CORPORATION TAX
DECLARED VALID
Supreme Court Holds Law
Constitutional.
An EXCISE TAX ON BUSINESS
Decision lnsures an Annual Income
For the Government of $25,ooo,o 900
or More.

For the Government of $25,0OO,OOO
or More.
The corporation tax was declared
constitutional by the unanimous de
cision of the supreme court Of the
United States. The decision was deliy-
cred by Associate Justice William R.
Day
Washington, March IA. - The cor
poration tax was declared constitu-
tional by the unanimous decision Of
the supreme court of the United
States The decision was delivered by
Associate Justice William r. Day.
This upholding of the validity of a
new system of raising revenue. made
part of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, IS
a sweeping victory for the administra-
tion as the tax was evolved by Presi-
dent Taft himself.
| The decision insures an annual in
come for the government Of $25OO0.-
900 or more, the collections for the
fiscal year having amounted to more
than $26,9OO,0OO.
The decision is the first in the
three big cases affecting the business
world to which financial interests and
lawyers have long looked forward
with greatest interest. The others
are the dissolution suits against the
so-called oil trust and tobacco trust
All three have been reargued since
the presidents recent appointments
to the supreme court.
Government Loses One Point.
OF all the objections to the tax
raised by suits in all parts of the /
country none of them was found sufi /
cient to nullify the law. The court |
did hold that the tax was not appli- !
cable to the real estate trusts" OF /
Boston, which are organized, not un
der any statute, but under the com
mon law.
The law was held not applicable
also to the Minneapolis syndicate, a
real estate concern, on the ground
that it was not doing business" with
in the meaning Of the law.
Justice Day first announced that
it was within the power of the sen
ate to insert the corporation tax pro
visions in the tariff law. which orig
mated in the house
He said that the court held the tax
was an excise tax on the doing of
business" This is exactly the basis
on which the government defended the
law
Justice Day next held that the tax
provisions were not the arbitrary ex-
ercise of a power This was urged
in argument as one reason why the
law should be held unconstitutional.
BY regarding the tax as measured
by income rather than being a tax on
income, the opinion held that the law
Vas constitutional, nOtwithst anding
hat the law might reach the income
rom sources in themselves non-tax-
,ble
Near the outset the opinion sets
orth that the tax lis imposed not
Ipon the franchises of the corpora

less, nor upon the property of the r
orporaton, but upon the doing of i
orporate or insurance business, and [

BOB STUBBS BADLY HURT IN ACCIDENT DURING THE
 MILE RACE AT THE FAIR

While going at the terrific speed of 70 miles an hour, Robert Stubbs, riding an Indian motorcycle, was thrown from his machine yesterday afternoon at the fair grounds race track and severely injured about the head and face.
 The accident happened during the seventh lap of the ten mile final race Of the afternoon, with Charles Bake, Ed DeRosier and Stubbs in the race. Bake was leading. with DeRosier an eighth of a mile behind and Stubbs the same dis tance behind DeRoser Just as Stubbs was nearing the end of the third quar- ter, the theory is, the rear of his machine became punctured. causing the wheel to collapse, hurling the rider to the ground and skidding him along with his ma chine for a few yards.
 Stubbs was badly hurt just under the right eye, his face being severely torn and burised. It is feared that he win lose the eye. When the machine was examined it was found that the carbure- ter had been ''shot'' to pieces, and it later developed that at the time of the accident. Stubbs was working with this part of his machine.

TAFT STANDING TIE
 HARDSH|PS WELL Has Only Spent Four Days Ashore SPEAKS OF THE CANAL Presidents Reciprocity Speech Was Short, But It Brought Forth
 Some Applause-Taft and
 the Japanese

Seattle. october 9.-This was President Taft's fourth night ashore since he
 left Beverly September 15. In the 2i
 days he has granted himself ''shore
 leaye overnight from his private car
 only at Erie, Pa. Marquette, Mich, oma- ha and Seattle. In spite of the hardships of constant travelling, he has stood the trip well.
 MT. Taft spent the day travelling south from Bellingham, Wash, little more than 20 miles from the Canadian line to Seattle Tonight he spoke in the armory here. As in the eastern part of the state last week, large crowds turned out 10
 hear the President.
 MT. Tafts first speech of the day was at Bellingham. He predicted the opening
 for traffic of the Panama canal by July
 1, 1913; said Canada would be sorry she
 had not adopted reciprocity treaty and
 talked about conservation. Speaking of
 the opening of the Panama canal the
 President said he would let the people
 of Nottingham into little official con- fdence."
 If nothing untoward h6ppens," he said, you can count on tneCOHlplelioi ol tHo
 canal not later than the first of July, 1913. It has been promised on the first of January 1915 and if it is not ready untli then. you must not say that anypody made a promise hat it would be conl- pleted before. l am expressing a nope based on calculation, but of course man
 proposes and God disposes and it is possi- ble that something will happen down there that may continue the work until the first of January 1915. But l don't want YOU to have any unpleasant sur prises. I don't want you to have heart disease if you learn that the first steamer goes through on the first of July 1913.
 ..There is one topic that I had intend- ed to discuss with you,' said the. Presl- dent. but our neighbors across the bor- der settled that a week or more ago ana seemed to make no past history But l think you will agree with me that in doing so they made a mistake and that had that treaty gone through 1t would have been greatly beneficial to both coun- tries.''
 Now we think we know a little more on this side than they do on theirs be-
 cause we are an old country and after some years of experience it is possible they will come to take the right view but
 whether that be so or not- if they don't grow as rapidly as we do and as rapidly as they might have grown they cannot say it is our fault
 Before leaving the speakers platform
 at Bellngham, Sono Takigama, a pretty little Japanese woman, representing the Japanese society of the city, presented
 to the Prsident bouquet of flowers.

