DEATH OF ISAAC GoTTHELF

1t was with great shock of sor-
row and surprise that the people
of Saguache heard Of the death on
the morning of Friday, the 4th, of
Hon. Isaac Gotthelf, who passed
from earthly scenes to the Great
Beyond at the ranch residence of
his son, DR.. Isaac Gotthelf. His
illness, pneumonia, was brief, of
only three days duration and to
ma ny the news of his death follow
ed close upon the first knowledge
of his sickness.
Mr.. Gotthelf was for so many
years prominently identified with
the history and business interests
of Saguache and the San Luis val
ley, that brief resume of his life
cannot but be of interest to his
many friends and the pu bl c
generally.
He was born in Germany, March,
1874, and at his death was 66
years, Z months old. He came to
this country, the mecca of eager
and ambitious youth at the age of
90 Crescent.

The democratic congress recent

December 1911. The question of
who will be elected speaker has
already been raised. Champ CLARK.
who has been the minority leader
for some years, is the logical can
didate. But the standpat menu
bers of his party say he is too pro-
gressive.
just what the next year will
develop is very uncertain. The
indications are the progressives in
both old parties will act in unison.
The Democratic chairman de-
clared that frauds had been COM
mitted in Costilla, Huerfano, Rio
Grande, Las Animas and Ell Paso.
In all of these counties pluralities
were returned against Attorney
General Barnett and the intimation
was that contests would be brought
on his benalf. The Republicans
suspect, however, that the chief
object in selecting these counties
is to throw out the pluralities for
Judge Garrigues, who defeated
Judge Gunter for justice of the
supreme court. The races be-

TRAVEL ABROAD

Rev. O.S. Baum, of Denver, and

travel abroad. He spoke of the

England. What most attract the
travellers attention are the ancient
landmarks, such as architecture,
monuments to superstition, GUS

Mr.. Baum, in passing from one
picture to another, gave his hearers
a moment to view the one before
portraying another and thus the

woman who makes a home for a man

she is TO be emulated. Third, the

FORAKER ATTACKS

SAYS LAW is INDEFINITE IN
TERMS AND UNcoNsTf.
TUTioNAL.
MANY BRIEFS FILED IN OPPOSE.
TloN-~HEARINes SOON
TO BE HAD.

Washington, March 10.-The attack
on the constitution of the corporation
FAX doomed into prominence yester.
day when brief after brief in opposi-
ton to the law was filed in the SUI
preme court. Final argument of the
cases involving the question is set for
next week. Prominent among these
was the brief Of former Senator Jo-
seph b. Foraker, of Ohio, solicitor for
Louis W Jared, stakeholder in the
American Multigraph company of
Cleveland, who seeks TO have the
company enjoined from paying tax
on the ground that it is unconstitu-
tional. A brief also was filed for Os-
car Mitchell against the Clark Iron
company Of Minnesota; for Joseph E.
Gay against the Baltic Mining corz-
pany.
MIR, Foraker says that the indefin-
iteness of the language employed in
the corporation tax provision of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff law makes 1t dit.
iicult to ascertain just what the tax
is. The debate in the senate over the
provisions. he suggests, warrants the
assertion that the ambiguous eharac.
ter of the provision" is due to an eff
fort to bring it within the courts jur.
isdiction.
He says 1t is clear that the trainers
OF II intended to provide corporation
income tax without laying it on tAe
income.
IF the tax be on the corporation as
such" he adds. because OF the ad.
vantages supposed to attach to cor.
porate organizations for business pur.
poses, II should be the same for all
corporations of the same capital and
the same class, but 1t Is not the same
and cannot be the same for all unless
the impossible result of equal incomes
from all sources has been realized"
II II Is tax on the franchise of the
corporation, the senator contends, it
violated the implied provision of the
constitution that no state should tax
any fundamentally of federal gov.
eminent. nor should congress tax any
instrumentality Of state government.
