It exempts incomes below $5,000 and authorizes the deduction of that amount from every dutiable in- come. The rate provided for is as follo Upon incomes not exceeding $10,000, 2 per cent; not exceeding $20000, 2 per cent; not exceeding 340,000, 3 per cent; not ex- ceeding $60,000, 3% per cent; not exceeding $0,000, 4 per cent; not exceeding $100,000, 5 per cent; upon all incomes exceeding $100,- 000, 6 per cent. Mr. Cummins belleved that the gradu- ated tax #o providea for will produce a somewhat less revenue than a flat tax of 3 per cent. The duty Is to be levied upon individual incomes. He treats corporations as mere instrumentalities for individual profit and the chief reason for not Including corpora- tions is that to put a tax upon the incomes of corporations is to tax those who are stockholders of the corporations, but whose total ymes would not reach $5,000, pre- cisely as though they. had dutiable incomes. This would be the result with a flat rate, Lut Be points out that when the graduated tax is employed It )8 obvious that the in- dividual Income can Alone be considered, “otherwise,” he says, “the man with the swest dutiable income would, insofar as t 1a derived from a corporation, oftentimes sear the maximum rate levied upon the \ighest increase. Object of Income Tax, The chief object of a graduated income {ax law is to put the burden of government Upon those who are best able to bear It, 1d to do 30 it is necessary to put & higher ate upon the large incomes than upon small ones. There is no advantage of put- {ing n corporaie incomes, because under the law of 1804, as well as the Balley amend- went. the individual has the right to de- duct from his general Income amounts ve- colved as dividends from a corporation, it « corporation pays an income tax.” ‘Fhe amendment proposed by Mr. Cum- | mins further provides that all corpora tions shall make annual reports, showing theie gross and wet earnings and the mounts paid as Interest and dividends, and the persons to whom payments ace mude and wlsa the names of all officers or employes receiving 95000 per year or me In this way the undivided profits af & corporation ure ascertained and the | distributed share of each stockholder chavged as 4 part of his income, In presenting (he resolution to the sen- ate My Cummins sald that if any tax | Were Jevied on corporations it would be ex- Uiwinely difficult to classify the covpora- | tions Lo mect the requirements of the con- siiution. He declared that sraduated in- come tax on corporations would resuit in great eorporations paying the highest rate, | though their stock might be largely heid by men of small mcans. In that way the result might be to place the highest tax on men of small Incomes “Fuch @ vesull,” said Mr. Cummins, would not only be unjust. but it would destroy the essential principles that under. lica the income duty.” Queation of Validity, Mr. Commins said he recognized that his | amendment challenged the opinion of tl supremhe court of the United States on the taw of 158, in respect to the constitutional Pequirement regarding direct taxation, and Re belicved it would be impossible to frame an Incowe tax law that would not antag- poize that opinion. “If," he mdded, “that opinion is to stand in its full scope, then the United Btates must abandon for all tme, or until the constitution is amended, the exercise of power and authority which had been recognized for 100 years before the opinion was announced.” Mr. Cummins expresscd the opinion that the supreme court should again be invoked. That decision he sald resiricts the federal authority and we should not permit time to pass without again asking an exam- ination of this vital power of the govern- ment." He declared that such a restriction of tie power of taxation of the government would prove disastrous, in time of war. My amendment would not reach the incomes of the Americans resident abroad unless the tax was placed on the corporations Mr. ‘Raynor took the same view. Buppose,” he sald, “Carnegle, with an Income of 3500000 a year, derived from the Steel corporation, should be living abroad, there wou)d be no way to collect the tax If he had no other property in the United Btates to be attached.” “1 propose,” replied Mr. Cummins, “that the corporation shall pay that tax.

Street Car Men Vote to Strike at Pittsburg Company Refuses Demand of Em- ployes for Advance in Wages— Many Apply for Jobs. PITTSBURG, Pa., April 2.—By a vote of 2288 to 128, the employes of the Pitts- burg Street Rallway company have de- clded to strike unless the company at a conference which it is hoped may he held today nakes comcessions, which ‘so far have been refused. ‘The company's offer to renew the last year's scale was rejected last Friday night by & vote of 2,13 to 8. The company re- fused to grant the advance in wages de- manded by the men and meetings were called for last night to vote on a proposi- tion to strike. The various meetings lasted till 4 o'clock this morning and it was nearly noon before the vote was counted and the result ascertained. The men will under- take to hold a further conference with the company today and notify them of the determination of the men to strike. The company says it will not make any further concessions and that it will put on new men if the old men quit work. Thousands of applications for work have been recelved, it Is sald, and the company seems o anticipate no trouble in operating its cars in the event of a strike, which now seems almost certain. | Reaches Mombasa Steamer Admiral Has Been Sighted Off the East African Port.

