Rough Draft of Amendment
Laid Before Cabinet.
DRAWN BY WICKERSHAM
President Taft Does Not Consider
Two Per Cent Excessive and the
Amendment When Submitted to the
Senate Committee viii Contain
That Provision-Executive Defines
Meaning of Net Earnings.

Meaning of Net Earnings.
Washington, June 23.-Attorney
General Wickersham laid before the
president and the cabinet a rough
draft of the tariff bill amendment
which provides for the imposition Of a
per cent tax upon the net earnings
of corporations. The cabinet was in
session for more than two hours and
the various questions of constitutional
posed amendment to the tariff bill
were thoroughly discussed.
A conference is to be held at the
White House at which all of the Re-
publican members of the senate
finance committee will be present, to-
gether with Attorney General Wicker
sham and Senator Root.
There seems little doubt that the
amendment as it will be turned over
to the finance committee will provide
for per cent tax and that it will
exempt net earnings below $4,000.
There still exists the chance of an
amendment to the amendment on the
senate floor reducing the rate of the
tax.
Not Considered Burdensome.
President Taft, however, does not
| regard per cent as in any way ex
| cessive or calculated to be burden
| some. On a corporation earning 800,
/ 900 a year, for instance, the total ta1
would be only $4,000. leaving $9S,00C
| available for dividends.
/ The report that In a definition o
net earnings the new law would pro
vide for the levy of the tax on the
| income of corporations before the pay
| ment of their contract charges or In
| terest on bonds did not meet corrob
| Grafton at the White House. Thu
president, in discussing this phase o
the matter with callers, expressed thu
opinion that there was no way IL
which the law could equitably b.
made to apply against bonds or bond
holders, the latter being entitled to
fulfillment of contracts made prior t.
the passage of the law.
The president does not believe ther
will be attempted evasion by the issu
ance of new bonds. The rate of tiXe'
interest to be paid on these bond
would be in excess of the tax.

the Leather Industry in the United
States Was Built Up by Our Pro-
tective Policy
Washington, June 23.-"No more
striking illustration of ingratitude
could be imagined than that which has
been shown by the manufacturers of
leather and leather goods who seek
TO deprive the stockman and farmer
of the little remnant of protection
ieft to him on hides" said Senator
McCumber of North Dakota, defend
ing in the senate the proposed duty of
15 per cent ad yalorem on hides. The
fact, he said, that the United States
does not produce all the hides it used
was an argument in favor of protect
ing the hide industry to promote its
development to the stage when the
United States will be able to supply
the home demand.
Senator McCumber's speech was a
plea for the farmer as against the
manufacturer. THE gross injustice of
this demand for free hides becomes
more startling" he declared, when
we remember that our protective sys-
tenn has built up these leather manu-
featuring industries and enabled them
to dominate not only the American
market, but to enter every other mar
ket of the world Having secured
these advantages and defrauded the
American farmer of duty on calf
hides the manufacturers have had
their appetites whctted for further ad
vantages and with a lobby, amazing
in power and influence, they seek to
destroy the last vestige of protection. .
Favors 25 Per Cent Duty.
Mr. McCumber stated frankly that
he wanted tariff of 25 per cent upon
hides
A little bOasting of the relative
amount Of devotion to Republican pol
icies on the part of North Dakota anC
Vermont ushered In a colloquy be
tween Senators McCumber and Page
The Vermont senator thought his
state was a little more simon pure
Republican than was North Dakota
and twitted Mr.. McCumber with the
suggestion that North Dakota had {
Democratic governor.
"Oh, yes" responded Mr.. McCum
ber, with evident reference to the dis
tribution of protective duties, "tht
state of Vermont has a little more Il
encourage her devotion to the Repub
lican cause"
Senator Clark of Wyoming, inter
rupting, declared that Mr.. Page, II
advocating free hides. wanted tn
government to go into partnership
with the leather trust to beat the bee
trust and all at the expense of thu
farmers.
Senator Gamble of South Dakot
also spoke in favor of duty on hides
mo assurance has been given tha
any benefit whatever will accrue u
the consumer of leather goods by tn
admission of hides free of duty" b.

 BROwDER IMBROGLIO.
Fire Chief, Likewise, h siIent-Ethicz Agreed By Mayor Al neason for
 Not ClearfnE Muddle.

