The Corporation Tax - Congress
Should Relieve the situation.

3. SnouIu NelleNe we SItuattOn.
Under instructions from Washington
the Collectors Of Internal Revenue are
notifying corporations, joint stock COM
panies, associations and insurance COM
panies of all sizes, and shapes that the
returns required by the hastily enacted
law of last August must be filed on or
before March I. and that the penaties
provided by the act will be rigidly en-
forced in case of intentional omission
or neglect. March is only two weeks
from to-day.
There are some corporations, We un-
derstsnd which have been asking for
an extension Of time on the ground of
physical inability to complete the neces-
sary work of computation before the
date specified. There are many thou
sands of other concerns, ranging from
great corporations to Joint stock COM
panies running country shops, which are
hesitating as to their course and pro-
testing against the requirement which
win make a public record of the returns
and thus put the circumstances Of their
business at the disposition of their
business rivals Semi-official promises
from Washington TO prevent this stu
pendous injustice by the exercise Of
discretion in guarding the returns have
mot served to reassure the minds Of
those who will be injured by disclosure.
f1he law provides for no such discretion
pn the part OF any executive officer.
che returns when fled shall constitute"

They shall be"-not may be--open to
Inspection as such"
y Meanwhile there are demands from
ell over the country that Congress shall
repeal this law, the amazing inequity
and probable unconstitutionality of
which were exhibited with sufficient
Nclearness by The Sun and other news
papers when the bogus special excise"
tar was first proposed. People are
awake now everywhere to the character
Of the contemplated outrage. Numerous
suits have been begun in the Federal
courts for the defence of the legitimate
privacy of business Not less than
ten cases to test the constitutionality
OF the corporation income tax are actu-
ally before the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and seven of these, in
cluding the strikingly typical Vermont
case Of STELLA P. FLINT against the
Stone Tracy Company. are assigned for
argument in the highest tribunal on
March "A, less than fortnight after the
last day for fling returns.
In view OF the chronology thus indi-
catel, the grave nature of the ques-
tions to be determined in March by
the Supreme Court, the weight of legal
opinion that has developed against the
law and the irreparable wrong that will
nave OccH uOilc IL liic EctuTHS dT6 ma0e
ard the law set aside, it is manifestly
the duty of Congress to pass without
delay an amendment extending the time
for filing for at least sixty days. That
will give an opportunity for a decision
Of the pending cases. Il will involve no
legislative reconsideration OF the act
Of last August. 1t will do no injury to
the United States Treasury. 1t will
\stmply give the Supreme Court chance
TO say, before the damage is done to
individuals, whether the law is to stand
or fall; and this under the circumstan noes
is just and right.

MAL|C|OUSNESS;
Says G0MPERS.
Labor Leader Not Concern
ed Over Recent Aetack
on Him.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 15.-Sam.
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, is not at
all perturbed over the attack made
on him in the latest issue of Ameri-
can Industries, i'm which such terms
as "maurauding lawbreaker," "arch
conspirator," and "despicable liar are
applied to the labor leader.
When shown a copy OF the magazine
which has devoted several thousand
words of criticism against Mr.. Comp
ers and the Bucks Stove and Range
company management for reaching an
agreement on the CLOSED shop" prop
osltion, Mr.. Gompers characterized
the attack rs "villafnous and MATE
ious venom"
Such attacks are hardly to be no
ticed," said Mr. Gompers. "They are
nothing but unmerited abuse from
ignorant persons. and are not going
to ruffle our tempers or in any way
interfere with our work, of getting a
square deal for laboring men, and
arranging for moreycordial and closer
relations between capital and labor.
"It is obvious why such men as
John j. Kirby and c. w. Post would
want to make their venomous attacks
on myself and the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, but why they should
oyerstep absolutely all bounds and
insult Frederick w. Gardner, the new
manager for the Bucks Stove and
Range company. do not see. All that
Mr.. Gardner is guilty OF is being
humane to his employees and coming
to an agreement with the American
Federation Of Labor. whereby condi-
tions are better for all concerned.
Surely that is little foundation for the
insult upon Gardner and his company
in the American Industries
Mr. Gompers refused 10 say whether
he contemplated taking action against
the editors and owners Of the "Ameri.
can Industries" for their attack.
