CABINET TALKS TARIFF.
Corporation Tax Amendment Dis.
cussed at Length.

Washington, July 14.-For the
second time in its young life the ad-
ministration nurtured corporation
was subjected to close
scrutiny at a cabinet session.
The attorney general had provided
for the returned prodigal new raj
ment similar to that which Ii wore
on its first journey from the white
house to the senate. The per cent
tax on net earnings had been re-
duced to l per cent, and other
changes were made which convinced
the president that II would be safe
to let the youngster venture once
more TO Capitol Hill and test its well
come.
Although the amendment is fully
for the journey, its distin-
guished sponsors have decided to
keep II under their sheltering care
until the tariff conferees have pro-
ceeded far enough to give the cor
poration tax feature the glad hand
and especially until the defenders of
the measure have been consulted.
Therefore 1t will remain with Attor-
ney General Wickersham until the
conferees are about ready to report.

THE PUBLIC FORUM.


Roosevelt on Riches In the Outlook.
In one of Lowells biting satires
he holds up TO special scorn the
Snug, constituencies creature who
refuses to consider the morality of
any question OF social ethics by re-
marking that "they didn't know
everything down in JUDGE" Il is to
be wished that some of those who
preach and practice a gospel of mere
,materiallsm and greed and who speak
as IL the heaplng up OF wealth by the
community OF by the individual was
in itself the be-all and end-all of life,
would learn from the most widely
read and Oldest of books that true
wisdom which teaches that IL is well
to have neither great poverty nor
great riches. Worst OF all is II to
have great poverty and great riches
side by side in constant contrast.
Nevertheless, even this contract can
be accepted II men are convinced
that the riches are accumulated as
the result of great service rendered

The movement which has become
so strong during the past few years
to secure on behalf or the nation
both an adequate supervision OF and
an effective taxation of vast fortunes,
so far as their business use Is con-
cerned, is a healthy movement. 1t
aims to replace sullen discomfort,
restless pesslmism, and evil prepare
ton for revolution, by an aggressive,
healthy determination to get to the
bottom of our troubles and remedy
them. To halt in the movement, as
those blinded men wish who care
only for the immediate relief from
all obstacles which would thwart
their getting what Is not theirs.
would work wide-reaching damage.
Such a halt would turn away the
energies and forceful men who desire
to reform matters. from a legitimate
object into the channel OF bitter and
destructive agitation. The reader OF
Prince Kropotkin's Memoirs must be
struck by the damage wrought to
Russia by tine unwlse opponents of
all reform who, by opposing every

of the public business
Moreover, the status of franchise
owning corporations soon would be
fixed, when the public mind became
clear on the subject, to the interest
both of the public and the corpora
lions. At present there is a feeling
of dissatisfaction on both sides. The
public, not fully acquainted with the
matter. feels that the corporations
are not bearing their share. Corpor-
alton officials realize the situations
they have to meet and the expensive
means necessary to meet them. With
the segregation Of tax bearing prop
erty, hard upon constitutional
amendment. an overhauling of all
laws. regarding such franchises
would be in order, and the status Of
corporations fixed for all time.
An overhauling of the Legislature
would also be in order, before any
intelligent attempt at tax revision
could be thought Of.

THE TAX BURDEN

One suggestion of the state tax
commission fastens the attention
that experience has shown that diff.
ferent classes of property can now be
taxed for state, county and city pur-
poses. There Is hope in that sugges-
tion. At present tax affairs are SO
muddled that state. county and city
taxes are heaped up, until many
people hesitate to invest their saw
ings. and the Psalmists would be
justified in reiterating. this time
without qualification. "All men are
liars"
Much complaint is heard in Padu-
cab, which pays fully 90 per cent of
the county's taxes, and yet county
officials today begrudge spending a
little OF the county's money to drain
the section adjoining the northwest
part Of the city; because they fear
country residents will vote against
them at the approaching election. If
they spend any of the revenue,
where most of it comes from
II is true, that whatever benefits
any part of McCracken county in
some manner also benefits Paducah I;
but we ask is II not equally
true that whatever benefits
Paducah benefits McCracken county
even more? Land receives its value
from convenience to market. Land
adjoining Paducah on the west Is be-
ing sold at the rate Of 81, 200 an acre,
and yet its owners do not spend a
cent in improving the city. do not
pay taxes commensurate with city
values and would object If the coun-
ty should spend ever so little OF its
funds inside Paducah. There is in
Justice here. and the injustice falls
most heavily on the man, who by
denying himself, has acquired a
modest home and has no more.
IL a certain class of property
could be exclusively taxed for county
purposes: and another exclusively
for city purposes and still another
for state purposes. a man
would know just what he was getting
INTO when he acquired property, and
through the responsibility Of that
property for certain public expenses,
would have a personal interest In the
,ublic affalrs that would hold his at
ention fixed on the character OF can

midable opposition of the Courier

Journal appears to assume in the
matter. is that OF Golfers Weekly,
in opposition TO the commercializa-
tion of Niagara Falls. The esteemed

to have fiourished here ere the foot

remarked that there is a great clamor
on account of the assessment of prop
erty to pay for the drainage OF the
pond.

THE AIREDALE TERRIER.
Yorkshire Dog Popular In United
States and Germany.

From Bit ana spur
Yorkshire has produced many noted
breeds of animals but none more popular
or mors widely known than the Airedale
terrier. the omega of the long list OF dogs
recognized by the American and English
kennel clubs as pure bred. Forty years
ago the breed was not known, the origin
being. il is said, a misalliance between an
otterhound dog and bull terrier bitch.
In the early '70s the Airedale was a
shaggy-looking customer. with no preten-
sions to any ancient lineage. Among those
who took an interest in the rough-and-
ready rascal the dog became knowrf as
the waterside terrier. being shown as such
about 1852 He was renamed the Aireda lie
terrier for the reason that il was in the
valley of the River Aire. which runs
through Leeds. Bradford and smaller cit

days the Airedale was used for rafting
along the rivers and for hunting rabbits.
From the first. however. the Airedale
caught on with the well-to-do. and his
qualities as q companion, guard and hunt

More recently Americans took up the

Medium Loses II Pounds.

FROM Mctlure's.
During the experiments in Milan IL was
found that the medium lost weight In a
manner that could In no way he &C.
counted for. The medium and chair in
which she was sitting were placed upon
the scales, and their combined weight
was carefully measured. She was then
watched carefully to see that she threw
nothing away. and also to see that she
derived no support from the surrounding
surfaces-the floor. etc. Nevertheless, in
the course OF from twelve TO twenty Sec
onds. Eusapia lost about seventeen and a
half pounds in weight. At the fifth sit
ting a similar reduction was observed
under conditions which the investigating
committee considered perfect.
No one who has seer the effects OF a
seance upon Eusapia Palladino could
doubt its genuine character, as far as the
medium Is concerned. At the conclusion OF
a seance she is faint, dizzy, nauseated ey.
tremely weak, occasionally vomits and
remembers little that has occurred dur
ing the seance. while her face becomes
deeply lined. greenish yellow in color, and
appears to be shrunk almost to half its
natural size. Moreover. many abnormal
occurrences take place. quite apart from
the phenomena themselves. Thus, dur
ing one seance, Prof. Morselli Of Genoa.
