SENATOR PAGE ON
A SEARCH FOR
INFORMATION
Wants to Know How Constltu-
ents Stand on Reciprocity
OPENLETTERTO NEWSPAPERS
Believes That Upper House viii Fa-
vor Measure When Extra
Session Is Called

Senator Carroll S. Page wants to
know how the people OF Vermont
want him to vote on the question OF
reciprocity with Canada and invites
anybody interested to send him
word He has addressed a letter to
several Vermont papers and the let
ter is given below. In it he sug-
gests that people write to the pap
ers but inasmuch as many people do
not like publicity it is evident that
it will be just as effective If they
write directly to Hon. Carroll s.
Page, Hyde Park, VT The Banner
will, however, be glad to print a few
on the question which is an impor-
tant one. Senator Pages letter is
as follows:
Editor of The Banner probab-
ly do not need to assure you that |
should like TO support President
Taft in his efforts to establish re-
ciprocity between the United States
and Canada, if in SO doing | should
be faithfully conserving the best in
terests of Vermont.
From the best information ! am
able to obtain, the newly elected
senators are nearly all in favor OF
reciprocity and | think the probable
tiles are that a majority of the Sen
ate which convenes on the 4th OF
next month will favor reciprocity.
The press of Vermont seem, very
largely, to be supporters of this
measure, and were | to be guided
by the opinions expressed by the
newspapers of Vermont, should of
course heartily second the Presi-
dents efforts upon this important
measure.
On the other hand, If | am to be
governed by the wishes of my Yer
mont constituents as expressed in
their numerous letters to me,
could not do otherwise than vote
against reciprocity.
You know, am sure, that ! am
exceedingly anxious to pursue that
course which will most nearly re-
fleet the wishes, and best promote
the welfare, of the people of Yer
mont, and whatever my final action
may be touching this matter, / am
sure that action will be predicated
upon a desire, as solicitous as the
most loyal son of Vermont could
wish, to faithfully serve the state
which has commissioned me, with
others, to act for it in matters com
ing before the National Congress.
/ would esteem 1t an especial IA
vor If you would promptly bring
this matter to the attention o. your
readers and. If you deem it wise to
do so, ask them to send you fos pub
LEGATION (or otherwise, as you deem
best) their views on Canadian re
ciprocity, to the end that when re
turn to Washington, | may be In
| formed as fully as possible as to the
views OF my state on this subject.
Personally, / shall be pleased to
receive communications from any
who feel sufficiently interested in
reciprocity to prompt them to write
me, and such communications, un
less otherwise requested, will be laid
before my colleagues in Washington
either before or at the time of my
return, April 4.
In writing you this letter ] an
speaking for myself only, and moi
for my colleagues, although pre-
sumo they feel as ] do about the
matter
Very cordially yours,
Carroll S. Page.

CORPORATIONS MUST PAY
Supreme Court Sustalns Tax Amend
ment of Tariff Bill.

Washington, March 1.-THE cor
poration tax provisions of the Payne
Aldrich tariff act were sustained
yesterday as constitutional by the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
The court was unanimous in the cor
poration tax decision.
Thereby source of income of ap-
proximately $25,000,OOO annually was
assured to the government. OF all
the objections to the tax raised by
suits in all parts of the country none
of them was found sufficient to null
lily the law.
The first action in the courts to
test the constitutionally of the law
was begun in the United States Cir
cult Court for the District of Yer
mont. A woman began 1t. Stella
P. Flint, guardian of the property of
Samuel N. Stone, Jr., a stakeholder
in The Stone Tracy Company of
Windsor began an action to have the
company restrained from paying the
tax. She claimed that the tax was
unconstitutional. Her attorney,
Maxwell Evarts, brought the case to
the Supreme Court, after the Circuit
court had declined to hold the tax
unconstitutional.
When the Stone Tracy case came
up for argument before the Supreme
Court in March, 1910, fourteen other
cases likewise raising the validity
of the law and decisions likewise sus
tanning the constitutionally OF the
tax, had reached the court. They
were advanced and heard with the
original case. Because presumably
of vacancies on the bench, the cases
were restored to the docket for rear
gument. This reargument occurred
in January, 1911.
The constitutionality of the tar
was attacked from all the points
from which any tax possible of en-
actment by Congress would be at
tackled. Prominent among the objeC
tons to the law through argumen
that the tax was a direct tax, mo-
apportioned, according to the Con
stitution. Some dubbed the tax q
corporation income tax" and invalit
for the same reasons that the in
come tax was declared unconstitut
ional in 1895. Others claimed tina
it was tax on state franchises, anC
hence was an unconstitutional inter
ference with the sovereignty of tn,
states. Another line of objections
was based on the argument that a
an excise tax 1t was not uniform
but contained unconstitutional class
lifications. The publicity features o
the returns were attacked as takini
private property without compen
sation. To all of these objections
the Department OF Justice, through
the late Solicitor General, Lloy,
| w. Bowers, at the first hearing an
through his successor, Frederick "
Lehman, at the second hearing
made answer.

Baseball in Hoosick Falls for 1911
is having Its beginning in proposal
put forth for the development OF
young players. The plan suggested
is to hire good coach, who will be
regular player on the team; to have
paid battery; games to be arrang-
ed with North Adams, Schenectady,
Pittsfeld and other towns during the
week and to play the Sunday games
at home. To start the scheme a sub
scription would be necessary In or
der to guarantee the coach and the
battery. The promoter stated that
there would be little difficulty In Sc
curing a sufficient fund by popular
subscription. This the Hoosick Falls
people believe brings playing con-
ditions back to something rational.

could AFFORD. A meeting will be call
ed later to present the scheme. and
there is no good reason why nine

1S-year-old boy who is charged with
the murder of his mother and sister.
was started yesterday morning in a
schoolhouse in Maidstone. before
Justice of the Peace Frank @. Ad-
ans of Giuldhall. The state is rep
resented by States Attorney II. b.
Amey of Island Pond and by Attor-
ney General Sargent Of Ludlow.
The boy is without counsel, and no
steps have been taken by the state
to procure an attorney for him.
The members of the boys family
have apparently all turned against
him, although he still claims his In
nocence. Bean was formally placed
under arrest yesterday; previous to
this he had been the charge of q
keeper.

among the relatives three daughters
and one other son of Mrs. Bean. No
, sign of recognition was exchanged
between the accused man and the
rest of the family.
Members of the family told friends
at the funeral that the cause OF the
tragedy was the disposal Of the
Bean home. They said that the
house was left to Arthur by his faith
er and that his grandfather, who is
over 100 years old, had recently sent
the young man a bill for labor and
expenses around the house, which, II
allowed, would amount to more
than the house was worth. The
youth objected to paying the bill.
and members Of the family took
sides in the matter.

STAR TAX COLLECTOR
Arthur ]. Dewey Cleaned Up Every
thing In Woodford

Woodford, March 14.-Everybody
is willing to give Arthur J. Dewey
the credit of being the best tax col
lector that Woodford ever had. Not
only did he collect all taxes on his
1910 book, but the back uncollected
taxes of 1904, 'O5, '06, OF, 'OS and 'O9
were placed in his hands for collec-
ton, and today the books are clear
and there is not a resident in town
with any tax in arrears. If there is
any other town which can show any
better business done in one year, We
would be pleased to know about it.
