JOKER in The
new TAX LAW
Publicity Feature Of the
Corporation Bill a Dead
Letter
NO MONEY TO PROVIDE
FOR INDEXING RETURNS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, FEB. 17.-FollSs at the
capitol are wondering to-day whether the
newly discovered Joker in the corpora
ton tax section Of tho Aldrich-P Payne
law. "iust happened" or whether some
or slipped IL in when the President
wasn't looking.
As matters stand now tho publicity
feature of this measure is a dead letter.
Unless Congress shall make a special
appropriation OF $4,000, which the Treas
ury Department estimates as necessary
for the purpose, the returns Of more
than 100000 corporations of the country
which are subject 10 the tax. will re-
main in the archives # the department
as secret documents. Both the Presi-
dent and Acting Secretary Norton on
their correspondence on the subject pub
lished to-day make II clear that in their
Opinions the department has no funds
which it would be authorized TO expend
in indexing and arranging these docu-
ments for public inspection The Sloo'-
ON appropriated IN the urgent deficiency
bin was 9mited to expenses for the
collection" Of the tax.
Favored Publicity.
Tfas unexpected development IL
bound TO create commotion in Congress
One of the strongest arguments advano-
cd by the administration when the cor
Iporation tax amendment I, tho tariff
bill under consideration, was the pub
licity feature. Congress apparently &C
'cepted the Presidents view Of the de-
STABILITY for publicity OF the business of
1.-THE great corporations. Since the passage
of the law. however. the corporations
have been beseiging the administration
for some modification whereby publicity
might be limited TO an extent that
would prevent rival corporations from
learning each others business secrets
and pjrohting by them.
Leaders at Sea.
The Presidents discovery of the anti
publicity Joker was hailed with much
glee therefore. by the corporation rep
,resentatives who have been watching the
progress of events in Washington. They
are freely predicting to-day that Con
gress will not grant the $4,000 addition
al appropriation which the administra'
tion regards as necessary to carry ou
the publicity feature of the law
Leaders in Congress are somewhat a.
sea They were totally unprepared fol
ahe discovery made by the President
Undoubtedly an effort viii be made q
nroyIde the desired funds, hut the indi
cations are that Il will be fought vigor
ously by the special interests tha
would be most affected by the passag
of such an appropriation.
