offered in evidence when Mr.. Farrell
testified on direct examination, be
cause the witness had to admit that
he had not prepared all the figures
himself. from first hand scources All
the exceptions go on record before
Special Examiner Brown, to be passed
upou some day by the Federal court
Exhibit Under Fire.
The special exhibit for the defense
under fire today was number forty
seven, which set forth the output or
the big subsidiaries Of the company
over a period of years and all showed
that during the same time competi-
ton by independents had grown.
Judge Dickinson wanted to know
about that directly from the witness,
and in every case the witness could
only answer that while he had gen
eral knowledge of the subject, he had
TO take his figures from secondary
sources.
The special companies taken up to-
day were tho American Bridge com
pany, which was said to have $50
competitors; the Tin Plate, the Sheet
Steel. and their subsidiaries, but there
were side excursions into several col
lateral matters
special Sales.
One was as to special sales made by
the Illinois Steel company to the In
ternational Harvester company, in
1903: another was the purchase OF the
Shelby Steel Tube company, which
was described as our only real COM
petitor." az a meeting Of the executive
committee of the United States Steel
corporation, and third was spe-
cial contract with the Hartman lines
for the delivery Of between 10000 and
i15. 900 tons Of structural steel an
nuaiiy.
This special contract was only ore
Of Il series with the Hartman lines,
some of which had been referred to
before.
You spoke OF the sales to the In
ternational Harvester company. Did
not the Illinois Steel oompany have a
preferential contract of sale to the
International Harvester company Z?
asked Judge Dickinson.
Matter of Salesmansliip.
The witness, after seine parrying,
said il was not a prefer entail con-
tract, although the judge showed
from minutes OF the Carnegie COM
panies meeting in July, 1908, that
the Illinois Steel company did sell
below the market. Witness declared
this was a matter of salesmansn.p.
Witness admitted the corporation took
over the Shelby Steel Tube company
about 1904.
Then the small Hartman structural
contract was taken up. That line of
questioning was not finished. because
the terms were vague. The defense
promised to produce the Hartman
contracts for tomorrow.

LAW.

AMOUNT LAID OUT TO COM
PANIES ACCORDING To At
ToRNEY FOR ROADS.

WASHINGTON. May 26.--The pro-
posed income tax will impose an ad
diffonal burden OF ss,50e,0oo a year
upcn the railroads OF the country. OF
this amount between s3.0ne.0 900 and
ss,56o.1o a year viii have TO be paid
By the railroads on bonds Issued by
them with the understanding that the
Interest was to he paid free of any
tax collected al the source. Another
100000 will he drawn from the
railroads on account Of double taxa
ton features in the bill, which do
not appear in the present corpora
ton tax law
These facts were disclosed today in
a brief filed by walker y. Hines. on
behalf Of twenty-five of the big rail-
roads OF tho country, with the sub
committee Of the senate finance COM
mittee, which is considering the In
come tax bill. The brief warns con-
rress fha., the tendency OF pro-
nounced and continued increases in
taxes upan the railroads Ia "A matter
of very grave concern to the people
of the United States.
Taxes Jump "a Per Cent.
7. shows that the taxes per mile
Of line on the railways of the United
States have increased since 1900 by
"a per cent, and that the ratio or
taxes 10 net operating revenues has
Jumped In the same period from $40
TO 1895 per cent
The cumulative effect Of the income
tax imposed on the railroad com
panies" says the brief. eventually Will
make itself felt In the matter of rail
road credit. and then will have Its eff
feet on impairing the development and
Improvement of railroad service"
One of the features OF the pending
bill To which the railroads object par
ticuiarlv. Is that which imposes ia,
upon dividends received ny holdinf
compa MES from other corporations
notwithstanding the fact that the ta'
already has been paid once by th'
subsidiary corporations.
Claim Double Taxation.
The brief shows for instance that th'
Union Pacific under the provision un
der discussion. will be subject to s
treble taxation. to-wtt: the net income
of the Union Pacific, as derived from
dividends OF the Oregon Washington
Railroad and Navigation company. and
by the double taxing cf the net In
come of the Union Pacific, derived
from the dividends of the Oregon
Short Line Railroad company.
The brief estimates that this plan
OF inaugurating a tax on dividends
received by railroad companies from
other corporations which also are
subjected Ia tn etax. will burden the
railroad companies with. an addition
al tax of about $4,000, 900.
1t is estimated that 81 ZOO. 900 more
A year will be added by the plan
proposed in the pending bin Of treat
ing as net income the interest paid
by railroad companies on the part oi
