he said, the members would proceed to
the consideration of the tariff and
when the next Congress convened there
would be ready a systematic and thor
oughly considered plan for revision.
There are two ways of revising,the
tariff" he continued, zone by general
bill, the other by particular bills for
particular schedules, or even particular
bills for particular items. The con-
sensus of opinion among Democrats
seems to be that the latter is the pre-
ferable method and that we should
proceed to revise it by separate bills,
taking the most obnoxious schedules

Woman Began The Fight.


A woman began the fight on the con-
stitutionality of the corporation tax
imposed by provisions of the Payne
Aldrich tarim act Of 1909.
Even before the time. when the law
went i'm effect, Stella +. Flint, as gem
eral guardian of the property of Sam
uel n. Stone, Jr., a minor and owner
of stock i'm the Stone Tracy company
doing a general merchandise business
nj Windsor. VT. started proceedings 10
test the constitutionality of the law.
She protested against the Sone-Tracy
company making the return and pay
ing the tax, because, she claimed that
the law was unconstitutional. The
Circuit Court Of the United States for
the District of Vermont could not take
that view OF the law. and hence direct
ed that her petition be dismissed. She
appealed To the Supreme Court.
Upheld in Lower Courts.
The course pursued i'm the Vermont
case, was followed in seventeen other
suits brought in almost as many circuit
courts. In ALL the law was upheld, but
without extended consideration. The
theory was that the Supreme Court
would conduct an investigation into the
constitutionality Of the law. and that
the conclusions of the lower court
aid but little while it would delay thu
final determination.
The major part OF these cases were
argued before the Supreme Court last
March. but all were restored to the
docket for reargument before a full
bench
The legal contest is centered largely
over the consideration of a few words
in the extended provisions, relating to
the tax. The words are these:
The Bone Of Contention.
THAT every corporation, joint stock
company or association, organized foI
profit and having a capital stock rep
resented by shares, and every insur-
ance company shall be subject to pay
annually a special exercise tax with
respect to the carrying on or doine
business by such corporation, joint
stock company or association, or in
surance company equivalent to one
per centum upon the entire net income
over and above $1,000 received by II
from all sources during such year. ex-
elusive of amounts received by ii as
dividends upon stock Of corporations
Joint stock companies or association, ol
insurance companies, subject to tho
tax hereby imposed"
These words would bring S25,000,00t
annually into the federal treasury.
Attack From Many Sides.
The law was attacked in the frs
argument before the court from var
ious points of view. Maxwell Evarts
of New York, laid stress on the poin
that the law was unconstitutional be
cause IL invaded upon the corporate
franchise granted by a state to cor
poration. Former Senator Foraker
of Ohio, contended that despite thu
name given to the tax that il was {
corporation income tax" such as wer'
pronounced unconstitutional by the de
cisions of the court fifteen years ago
Besides these two conflicting argu
ment many other have been advances
by the long list of counsel engaged II
the various cases.
The government insisted that tn
law was just what IL said II was ol
it's face,-an excise tax assessed upol
doing business" rather than on"fran
chises," and not upon income. but mer
ely measured by income.

such plan was in contemplation.
