A complaint was received yesterday by

Mich. of the robbery of one of their
officers at Viesca, Cahuila. Acting Sec
retary Adee asked Ambassador Wilson
at Mexico City to make an investigation
and reports the facts to this country.
William Mccoy, who represents the
company in the Mexican province, was
attacked by bandits and severely beaten.
All his vaIuables were taken, and both
Mccoy and his wife left in a precarious
condition.
At the State Department it was said
that the most this government could do
would be to protest TO the Mexican gov
ernment, and perhaps ask for indemnity.

CORPORATION TAX SUSTAINED.

In an unanimous opinion the Supreme
Court of the United States Monday held
that the corporation tax provisions of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff act were con-
stitutional. Thus ended a controversy
waged almost continuously since Pre-
sident Taft first suggested the enact
ment to Congress.
The opinion was announced by JUS
tice Day, appointed to the Supreme
Court bench from Ohio in 1908. 1t was
an elaborate treatment of the subject,
containing approximately 10000 words.
About half an hour was spent by the
Justice in explaining the position of
the court orally to the bar, the printed
opinion being used as basis for the
remarks.
The main points Of the opinion, as
read by Mr.. Justice Day, are:
1t was within the power of the SEN
ate to insert the corporation provisions
in Il tariff law which originated in the
house.
The tax is an "excise tax on the do
ing of business" which is exactly the
basis on which the government defend
ed the law
The provisions Of the law are not the
arbitrary exercise of power. This
was urged in argument as one reason
why the law should be held unconsttu-
tional.
The tax is regarded as measured by
income rather than being a tax on in
come.
The law is not applicable to the real
estate trusts Of Boston, which are
organized not under any statute, but
under the common law.
