Riggs to- day announced himself to be a candidate for renomination to the office he has filled for several years. He has been strongly urged by a great many of the educators of the state to make the race, but has been reluctant to do so, and probably would not have done so but for the fact that none of | the candidates announced have planted | themselves definitely on a platform of fol- lowing up the work which has been under- taken by the State Teaohers' assoclation in recent year A Woman is Bura The favorite pastime of an aged woman resulted in her death when Mrs. Frances Work, aged 102, was burned to death at tho home of her mon.

JOHNSON CALLS TAX AN INCOME Philadelphia Attorney in Attacking Law Says it Alms to “Embalm’ the Returns as a Pub- e Record. WASHINGTON, March 18.—The last word by the lawyers was sald this afternoon on the constitutionality of the corporation tax provisions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and the supreme court of the United States then took the fifteen cases in which :the question under consideration arose. The second day of the argument on the tax was consumed largely by the presgntar tlon of 'the government's defense of the law by Sollcitor General Bowers, William D, Guthrie of New York leéd a flank movement with the object of proour- ing a decisjon from the court holding that the tax is not to be collected on income from nitlonal, state and municipal bonds and property of corporations not actively employed in business. To John G. Johnson of Philadelphia fell the task of closing the attack on the tax, Just before the court adjourned. One of the biggest side fights In addition to the great contest over the constitution- ality of the tax was lald bare when Mr. Bowers insisted to the court that “the net income from all sources’” mentioned in the law as the basis of measuring the tax in- cluded all the property of a corporation, Insurance Attorneys Present. Willlam B, Guthrie and his assoclates, Victor Marawetz and Howard Van Sin- deren, counsel for the Home Life Insur- nee company, Were present to insist that the law did not mean to {nclude the in- come derived directly from United States, state or municipal securities or from real or personal property not used or empolyed in business. They advanced this on the theory that if the tax was not levied on such property the law would become clearly constitutional Mr, Bowers argued that coprorations cannot hold property that was not devoted to the corporate business, etiher actively or passively. He cited the decision of the supreme court holding that the United States could levy an internal revenue tax on a Southe Carolina concern as showing that the United States may tax public utility service corporations. In closing the selicitor sald the pub- leity feature of the law was not raised in the cases, which Inyolved only private indlviduals as parties to them, Mr. Guthrie as counsel for the Home Life Insurance company followed Bowers by arguing that federal, state and municipal bonds and property not actively engaged in business are not subject to the tax. Healso spoke fo rthe consti- tutfonality o fthe law as applied purely to corporations property actively used in business. In beginning his argument Mr. Johnson sald that argument of the solicitor gen- eral was one he would have been glad to listen to had it not been on side. An to Mr. Gutfirle, Mr. Johnson sald, he was a “wolt In sheep's clothing” whom he did not want on his side. What made the law o obnoxlous, as Johnsen explained, was the publicity feature, whereby it was proposedto “embalm” the returns & sa public record. However, he added, the “act must be cut off a litte higher up Tax an Income. His prineipal argument was to prove that the tax was an income and therefore not an exeise tax according to the famous in- come tax decisions. The wines given to Mark Twain to drink on the Rhine did not satisfy his palate eny the more, the coun- sel explained, because they changed the label on the bottle from which it was poured. “Children in making plctures of cows and horses,” sald Mr. Johnson, “have a habit of writing below them ‘cow’ and ‘horse’ so you will know what they were drawing. B0 congress, for fear if you were left to your own judgment would not declde that it was an excise tax, they labelled it.” Mr. Johnson urged that the tax was on the power of a state to ‘“create’ fran- chises, elaiming that states ‘‘create’ them instead of “authorizing’” them as argued by Mr. Bowers. “If this law is upheld, he elaimed, and a federa! incorporation law is passed and I moved to 411 West Broadway, Offices with George Gerner, feveler. don't know to what extent the fads now runaing wild will beecome law,” he sald by ay of emphasis—'‘the federal government may see fit to tax state corporations out of existonce.” JURY WILL GET MABRAY TODAY (Continued from First Page.) pened, but that smile faded wi mass of evidence concerning the use of the mails began to pour in; when the let- ters, records and mementoes of the mikes were introduced.
