that the people realize that the corporation
tax will fall on small corporations as well as
large ones. and that when this was thoroughly
understood a opposition would spring up
Failing to obtain a stamp tax, the New Workers
would prefer the inheritance tax, although taey
would agree this only compromise.

Berlin, Germany, June 1.-Oficial
circles are aroused at the charges
made by American senators that the
German government has been supply
ing statistics of German trade conji-
tions calculated to have an effect ON
the American tariff legislation. 1t is
charged that statistics ON German
wages shows them to be higher than
in America and German trade journ-
ais allege the Interior Department has
been giving away trade secrets with
the result that the Am erican tariff will
be adjusted in such a manner as to
prevent exports to the United States.
German newspapers contain savage
attacks on the Foreign Office for CIV
ing the "impudent Yankees" informa-
tion on vital statistics. The matter
is likely to come up in the Reichstag.
