Senator Brown endeavored to obtain
unanimous consent to take up the
income tax resolution. Demurring to
this suggestion, Senator Bailey point
ed out that such course would be in
contr avention of q unanimous consent
previously recorded for the consider.
alton of his income tax amendment.
Senator Tillman lost no time in re.
newing his effort Of having duty OF
10 cents pound placed on tea in the
interests of the tea growers of South
Carolina. The South Carolina sena.
tor told of the superior quality of the
American grown tea and of the enor.
nous profits made in the imported
article. In reply to question he said
he believed that with lthe duty asked,
the south would not only be able to
supply the American market, but
would eventually export large quan.
titles.
Senator Dixon suggested q bounty
as means of furthering the infant
tea industry and was strongly sup.
ported in making that suggestion by
Senator Smith of Michigan. Senator
Tillman responded that he did not
propose to be caught in advocating a
bounty. He would not;accept boun-
ty, he said, if a dollar a pound was
offered. He was not seeking any
selfish advantage for South Carolina,
butwanted to benefit the entire country.
Senator TilIman's amendment for
duty Of 10 cents pound on tea, was
defeated by vote of Is to IS.

TAFT JOLL|ES DEMOCRATS,

Troubles Of Their Own.

President Declares Republicans Have
Troubles Of Their Own.
New HAVEN, CONN. ,June30.-Pres.
tdent Taft paused In the course Of an
after'dinner speech to 1900 graduates
OF Yale, gathered at the annual alum.
nj dinner today, to utter q note of
warning to congress and to the leaders
OF the republican party. The presi.
dent declared that II the party failed
to live up to its promises and the OK.
pectations of the people it would be
relegated to the position of minority
opposition.
The presidentspoke extemroraneous-
ly and his remarks as to the republi.
can party's duty seemed on the sud.
den impulse rather than of studied
preparation.
"1n suggesting differences among
democratic" said Mr.. Taft, II am far
from ignoring difficulties on our side.
l remember in 1904 that Charles Fran.
cis Adams gave what l call q good
Adams reason for the election of the
democr attic candidate over the repub.
lican candidate. He said that one of
the essentials of successful free gov.
ernment was patriotic and efficient
opposition and that as the democr attic
party had utterly failed in reaching
that ideal, be was in favor of putting
the publican party in that place.
Now, venture to say that may not
be the reason which shall move the
American people, it is true that if the
republican party does not live up to
its promises and what the people ex-
pect of it, it will be relegated to a po-
sition like that of his majesty's op.
position. And, therefore, l may say
by way of caveat that we have troub.
les of our own"
The Yale men caught his meaning
and the significance of the emarks
coming while the tariff debate is in
progress, however, and they stood
and cheered for several minutes. He
had been speaking of Secretary OF
War Dickinson, democrat, upon
whom Yale today conferred an hon.
orary degree. He taunted the democ-
racy with the best of good humor as
to its present day condition and this
led him into the declaration as to his
own party.

MEMORIAL DAY.

AT a regular meeting of the
Managers of Rosemont Cemetery,
held on Monday evening, May 3rd,
and which, by invitation, was at
tended by representatives of Ent
Post
1t was moved not to allow bands
of music and concourse of people
and children to enter the cemetery
grounds, when and while the
Memorial ceremonies were in
progress.
After discussion of the subject,
Mr.. Holmes moved to amend as
follows:
That Ent Post, c. B. Brockway
Camp Sons of Veterans. and school
children with flowers be allowed to
enter the cemetery and circle for
Memorial services.
Seconded by Mr.. c. c. Peacock
And after more consideration
and discussion
Mr.. Peacock moved to amend
Mr.. Holmes motion as follows:
That the cemetery gates be
closed at p. IN. and opened to
the public after the aforesaid bodies,
to-wit: Ent Post No. $50, Brock
way Camp Sons of Veterans, and
children who are in the procession
carrying flowers, leave the ceme-
terry grounds.
Mr.. Holmes seconded the above
amendment, which was carried.
1t will be observed that the pub
lie and the band are not to enter
during the Memorial ceremonies,
but after they are concluded and
the Post and Camp and flower
children have left the grounds the
gates will be opened; but perfect
decorum and quiet must be observ-
ed by visitors and others. Hereto
fore much damage has been done
by the careless tramping over graves
and grounds which must be discon-
tinued.
