OGDEN CORPORATIONS MAY
MAKE PROTESTS.

The large corporations of Ogden
are now facing the problem of what
10 do In the matter of meeting the
requirements of the corporation tax.
| which took effect on August 6 last,
and already several companies have
decided TO pay the tax. but to do so
under protest.
Royal E. Cabell, who assumed the
duties of Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue on September |, has not yet
issued detailed instructions and regu-
lations for tho guidance of internal
revenue collectors. but they have all
been officially notified of the provis.
Ions of Section 3S of the Payne-Ald
Iich act, and they are now engaged in
compiling lists of corporations having
their principal business offices In the
several districts.
The new law taxes every corpora
tion. joint stock company, association
or insurance company, both foreign
and domestic, doing business within
the United States, which shall pay a
special tax of l per cent of the entire
net income of the company doing
business Of $4,000 or over each year.
The law applies to all corporations
with the exception of agricultural or
labor organizations or beneficiary
lodges or organizations for religious,
educational or charitable purposes.
Special representatives of the gov
ernment are in Utah inquiring into
corporation affairs and making a pre-.
liminary list of the companies which
VIII come within the law.
A prominent officer OF one of our
large corporation said yesterday there
was no serious objection TO paving
The tax, but there was ground for pro.
test against the publicity which is re.
1uired, the records of returns on the
tax to be open 10 public inspection
He pointed out that In case a com.
pany Is in financial distress. the
spreading of that information VIII az.
feet its credit and that If a concern
Is making large profits, much adverse
local sentiment may be created.

edly will be tested. as was the income
tax measure. Special agents had

There is one objection to a corporn.

suppression of abuses. especially con
man nature arisen from two concen-
trated control of public utilities. On
the other hand, the first reception OF
the Presidents plans is apt TO be con-
sidered too seriously Mr. Taft is

he cares nothing for spectacular dis

against the creation of a national leg
islative situation similar TO that cur
rent during the closing years of tho
preceding administration, Mr.. Taft
has shown no disposition to arrogate
to himself any powers not acknowl-
edged TO be well within the province
Of the executive. He is not endeav'
oring TO be at once the legislative
branch and the executive branch of
the government. Therefore his rec.
concentrations are likely to be thor
oughly discussed and their value ap-
prised before they take their place on
the statute books The restriction
upon the arbitrary issue Of securities
will provide a distinct check upon the
character of concentration so clearly
exemplIfled in the Hartman system
OF railroads, or. TO go still further
back, in the Gould and Vanderbilt
systems. A check upon arbitrary fin
ancing means a check upon combina-
tions that as a first requisite must
have the necessary financial backing;
and the net result, therefore, will be
that com mbinations would not be pos
sible until examined and approved.
The Presidents ideas may therefore
not be considered highly revolutionary
in themselves. But not the least of
the depressing features connected with
their progress will be the tendency by
parties affected by them to dstort
their true significance. 1t may thus
be taken for granted that congress

the source of no little uncertainty and
