ROAD ASKS TO Be TAXED
CONEY ISLAND AND BROOKLYN
RAILWAYS NOVEL PLEA.
Wants Supreme Court to Uphold the
Constitutionality of Cor
poration Levy.

The novel spectacle of corporation
pleading with the Supreme Court of
the United States to be allowed to be
taxed was presented today when coun-
sci for the Coney Island and Brooklyn
Railroad Company asked the court to
uphold the constitutionaiity of the cor
poration tax. \ brief on behalf of the
company was filed by William y. Dyk-
man and Arthur f. Goddard. So tar,
this corporation is the only one of ,ne
fifteen organizations that has presented
brief in favor of the law, the rest
leaving the burden of supporting the
law on the government.
1t is claimed that a tax upon the
franchise or business OF state railroads
or public service corporations is not
an interference with governmental func-
tons or Observation-Disclosures of the states.
Income VS.. Franchise Tax.
We do not object says the brief. Ito
appellants strenuous argument that the
tax in question is in reality a franchise
tax. because as such il unquestionably
would be valid, and further. because all
arguments which show that it is a fran
chise tax also show that it is not an in
come tax. But if counsel abandon their
first argument, as they seem to Go in
their learned brief, and seek to prove
that this is an income tax, in spite of
the fact that it expressly purports to be
an excise tax upon business. they must
go further and show that it is an in
come tax similar i'll nature and results to
the tax held unconstitutional in the in
come tax cases, for, of course, it was
only that sort of an income tax which
was held TO be an income tax.
Whether or not the court would modify
the income tax decisions, the brief says
is an entirely unnecessary question in
this case. The logical consequences and
deductions to be had from those cases. it
is argued, are not opposed to the VALIDITY
of the corporation tax.

Mob's Strength Broken.

That fight virtually broke the mob S
strength. A few reached the city hall.
Probably there were 100 that braved the
police and marched around tie big gray
municipal building.
These daring ones made no outburst. no
matter what they thought. Once in a
while there was a boot and catcall, but
there was no other demonstration.
The march to the park in the morning
was orderly. Pratt Murphy and score
of their licutcnants, with j. Burwood
DAILY. attorney for the strikers in general,
led the vanguard Of the strikers to tile
gate
Police Lieut.. Tnestou and two poll, .emen
met Mr.. DAILY. Mr.. DAILY was assured that
il was useless for him To try 10 enter.
One of the policemen said ne hoped that
Mr. Daily would not try To test the order.
Mr.. DAILY didn't. He merely jotted down
the number on the policemens helmets
and reioined Pratt and the other leaders.

Actions Called Incendjery.

AT the time there were at least lo,rD

what might have happened if that crowd
had got to the city hall l believe that
there were hundreds of armed men in
that crowd ready to use their wea pons If
the crowd had been allowed TO remain to-
gether.
Certainly no newspaper will counte-
nance such 1ncendiary actions by its
representatives.

oners were the four newspaper men whom

who from an automobile shouted to the

RINGLING BROS.
CIRCUS COMING
Worlds Greatest Circus Soon to
Visit Wahpeton

With an entirely new outfit
and the hearty endorsement of
New York City to it's credit,
Ringing Brothers Wor d g
Greatest Shows will, on Satur.
day, July 2, give two perform
ances in Wahpeton.
Each season finds this circus
larger and better. The pro,
gress that will be noted this
year is exceptional. 1t mani
tests itself first in the new
pageant, built by foreign artists
and designers at the European
workshops of the show in
Stoke on Trent, Engl a n d .
When visitors approach the
show grounds the size of the
city of tents fills them with
amazement. I h e menagerie
has been increased and the
main exhibition tent is the
largest III the world. 1t is a
labyrinth of stages, rings and
gymastic and aerial equipment,
filling the arena from ground
to dome. There are 375 per-
formers. Over 800 of them are
Europeans. There are at least
fifty sensational acts on the
long program.
There is an introduc tory
spectacle, built on scale of
magniticence never attempted
in the past. In it 1900 people,
over half the elephants in
America and hund re ds of
horses are used. The magic
touch of the Ringing manage
ment is evident throughout
every department of the circus.
New York City unanimously,
through its newspapers, stamps
this show as the best ever seen
in Manhattan. The program is
delightfully."- fresh and new, and
varied enough to suit all tastes.
This is the twenty-seventh
year of the Ringling Brothers
as showmen. On April 3, 1888,
they gave their first perform
ance in the public park of the ir
native city, Baraboo, Wis. The
tent was homemade. The seat
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1910-06-16