CHARGE ACAINST RAILROADS Utah Shippers Allege Gross Discrim- ination on Part of Roads. zPACfl'IC COAST IS FAVORED Congrensm. Present Matter President and Alk‘ that it Be Reforred te ‘Wipkriment of Justice. to WASHINGTON, April 21.—President Taft today took up for Investigation and prom- fsed to act at once on a complaint filed with him alleging that the western railroads are discriminating against Salt Lake City, Ogden and other inter-mountain cities in the matter of frelght rates and violating the anti-trust laws. The charges were {made by Benators Smoot and Sutherland land Representative Howell, all of Utah. They asked that the matter be taken up by the Department of Justice rather than by the Interstate Commerce commission, The papers filed alleged that Mr. Harrl- |man shows no respect for any law but the fedcral. The papers set out that the Harriman lines are enormously profitable. The papers include a petition from com- mercial bodies in Utah saying the discrimi- nation has been carried on for many years and that the roads have steadily increased rates and eliminated competitfon. Higher it 1s charged, are being charged for frelght from Chicago-Missouri river points |ana trom Denver to the Utah territory than for the much longer haul to Pacific coast cities. These rates, says the petition, are without warrant of any competent court or commission and are solely “the despotic act of corporate greed and under the arbl- trary powers of concentrated wealth appar- ently holding itself above the law and ex- erclses against law-abiding communities relatively powerless to resist.” The roads specified are the Southern Pa- eific, the Unfon Pacific, the Oregon Shoit Line, the Oregon Railroad and Navigation compapy, the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake, the Denver & Rio Grande, the Missour!

Certain Lawyers Playing Subtle Trick at Court House Scheming by certaln atlorneys with the \lew to gelting suits entered upon par- ticular dockets roused the wrath of judges of the district court of Douglas county, and in particular of judges who are reflected upon by the lawyers' action. The method of these “pettifoggers,” chief of whom, & judge says. is one lawyer who poses as a moral crusader and political re- former, is simple. By peeping at the daily record in the district clerk’'s cffice In which all papers are entered and thea glancing at the general appearance docket, it is easy to determine on the docket of which judge the last suit filed has been entered. Suits are entered upon the sev- eral judges’ dockets one after another, so that it is easy to learn where the next sult Is to go. If an attorney wishes to avold the judge whose docket is next in turn all he has to do Is to hang around the district clerk's office untll some other sult has been filed, which wil!, %0 upon the docket in question. Tiis has not been so much the case, however, as endeavoring to get upon the docket of a judge beleved (o favor the particular sort of suit involved.

Midland, | Patten Takes Look at Wheat Outlook in Tour of Belt Bull Leader, Accompanied by Expert, Slips Away to Inspect Condi- tions in Person. CHICAGO, April 2L—James A. Patten, bull leader in wheat, left here today to inspect personally the crop outlook, par- ticularly as it bears on the amount of wheat which may be dellvered to him on July contracts. Mr. Patten's departure was discovered by the majority of his as- sociates only after it had been an ac- complished fact. He is accompanied by an expert and it is believed will inspect the winter wheat crop in Illinois and adjacent states, among them Missourl, where reports are conflicting. The most recent tidings from that commonwealth were bearish, Whether this neighboring state will be able to dellver new crop wheat in July is a matter of the greatest importance to traders, as the bulls have operated on the theory that this wheat will not be availa- ble for delivery here; the bears, of course, to the contrary. The bull leader's destination was care- fully kept secret by those supposed to i know. The trip will afford him consider- able relief from the tremendous strain un- der which he has been laboring for some months. The market was featureless early in the session today. July reluctantly rose a cent, but May seemed content with the position given it yesterday. | Taft to Assist in Forest Policy President in Sympathy with Con- servation Program, Says Gif- ford Pinchot.

