Taxing of Corporations.

"As far as the corporations are con-
cerned. the question is not one of in
creased taxation but rather of unfair
and unequal taxation. Some corporations
and some classes OF corporations are
being taxed out of all proportion to the
taxes levied against ether business en-
terprises. Among different classes of
public utility corporations some are te-
ing taxed to the amount of per cent.
or their net Income and some to the
extent OF Is per cent. Within the same
class OF corporations the present method
OF computing bank taxes or public util-
ity taxes. for example. results In very
unequal burdens.
"The purpose OF this committee has
been to study the most important and
urgent aspects of the taxation systen
OF New York State in a comprehensive
and scientific manner. 1t has utilized

The committee having the matter in

devote their time to talks that ought
to bring the people of our city closer
together and cement them into one
strong organization whose aim viii

through united effort-an idea de-
veloped here-a shop secured-a biz
project, irrigation for instance, ad-
vanced, through untiring work. So

Leavenworth people can work which
may result in big things. Come TO
the meeting and show your interest.
Everyone in this section is urged to

World: Plans for a new power plant
at Lake Chelan have reached the
point where definite plans are bein
made. An engineer will be on the
ground within a week to give technical
advice according to the Chelan
Leader. A group Of business m 4
have decided to put their shoulder 10

Some time ago Chelan business mn
and orchardists formed the Chel y
Irrigation and Power Company ar
filed on the waters of Domke an
Railroad Creek as we'll as Domk-
Lake for possible storage purposes
There is nearly 300 acres of tha
best land that lies out Of doors su,
rounding the towns of Chelan ana
Lakeside, all within three miles of le
city limits, and only few feet abo, >
the lake says the Leader. "The most
Of this land is well improved, and all
that human efforts and money wou q
do has been done to make it the ga
den spot of the world We have onls
half tried to get an adequate supp =
of water, and without that all the re It
of our efforts are in vain"
Chelan has been hoping that tt
Great Northern or the Chsan Elec.

develop and furnish adequate powe
cheaply, but this has not bee done.
Within a few days a committee wiz
wait upon every land owner and pow
