THE METHODIST REVIVAL

Last night and this morning were
both occasions OF much interest in the
Methodist revival so successfully car
ried on by the pastor, Rev. Glenn
Finn, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. A. c.
Fisher, of Fort Worth. The crowds
we're large and there were several
professions at both services and two
accessions to the church this morn
ing. The choir last night was the
largest and best that has sung at any
time during the meeting, and Mr..
Fishers solo, Some Other Day." pro.
duced a profound impression. 1t was
one of the best he has yet sung. To
miss his solos and duets with his wife
is to miss a great uplift.
Rev. Films sermon last night on
ITO He'll by the Road of Excuse" was
a strong attack against the ordinary
excuses offered for not becoming a
Christian and his appeal at the close
was one of great earnestness and
power.
This afternoon at o'clock special
service for children was held, and TO-
night Rev. Finn. Kill preach on God
Cure for Blindness" The service be-
gins at 7:45 o'clock.

feline, excruciate, coalesce, avalanche,
minimum, secular, incursion, CONCEAL,
fusilade, pharisee, orthodox, oblique,
buccaneer, ascetic, tangible Now, can
you spell all of them? Well, Miss Ada
Board had a number of pupils who.
could spell every word of it.
But let's look at the afternoon list
in that grade. Here it is: Obnoxious,
citation, facetious, reprieve, octagon,
I dynasty, aquarium, mendicant, mortal
| ity, insulate, illuminate, guadiness,
supersede, quagmire, myriad, abey-
ance, calcium, dogmatic, germicide
formula. Every pupil in Miss Boards

REDUCES DUTY ON
AMERICAN FLOUR
Reduction of Duties Affecting
Milling Interests Is An
nOunced.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Of great i'm
portance to American milling interests is
the concession of 80 per cent reduction
In duty on American flour imported into
Brazil. This fact is just reported to
the state department by cable by EN-
bassador Dudley at Rio de Janelro.
The reduction is confined to American
flour and Is not accorded to that from
other countries. Mr.. Dudley believes that
the effect Will be to extend the market
for American flour south OF Pernambuco.
where 1t does not now go even with the
preferential reduction Of 30 per cent, be-
cause of the superior geographical posi-
tion OF the Argentine milers. Last year
America shipped to Brazil flour valued
at $2,l05.000. supplying so per cent OF
the trade north of Pernambuco.
Brazil is also according a special re-
duction of 90 per cent in duties on sew
enteen other articles of American produc-
tion In consequence OF which American
exports to that country have more than
doubled since 1905. giving the United
States ISL per cent of the foreign trade
OF Brazil

The committee on judiciary Of the
mouse has declined to report upon an
equal rights bill which was recently
handed to the chairman OF the commit

committee decided to have nothing more
to do with IT. The bill was as follows:

CORPORATION TAX IS
. LEGAL, SAYS LEHMAN|V
Solicitor General Makes a
Lengthy Address in Reply to
Attacks on Federal Law.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S-For nearly
three hours today Solicitor General Leh-
mann OF the department of justice argued
before the supreme court of the United
States that the corporation tax provisions
OF the Payne -Aldrich tariff act were con-
stitutlonaI.
He told the court that the fifteen cases
before it had been brought by share
holders in corporations who objected To
the latter paying the tax.
Each OF the corporations had expressed
an intention TO obey the law
Every objection had been raised to the
tax, Mr.. Lehman said, that could be
raised TO any tax possible of being levied
under the constitution. Some of his op-
ponentS had gone so far TO claim it
was no tax at all, but mere coniscation
of property.
The only Limitation on the power OF
the federal government to tax, he said,
applied to exports.
Possibly there was an implied limit
against taxation of the agencies and IN
strumentalitics of state governments. he
added, AS TO the mode OF taxation, he
said, the only limitations were the ap-
portioning of direct taxes and the maxi
Ing of excise taxes uniform,
The corporation tax. according to the
solicitor general. violated none OF the linz
itatiops. EIe described the tax AS an ex-
else, but said the fact that 1t made en-
emptons did not prevent IT being uni
form. The government had a right to
look for more than the revenue to be OBJ
tained according to the solicitor general;
1t had the right TO consider the general
welfare Of the people in making classifica-
tions for taxation.
The fact that mutual life insurance
companies and similar organizations were
exempted. he argued was but a due re-
gard for the development of the country
and the same right had been exercised In
the construction of protective tariffs. He
said the tax not upon an instrument
tality Of state, a franchise to a cor
poration, but was upon the exercise OF
the right procured by the corporation.
Before Mr.. Lehman began to speak
Richard Reid Rogers of New York ad-
dressed the court. He represented a
shareholder in the lnterborough Rapid
Transit company of New York. He said
this company was organized to operate
n rapid transit railroad owned by the
city of New York. Therefore he con-
cluded the taxation OF This company was
taxation Of an agency OF the state.
