FROM WASHINGTON.
Senator Hale and Corporation Tax
Law-The Fight for Retention of
Pension AuenCfes.

EcnSlOu AScuchcs.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March % Especially
Senator Hale's mail these days contains
many letters from business men of Maine,
expressing appreciation Of his course re-
garding the publicity feature OF the
corporation tax law. 1t Was very effec-
tive effort on the senator's nart toward
removing the possibility that business
corporations would be harsssed by the
big trusts which are their rivals in
particular lines of industry.
After the corporation tax las was
passed, as a provision Of the tariff law, it
was discovered that clause requiring the
records OF each corporation to be made
public in Washington would enable the
trusts to get line upon the business Of
their rivals. The steel trust, for instance,
could ascertain accurately the amount of
business that independent concerns was
doing. But the same thing would be true
in large number Of industries. Further
more, it would give business rivals, which
were not in any trust, valuable intorma-
ton.
1t was regarded as impossible to repeal
the corporation tax, or even to repeal the
publicity feature thereof, because such an
attempt would throw the tariff law wide
open. President Taft looked into the case
carefully, and decided that the publicity
feature could be nullified for the present,
because there was no appropriation for
making the records public Congress
would refuse to make the necessary ap-
preparation OF $4,000. But that arrange
ment did not entirely relieve business
men from uneasiness. The question
would come up anew another year and
continue to be the subject Of agitation.
At that point Senator Hale suggested
the advisability Of putting qualification
upon the Legislative appropriation bill,
modifying the publicity feature by pro-
viding that its enforcement should rest
entirely with the President. Some people
thought that il Senator Hale got the pro-
vision upon his appropriation bill as q
rider he could not get it through the
Senate, at least without q great debate.
He not only got it through the committee,
but he got it through the Senate, and
there was no debate. The provision is
now in fair way to become law.
The senior Maine senator had had hun
dreds OF letters from business men in
Maine, imploring him to do something to
protect them from this publicity feature.
He proceeded with his customary prompt
ness and thoroughness and accomplished
what probably no other man in the Sem
ate could have done SO thoroughly and so
successfully.

suit in Boycott

OAKLAND, Feb. 2.-Cnless the pre-
yailing high prices of meat in Alameda
county are reduced the members of the
Allendale improvement club will favor
organizing a general boycott against
the butchers Not only did the sellers
of meat come in for severe censure at
the meeting of the club last night, but
the combination OF wholesalers in Oak
land who control the foodstuffs markets
was criticised.
That Liese avenue. which has been
closed at Glenn avenue for several
months by a fence erected by the Oak
land traction company where the street
crosses its property, would be opened
as soon as the railroad was granted q
franchise for a double track on the
street. was the report of the railway
committee.
The Citizens club Of Melrose at it's
meeting last evening appointed j. O..
Hunter. NJ. Kanter and George Jannsen
as a special committee to go before the
board of public works and request the
passage of resolution compelling the
property owners along East Fourteenth
street from Fruitvale avenue to Semi
nary avenue to lay cement sidewalks.
That Highland, owing to its rapid
growth as q residence section. needed
additional school facilities, and that a
lot should be secured for a modern
grammar school structure was the
sense of a resolution passed last night
by the Highland Improvement club.

ELECTRIC CAR LINE
EXTENSION is BEGUN
Southern Pacific Takes Steps to
Connect Suburbs

OAKLAND, Feb. 2.-The first steps
toward the extension of the Seventh
street local service Of the Southern Pa
cific through the northeastern portion
of the annexed territory were taken
today; when contractors sbegan the re-
moval of 16 houses situated in the right
of way of the new line through Mel
rose As soon as these buildings are
taken away Contractor p. II. Hoare of
Hayward will begin grading for the
roadbed OF the extension.
The new line of the railroad, which il
is expected will be in operation some
time this summer, is to be part of the
great network of electrical railways
contemplated by the Southern Pacific
company in central California.
The new line from Melrose will pass
through the districts of upper Melrose,
Seminary park, Fitchburg and Elm
hurst, while a branch will extend
through San Leandro and probably
HAYWARD. Just what the plans of the
company are regarding the extension
of the line to Broadmoor are not
known, but IL is believed the Stone
hurst line, which is really part of the
main line, may be continued through
the hills back Of San Leandro into
Contra Costa county. or else be run to
San Jose through San Leandro, Hay
ward and Niles. A part of the San

SCHOOL KIDS SAY
ION WITH THE WAR"
Children Romp and Play While
Elders Engage in Row Over
jurisdiction

BERKELEY, Feb. "A merry tight
is on between County superintendent
of schools Frick and the Albany school
trustees as to whether number of
children should be educated in Berke-
ley or in Albany. Orders and counter
orders have kept the school children
on the road between the two cities
most of the time, but they are making
the most of their unexpected vacation.
Back of the trouble is the contro-
versy that arose between Mrs. S. Aga
tina Schlenker, president or the Albany
mothers club and a candidate for
school trustee, and the members of
the school board. Mrs. Schlenker and
other women wanted a woman as prin-
cipal of the Albany school, but the
board elected II. A. Stout.
The women retaliated by sending
their children to the Berkeley school.
superintendent F. +. Bunker Of Berke-
ley was then served with a notice by
the Albany board 10 send the children
back TO Albany, which he did
The clubwomen were wroth when
they heard about the order and took
UP the matter with County Superin-
tendeut Frick- They gained their
point and their children were allowed
to return to the Berkeley schools.
The Albany board stepped in last
night and disregarded the order OF
the county superintendent, a second
time asking Bunker to send the chill
dren away from the Berkeley schools.
More than q dozen children are affected
by the order and Bunker is undecided
what to do. He viii hold a conference
