DEMAND CERTAIN REFORMS

tary Operations on Promise of Rad
icai Changes in Present Government
Methods, Including Possibly the Re-
tirement of President Diaz.
Washington, March 1.-THE future
of the Mexican revolution may be de-
cided during the next day or two in
New York city Despite all denials
certain negotiations are in progress
there between the representatives of
Diaz and the representatives of the
insurrectionists. Just what they are,
and who made the first overtures, can
not now be learned in Washington.
But it is known here that the negotia-
tions have reached a delicate point
and that they may mark the crisis in
the present revolt against Diaz and
his government.
That the Diaz government has con-
sented to treat with the representa-
tives of the revolutionary forces is
looked upon here as the first substan-
tial fruits of President Taft's steps
toward Intervention.
Limantour the Mexican minister of
finance, and the right hand man OF
Diaz; De la Bara, the Mexican am
bassador; DR.. Vasquez Gomez, head OF
the revolutionary junta at Washing
ton, and Gustave Madero, brother OF
the revolutionary general, are all In
New York.
Well Equipped for Task
Limantour is the best equipped man
| in Diaz' cabinet to conduct negotia
tions with the revolutionists. He is
an old friend of the Madero family
having been on intimate terms with
| the father of the Madero brothers
| who is now dead, and also with theii
grandfather, who is still living in Mex
leo at the age of ninety. This per

tion to meet with the Madero repre-
sentatives in New York. 1t is under
stood here, however, that this family
| friendship does not mean that the Ma
deros would accept Limantour as 9
possible successor to Diaz. They de
not believe in his governmental poll
| cies any more than they do in those
| of the Mexican president himself.
They are, however, willing to tall
with him. 1t is, of course, possible
| that Limantour might, by giving Ger
| tain guarantees of political reforms
| induce the Madero forces to cease mil

Federal Tax on Corporations
Declared Legal.
OPINION IS UNANIMOUS
Decision Written by Justice Day Sus-
tains Governments Contentious as
to the Validity of the Act-Verdict
of the Court Adds $25,000, 900 An
nualIy to the Federal Revenues.

Washington, March 1.-THE corpo-
ration tax provisions of the Payne
Aldrich tariff act were sustained as
constitutional by the supreme court
of the United States. The court was
unanimous in it's decision. Thereby a
source of income of approximately
$25,OO0,O00 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 suf-
ficient to nullify the law The court
did hold that the tax was not appllca'
Bile to the real seatte trust OF Bos-
ton, which was organized not under
any statute but under the common
law.
The law was held not applicable TO
the Minneapolis syndicate, a real es'
tate concern, on the ground that IL
was not doing business within the
meaning of the law.

Justice Day.
Scope of Impost Defined.
Near the outset of the opinion, as
1t appears in printed form, is the
statement that the tax is imposed mol
upon franchises of the corporation, III
respective of their use in business, mol
upon the property of the corporations
but upon the doings of corporate or In
surance business and with respect t(
the carrying on thereof in sun
equivalent to / per centum of the en-
tire net income over and above S5,VoO

manner it is a tax upon the doing OF
business with the advantages which

Long Talk of Great Sachem.

The annual report (or long talk IN
the Indian figure of spech) OF the
great sachem, Otto Klettner, to the
great council of South Carolina, I. O..
R. NJ, at Greenville in April, is an
interesting paper, and would be read
able matter to others besides Red Men.
When the report was submitted the
fact was noted that all previous rec
ords had been broken and surpassed
by Mr. Klettner as great sachem OF
the order in the State, showing MS
record to be the best that has been
made since the organization OF the
great council p years ago. This Is a
fine and noble record and places high
in the front ranks the man from New
berry, who wears his honors so mod
estly and whose generosity of spirit
prompts him to express the hope and
the wish that his successor to the
chair Of great sachem will even excel
that record. During his reign the
wisdom of Great Sachem Klettner was
instrumental in bringing the order up
to the highest standard and his IN
fuence was felt throughout the State.
It would be we'll for the great council
to heed the counsel of It's retiring pre-
siding officer in his excellent report
as submitted to the order and for the
tribes generally to adopt the wise sug-
sestions therein contained, as it is
sound advice beneficial to the citizen
ship of the State at large, exclusive as
well as inclusive of Redmanship. The
report concludes with sentiments that
would ennoble any order and any cit
izen if carried in the heart-oegln-
ming:
"And only the Master shall praise u.s.
And only the Master shall blame.

