THE CORPORATION TAX.

The legal contest over the constitu-
tionaIity OF the corporation tax provis-
ions OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff act was
renewed yesterday in the Supreme
Court OF the United States, when Sena-
tor Joseph B. Foraker, OF Cincinnati.
flied a brief, attacking the law. He is
one OF the many attorneys retained in
the case when it was first PRESENTED to
the court in March, 1910. Senator
Foraker is expected TO make an oral
argument when the case comes before
the court for rehearing about January
16. The brief submitted yesterday by
Senator Foraker argues that the tax is
neither laid on the corporation itself
and its franchise, nor the business OF
the corporation, but on the entire net
income. The senator designates it as
a corporation income tax" and
holds that it is unconstitutional for the
same reasons that the income tax was
declared unconstitutional in 1895.

sions, has convinced foreign chancel-
tories that the anglo-Russian grab"
is imminent
The Morning News says: AT Tehe-
ran it is thought that the execution OF
the British ultimatum is inevitable.
English officers will be sent from the
Indian army to organize local gendar-
merle in Persia. II native recruits are

Rome and Modernism.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 2S.-In connec-
ton with the movement started at
Rome to check the growth OF modernism
and other tendencies which are deemed
subseryient to the Catholic religion, all
of the priests of the diocese OF Denver
assembled today and made profession
OF faith. Bishop n. G. Matt sounded
the call for them TO assemble under in
structions from Rome. The oath taken
includes submission 10 to all the con-
demnations, declaration and direction
contained in the encyclical letters pub
lished three pears ago. In part he
says:
Il reject the error of those who al
lege that the faith proposed by the
church may be in conflict with history
and that Catholic dogmas in the sense
in which they are now understood can
not be harmonized with the more
truthful origins OF Christianity"
AS part Of this same movement, in
every diocese being established council
consisting of approved members of the
clergy to take cognizance OF devices by
which new ones are introduced and pro
pagated. These are to be called "co,m-
ellis Of vigilance. The members are

Determined to better the record he

tic City, N. j., will leave Los Angeles
this morning for his home, walking by
a schedule which calls for over forty
miles a day. If successful in follow

will cover the 2465 miles in about So
days. following Weston's trail across
the continent.
Lange's record Of 100 days was made
on the western trip from Atlantic City

on September Il, 1909, and his eXpec-
tations Of lettering this record are
based on the better weather he Will
