How John Gallagher Saved his Money

Senator John Gallagher of Lyon
county, one of the best known citizens
i'll the state of Nevada. has always
borne the reputation of being exceed
ingly shrewd i'll money matters.
y few days ago the senator visited
the races ut Reno. 1t is not recorded
that he lost any money. However,
there was another, unknown to John,
who did and John took advantage of
the other mans loss to prevent de-
probation of his bank roll. 1t appears
that the stranger lost heavily OIL one
of the events, throwing his tickets away
after the race. Gallagher saw the per.
formance and Immediately picked up
the cast away pieces. When he reached
town one of his friends asked him for a
loan. The senator took from his pocket
the tickets, bemoaning his loss as he
did so and informing the would-be bor-
rover that he was completely ont of
funds.-Carson Appeal.

Dry farming has proved to I've u
success in every state that has tried it
along scientific lines. Many farmers
have joined the congress and are
receiving the educational literature
issued by it and are profting there

Burns, Billings. Montana. will result
in securing literature on this subject.
y convention of dry farmers will be
held ut Billings, October 90. 81 and %.
Representatives from all over the Unit

interested is invited to attend.
Over 10000 acres of arid land has

CORPORATIONS
TO BE TAXED
Plan Now before Congress with Possibility Of
Becoming an Early Federal Statute.

ed the wisdom of the suggestion and
said if it strikes the attorney gener-
al and secretary of state favorably,
the amendment will be drawn ac-
cordlngly.
Another important feature related
to the interest Of bonds on corpora
tions. The consensus of opinion was
that the tax should not apply to
such interest for the reason that in
many cases it would amount to dou-
bic taxation Particularly would
this be true Of savings banks which
hold the bonds of corporations.
The senators told President Taft
that it would be necessary to find
some way to prevent corporations
from SO manipulating their stocks
and bonds as to evade the tax on
earnings. President Taft said pre-
cautions should be taken to make it
impossible to avoid payment OF the
tax by corporations.
Senator Aldrich told the president
a 2 per cent. tax on the earnings of
corporations would produce SAC. 0.000,-
600 revenue annually.
/ Several senators who attended the
dinner stated tonight that the ad-
ministration plan for an amendment
providing for tax on earnings Of
corporations and submitting to the
states the question Of amending the
constitution so as to authorize con-
gress to levy a tax on incomes would
be adopted.

Washington, June 20.-President
Taft entertained at dinner tonight
the republican members of the
senate finance committee and Sena-
tor Root, and there followed con
ference on the proposed tax on the
net earnings of corporations.
On account of the absence Of Sec
retary Knox and Attorney General
Wickersham, little was accomplished
beyond a general discussion. This
left no doubt that the president and
the senate leaders are in absolute
| harmony and entirely favor the cor
poration earnings tax.
Mr.. Wickersham will meet with
the president, Mr.. Knox and Mr..
Root tomorrow. The proposed
amendment will then be drafted and
sent to Senator AldricI for presenta-
ton to the senate.
It can be stated authoritatively
that the amendments will apply to
! all corporations, without regard to
their capital stock. It is likely, how
ever, that the tax will apply only to
earnings in excess Of 5000 a year.
4 This will remove the burden from
small corporations without subject
ing the measure to constitutional
objections by reason of the exemp.
tions. This provision was worked out
by the members Of the finance com
mittee today and was explained to
President Taft. The latter recogniz
