Tn. Corporation Tax.
New York Tribune.l

Both in it's legal and its practical as
poets the decision OF the supreme
court UNFOLDING the validity Of the cor
pora-ion tax must give unbounded sat
isfa ction to to the Taft administration
The unanimous opinion OF the court
strikingly vindicates the judgment Of
the president and the attorney general.
who both held that the form Of taxa
ton adopted In the senate amendment
to the Payne tariff bin was legally I'M
assaila BILE. The administration VEN
tured a good deal on the soundness OF
its Interpretation OF the constitutional
limits on federal taxation. 1t recog-
nized the improperly OF consenting to
the re-enactment Of the income tax
provisions Of the Wilson Gorunan tariff
act and thus practically inviting the
supreme court to reconsider. the de-
cision Of 1895 declaring a general and
unapportioned income tax invalid. Mr..
Taft was assured that the senate, II left
to follow its own inclinattons, would
vote for an income tax pure and simple,
thus jeopardizing the revenue to be col
iected under it by challenging con-
stitutional doctrine laid down by the
supreme court. In that emergency the
president suggested the corporation tax

states OF an amendment TO the consti-
tuition permitting an income tax to be
levied without apportionment among
the states according to population. It
was evident that the treasury would
need more revenue than was likely to
be furnished by the Payne tariff 50 that
the administration staA1ed the prospect
Of a surplus on the validity OF the COR
poration tax 1t has therefore won an
important practical as well as academic
victory.
The chief objection found to the cor
poration tax section OF the Payne law
in its original form was that con-
tributing corporation was not sufdc1-
emily protected against revelation OF
its business secrets to rivals. The
Tribune pointed out that defect and
strongly advised its correction. Be-
fore the first collections were made
congress wisely limited access to re-
turns showing the earnings and income
Of corporations and 80 removed the
main cause OF complaint. The returns
are now treated as confidential, and
no outsider can inspect them without
the permission OF the president. AS
modified by the legislation of June II,
1910. the law had virtually ceased to
be the subject Of hostile criticism. The
contention that 1t really taxed income
under the guise Of collecting excise has
now been pronounced unfounded by the
supreme court.
In the fiscal year 1909-10 the corpora
ton tax produced $20,95s,7s3. Since
June 80, 1910, overdue taxes have been
paid into the treasury amounting 70
$s,66s.0O0. The annual receipts are
therefore about $27,5O0.000. q sum
which exceeded last years surplus by
nearly }12.0O0.0O0 and will probably
! abcu. aa;iai this years surplus. Tc the
corporation tax, therefore, the treasury
owes its present ability to make ends
meet

THE BULK SALES BILL.


The bulk sales BILL" which has been
defeated at session after session OF the
Iowa assembly. is at last on It's way to
the statute books. When the measure
first came to a vote in the house sew
eral weeks ago It lacked a few votes of
a constitutional majority. Encouraged
by the close vote its friends gave no.
tice Of intention to move reconsidera-
ton. The motion was made and car
ried on Wednesday. After q short de-
hate the measure was asai. S:* 70 6
vote and was adopted, SO to "a. The
reversal was due to quiet educational
work directed toward members who
had first voted against the bill without
thoroughly understanding its scope.
There is little question the bill will re-
cefve favorable consideration in the
senate and will become law July I
next.
When the bulk sales law becomes eff
fective no merchant will be allowed to
give bill Of sale for his stock without
first notifying creditors from whom the
goods were purchased and giving them
a chance to secure their accounts.
Practically the effect il to give the
wholesaler a lien upon goods sold TO
retailers on credit. While this was not

limit, he could sell the whole stock thus

servative, and is chiefly in evidence in
iron and steel. in which there is a
larger demand for structural materials:
more cheerful sentiment as regards
p.s iron and better mill conditions III
hni4hed materials. The volume of
transactions as measured by the usual
statistical tests is somewhat under that
OF last year, but it is generally larger
than In the preceding quarter. while
Business sentiment is helped by the
hopeful outlook for the crops which, in
spite Of the complaints, common at this
season, promise another year of sus-
faining and profitable production.
Among the distinguishing features OF
the business situation are the growing
tho enormous accumulation Of Ameri-
eau credits in Europe, estimated as
high - 5000. 600. 900 and due to Amer

THE STRANGE M1xUP.

lDes MOtneS CapitalJ.
It is a strange nixup we are now
having in Iowa republican politics. The
Cummins machine seems to be going
to pieces and a new machine IL beins
oiled up to take its place.
The new Machine Is the Kenyon 1911
Model
Part Of the works seems to be from
the Cummins' 1910 Model and some OF
the parts are rot yet defined
Just how the new machine will work
remains to be seen -
At the present time It y promising
All new machines are promising
There are some ainukfng phases The
Cummins machine thinks II =, stu In
| the game and the Kenyon machine
thinks the Cumnnins machine is out OF
It. Yet the Kenyon machine continues
to make love to the Cummins machine
The Kenyon machine il. made to swap
parts with any other machine ana the
parts are warranted to At without poll
fishing
1t is supposed that the Kenyon ma
chine is to be launched, and to be given
trial run. Half the corporation at
torneys of the state are buzzinf
around oiling the machine. Some OF
the corporation attorneys have been
out of the business of politics for a
long time. They think they see . ray
Of light. They are endeavoring to
come back.
The Cummins machine looks on and
wonders how such things can be and
overcome it like a summer cloud
One would scarcely believe that this
had recently been a great anti.monop-
oily state.
Governor Larrabee will have to write
another letter telling what great things
have happened. His letter will soon be
ancient history.
The Joke about 1t all is that the for
ty-six farmers who are members OF the
general assembly are either a part OF
the Kenyon machine or are uncon-
cerned.
| 1t is surprising that these political
conditions come around so soon.
Even Judge Prouty is saying nothing
and making no effort to rescue the
Cummins artimonopo1y machine
We salute the new corporation lead.
