Tax on Doing OF Business.

The principle on which tho law rests and
anich was sustained completely was set
forth clearly by Justice Day at the outset
. If the opinion which he delivered for the
court
ut is q tax upon tho doing Of business" "
he said, with the advantages which inhere
in the reculisrities Of corporate or joint
stock organization. 1t may he described
generally ss tax upon the doing Of bust
ness IN q corporate capacity
He then look up the objections advanced
ny counsel in opposition 10 tho Law. In
reply 10 the contention that the tax was
erect and unconstitutional on the same
grounds that the income tax law Of 1875
was held unconstitutional. he pointed out
that il Was not tax upon ownership. but
upon the doing OF business under certain
advantages derived from the corporate
character
In reply TO tho contention that it inter
fered with corporate franchises created by
state laws and so infringed upon the rights
of tho states. hc said that 1t could not he
assumed that such authority 10 impair and
limit tho exercise Of authority essential TO
national existence rested within the states
In response Ia the objection that the tax
unequal and arbitrary he said that
IN this rosroct. tho law did not ovorster
constitutional limits. and pointed out that
sovantsces arc possessed ny corporations
N doing business which do not exist when
the same business is conducted by. private
individuals or partnerships
Tho publicity feature which was also the
chiect of attack. was upheld by tho court

ton Of the law

Justice Days Opinion.

Justice Day. who announced the decision,
was appointed 10 the Supreme Court bench
from Ohio in 1fh5 IIo treated the subject
eshorately IN the opinion containing ap-
rroximatcly ten thousand words. About
half an hour was spent by the Justice I'm
explaining tho position Of the court orally

60 a basis for the remarks.
The justice first determined that tho tax
~as Just vhat il claimed TO be in the act
rcrate business. and not direct tax on
the ownership Of property. With that point
decided. tho justice took up at more or less
length the various objections urged against
tho tau AZ an excise tax. and disposed OF
them 70 the satisfaction Of tho court
Finally he interpreted the law so as Ia
srply 10 real estate companies and the So
called public service corporations. but not

AN AWFUL JOKE.

President Delano of the Wabash railroad
system, has won the latest honors in the joke
field and before many days will be a con
tributor to Puck or some of the other funny
papers
few days ago at banquet he ADVOCATED
the regulation of newspapers by the interstate
commerce commission He said The railroads
have gone through relation and have laid down
a system of procedure, and honest roads are
profting by it, but why stop at railroads?
Why not apply the same rule to bankers inter
state shippers and merchants, and, indeed, why
not give the newspapers taste of it think it
would do them good
Without doubt the above is one of the most
comical things that has appeared in print for
many years and in humor places the greatest
works of Mark Twain and Bill Nyc away in
the shade.
The very thought of the thing is enough
to put one into spasms of laughter. Why it is
the newspapers that made the interstate com
mercc commission and it was the newspapers
that made the railroads come to time. The
newspapers. as everyone knows, are the great
regulators and need no regulating. The news
papers make the bad corporations come to time
and be somewhat square with the people. This
is where the joke comes IN.
Really wouldn't it be funny for the inter
state commission to summon the newspapers be-
fore them for regulation. The newspaper men
would march up the center and salute and the
commissioners would faint. The politicians
would be marching up to the front and bowling
low with explanations and each and every one
would be crying Glands off the papers,
The politicians perfectly willing to lose
their railroad passes if it can't be helped, but
it would be cutting their Threats to regulate
the newspaper and have them under the hands
of the commission.
Ha! Ia Ha The very idea of putting the
muzzng power of the press in the hands OF
the interstate commission and making OF them
kings 1t would mean kingdom in this coun
try as you understand, if the free American
press were mlzzled.
1t was only a joke and really such funny
Joke that it makes one sad

A CITY WITHOUT ADVERTISING.

The twenty-four hour strike in Chicago last
March, when the printers walked out of the
American and Examiner offices, and all other
morning and evening papers reduced to four
pages gave everybody chance to see a city
without advertising.
''On regular business days" says the Mail
Order journal, 'when the Chicago papers come
out with their usual amount of advertising, the
street ears are always crowded the business
parts of the city are filled with people, and
the stores with shoppers On the day when the
papers carried no advertisements, Chicago had
holiday appearance.
The downtown business streets looked al
most abandoned; there were no straphangers in
the street cars during the hours from 10 a. m.
to p M and the great department stores
usually visited by thousands and thousands OF
people, were quiet and doing almost nothing
What the newspapers lost by not carrying the
usual amount of weekday advertising was an
insignificant percentage of what the big and
small stores and the transportation lines lost
in trade on that day 1t was day that made
not only the business community, but also the
entire city of Chicago realize what advertising
means to modern life and how little can be done
nowadays without Advertising
