PRESIDENT ASKED TO RECON-
MEND A REPEAL OF OBNOx
IOUS ACT, BUT HE INSISTS ON
ITS FAIR TRIAL.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Demands up
on President Taft to recommend the
repeal of the corporation tax law and
statements from treasury officials to
the effect that general compliance
with the law in the matter of returns
is doubtful. are the latest features in
the mess the administration finds it.
self in over the unpopular statute
The president is sticking out for "a
fair trial" Of the law, and the commits
siOner of internal revenue is busy at
the task of devising means to pre-
vent corporations from holding off and
taking chances on the law being de-
clared unconstitutional.
Gets Illinois Protest.
One of the requests for repeal was
presented to the president today by
Representative Sterling of the seventh
district of Illinois. 1t embodied the
sentiment of resolutions recently
adopted by business men of Bloom
ington and was in the form of a tele-
gram signed by thirty-siX corporations
in that city. To Mr.. Sterling the presi-
dent declared himself on the fair
trial. proposition, intimating that if
the trial reveals that the law will not
accomplish what is expected he then
will be willing to consider the ques-
tion of repeal. But right now he be-
lieves the law will accomplish the in
tended purpose-supply needed rev.
enue and establish facts as to the
business of big corporations
Protests against the law from all
sections of the country are piling up
in greater number than is revealed by
official statements, and meanwhile
there is no talk heard about any great
anxiety on the part OF congress TO ap-
propriate the money which is asserted
to be necessary to carry out the pub
icity feature of the act
Decide to Disobey Law.
Officials of the government hear
many rumors as to the attitude of the
corporations in making their returns
under the law. Their returns must be
in the hands of collectors of internal
revenue throughout the country by
March 1. Those failing to comply with
the law will be subject to heavy fines.
There are indications that many cor
porations will ignore the law and car
ry the question Of fines to the Unit
ed States courts, hanging up the final
payments of fines and taxes until the
courts pass upon the constitutionality
OF the law. BY doing this they VIII eS

Observation Of nature has often sug-

years ago James G. Blaine said to DR..
Hill that there was rapidly dimin-

papermaking. That set DR.. Hill think

Of paper manufacturer holding a
hornets nest in his hand. why can
not you make paper like this?' he
said. DR.. Hills trained eye had seen
that the hornet began making its nest
by chewing up particles Of wood into
fine pulp. That illustration led to the
use of wood pulp for making paper.

cape for the present the revealing of
their business.
1t is authoritatively known that
home of the biggest corporations in the
country have been bordering over the
ACCESSIBILITY of refusing to make re-
turns and fighting the question Of
fines. Here and there are corporations
which hold that any revealing of their
business would injure them to the ex-
tent of thousands of dollars, many
times more than the fines imposed.
Their only reluctance is in being held
up as violators of law.
Is Cheaper to Pay Fines.
Treasury officials have told the pres
ident that there may not be anything
like general compliance with the law in
the matter of returns. the information
being that the corporations are hope
full of having the law declared uncon-
stitutional. Commissioner Cabell of
the internal revenue bureal has sent in
'structions to internal revenue collect
ors to notify the corporations Of the
penalty they will incur by failing to
make returns upon the blanks furnish
ed them for that purpose.
