VALIDITY OF INCOME
TAX LAW ATTACKED
Detroit Automobile Manufacturers
Bring Suit Against Osborn in
District Supreme Court.
THREE PROVISIONS INVOLVED

John F. and Horace z. Hodge. Of De-

and automobiles. through Attorneys Fred
A. Baker, Of Detroit. and Thomas 8.
Hopkins, of Washington. have filed a
bill In the District Supreme Court against
William ii. Osborn. commission Of in
ternal revenue. in which they attack the
constitutional validity OF three different
provisions Of the income tax law.
They contend that the law unduly dis
eliminates in favor of corporations. and
against individuals and partnerships, in
three particulars: First. In laying a
tax OF from l to 6 per cent on the net
income OF individuals. including partner
ship gains and profits, exceeding SEQ 900
and in not levying like surtax on the
net incomes OF corporations exceeding Se0.-
900,
Second, in levying an additional surtax
on the income Of an individual in excess
Of 10000. who holds stock in a corporation
on the share to which he would be en-
titled Of the gains and profits. IL d.
vided or distributed. whether divided or
distributed or not, of all corporations,
joint stock companies or associations,
however created or organized, formed, or
fraudulently availed of, for the purpose
Of preventing the imposition Of such tax
through the medium of permitting such
gains and profits to accumulate instead
Of being divided or distributed, and
thereby subjecting Individual stockhold-
ers to a tax on corporate gains and
profits which they have not received and
may never receive.
Third. in permitting corporations and
not individuals and partnerships TO with
hold from income taxation such portion
of their gains and profits and net in
come, as may be reasonably necessary
for the needs and purposes Of the busi-
ness I'm which they are engaged"

A CALAMITY HOWL

Republican leaders Mann, Hum
phrey and other Republicans have
announced through their speeches
in the senate and house the plan
Of the next Republican campaign.
1t is to be a calamity howl cam
paign. Every failure in the United
States is to be carefully recorded
and is to be annouccd in loud and
vocifcrous voice from the stump.
AS during all Of the time that the
Republican party was in power,
failures averaged two hundred a
week, and until the Democratic
leaven gets into full working power
they cannot be expected to be
stopped; it is probable that they
can gather enough to produce an
effect on my standpat audience
without much trouble.
There is one thing that has been
rather discouraging for Mr.. Mann
and his c0-workers. Since those
speeches we're made the usual an.
nual reports have been made from
all the industrial centcrs and for
almost every town and city in the
United States. The tenor Of them
all shows a prosperous year, and
brighter prospects than usual are
reported. One thing that looks
very bad for them is that the wheat
crop Is looking better than it ever
did at this time Of the year ard
the acreage is much larger. The
world generally Is coming to un.
dcrstand that prosperity depends
on good crops and that trading
in stocks and bonds creates no new
wealth. While the stock market,
from which they draw all their in.
SEPARATION in predicting calamity is
seeing dull times, the wheat contin-
to grow and the moisture
condition all owe the country is
as good as ever reported and the
crops mainly depend on that.

AN EXPENSIVE SYSTEM

There appears to be considerable
sentiment throughout the state
favoring a return to the old system
of a State Auditor which was abol-
ished some two or three years ago.
The state Auditor was under a sal
airy of $4,000 per year and audited
state and county accounts through
out the State. He appeared unan
nounced and as often as every six
months in some counties. He sub.
mitted his reports to- the grand
jury of the several counties and
to the proper state authorities.
Under this sy stem the audit was
made frequently and the sole ex-
pense to counties and state general
fund to which all counties of course
paid its pro rata.
Under the new system now in
vogue only credited expert ac-
countants authorized by the State
Board Of Accountancy ran make
audiis for the state fund or for
counties. An appropriation was
made Of $1,000 for this board. Ev.
perts securing the State Boards
permit, must put up o fee Of S25.
The new plan seems to increase
the expense Of exporting upon the
various counties and in storey
county alone it has entailed on adj
ditional expense Of at least $500
since the Office Of State Auditor
was abolished. A conservative
estimate Of the expense incurred
in all counties Of Nevada by this
method is at least $4,000 per year
and some places It is as high MS
$4,000 per year instead Of $1,000
as formerly. Storey county in tho
past has audited the books Of oil
officials at the close of each admin
istrstion so that the cost has pro-
badly not been as great here as
elsewhere.
Every county has local men fully
as competent to expert the books as

THE COMING OF
new PROSPERITY

When the new currency bill was
signed by President Wilson the ma
ton was provided with a:means that
should effectively prevent the per-
iodical occurrence of those times of
financial stringency or tightness
known as money p%anics''. Con-
corning the purpose of the new
currency bill, we quote from the
New York Herald az follows:
by bringing the thousands Of
scattered banks into one co.opera-
tive system with central super vision
it is sought to reduce the reserve
requirements and at the same time
make the banks infinitely stronger
in times of stress by making the
whole volume Of erv liquid
The new project is compared to
that of a city in which the water
is Kept in one reservoir whence it
SAh be ulIeCLeu u any necessary
point in case of fire, instead of each
household maintaining its individual
tank and in case Of alarm refusing
to aid its neighbors."
If the desired effect Of loosening
up money is realized and there is
good reason to believe that it will,
the mining industry and maufactur-
ing and other industries dependent
on its prosperity will soon be in a
lore Furnishing condition than has
existed for some time past. Money
will seek profitable fields for in
vestment, of which mining is one
of the most attractive. There are
hundreds of valuable mining prop
critics now lying dormant that will
become active profit earners once
money becomes available for their
development. With returning f.
nancial stability all industry will
be revived. thinning World.
