Of l per cent on $4,000 $4,000 cI-

Essential to Peace.

Sir Edward was emphasizing the I'm

portance of upholdins the European
agreement on the subject Of Albania,

Germany, the chancellor said, 'has
been working to mitigate the Autro'
Russian tension, "but should war break
out, the German empire would unhesi'
tatingly fight beside her ally"
The chancellor then reiterated Prince
Bismarck's saying eff the French
wait for us to attack them, they will
wait forever" and concluded that there
was every reason to believe the present
French government wished to live IN
peaee with Germany, and THAT tho
French masses wished it, too
nBut the warlikc party in France,
he concluded, "is counting on the SD
perjority Of the French army in the be
lief that German cannon and military
Instructors have been tried and found
wanting by Turkey, on the Russian al
lance and perhaps on British assist
ance, Germany cannot ignore the as
pirations of such French and pan'slavl'
circles.

Corporation Tax Stands.

The bill also would re.enact the
present corporation tax law imposing a
per cent tax on the earnings Of cor
porations, stock companies, insurance
companies and the like, but it would
exempt partnerships. This is fiat tax,
there being no graduated scale as the
earnings increase. The few changes
from the present corporation tax act
concern chiefly the time Of making re-
turns and the time for collection.
The bill also includes under its pro-
visions the property and earnings in
this country Of persons who live
abroad.
It is estimated by members of the
ways and means committee that ap.
proximately $100,0o0,000 in revenue
may be derived from this new tax, in
cluding the corporation tax, that
amount making up for the deficit in
revenues to be derived from imports
by virtue Of the greatly reduced tariff
rates and the transfer to the free list
of articles that are classed as neces-
saries Of living
