TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE %. 1909

THE fight to substitute the corporation
tax for the income tax will begin In the
Senate today and, upon the eve oil the
contest, the president is exerting nim-
self to obtain favorable consideration LOT
the proposition in the House, after II
has been acted upon by the Senate.
MIR. Taft had as his guest st dinner last
NIGHT q number of Influential House
members representing different sections
of the county, with whom he discussed
the corporation tax and upon whom ne
impressed his own views that it should
be made part of the tariff Law. de Is
snown to feel confident that if the meas
ure goes through the Senate the house
gill accept it, either as an ADDITION u
,be inheritauce tax or as SUD-
.d,u,e for that provision. One reason
this conference is justified is that
she most conservative of the House
members are urging that there
should be no split between the majority
IN Congress and the president because ne
Sftbere develops obvious irlct'on' !! VIII
only Increase the probability OF 'n'
Oon,inat;on of Theodore Roosevelt three
wears hence. Even the corporation con- D,
trolIed sentiment Of New England Is oil
in favor of maintaining the greatest aP'
pearsnce Of harmony between tne iegiS
Iative aud the executive branches ol 'n'
government, even if it lecomes heces-
ssry to make concessions to the president
In order that there may be no cause LOT
a stampede to Roosevelt and away from
Taft when the next national convention
assemblies. This line OF reasoning II
hsviug it's effect upon the reactlonarles %
the Senate and is strengthening the ln'
fuence of President Taft, If he wishes
to exert it In legislation.

PRESIDENT TAFT has himself re-
opeBed the question of what is pur'
whisky, and began yesterday hearing ar
gumenls on the subject All the differ
eut whisky interests are represented BY
attorneys. The hearings were resumed
TODAY. Such widespread dissatisfaction
has been shown concerning the recent
rulinV of Solicitor General Bowers that
the president refused to be guided by the
findings of that officer. 1t has been
contended that in reversing the ruling
of Attorney General Bonsparte the 80
licitOr general had eGectuslly nulIified
the pure food law, so far as 1t relates to
whisky, and had opened the way to the
preparation of fraud upon the public
1t was this charge, 1t is understood, that
prompted the president to investigate the
matter for himself. Should he wish to
be relieved Of any responsibility OF de-
oision the president can turn the matter
over to certain Alexandrisu who is on
record as having stated that some whisky
may be better than other, but none is
too bad to drink.

Another Bow commits sulcide.

Paris, June 29.-The authorities we're
shocked today by the discovery Of the
body of fourteen ear-old Louis Vounaix
in the cansl, making the eighth child
snicide record this month. The papers
have sought scientific explanation Of this
sudden development of suicidal mania
on lbs part of children and much has
been written about it, with little or no
concensus OF opinion. The most ac-
cepted theory is that this shocking rec.
ord for the month is the result of the
power Of suggestion given through the
publicity Of the child snicides and ia at
trib1lahle to the defective mentality be-
coming more and more prevalent among
portion Of the Paris poor.