Report of Road Inspector No. 8 Town
shin '-

To the Supervisor. of NeWberTy
County-Dear Sir: beg to submit my
report as road inspector for No. 8
township. Having inspected the said
roads, I find them in very good con-
dition, owing to the dry fall and
spring. One or two overseers have
worked their roads. The rest have
not done anything to their roads. Find
all roads too narrow with side ditch
es filed up with trash and weeds. A
good many places the farmers are
blowing out in the roads, leaving not
enough room for ons buggy or wagon
to go along without humping over open
burrows. I recommend that said far
mers working the public roads oe
made pay rent for same. I find the
road from Dead Fall leading to Old
Town has no oyerseer. I recommend
that Mr.. Dan DeHart be appointed to
that road. Also find that from Beaver
Dam creek by Mr.. John Wicker's
place without overseer, and recon-
mend that Tom Neal (coD be ap-
pointed On said road, and that he be
Instructed to cut one ditch on both
sides of road about two feet deep by:
two feet wide at the creek, each about
twenty-five yards long, owing to the
amount of blue mud.
Find the bridge over Beaver Dam,
close to Utopia school house, In very
bad condition. The banister needs to
be replaced with new lumber. And
also the approach to the Werber-
bridge, the banister is also very rot
ten. I recommend that the superW-
sor send part of his gang back on the
road leading from Newberry straight
to Dead Fall, and widen the road at
the pine about 200 yards from the
Wielch branch. It is impossible to
pass if you meet at this point

GOVERNOR ATTACKS
COTTON MILL MERGER
THINKS THEY WILL PROVE IN
FURIOUS TO STATE.
Believes it An Effort to Control Price
of Cotton and Price of Labor in
All Cotton Mills.

Governor Blease in an interview
makes the cotton mill mergers, the
Parker merger, in particular.
He gave out the following interview:
"In my opinions the mill mergers
will prove very injurious to the peo-
pie Of the State, as whole, and as
there was so much fuss raised about
the railroad merger, I am surprised
that some people are not taking an in
terest, as the law directs, in looking in
to the mill mergers. In my opinion, 1t
is only an effort to absolutely control
the price of cotton and to control the
price of labor in all cotton mills. Our
supreme court has already held
against black-Hsting anu gave DAM
ages against the head of this merger,
in one instance, where this was prac-
ticed. When the merger 10 co1npleteu,
and the operatives are imposed upon,
and see fit to leave mill, it is only
necessary for the president TO urop
secret word to the superintendent OF
his mills to give that family no en-
ployment; hence, the party has no re-
dess, because he can not obtain the
proof as to his being blacklisted.
Says Effort to Control Votes.
1T is also an effort to control the
vote of the cotton mill people, rs mas
been attempted for some years past,
but in this they will fail, for the mill
people of this State are of our own
blood and kin; they are Intelligent,
free and independent and will not be
coerced or controlled in their votes,
and, they will resent it, even If it
costs them their jobs. Another thing,
the mill merger is causing people to
change their homes; taking them from
one place and carrying them to where
the central Offices are located. l am
SURPRISED, in this respect, that Colum-
bia has not walked up long ago, TOR as
long as the officers of these mills are
residents of other cities, and the OF
fees are in those cities, just that long
olurnbia will suffer by the experience,
and the fact that the Offices are all IN
other cities is injurious to Columbia;
however, Columbia does not seem to
care much about being injured"
