Final argument will he begun this

proposed increases in freight rates by

Popular Election of Senator's

Senator Borah. of Idaho. who is very
much in earnest in pressing for the con-
sideraton of tn" Senate the proposed
constitutional amendment providing Cor
the election of Senators by popular vote
Will probably renew his request this week
to fix a date by unanimous consent on
which vote may be taken With few
exceptions, the Democratic Senators favor
the amendment, and all of the insurgents
among the Republicans viii vote for it.
The principal issue presented in the de-
hate on the measure will be upon Senator
SutherlandS S proposed amendment. reServ-
ing to Congress the right to fix the quail
ficationS of voters for Senator. This
amendment is frauGht with danger to
the resolution itself. because it raises the
question of alleged disfranchisement IN

Senators who favor the election of Sena-

COURT WILL TEST
TAX AMENDMENT
Arguments to Be Submitted
Here This Week.
REARGUMENT OF THE CASE
Former Senator Foraker as Counsel
for Louis w. Jared Contends Law
Violates Provision of Federal Con-
stitution and Implies Power to
Prohibit and Destroy.

There will be submitted to the United
States Supreme Court this week arEu-
ments upon the issue as to the constitu-
tionality of the corporation tax amend
ment to the Payne-Aldr1ch tariff law. The
case is being reargued. 1t was heard for
the first time at the October term. 190s
Fourteen separate cases were presented
al the last argument, involving different
phases of the application of the law.
All Of them came to the Supreme Court
on appeal from lower courts, arising
upon tho judgments of those lower courts
sustaining demuTcrs TO bills in equity
asking for injunctions to prevent the pay
ment of the tax on compliance with the
law. They were brought by shareholders
To enjoin the officers of the respective
companies from making reports required
ny the law and from paying the taxes.
In all of these cases the lower courts
sustained dcmurrers to the bills for want
of equity.
One of FIRST Cases.
One o. the first cases brought to test
the constitutionality of the law was that
of Stella T. Flint. guardian of the prop
erty Of minor. who sought to onjoin
the StnncTracy Company. a Vermont
corporation. and its officers from comply
Ing with the law.
Another case, in which ex-senator
Joseph B. Foraker appears as counsel.
arose in the Northern district of Ohio.
II was brought by Louis w. Jared against
the American MUltigraph Company to en-
Join compliance with the requirements of
the law
Senator Forakers brief makes the con-
tent1on that the law IS unconS titutional
because it violates the following express
provisions of the Federal Constitution:
That direct taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States. that excises
shall be uniformHihroughout the United
States: that no dioNct tax shall be laid I'm
less IN proportion tn a census or enIIner-
alton: that the people are secure under
the Guarante" of the fourth amendment
of the Constitution. in their persons.
houses. papers. and effect. against unrca-
sonabie searcheEand seizures.
Implies Destroying Power.
He points out that the power to tax i'm
plies the power to prohibit and thereby
destroy. and that by the enactment the
Federal government could. if the power
TO tax these public service corporations
were conceded. destroy these State in
StrumentalitieS.
The arguments in the case will follow
the STANDARD Oil arguments. and probably
will begin Wednesday or Thursday.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c FREEMAN

Several stories in this column
have urged ADVERTISING
PUBLICITY FOR LEGITI-
NATE, FINANCIAL HOUSES.
The following article. which
appeared in several of the daily
newspapers last month, is so per-
tinent to the subject that it is re-
produced here:
Attorney General WickerSfapn,
in discussing his crusade against
bucket shops, ADVOCATED
PUBLICITY FOR LEGITI-
NATE CORPORATIONS as
an assurance of prosperity. and
expressed himself as in favor of
a properly framed Federal incor-
poration law.
Publicity for the legitimate
corporation spells prosperity. in
my opinion said the Attorney
General.
BY publicity | mean that busi-
ness corporations should not con-
ceal the records of their transac-
tions, but should MAKETHEM
PUBLIC and should at all times
deal fairly and frankly with their
stockholders and the public in
general.
This, in my estimation. is the
best means of ENCOURAGING
CONFIDENCE among those
who have money to invest, and
among those who are already
stockholders.
But, above all, this publicity
and fair dealing would almost en-
trely do away with the many
wildcat financial schemes which
have thrived in the past, and
which the government is endeav-
oring to suppress by depriving
them of the use of the mails, and
in other WAYS.
Within the last few years the
American public has lost many
millions of.doilars through swim

Officer Retires from Office.

Madrid. Jan. 15.-Dop Diego Aris de Mi
randa. minister of marine, has resigned.
as was intimated in these dispatches a
few days ago he would do. His retire

given a very severe letter which was
written against him by the admiral COM
manding the squadron which accompanied
King Alfonso on his visit to Melilla.
The minister made no attempt to dis
cipline the writer of the letter. but visited
ex-Premier Moret, who is a friend of
Premier Canalejas. and asked him to
designate SOME friend to succeed him as
minister of marine. Senor Moret did not
name any one. 1t IS believed that Senior
