CORPORATION TAX IS BIG
PROSPECTIVE REVENUE MAY
REACH FORTY MILLIONS. =
r
/; i
Secretary Maoveagh Estimated Orig.
inally Only $25, 900, 000-Corps
Begins Work Monday.

Latest estimates made by Treasury Of
ficia1s indicate that the, revenue this year
from the corporation tax will far exceed
the amount Secretary MacVeagh original
~ thought would be derived from that
source, some of them putting 1t as high
as $4O,O0O,OOO.
This estimate is based on the returns
that have come to the department UP to
this time. They indicate larger amount
of net income over the $1,000 exemption
than was at first thought would be the
case
Returns Haye been received from about
800. 900 corporations. When the delin-
quents are all in the confident expectation
is that the total number will approximate
325, 600
Provision has been made at the Treas
ury Department for the examination of
the returns preliminary to estimate Of the
assessments the corporations will be re-
quired to pay. These are to be completed
before June l, assessments being payable
on or before June 30.
To expedite the work Mr. Hilles. assist
ant secretary in charge of internal reve-
nue. matters. has gathered a force Of thir-
ty-six clerks from the different branches
of the department. Monday ,hey will be-
gin to examine the returns and to levy
the assessments.
This corps. in addition to the regular
force in the internal revenue bureau, it is
believed, will be adequate to complete the
work within the time for sending out the
assessment notices. After that Is over
they will return to their regular details.
Secretary MacVeagh's original estimate
in his annual report was that the income
from the corporation tax during this year
would aggregate $25.OOO.OOO.
The work of collecting data and reports
from corporations has been comparatively
easy. The machinery of the internal rev.
enue bureau In all parts of the country
handled the work with ease and without
friction.
Commissioner Cabell of the internal
revenue bureau believes the collection of
the tax will be easier than attends almost
any other tax imposed by the govern
ment.

REP. CORDELL HULL THINKS #
A PUBLIC DUTY.
Praises Men Who Lost Their Lives
in Havana Harbor-Speaks Be-
fore Civic Betterment League.

Il earnestly trust that, as a matter
of national pride and patriotism. IL for
no other reason, our government may
see At to discharge the neglected duty
Of raising the sunken battleship
Maine.
wv cove this duty to ourselves, we
owe it to patriotic pride, we owe it to
the memory OF the victims and their
families. we owe it as worthy act
of appreciation of our soldiers sarv-
ice to encourage those remaining in
the service, and upon whom we must
rely in the future
This was the peroration of an address
delivered before the Civic Betterment
League last night by Representative Cor
dell Hull Of the fourth district Of Ten
nessee. The sentiment expressed by the
Tennessee statesman was applauded.
Hull Lauda Maine Martyrs.
Speaking OF the recent Maine memorial,
Mr.. Hull said:
1T is highly fitting that our noble
women and chivalrous men should annu-
ally assemble at historic Arlington for
the purpose Of paying tender and loving
tribute to the memory of that gallan,
crew or the DdttieSn1p Mdln6, WEO lOSt
their lives while engaged In the service OF
their country.
1.-The story Of the wreck OF the Maine
is one of amazing treachery and sicken.
ing horror. On the hight of the 18th day
OF February. 1893, while that ill-fated
battleship was peacefully anchored in the
harbor OF Havana, and Its faithful and
patriotic crew sIumbered in fancied Sc
curity the unseen-and to this day un.
known-hands OF stealthy and cowardly
assassins inflicted such powerful injuries
upon this vessel as speedily sent 1t to
the bottom of the sea-carrying dowr
with 1t the noble band Of warriors with.
out warning to a watery grave.
"A great international crime had been
committed. The whole world was awe
stricken.
1.-The American people, oppressed with
sorrow and Indignation, instantly arose
as one man, and demanded that the un-
speakable outrage inflicted on their flag
and upon their brothers who were pro-
tecting it should be avenged. The unfor-
tunate and destructive war that followed
Is now. well known history.
True, our brave seAmen who now sleen
In beautiful Arlington did not die in bat
tie. But they were In the naval service
wearing warriors uniform, performing
warriors duty-and died warrior :
death.
They had, at the peril of their lives,
carried our flag into foreign waters on
q mission as high and a duty as STU
preme as any that could devolve upon
warriors in actual warfare-that Of guard
ing and protecting life and property in be-
half OF the great country whose flag
they bore. Their death was as honorable
and their glory as great as that of those
who have lost their lives at the lannon's
mouth. This gallant crew was martyred
in the cause OF liberty and humanity.