I s the finance committee at DUTY ON HIDES CONCEDED Senator Aldrich Will Make This Agreement with Western Men. COMPROMISE ALSO ON PUMICE Senators Secure Promise This Article Will Be Attended To—Oleo- margarine Case Taken in Hand. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, April 2I.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Hides from the free list to 1§ per cent, ad valorem s the result of the in- surgent movement for better equalization of tarlff schedules as between the east and west. Senator 'Burkett held a last night with Senator Aldrich, chairman of the finance committee, which framed the Aldrich bill, and told the senior senator from Rhode Island In so many words that the representatives from the central Mis- sissippi valley would fight the bil until Labor day, if necessary, unless conces slons were glven the west. A duty on hides was one of the conces- sions demanded and Senator Aldrich an- nounced to Mr. Burkett that the finance committee would report an amendment at the proper time changing hides from the free list to existing rates, namely, 15 per cent advalorem. Senator Aldrich went further than the hide schedule and told Senator Burkett that barbed wire and nall schedules would be made satisfactory to western senators, who have been pounding every turn to reduce the duty on barbed wire and nalls because of the demands of farmers. These concessions, It Is belleved, are but the beginning of other concessions which the so-called Insurgents are demanding and by the time the bill goes to conference it 18 predicted Senator Aldrich will yield prac- tically all the demands made upon him.

The committee is Insisting that the first army troops be sent to the prov- inces and that the Constantinople garrison and the city gendarmes be placed under thelr orders. CONBTANTINOPLE, April 21, 12: p. m. —~The advance guard of the constitutional army has arrived at the outskirts of the city. The cabinet will meet this after- noon and proclalm martial law at capital. The administering of the oath to the troops still in garrison ls proceeding today in accordance with the demands of the constitutionaliets. Furthermore, the suthors of the recent upheaval are bing sought out and arrested. ’ A cabinet meeting was held this morning to consider the proposals made by the army of Investment. In some quarters it Is belleved there Is an increasing possibility of arriving at an understanding which may result in a recon- clliation “etween the young Turks and the sultan. It wi even declared in official circles this morning that the pourpariers between the government ‘and’ the constl- tutlon army promise a settiement. i It is alleged that the army ro longer in- sists on the withdrawal of the present ministry and the reinstallation of the Hilmi cabinet, but it doss maintain its de- mand for the punishment of the authors of the recent trouble. Advance Guards at Gates. The lines of the constitutional army are drawing closer and closer around the Tur- kish capital today and the advance guard of the Macedonians is practically at the gates of the city. The actual advance into the city, however, has not yet begun, Negotlations for a peaceful settlement are proceeding with high hopes of success, and there are increasing evidences that there will be no encounter between the army of investment and the first army corps within Constantinople. Everything I8 quiet at the Yldis palace. The sultan is outwardly calm and is await- ing developments. The first army corps, which garrisons Constantinople, has been completely won over to the constitutionalists. Various units of this corps are today taking oath to obey their superiors, not to mix in politics and not to interfere with the measures adopted to secure the punishment of those guilty of starting the revolt of last week. Clvilians and some of the forelgners to- day express fear that at the last moment there may be reslstance or that some of the soldiery will get out of hands, and as | & result, a general exodus has begun. The immediate nelghborhood of Yildiz Kiosk is deserted. This apprehension I8 added to by the fact that the sultan has made no statement as to his intentions, It is realized that & majority of the garrison s more than favorably disposed towards the Macedonlans, but, neverthe- less, there may be a repetition of the ex- cesses of last week on the part of in- dividual soldlers. The men gulity of dis- orders of a week ago deserting and are making their way by rail and on foot into Asia Minor. Warships Face Palace, A notable development in the overnight situation was evidenced by the anchoring today of a number of Turkish warships In front of Yildiz Kiosk on the Bosphorus. The vessels that have taken up this sig- nificant position are the battleships Memsu- dleh, Assar-I-Tewfik, Hamidleh $in-T-Chevket and the torpedo crul boland. The new minister of marine who took of- fice yesterday is General Imman. He was transferred from & command (n Asla Minor. One of his first acts was to change the commanders and parts of the crews of the vessels now anchored off the sultan’s palace. As the Turkish fleot has been a doubtful element in the situation because the officers and crews have been 'largely devoted to the sultan, It Is presumed these changes are In the Interest of the commit- tee of union and progress. Two cruisers and twelve torpedo boals are still in the Golden Horn. The orlental cxpress came in from Paris and Vienna today sixteen hours late, layed by trains bearing munitions of w to the army of investment.
