Washington. DR.. c.. March 1s.-The
corporation tax provisions Of the
Payne-AIdrich tariff act were sustained
today as constitutional by the supreme
court of the United States.
Thereby source of income, of ap-
proximately $25,000,000 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 nullify
the law.
The court did not hold that tax was
not applicable to the real estate
trust" Of Boston. The law was held
not applicable to the Minneapolis Syn
dictate, a real estate concern on the
ground that 1t was not doing busI-
ness" within the meaning of the law.
The court was unanimous in the
corporation tax decision. Justice Day
first announced that 1t was within
the power of the senate to insert the
corporation tax provision in the tariff
law, which originated in the house and
Of which the tax provisions are a
part. Justice Day said, as IL appear
ed to those who listened to ham that
the court held the tax as an excise
tax on the doing Of business" which
is exactly the basis on which the gov
eminent has defended the law. He next
seemed to hold that the tax provisions
were not the arbitrary exercise Of
power. This was urged I'm the argu-
ment as one reason why the law should
be held unconstitutional.
The fight against the constitutional
ity OF the corporation tax began al
most Immediately after the enactment
OF the Payne~AldricFt tariff law of 1905.
OF which 1t is part. During the long
days Of wrangiing in congress over
that measure, President Taft origin
ated plan to raise part OF the rev.
enue necessary for the running of the
government by imposing a corpora
ton tax. He is said to have made the
first rough draft Of the proposed law
and to have asked the department of
justice to perfect Ii.
Scarcely fifteen years before. the SUI
preme court of the United States had
declared unconstitutional the income
tax enacted by congress In order to
have a valid tax, the errors of that
law had to be avoided Finally the
attention of members of the house and
senate were called to the proposed cor
poration tax as a constitutional meas
ure. 1t was urged as preferable to
another income tax, which, 1t was ar
gued, probably would be declared I'M
and as under the cir
better legislation than an
tax. When the tariff bill
as an amendment TO the
Payne bill passed by the house. They
there and became a part of
the tariff act.
The provisions of the law stated
that the tax was a special excise
tax with respect to the carrying on or
doing business" 1t was to be paid
by every corporation, joint stock COM

CRUSHED To
DEATH Under
ROCK SLIDE
Fearful Accident 0ccurSi in Mine
on Iron Range
Death List Now Placed at IA

Catastrophe Occurred Near s
O'clock Saturday

Virginia, MINI, March 13.-All last
night continued search for the re-
manning unbound victims of the Sat
urday caye-in at the Norman mine
was prosecuted by a small army Of
workers and today the work of remov-
ing the immense mass of ore and de-
br1s received new impetus. II is
thought by Pres. w. J. Olcott of the
Oliver Iron Mining Co., that possibly
two weeks work is ahead of those now
digging in under the tons of the slide
before the last of the dead bodies
VIII have been recovered.
Scenes of terrible grief of those
whose relatives were snuffed out in
the big slide continue TO be heard
rending accompaniment to the inces-
SAINT fall Of the pick and the crunch
OF the shovel as work of rescue speeds.
Officially and as nearly as correct as
at present Is possible to estimate the
death list will not exceed fourteen or
fifteen. In addition from four to six
were injured by being partially COW
cred in the slide,
President Olcott Of the Oliver com
pa1y In speaking of the disaster said
that particular body of ore had been
considered the safest part of the mine,
and he is at a loss to understand
from what cause such large amount
OF ore should break loose and come
crashing down the slope.
The fearful accident occurred Sat
urday afternoon at 10 minutes to
o'clock, when 100000 tons of iron ore
rock earth, ice and snow shot down
upon number of tracl1layers work
ing in the Norman open pit mine.

NO ACTION
ON PARDONS
Taft Has Not Glanced atMorSe
or Walsh Papers
ARE VERY VOLUMINOUS
STORY SENT OUT FROM NEW
YORK THAT TAFT WOULD
GRANT PARDoNs OF INcARcER-
ATE0 BANKERS AT THIS TIME
IS ENTIRELY ERRONEOUS.

Augusta, Ca, March 13.-Starting in
the third day of his brief vacation
Taft played all of an eighteen hole
course of golf this morning. Shortly
after Mr.. Taft came in from the course
1t was said he has not so much as
glanced at the papers in the proposed
Morse pardon case.
The reports which reached Augusta
from New York that the president
would sign a pardon for the convicted
banker, now serving a term in At
lanta federal penitentiary, are entirely
erroneous. The papers, presented as a
basis for the Morse pardon, are ex-
tremely voluminous and the president,
up to this time, had not examined the
documents.
He insists on sitting every detail of
evidence in all pardon applications or
appeals for sentence Communication.
There is little likelihood that any ac-
tion will be taken on either the Morse
or Walsh cases until after Mr. Taft
returns to Washington, next week.
The papers were brought along to be
gone over if the president might feel so
disposed, but there was no specific plan
to take action at this time.
