TAXATION ON 'THE DOING
 OF CORPORATE BUSINESS

The decision of the U. S. Supreme court upon the corporation income tax was unanimous, and it is, of course, final. It is held by the court that i. is an excise tax on the transaction of corporate business. That 1t cis- tinguishes between business transacted by corporations and the same business as transacted by partnerships or 1n- dividuais. Is explained by the court as due to the advantages inhering in cor porations-that is continuity of busi- ness without interruption, absence of personal liability, etc. It is not, the court says, a tax upon franchises nor upon corporate property. but upon the doing Of corporate business. and it Is held to apply to the net income above s5.0oo from all sources except dividends on stock of other corpora tions subject to the tax.
 With regard to the claim that the tax is invalid because levied upon cor porations created by the States. the decision says that this, if allowed, might impair an authority (which may be essential to national exist ence".
 The court disposes of every argu- nient used against the tax, and Presi- nue measure and pushed it through Congress as a Senate amendment to the Aldrich tariff, is said to be de- lighted over the decision.
 It has been fought in the courts almost from the date of it's enact ment, and large sums of money have been expended in the litigation. The government received from the first year of it's operation over $27,000, GOO. and the second instalment will become due efi July 1st. This sum does not seem large. when 1t is considered that there are 2e2. .4s0 taxable corporations upon the governments list.
 Now that the pernlanency of the tax Is assured, corporations which have, pending the decision, held the matter of adjusting themselves to the new condition and of seeking means of evasion, will probably proceed to ac- tion. Aside from false returns of in- come which are very unsafe. the only visible means of evasion seems to be dissolution Sf corporations and their reorganization under copartnership or individual ownership. This carries the disadvantage of personal liability, end it is not probable that many cor porations will adopt it.. A corpora ton having a net income of S5,000 is generally too large for individual con- trol.

WARNING ITO RAILROAD MEN.

Look out for severe and even dan gerous kidney and bladder trouble resulting from years of railroading. Geo. E. Bell, 639 Third St., Fort Wayne, Ind, was many years a con- ductor on the Nickel Plate. He says:
 Twenty years of railroading left my kidneys in terrible condition. There was a continual pain across my back and hips and my kidneys gave me much distress. and the action of my bladder was frequent and most pain full. I got supply of Foley Kidney Pills and the first bottle made a won derful improvement and four bottles cured me completely. Since being cured I have recommended Foley Kidney Pills to many of my raiIroa | friends" F. B. Brill and Curtis :Phar- macy. *135

There appear to be a number of Americans among the Mexican insur- rectos, and their courage skill and energy seem to have been the prin- cipal factors in whatever successes the insurrectos have achieved. They are soldiers of fortune probably that is. they are afield for the love of fighting and for it's rewards if suc- cessful. and not on account of any par ticular devotion to the principles at stake.
 If any Of them are captured and shot. as is not wholly improbable in view of certain action by the Diaz government. a great cry may arise from this country, not over the execu- ton of Americans, but over the bar barity of the penalty for enga ging actively in the revolution.

The Home Market Club of Boston, which is the leading high tariff organ izatioH, antagonizes the reciprocity agreement with Canada and embodies in it's resolutions statement that in a speech at Atlanta on the 10th Pres ident Taft said that he instructed his commissioners to offer Canada, full free trade. but that the Canadians de- clined the offer because theirs is a protective country. Upon this, the club bases charge that the agree ment ignores the fact that the United States is also a protective country
 Of course, the assumption implied by rns club is that this country gives ->uii free trade" to Canada, but does not receive it in return, which is not at all the fact. The clubs position Illustrates the paucity of arguments against the agreement

Face Peeling Easy
Blonde or Brunette

The blondes complexion fades early,
because her skin is extraordinarily
valieri, perhaps the most famous living
beauty. The brunette's, as a rule, is
the reverse. The skin is thicker and
has a tendency to an oily appearance. +"
For either the faded blondes skin or
the brunette's oily or sallow complex
ion, the best remedy is ordinary mer-
coiized wax. Used daily, this will give
one an entirely new complexion within
about weeks time. The wax grad
ually absorbs the WORKOUT surface
skin, with all it's defects, a little each
day, without affecting the delicate I'M
derskin in the least. The latter will
have the equisitely beautiful glow of
youth-indeed, one may readily lose ten
or fifteen years from her age, so far
as appearance goes, by a course of this
simple treatment. Mercolized wax.
securable at any drug store, is applied
like cold cream.

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

We are going to have a whist

isn't that nice" said L. ''And I
pany 2"
oh, my yes" said the bright little
GIRL And I'm going to play, too.
mat 1nat is II someone doesn't come and
with an deliberately confidential air.
Il really play better than mother
does, but some people are queer about
not liking to play whist with chill
dren, no matter how smart they are,
father says, so I'm only going to fill
The bright little girl is going on
twelve.
She is a remarkably bright little
girl. She would be also a remarka b1v
pleasing little girl if it were not that
she so frequently mirrors the fulsome
flattery of her adoring parents in ways
like the above.
OF course my first feeling was one
of dislike and antagonfsm towards this
priggish little peacock.
But my sober second thought was
pity for her.
Poor little girl. She was only mir
roring the bombastic opinion of her
self which her parents continually
held before her 1t is the most nat
ural thing in the world that she
should. She can hardly help it any
AiiOIe lHdn d 1uITTOT can h6lp giving
back the image of what is held be-
fore it.
But just think of all the dislike and
ridicule and antagonism she is going
to bring down on herself.
Truly, I think such parents are al
most as guilty of cruelty to children
and as fit subjects for the society with
the long name as the parents who
beat their little ones.
For I don't think that actual beat
ing could cause much more suffering
than the attitude into which her par
entS have gotten her is going to cause
this bright little girl.
It is so easy to let a bright child
see that you consider it a very mar
velous creature with whom the rest
of the world is scarcely fit to asso-
ciate.
It is so hard to keep your pride in
its wonderful wit and precocity and
beauty to yourself.
But if whenever parents are tempt
ed to be careless in this regard they
would stop and think of the inevitable
unhappiness they are preparing for
their children it doesn't seem to me
they would take the easiest way"
Wit and precocity and beauty are
all nothing unless they bring what
most of us want more than anything
else on earth-love and popularity.
And If you neutralize them with a
bonn bastic self conceit they will not
bring those precious boons.
Just think of that the next time you
want to tell your bright little girl
that she plays whist better than her
mother and that grownup folks are
queer not to want to play with her or
whatever the particular dose OF flat
terry you are inclined to administer
happens to be.
