Raise Money from Lands.

Representative Mondel and his argu-
ment for a $4,000, LOCO bond issue to COM
plete the reclamation projects already
started in the West had a trying time
yesterday before the Ways and Means
Committee OF the House
Republicans and Democrats alike took
turns shying brlckbats at the PROPOSE
ton, and although no decision was
reached by the committee. it was evil
dent that Mondell had not converted
them 70 his way Of thinking.
You talk as though that land be-
longed 10 the people out In those States.
exclaimed Chairman Payne rather Sc
verely. ct does not belong to them any
more than It does to the people who
live In the cities. It is land belonging to
all the people, and when you borrow
money on it or sell It you are virtually
taking money from the general Treas
ury."
Monden pleaded that as the govern
ment had started many of these projects.
II had induced thousands of settlers to
make entries on the land. and was under
a moral obligation. II not legal one, to
finish the work.

House Committee Told EnsiaeeT

It's Quota.

The inadequaey OF the authorized num-
Der of West Point cadets to officer the

terday before the House Committee on
Military Affairs when the Young btu TO

sixty. and first Ieutenants from forty
three to hfty-six.
Gen Bell, Chief Of STAFF OF the army;
Gen. Mackenzie. retired, former chief OF
engineers; Col Abbott. acting chief en-
gineer: Mat. La Due. OF the Engineer
Corps. and Capt. Johnson Hsgood. of the
general stan. all favored the bin. though
offering different suggestions.
Gen. Bell urged that II the engineers
branch Of the service Is increased in size
and the number Of West Point cadets Is
not increased. the corps should have only
its quota Of West Point graduates, filling
the rest Of the positions with appoint
ments from civil life. but should have all
the West Point graduates It wants If
the West Point cadetships should be In
creased IN number by law.
The officers contend that West Point

almost impossible to hold a meet on
Long Island as late in the year as DC
tober," said Dir. Mills. More than oV
per cent of the days In October are
accompanied by winds of a velocity thar
would render flights on Long Islano
impossible, while the average for Wash
ington In the same month is something
less than Il per cent Then. too. the
Long Island Railroad could not offer
the facilities for transportation that
could be had should the College Park
site be chosen.
Mr. Mills says the members of Baid-
more end Washington clubs are much
.iucensed over the stand President Bishop
has taken in regard to holding the meet
here.
when President Bishop was here"
said Mr. Mills. The said that, without
obligatlng himself. he would do all In
bis power to help the local cause along.
After being wined and dlned here. and
having gotten all he could, he went
back to New York and has been working
against us since"
In regard to the objections made by
Louis Paulhan, the French aviator. as to
the adaptability of College Park for an
aviation meet. Mr.. Mills said 1.-THE
plans that Paulhan objects to are the
same ones that Wilbur Wright has APP
proved as ideal for an aviation meet.
Glen Curtiss, through his manager. has
also approved the maps Of tho triangu-
lar. rectangular. and straightaway
courses that We have submitted. The
fact that Wilbur Wright made his flights
there should answer any objections made
by Paulhan.
And one thing In regard TO Paulhan,"
added Mr.. Mills: when President Bishop
was here he told Col Joyce and others
not to permit Paulhan TO hold fights at
any of the parks in this section. He is
an outsider. and should not be allowed to
fly here Mr.. Bishop told the local aero
club men, Now he has turned about and
seeks Paulhan TO aid him In selecting
site on Long Island"
Charles J. Bell. acting president OF the
local aero club. when asked for his opin-
ion on the meet situation last night. said:
Il suppose IL New York wants the meet
the Aero Club of America, with its head
quarters In that city, will naturally de-
eide in favor OF the Long Island site
Washingtons only chance seems 20 de-
pend on the Weather Man. II the winds
and general conditions are not favorable
in October. there is a likelihood OF the
meet coming to this city.
II believe that President Bishop was
acting IN good faith when he came here

Bir. Bell when asked about the charges
made by Col Joyce that the head OF the
Aero Club was "stringing' the public OF
Washington and Baltimore. Il do not be-
lieve that Mr.. Bishop had made up his
mind that we were not 10 get the meet

The Washington herald., 1910-03-11

IN a sweeping decision rendered, In
compliance with a request received from
the Secretary OF the Treasury under date
OF January Is. Attorney General Wicker
sham yesterday held that all foreign
steamship companies whose vessels ply
between the ports of this and other coun-
tries are subject to the provisions OF the
corporation tax and must furnish an
accounting and pay into the United States
Treasury a tax or l per cent upon their
net incomes from business transacted
and capital invested in the United States.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Wickersham, the
law, as it applys to foreign corporations
doing business in this country. is explicit
and leaves no loophole that viii permit
OF an evasion OF the tax.
Home Officers Notified.
Coming unexpectedly as 1t did, the ac-
ton Of the Attorney General oceasioned
much speculation among steamship
agents. and the home Offices were at
once notified. 1t was the consensus Of
opinion last night that an effort would
be made by the steamship companies 10
evade the tax
While no figures are at hand, showing
even the gross revenue derived from this
commerce. some idea of the amount can
be obtained when it Is known that aside
from hundreds of thousands OF passen-
gers transported for the fiscal year 1908,
the total exports amounted to 1891, I27,-
Az. and the imports TO sfss7. sS7. 90.
In the opinion of the Attorney General,
foreign steamship companies engaged in
the business of ocean transportation OF
passengers. freight. and malls IN ships
owned by them, plying between American
and foreign ports. which companies main
tain agencies in this country where pas
senger tickets may bs bought and
freight received for transportation, are
corporations subject to the special excise
tax provided by the act OF August 5.
1865
A number of cases are cited in support
of the contention OF the steamship COM
panies that inasmuch as they are engaged
IN the transportation of exports. the tax
in question Is q tax on exports, and the
legislation is void as to them under that
clause Of Section 9. Article I. Of the Con-
stitution. which provides that mo tax
or duty shall be laid on articles exported
from any State"

STOPS FICTITIOUS REBATES.
Another Amendment to Railroad
Bill Made by House Committee.

Another Amendment to Railroad
Bill Made by House Committee.
The payment Of rebates TO shippers
through fictitious claims for damages 10
freight is sought TO be prevented In a
provision inserted IN the railroad bin at
a meeting of the House Committee on In
terstate and Foreign Commerce yesterday.
This amendment provides that in the
case Of the payment OF q claim for dam
ages where it is shown that such claim
was made only for the purpose Of evad-
ing the anti-rebate section the shippers.
as well as the railroad offending. shall
be held liable.
Under the present law the carrier only
suffers IN cases where the anti-rebate
statute Is violated. It is tho opinion Of
the committee that by making the ship
per equally guilty with the carrier where
the rebate has been paid the evil can be
more effectively checked The provision
adopted yesterday was taken from the
Mann bill.