Changes Effected by War.

The moment their precious lives went
out a new republic was born-the star
of the republic of Cuba instantly flashed
above the horizon. While we mourn the
loss of our dead and revere their memory
we welcome this little republic into the
sisterhood Of free governments and bid
1t Godspeed in the march OF progress.
1.-THE Spanish-American war brought
many changes far-reaching in their ef-
fects. 1t revealed the United States as
sure-enough world power. 1t brought its
sections closer together 1t added to it's
strength and prestige the world over
But In the midst Of our onward march
and under the great new responsibilities
constantly arising we should neverthe-
less pause annually to suitably observe
the anniversary of that catastrophe,
which cost us many valuable lives, and
in so doing precipitated events that
shed new luster upon the American
name"
Resolutions were adonted by the league,
on motion OF William Kennedy, request
ing Congress to pass one of the pending
bills providing for raising the Maine and
bringing the wreck TO this country.

ARKANSAS INDUSTRIES.
St. Louis GIobe-Democrat Says State
 Should Advertise It's Attractions.

St. LoUis.-ln a recent editorial, the Globe-Democrat had 'he followins, to say regarding Arkansas:
 In the state election 10 be held in Arkansas in September of this year the following amendment to the con- stitution will be submitted; That all capital invested within the next 10 years in this state in the manu- featuring of cotton and fiber goods in any manner shall be and is hereby exempt from taxation for period of seven years next, after and from the time the person, persons, company or corporation have begun the business of said manufacturing The last leg islature gave careful attention to this subject and realized that the purpose covered by the amendment is neceS- sary if Arkansas is to keep pace in dustrially with Eeighboring states in which special efforts are made to pro mote the introduction and growth Gf manufacturing establishments. Ark ansas papers urge voters to approve this amendment, and rightly repre- sent that the result will be even more valuable to the revenue Of the state than to the cotton and other fiber factories that accept the inducements It is to the interest of the people of the entire state to give solid affirm ative vote to the proposition. which covers principle long recognized in many ether states.
 Arkansas has not been in it's pC- litical affairs as attentive to buSine IS interests as IS a matter of habit i'll the legislation of other states. The natural wealth of Arkansas is great and varied. It includes coal and other minerals, timber and widely dis tributed water power. If it's wet lands were reclaimed there would be lit tie immigration to Canada, and It's present area is full of good bargains. Canada's promotion of Immigration and new industries is carried on With surprising energy and with a success that is also surprising. The tide in that direction was not perceptible until the Canadians began their sys- tematic advertising and helpful plans fer newcomers engaged in agricul- ture, commerce. manufacturing and transportation by rail and waterways A boom has been worked Up across the border that is compelling consid- eration in the United States. As far as natural attractiveness goes, Ark ansas is so far ahead of Manitoba that they are not in the same class But the methods of promoting immi- grafton and industry are q different

Washington, D. C.-Leaders in congress confidently expect to wind up the business of the present ses- sion this week and adjourn not later than Saturday. If the session is car ried beyond that time it will be be- cause of amendments to the general deficiency bill or complications which may arise in connection with the om- nibus public buildings bill It is pointed out by Republican leaders that there has never been a congress whose president has obtained the amount of legislation that has re- suited from the demands of President Taft.

BEFORE AND AFTER THE TRIP

the parade through the city streets started. It was originally intended to conclude the reception with mon- ster parade, and invitations were is sued to various organizations through out the country. Within a few days, however, the committee was flooded with so many applications that the parade feature had to be in part aban- doned Organizations from Maine to California and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes requested places in the line of march, and if the project had been carried out, the procession would have extended from the Battery to the Harlem river and back again, a distance of 20 miles, and the people who had travelled hundreds of miles to see Roosevelt would have been de- prived of the pleasure. In order to overcome this obstacle so that no one would be offended, unique arrange ment was adopted by the committee