Commons Has Plan

New Orleans, October 9.-A plan to make the strike of shop employees against the Illinois Central railroad a long fight has been evolved by Benjamin Commons, president of the New Orleans Street Rail- way Garments union. It calls upon every member of whatever craft not on strike to give one days pay week to the strike fund of the Federated Employes union in each city involved caring for it's own strikers.
 In speaking of his plan President Con- mons made the statement that the pres ent struggle is the final stand of capital against labor, and would be of endurance He regards it as a fight in which every union man is personally interested, thai it is national and localized.
 He believes his plan is better than a sympathetic strike of all crafts, plan to fight capital with the money being paid to union men employed now.
 The strike situation in this city and vicinity tonight was quiet
 Strikebreakers were at work today at Stuyvesant docks and in the Southern Pacific shops at Algiers.
 s barge laden with strikebreakers was carried from Stuyvesant docks this after noon up the river 10 Harahan, the offl- cials caring not to transport them through the city streets. It was thought small pox had broken out among the strike breakers but upon investigation thls proved false, only one prospective patient having been bitten on the face by mos uuitOes

He was taken to local infirmary by the ambulance of the Johns Undertaking company, which is in constant attendance at the fair where his injuries were at tended to. Beyond the gash under the eye his injuries are not considered very serious.
 In speaking of the accident, MT Bake expressed his extreme regret at it's oc- currence. "I did not know that MT. Stubbs had fallen until the second lap after the accident when I saw that the crowd had congregated around there. I knew that something had happened and I just de- duced that Stubbs or DeRosier had fallen l am very sorry that it happened"
 Mir DeRosier also expressed his sorrow over the accident. He said, "No matter what trouble I have with a man I am riding against, when he gets hurt, it is all off, and 1 am among the first to render him aid. This afternoon I did not know that MT. Stubbs had fallen until he had been taken from the ground. Please express my extreme regrets over the accident which I sincerely hope is not serious"
 The developments show that it was purely an accident for which no one was to blame. The accident will have no ef- feet on the motorcycle races during the remainder of the fair. They vii be run just as usual.

CABINET CRISIS ID
 BRING SURRENDER Any Trouble in European Turkey Would Be Fatal
 to the Empire

Rome, October 9.-The crisis at Con- stantinople due to pressure brought upon the Sultan by the powers to have him realize that any trouble in Euro pean Turkey might be fatal to the whole. empire may lead, according to reports from reliable sources. to a com plete surrender.
 It Is even hinted there is something Of bluff in the Italian military prepar- ations, and strict censorship, both be- ing intended to influence a surrender by Turkey at an early date.
 A wireless message from Tripoli says that through last night the Bedouin cavalry secured the outskirts of the town evidently trying to determine whether a surprise would be possible CT to lure the Italians to a place where the bulk of the Turkish garrison is camped In a fortified position.
 The searchlights from the battleships exposed the horsemen and artillery fire in their direction drove them back.
 Friends of Rechaid Pasha explain that his refusal to accept the portfolio of foreign affairs in the new Turkish cab met was due to d disagreement with his colleagues over a programme which he submitted as a basis of settlement with Italy. He was convinced that the only pcssihe way in which Turkey was able to save anything was to cede Tripoli to the Italians.
 Demonstrations in honor of King Vic- tor Emmanuel as he proceeded from San Rossore to Naples for a farewell to the troops embarlling for Tripoli indicate that the war continues popular. Last night great crowds filled the railway sta- ton and lined the route of the royal train.
 The crowds carried torches and when ever the train stopped demanded to see the King. Although his majesty was badly in need of rest he was compelled to appear repeatedly. He was rewarded invariably with an outburst of applause.
 Most of the bishops have directed the clergy to urge their congregations to pray for the success of the Italian army