planks were borrowed from a
neighboring lumber yard. The
bows made their own ring
properties and gave the per-
formance. They had but one
horse. They all doubled in
brass. 1t would be impossible
to begin in a smaller way.
They had the right stuff in
them and they did not know
there was such a word i'm the
dictionary as "fail."
During their first summer
they did not go many miles
from Baraboo. They had to
travel entirely by wagon, and
their ore horse was not equal
to the task of long tour. The
following season they had three
horses, and sometimes showed
as far away from their home
town as hunderd miles. To.
day their one horse is supplant-
ed by q train over one mile in
length. In a single season they
often go from Maine to Cali
fornia and from Canada to
Mexico. Their history between
that one horse and their $50
horses of today reads like tale
from the Ara bian Nights.
There are five brothers in the
firm. AL. Ringing is the eque-
strian director. No circus direc-
tor. No circus director or stage
manager in the world can equal
him in the art of spectacular
groupings or in giving style
and speed to performance.
Charles Ringing is at the head
of the pictorial advertising.
Three special cars, travelling
ahead of the show, do this work
Each car has force of twenty
five advertisers and billposters.
Otto Ringling is the financial
director. He is marvel of
system and knows how to
handle big things with nerve
and sure aim. John Ringing
is the router of the show. He
knows every city and town in
the country and is we'll posted
Oh agricultural and mercantile
conditions. Alfred T. Ringing
heads the bureau of publica.
tioE. Every editor and import
ant newspaper and magazine
man in h e United States
knows him.

chine, and argues that the suc-
cess of the stalwarts this year
means simply the re.instate-
ment of that machine into
power. He refers briefly to
some of the things this old ma
chine did, when it had all the
power-the Louisiana lottery
scheme, the Capital commits
sion. and the bitter fight. it
made upon the primary cleo
tion law, and to the rule of the
state by the railroads, through
the gang. That isn't pleasant
hearing for the Globe Gazette
but it is a true tale.
In all this, what of McCum.
Der? Only by inference and by
his own allegiance to the Payne.
Aldrich monstrosity and by his
own allegiance to the old gang,
10 he condemned. He is not at.
tackled personally. If he holds
that the present bill "is the
best possible" this condemns
not him alone, but ali who
think that way. If he believes
that Jim. Hill influences
through Alex. Mckenzie and
Jim. Kennedy are the best for
this state. he is condemned with
them. But there is no person
al attack upon him alone. He
is only one of many. If the cap
fits hin, close-his organ, the
Globe Gazette, should not cry
out end call attention to it.
1t is bigger question that
any personal one. Is a conflict
as to whether this country will
become a plutocracy, governed
by few billionaires or or.whether
it is to continue as designed by
it's founders--a government OF
the people with the political
power resting primarily with
the whole citizenship of the
country.
So it is not the old fight. 1,
is a new and a greater. It is
not a scramble for office on eth.
er side. AS it stands, McCum.
Der believes that the tariff is
right and the state gang is
right. Lauder does not. Lau
der has been able to present his
beliefs to the people of the
state. McCumber has not, ow
ing to i'll health. But when
Lauder does so-we can see no
reason why he should be told
that he is hurting himself.
And besides, Lauder is indif-
terent for own success at the
polls, provided he can make the
people see clearly just what is
in this question. 1t isn't a
question office. 1t is a question
of principle. The Broadaxe be
lieves that Lauder has done
the right thing, and is with him
heartily.-Lidgerwood Broad