That the fight Is only begun against Fire Chief Browder and that an ef- fort will be made to prevent his re- CT term. Is generally conceded by city officials. The effort to dfsplace Chief Browder will be concentrated. 1t is, said. on pressure to be brought to bear on Mayor Gunter to prevent Mir. Brow der's appointment for another term.
 The mayor was asked yesterday whether the report submitted to the council Monday night by majority of the joint fire and water works com- mittees would have the effect of pre- venting Mir. Providers re-appointment. He said: "This report has not been adopted by the council and l can not say definitely what my action may be after the report is adopted or laid up- on the table by the council as the case may be. The council may see it to adopt the minority report of the com- mittee to be submitted by Alderman Thompson and 1t can readily be seen that it would be manifestly out of place to state my probable action. If 1t be based upon presumed acceptance by the council of the majority report"
 T will not say that the adoption of the majority report of the committees will influence me not to re-appoint Mir. Browder nor do care to state that I shall re-appoint him ip the face of such a report.r
 MT. Browder. when asked for state- ment regarding the turn the fight on him has taken. declined to discuss the matter.
 Alderman Thompson is expected to submit the minority report on the in- vestigation at tonight's council meet ing.

COMER NVADES HENRY
GOVERNOR TELLS FARMERS THAT
 THEY CAN MAKE WINE.
Again Declares He will Pardon Any Convicted of Violation of Law He Approved-spesks at
 AbbevfIIe

Abbeville. Oct. I9.--(Special )---Gov- ernor Conner addressed large audi ence in the court house yesterday morning at II o'clock. The court room was packed and perhaps slS or seven hundred people were present to hear the governor.
 The audience consisted tor the most part of farmers from all over Henry county. Circuit court Is in session and large number of people are in atten- dance. He was introduced by pr. c. !. Owens. who Is county chairman of the amendment campaign committee.
 The governor first discussed his ad- ministration measures and presented statistics showing how the states money had been expended. He ridicul- ed the idea that Judge sWeakley had received any of the old soldiers money. He took ID step bv tssp ts pisgress which he had made in the fight with the railroads After he had finished his defense of his administration he discussed the prohibition amendment to the constitution. He said that the object of the amendment was not to prevent any citizen from keeping whis- key in his home, but 1t was to close the blind tigers and shut up the locker clubs. He stated that man could Keep any amount of liquor in his home and could treat as many of his friends as he wished and as often es he wished.
 The governor said that he would par don any one convicted of making wine for his own use. He gave vivid de- scription of the wreck and ruin which whiskey has caused and said that of the 2.500 convicts in the state that 1.- 500 were convicted on account of liq- uor.
 There is no doubt that the gover- nor's speech has ouqyed up the hopes of the Amendment forces in Henry county. The indications are that the county is going to be close. Both sides are claiming the county. but by small matorities.
 Governor Conner spoke to good crowds at Haleshurg yesterd " after noon and at Balukum last night He spoke at Newyille today at ten o'clock and at Headland in the afternoon. He returned to AbbevilIe tonight and will go to Eufaula early Wednesday morn ing.

Montgomery Proof

Mrs. Fred Jansson. 22S Dexter Ave. Montgomery. Ala, says: T believe my kidneys became disordered as the re- suit of too much housework. Often I grew so tired that had to give up everything. My back at times gave out completely. and It felt as if a heavy weight were bearing me down. When these attacks were at their height, the kidney seeretions passed too frequently, became very nervous and suffered intensely from headaches. I used almost every remedy I knew of. but did not find relief until took Doan's Kidney Pills. On occasions since then when have used them it never required more than 9 few doses to give me relief, I have no hesitation in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills to other kidney sufferers

 Cincinnati. Oct. 9-Representatives of trade organizations from St Louis. Pittsburg, Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo. Cincin- natl, Richmond, Evansville. Terre Haute and other western cities held a meeting here today to make a protest against twhat they declare Is q cam paign on the part of the railroads for a general advance in freight rates The object is to combat the argu- ments for higher freight rates. as made in pamphlet recently issued by the chairman of the trunk line association. This pamphlet declares that the pur- chasing power of railroad earnings is less than in 1897 and that therefore frieght rates should be advanced at least ten per cent.
 The trade organizations aver that the true basis of comparison of rail- road operations is net financial results. On this basis 1t is declared that the carriers sworn statistics show the fol- lowing: Net income for all railroads in the United States for 1907 was s449.- 461.18s; for 1897 it was s81. .257, 506.
