CORPORATION TAX
IS CONSTITUTIONAL
SUPREME COURT IS UNANIMOUS IN
IN ITS DECISION.
q Viewed As Excise Tax-Income Of
Approximately $25,000,000
Is Assured.

Washington.+ln an unanimous opin-
ion, the supreme court OF the United
States Monday held that the corporation
tax provisions OF the Payne-Aldrich tar
III act were constitutional.
The opinion was announced by Justice
Day. 1t was an elaborate treatment OF
the subject, containing approximately
10000 words.
The justice first determined that the
tax was just what it claimed to be in
the act, namely, an excise tax on the
doing OF a corporate business, and not a
direct tax on the ownership OF prop
erty. With that point decided, the JUS
tice took up, at more length, the various
objections urged against the tax as an
excise. Finally, he interpreted the law
so as to apply to real estate COM
panies and the so-called public service
corporations, but not to real estate
trusts"
Practically all of the more than $27,-
100000 assessed for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1910, on corporations in the
United States has been paid into the
treasury. The exact amount received to
February ], 1911, the latest date for
which precise figures are available, a
$27,1 0S,1 1879. The amount assessed last
year was $o7,13O,904. Added to this
were penalties amounting to about
100000 for failure to pay the tax when
due.
What the tax will amount to this year
the commissioner of internal revenue,
who has charge OF the collection, IS
not yet able to determine, even approx
imate!y. All reports from corporations
were due March 1, and it is believed
practically all of them have been re-
ceived. But work has just been begun
on figuring out the assessments Which in
the few days since this task has begun
has totaled only about 81 ,500,0 00, q
small fractional part of the whole.

Barmalds In South Australia.
South Australia is suffering from a
barmaid famine. Two years ago bar
maids were abolished In that state by
act of parliament. No more could be
legally engaged, but those already en-
ployed could remain on condition that
they register themselves.
There are now only 400 of them left,
and the competition for their serv-
ices Is such that their wages have
jumped from rs shillings to G3 a
week. The hotels that have had to
employ barmen report a considerable
change for the worse in their receipts.

Because-D. D. D. starts the cure at

Because-It enables Nature to re-
