NOBODY ever saw an animal taught" How
= often one comes across that statement,
set forth as if it was an undisputed fact!
And yet, as DIR. Frank Baker says, it is alb
solutely untrue. Who, for example, that
knows and loves dogs is unfamiliar with
their smile? A dog, when pleased, has a
smile as bright and expressive as that of any
human being; and, in moments of delight,
he laughs aloud with JOY bark that is differ
ent from any other sound he utters. Other
animals display cheerfulness in similar ways.
An triangular, on occasions, will laugh sur
prisingly like man.
On the other hand, sick dog or lame
horse exhibits melancholy and detection as
plainly as any person. Animals show anger
in much the same way we do, and some
times they are extremely vindictive. Not
long ago there was lion, a magnificent
specimen. on exhibition in Washington, but
not at the Zoo, which sought repeatedly
to kill his keeper. The latter had angered

CORPORATIONS
OPPOSE BILLS
of Lega! Talent at
Hearing at Trenton.

Trenton. N. j.. Feb. 4.-An attack on
Governor Wilson's corporation bills was
begun when q score Of the best lawyers
Of the country opened up on them at
the hearing in the senate chamber held
by the senate Judiciary committee.
The first move was a request for fur
ther time to prepare the arguments
against the bills. 1t WAS made by ].
William Foster. general manager OF
the Strauss wooden mills Of New York.
who said he represented the Manufac
.urers' Association Of New Jersey.
Among the prominent agents OF big
corporations present were Richard V.
Lindabury. who has long been counsel
In New Jersey for the United States
Steel corporations; Kenneth K. McLAren
Of the Corporation Trust company OF
Jersey City. John ]. Burleigh and
Frank Bergen Of the New Jersey Pub
lie Service corporation. which runs
most OF the public utilities OF the state,
and f. w. Roebling. Jr.. Of the Roeb'
ling electric wire nce The prfnci
pal argument was made by Mr.. Linda
bury. who asked that the bill prohibit
Ing agreements rs to prices be amend
ed because as II stood 1t would "pfC-
Lib!t partners In a concern agreeing OIL
what to charge for their products
would prohibit employers from telling
employees what to charge. would pro
hibit agreements as to wage scales and
would prohibit parent companies liking
prices to be charged by subsidiary com
panies.
MIR. Lindabury also asked that the
bill prohibiting the formation OF mo
nopoly by merging Of corporations b<
changed to mean independent" corpo
rations and that the hill declaring II t.
lie a criminal oIense for an omcer OF
director to violate the corporation laws
be changed to read "willfully and
knowingly" violate the laws.
Chairman Davis said:
would that not be used as a subter
fugeT"
Mr.. Lindabury replied:
at would be ali right to hold the PAT
ticular responsible officer liable. but
the directors might be innocent. They
might be imposed upon"
He characterized this bill as 'e1'
tremely dangerous and unnecessary"
The bearing was adjourned to 10:St
O'Clock next Monday.

fesssd that he had collected 500 a

charge Of bribery.
Before he entered his plea Of guilty
Fox held q long and secret conference
with District Attorney Whitman and
Assistant District Attorney Frederick

against the policeman. In this confer
ence he made a clean breast Of his en-
tire graft collections and said he acted
as the agent for Police Captain Thorn

in Harlem. the collections averaging
from $25 to 500 Il month from thes2
places. Fox furnished Mr.. Whitmal
the names Of seven places from when
he made regular collections in the Cast

cinct.
In his confession Fox is said to have
declared THAI he kept none of the graf

TAX
A CERTAINTY
Both Delaware and Wyoming
Adopt Amendment.

Washington, Feb 4~Wyoming rsti-
ned b income tax amendment. the
sixteenth change in the constitution
and the first since the reconstruction.
states, three-fourths Of the Union.
which have approved the provision.
An income tax is now one Of the pro-
visions Of the constitution Of the Unit.
ed States.
Congress will now enact a law to
levy the tax. and 1t probably will be-
come effective during the extraordi-
nary session to be called by President
Elect Wilson In March. The tax itself.
its provisions and Its limitations. are
all left to congress.
Following Is the list of states which
have ratified the income tax amend
ment:
Alabama. Arkansas. Arizona, Califor-
MIA. Colorado. Delaware, Georgia.
Idaho. Illinois. Indiana. Iowa. Kansas.
Kentucky. Maine. Maryland. Michigan.
Minnesota. Mississippi. Missouri, Mon
tana. Nebraska, Nevada. New York.
North Carolina. North Dakota. Okla
homa. Oregon. South Carolina, South
Dakota. Tennessee. Texas. Washing
ton. Wisconsin. Louisiana. Ohio. West
Virginia. Wyoming.
The following rejected It:
Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island. Utah.
No action. or part only, was taken In
the eight other states.
Revenue of $~1oo,ooo,ooo.
The new law probably would super
sede the corporation tax and provide
for a tax on all incomes above SIS. 900.
although there has been some senti-
ment in favor OF making the limit as
low as 5 1900. Congressional leaders
who have been preparing for the inal
ratification by the states estimate an
income tax would bring In about $780,
100000 a year to the government.
West Virginia ratified the amend
ment last week. One house in New
Jersey and one in New Mexico have
approved 1t. Wyomipg's action was
NhoiiN iCAl'S tto az luis tiIlc.
The Democrats have beer confident
Of the ultimate success Of the income
tax amendment and made their tariff
arrangements with this view. Repre-
sentative Hull of Tennessee. who pre-
pared h excise tax bill which con
gress failed to pass last session. Is
working upon the income tax provi,
sion. 1t will probably levy a tax on In
ome as low as $4,000.
The income tax legislation must orig
mate in the house. az do the tariff bills.
While the present corporation tax
raises only about $40. 900 900, the gen
eral income tax is expected to bring In
nearly 500. 100000 annually toward
the support of the government.
