The Pacific coast could contribute much TO-
ward making a steamship line to Panama pay
permanently IL the government would also
establish a station for bidding on supplies tor
the canal zone according to James s. Gold
smith. manager for Schwabacher's at Seattle.
''The government maintains an efficient serv-
ice between New York and the isthmus, SAID
he, 'by reason of which practically all the
supplies used in the construction OF the Pan
anna canal and for the sustenance OF the en-
ployes purchased on the Atlantic seaboards
to the exclusion Of the producers and mer-
chants on the Pacific coast. We should be
allowed to bid on supplies, because It would
be to the advantage OF the government IN
helping TO maintain a steamship line as wen
as to the advantage of producers and mer-
chants on the coast"
California and other coast states are now
exporting to Europe via the Tehauntepec line
much dried fruit and other products. Beside
these, dairy and poultry products, as wen
as other produce. could be shipped from TINS
coast as cheaply from the Atlantic.

CORPORATION TAX
LAW IS ATTACKED
ATTORNEY FOR STELLA FLINT
ASSERT 1T IS INVALID
Enforcement Would Deprive Plaintiff
of Corporate Property With
out Just Compensation,
Says Brief

WASHINGTON, March IL" For
taking away our charters was one Of
the grievances of the American colo
nies against the king of Great Britain.
At the time the declaration containing
these very words was written the peo-
pie of Vermont had already rendered
conspicuous service in the War of In
dependence. 1t would be an astonish-
ing result If, years after that inde-
pendence had been won, it should be
found that the government established
by the colonials themselves had be-
come an instrument for taking away
our charters
That is the climax in the brief of
Maxwell Everett and Henry 5. Ward
ner, counsel for Stella p. Flint of
Windsor, VT, filed today in the su-
preme court in opposition to the con-
stitutionality of the corporation tax.
Their main point is that the law, so
far as 1t affects the Stone-Tracy COM
pany, is unconstitutional because it in
vades the sovereignty of the state of
Vermont. It is also claimed that the
company would be deprived of its
property for public use without just
compensation, and that the tax is a
direct one on the franchise, and there
fore unconstitutional because not ap-
portioned.
Started Fight on Tax
Mr.. Everett started the litigation
over the constitutionality of the tax,
and he is relied upon largely to present
the views of the corporations TO the
court in the oral arguments of the 100
cases next week.
"The invasion of state sovereignty
through the corporation tax is actual
and real" says the brief. mo person
of the slightest business experience
can doubt that the imposition of the
tax and the forced publicity of cor
porate affairs, as distinguished from
the privacy of the affairs of partner
ships and individuals, and their exemp-
ton from a like tax, will drive to the
wall this defendant corporation, and
all similar small corporations which
compete with partnerships and in
dividuals.
States Power NulIified
'It may not seriously affect the
larger and stronger corporations. All
the reserve power of the state tc
create these small corporations would
| be rendered as useless as If it never
! had existed"
The court is told that to declare
the law unconstitutional involves nc
dimunition of the potential resources
| of the national government as was
urBeu Wouiu NC the Sa9S III 'iS iHN
| tax cases.
1.-The taxing power of the federal
government says the attorney, may
reach the business of the defendant
corporation for per cent, for 10 per
cent, for so per cent, if necessary, If
it will but seek out all who are en-
gagged in the same business and not
attempt to tax the corporate franchise.
1t is that attempt to tax a franchise
created by the state, and not the gen
eral power to tax, that makes this
argument"
The brief claims that the law was
konly specifically considered in con-
gress.

Progress stopped on the new Burlington

The cause OF the delay was a shortage Of

many Of those which come from the mind
by providing pleasant surroundings and
conveniences. The old school Of medical
practice, which only considered the cure,
with little regard for prevention, is being
displaced to a large extent by physicians
Of the new school, who do not consider
It so necessary TO prescribe drugs for GER
tain ailments, as to remedy their cause,
and prescribe a proper diet, fresh air and
pleasant surroundings. For this reason
the architect can be Of first assistance 10
the modern physicians. He has very little
to do with the family diet, except to plan
convenient kitchen, with all the modern
requirements, but the fresh air supply,
ventilation. sunshine and pleasant sur
roundings In a home are largely in his
power to provide. A practical home is,
therefore, a home which has been econom-
icaily constructed, conveniently planned,
provided with all the modern conveniences
and perfectly sanitary.
1t can be all this and, although plain, be
attractive. II need not necessarily be Of
classical proportion or be q monument Of
some distinct style of domestic architec-
ture, although II is very desirable to have
a home so designed provided that none
OF the practical requirements have to be
sacrificed in order TO make it come within

Practical Home Building

- tic A home can be ever 80

exterior, have many attractive features.
such as art glass windows. a beautiful fire
place built-in sideboard etc. and stin
lack that air Of quality which we call
homelike, or have rooms 50 arranged with
relation to each other as to make house
keeping very incOnvenient and therefore
the home impractical.
Every home should be unlotical in all its
details. Then. II the limiI Of the building
funds has not been reached, IL can be
made artistic. No home need be unat-
traetive but to be attractive It does not
necessarily follow that the home is artis-
tic. The attractiveness may come from
the quality OF materials, a symmetrical
proportion. The growing Of vines, shrub
berry flowers and trees about the home
will often make It look very attractive,
while the house itself. practical in ar
rangement might without these things to
enhance 1t, be very plain.
The practical home is economically con-
structed. In a two-story house. the story
heights should be such that eighteen-foot
studding can be used in the outside wallis,
and, as far as possible the bearing parti-
tons, which sustain the floor joist. should
be so located that floor jolsts in even
lengths of feet can be used without waste.
With many home builders these items
which would mean a saving in the cost
are frequently overlooked. In order to
get a story height few inches more than
the standard height, when using eighteen
foot studding, they find ii necessary to use
twenty-foot studding and have to cut off
the ends, which means a waste of ma
terial, as we'll as q waste OF labor. which
might have been saved by little fore
thought
1t Is always economical in the use OF
materials as well as good construction to
have the partitions and Orders in the
basement exactly under the bearing par
tltions Of the first story and, where posi-
BILE, the bearing partitions in the second
floor should line up with those OF the
lower story. There is nothing like having
good backbone to q house in the way Of
bearing partitions and have them line up
from the basement to second floor ceiling.
