WAGE WAR ON
CORPORATION TAX
LAWYERS BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT READY TO PRE-
SENT THEIR CASE

Washington D. c., March 11-From
briefs filed in the supreme court Of
the United States In opposition to the
corporation tax, lawyers who have ex-
amined them have drawn the con-
clusion that one Of the principal fights
on the constitutionality Of that mea-
sure is to be waged over the question
whether II is an improper tax on the
power of states to grant franchises.
Frederick r. Coudert, counsel In two
cases in which the tax is opposed, fea-
lures this attack on the law. He ar
CUES at length against the so-called
infringement by the federal govern
ment on the rights of the states.
"The power to grant charters says
he in his brief, lis one Of the oldest
Of the state powers. 1t antedates the
revolution. Taxation with it's logically
concommitant potential destruction OF
this power by the general government
would thus be an attack upon and pos
sibly the humiliation Of one OF the
greatest and Oldest state functions" 7
In the brief Of John G. Johnson and
Frederick J. Stimson, in opposition to
the tax in another case, they conclude
their argument by this quotation from
former Chief Justice Marshal:
mo political dreamer was ever wild
enough to think of breaking down the
lines which separate the states and OF
compromising the American people into
one common mass"
Jed l.. Washburn, in brief in favor
of holding the tax unconstitutional re-
fers to the same point as follows:
IF whatever the United States has
the right to do" said he, individual
states have no right to undo as has
been stated, it is equally true that
whatever the individual states, in ex-
ercise Of the reserved power under the
tenth amendment have the right to do.
the congress Of the United States has
not the right to undo"

Rail WAYS TO
ANSWER TODAY
BOTH slDEs CONFIDENT WAGE
SCALE MATTER WILL BE
SETTLED AMIcABLY.

Chicago, March 1.-THE $4,000 or
more firemen on the 100000 miles Of
railroads west, northwest and south
west of Chicago, who by vote au.
thorized their national officers to call
strike if the railroads refused TO
grant wage concessions, will receive
their answer from the railroads to-
morrow.
At that time the general managers
of the railroads will formally notify
President w. S. Carter Of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen just what their position Is IN
regard to the demands. 1t may be sew
eral days later before the union OFF,
Gals and the railroad managers again
meet to determine what shall be done.
This arrangement followed confer
ence yesterday by Mr.. Carter and tho
firemen's delegation with the railroad
managers committee, Of which w. c..
Nixon, general manager Of the st.
Louis & San Francisco railroad, is
chairman Managers of nine other
western roads were present. The fire.
men presented their vote, showing that
Sc per cent Of their membership We're
against accepting an agreement for
improved working conditions without
any increased wages. The railroads
were told that the vote authorized q
strike, should the union officials de-
eide on it. 1t was then stated that
the railroads would make their report
in writing today.
Confidence was expressed on both
sides that strike would be averted
and arbitration would be resorted to.
A prominent official said last night 1t
was unlikely the railroads would grant
the wage demands.
"If all the demands Of the firemen
were fgranted the wages would have
to be increased 22k per cent, he said.
This is a greater increase than the
railroads can afford to pay. Moreover
it would necessitate similar increase
for all other employees. Such an in
crease on the Chicago, Burling.
ton & Quincy road alone would mean
additional expense Of s5,000,000 an
nually. II all the railroads Of the
country entered into any such increase
they would have deficit Of over 4
per cent a year. At present one-half
Of the railroad gross receipts goes out
for labor, and to increase that expense
by such an amount as is asked for by
the firemen would bankrupt us.
'These facts will be impressed upon
the firemen and we do not feel strike
will be called We even hope to settle
the dispute ourselves without the aid
of arbitration. Tomorrow the managers
will det0rmine what answer to make
to the report Of the socalled strike
vote and joint meeting of employers
and employees will be called later on. /"

.HALLEY'S COMET
IS COMING SOON
NO DANGER OF COLLISION BE-
TWEEN EARTH AND WANDER
ING PLANET.

Travelling toward the earth at a
speed of several thousand express
trains is Halley's comet, and although
1t is 100000 times larger than the
earth, there is no danger of a collision
between the comet and this planet.
While reports have been circulated
that the world was coming to an end
with the collision of the earth and the
comet, this is declared all bosh by
Professor Edwin B. Frost, director of
the Yerkes observatory near Chicago.
Old Mother Earth will not be affected
by the comet, because it is made only
of gaseous materials and not solids.
Prof. Frost was being questioned
about circular sent out by the AS
Economical and Astrophysical society
of America, which is to send IN ex-
petition to the Hawiian islands to
observe the comet. The circular
states:
"In view of possible large perturba-
tions arising from the close approach
Of the comet to Venus on May l and
to the earth on May 10, meridian OBJ
servations are especially desired dur
ing the period in which the comet is
sufficiently bright for that purpose"
What are these possible large
perturbations?" Prof. Frost was asked.
"That merely means, was the re-
ply, that on those dates the comet
will be near enough the planets men,
toned to be affected by their attrac-
ton"
Twill that affect the orbit Of the
comet?"
ut won't affect the orbit of Venus
or the earth, but it is likely to af-
feet the comets orbit. That is one
reason why we want to get meridian
observations, which will show almost
exactly these orbital changes.
There will be an interesting spec
tacle, by the way, on May 1, when
the comet is near to Venus. The
planet and the comet will be practi-
cally the same distance from the earth
and every one will be able to see
their relative SIZE"
"And the comet will, Of course. ap-
pear much smaller?"
"Oh, by no means! The comets bulk
exceeds that of Venus about 100000
times. 1t is not solid matter, however,
It is gaseous and it's mass is compare
lively slight. Therefore its attrac-
ton will not affect the planets, while
the solid, heavy planets are likely to
affect it good deal. The earth and
Venus are about the same size, so
that the earth, too, is almost one-nil-
lionth of the size of the comet.
"The close approach Of the comet to
the earth,' continues the circular,
promises unusual opportunity for a
study Of the physical conditions that
obtain in such body and, as an in
dispensable basis for such study, the
committee recommends photo
graphic campaign as long and as nearly
continuous as possible. The comets
close proximity to the suns brilliance
imposes serious limitations upon this
program and widely extended coop
Grafton will be required throughout
the whole circuit Of the earth If this
ideal Of a continuous Photographic
record is to be even remotely realized. :"
