THE CORPORATION TAX AS.
SAILED.

On March II argument will begin
before the supreme court to test the
constitutionality of the corporation
tax. The tax was recently upheld IN
the United States circuit court at
Toledo. but appeal was made to the
higher tribunal. and the case has
been advanced on the docket. There
are many suits against this law, and
all of them are to be tried together.
In the meantime the preparatory
work by the government to collect
the tax will continue, but the actual
selection will be postponed to await
the action of the court.
But let nobody suppose that if the
court nullifies this tax the govern
ment will be short of funds for the
fiscal year which begins on July 1.
The corporation tax is part of the
Payne tariff law. but that act. in con-
junction with the regular internal
imposts, is expected to furnish enough
money to abolish the deficit in the
coming year. In accordance with the
economy programme put forward by
the president and the republican
leaders in congress. appropriations
are being reduced. The outlay by
the government in the twelve months
which will begin in July will be d.
minished, and as revenue will be
larger than it is now, the gap be-
tween income and outgo will un.
doubtedly be abridged.
Probably the attacks on the corpo.
ration tax are something of an en-
barrassment to the president. The
party leaders in house and senate
were against it at the outset. 1t was
at the presidents recommendation
that it was made part of the Payne
bill. The expectation was that this
tax would yield about $25,00O.OO0 in
the present year. and would furnish
greater revenue subsequently, But
even if the tax be declared to be un-
constitutional the government will
probably be able to pay its own way
next year. July is always a month
of heavy disbursements by the treas
ury, and that month this year is not
likely to be an exception to this rule.
Nevertheless. there is fair proba-
bility that before the congressional
campaign is fairly under way month
ly SURPRISES will begin to take the
place of deficits. and one weapon
which the democrats have been
welding recently will be lost to them

ROOSEVELT TO SEARCH

ped out for Theodore Roosevelt. The
people behind Roosevelt expedition
will have rival organization to deal
with in the near future and it goes
without saying that the newer ag'
gregation will embrace some men,
bers who have no scientific interest
in the mailing of the American flag
to the south pole.
Roosevelt for leader of the pros
pective Antarctic expedition is the in
direct suggestion of Commander
Peary. whose motive, it may be stat
ed. is scientific and not political
Commander Peary, who according to
al! indications, soon will become a
rear admiral and be placed on the
retired list through a special act OF
congress, was quoted in an interview
yesterday on the south pole quest as
mentioning the name of Roosevelt
Antarctic situation and one whose
sympathies are entirely in favor Of
any movement of exploration in that
direction.
When asked specifically whethel
he meant to say Roosevelt would bt

the expedition. Mr.. Peary is report

Il also stated" continued Com

As matters now stand, provision

equipment and starting of the Am.

long after Roosevelt returns to his

be trifle premature to say that the

true BILLS FOUND
AGAINST ALDERMEN

Chicago Feb. 5.-Four true bills,
charging 'city hall officialss with a
conspiracy in connection with the
"shale rock sewer frauds, were re-

The men indicted are John Ericsson,
city engineer; Michael H. McGovern,
contractor; Paul Redieske, former dep
uty commission of public works, and
Rath A. oBnnell. former assistant
city engineer.
All four. with the exception of Eric
son, were indicted short time ago

ditions that have prevailed under re-
publican policies. make flax high
priced crop. The following from
the Pembina Pioneer Express is In
point:
The present high price of flax,
over 50 a bushel will undoubtedly
mean an increased acreage Of that
crop another season. This is gener-
ally the result Of high price for
any one crop and usually defeats its
object. by increasing the yield so as
to more than supply the demand.
While in our opinion things look like
good price for all crops another
year, including flax, yet it must be
rem embered that flax differs from
any other crop which is raised by the
farmer. in that it is peculiarly a
"prosperity" crop. The consumption
of cereals is and must be about the
same one year with the other, be-
cause people and animals must eat,
and eat about so much to live. Flax
however. is not edible. Its use is al
most solely in the mechanical trades
and factories. If the times are good
new houses. bridges, steel and other
materials need painting and temper
ing. with linseed oil as the principal
ingredient. If times are bad, build.
ing stops. the factories shut down
and there is no sale -or flax seed.

rock" scandal was in regard to the
construction Of Section d." of the
same sewer. The city paid the Nc
Govern company more than SIS 900 for
the removal of large quantity of
so-called "shale rock"
Upon examination by experts it was
stated that the rock" was nothing
more than hard clay and offered little
obstruction in excavating. Mr.. Nc
Cavern was the contractor in charge
of the construction, and was the man
paid for the removal of the "shale
rock" ,Bonnell certified that it was
rock. Ericsson approved Bonnelps de-

paid the money to 'McGovern.
The second indictments were re-

and others who were indicted last
week on charges of attempts to de-
fraud the city out of $3.50 900 for work
in another part of the Lawrence ave-

DISASTER AT FORT MONROE,

DISASTER AT FORT MONROE.
The most notable American disaster of
the past week occurred at Fort Monroe on
Thursday. when II men were killed by the
explosion of a Pinch gun and several
others were injured. 1t was the worst
disaster the army has ever had in time of
peace. The men, all members of the coast
artillery, were trying to beat the firing
record. The disaster was due to the failure
of the safety mechanism on the breech of
the gun to work properly. 1t seems that
the breech block had not been pushed
home preparatory to rotating and locking
il, when the gun started to rise to firing
position. The lanyard was not hooked.
and the man detailed to hook it was try
ing to do so while the gun was in motion
and succeeded just as the gun was passing
out of reach. 1t is supposed that in doing
this he gave an exceptionally hard pull
the safety device designated to prevent
discharge before the breech was fully closed
failed to work, and the load in the gun was
fred backward, carrying the breech-bloci
and the shot truck with il and moving
down the men.
Notable heroism was displayed by the
wounded officers and men in preventing {
