MAY EXTEND DATE FOR
CORPORATION TAX LAW
Failure to Obtain u. S. Supreme Court
Decision Before March
Will Require Delay

WASHINGTON Jan. 24.-In the
event of the failure of the attempt to
obtain decision from the supreme
court of the United States as to the
constitutionality of the corporation
tax provisions of the Payne tariff act
before March l, the date by which the
return of income of corporations must
be filed, congress may be asked to
extend the date for the law becoming
operative.
The suit in which the point arises,
that of Stella P. Flint, as general
guardian of the property of Samuel N.
stone, jr., minor, Against the Stone
Tracy company of Windsor, VT, was
decided in the lower court last Thurs
day. Much time probably will be re-
quired by attorneys to prepare their
briefs and arguments, and if the SUI
preme court takes it's usual recess of
three weeks in February a decision
before March 1 is regarded as improb-
able.
Solicitor General Bowers today asked
the supreme court for permission for
the government to submit oral argu-
ments and briefs.

Or. D. X. Pearsons Is to Distribute All

Country
Associated Press1

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-After having
given more than four million dollars
to struggling colleges in many parts
of the country, DR.. d. K. Pearsons,
almost 80 years old, announced to-
night that he intends to give away
every cent he possesses before he
dies.
DR.. Pearsons is reputed to be worth
many millions.
II am having more fun than any
other millionaire alive" he said Let
other rich men go in for automobiles
and steam yachts. [ have discovered,
after endowing AZ colleges in "a states,
that giving is the most exquisite Of all
mundane delights. On my Goth birth
day on April IA next, [ am going to
have asquaring up with all the small
colleges to which 1 have promised
money, and serve notice now that
beginning then l am going on new
rampage of giving. l intend to die
penniless. l am going to live ten
years longer and in that time / eX-
pect to do nothing but give away
money.
Helped Twelve Colleges
1T have given money to twelve col
leges in the south. / don't think any
of my other gifts have given me quite
the same satisfaction that these have.
It's fine to sit here and think that the
south knows it is being made better
south by a blamed old abolitiOnist like
me- 1t sweetens 'em, tell you. 1t
makes 'em feel better. Berea college
in Kentucky is my pet. have watched
it grow with the utmost interest. 1t
is doing great good among those Ken
lucky mountain boys. This nation
needs those Kentucky mOuntaineers. 1t
was they who fought the battle of
Kings mountain and helped Jackson
whip the British at New orleans.
Guilford Another Pet
another pet of mine is Guilford coll
lege, in North Carolina. There's where
Speaker Cannon was educated. It's a
Quaker institution, and l like it, l
gave $4,000 to the Montpelier seminary
in Vermont a little while ago because
that's where 1 went to school seventy
five years ago, and because its presi-
dent came to me and said they were
nearly broke.
81 think lots of the little colleges in
the west, and 1 shay keep my eye that
way also Not long ago the president
of whitman college. in Washington,
told me he was much in need of $12, 500
/ don't think / ever felt better in my
life than when l wrote him out that
check.
II don't say these things in a boast
full spirit, but merely to suggest to
some other millionaire an easy way to
having a good-time'
