The Propone Cerporatlmi Tax.
The income Ui amendments and
Senators lily auvlCutuuiiiia which
were merged iuto oue talisted the
united support of the Democrats and
the iusurgeat Kepublicaus drove
Senator AUrich the Republican
k-ader in the Senate to cover.
The Corpora; iou tax was hatched
at a Whitd House conterence to dis
place and defeat the mcouie tax.
The corporation bill is defective
and lame iu bjch legs. It will help
every dishonest corporation and in
jure every houestly organized one.
Net earnings instead of net income
should have been made the basis of
taxation.
The New York World says:
Net earnings are easy to define,
and no premium would then be
placed upon crooked capitalization.
One of the grave defects of the bill
as drafted is that houest capitaliza
tion is penalized, while dishonestly
capitalized corporations can evade
all or most all of the tax.
The bill is radically defective too
in allowing extra-legal information
secured by Government examiners
to be made public by "'the special
direction of the President." Every,
thing that the law proposes to make
public should become public auto
inatically. Nothing that the law
does not expressly provide shall be
public should not ue made publ.c
except iu a court of justice. There
should be no business secrets between
the President of the I'ait-.d States
and great corporations, for tile Pres
ident to divula'j if he happens to
see lit. Ic is Lectssary that the ele
ment of persouil government re
entirely eiiuimat.-d from ths act.
The publicity provision is coirect
in theory and it ought to be made
correct in practice. Ii is far more
importaut that there be honest pub
licity as to the affairs of corpora
tions than that the Government
have the revenue which this bill
will raise. Such publicity is no
tinre an iucn-achaieut upou the
ri!jis of tii'. S;a.. a ttiuti is a census
lopoi!. The information will be
public property for the Slates no
less than the nation to use if neces
sary iu safeguarding the rights of
the people. In the end publicity is
likely to be more jotent for good
than any form of regulation that
could be devised. Truth in itsjlf
is a statute of tremendous authority."
An effort is being made in the
District of Columbia courts to set
aside the pure food laws. The pure
food law has resulted in great bene
fit to the consumer. It has com
pelled the practice of honesty in the
preparation foods. The law has
compelled the practice "f straight
dealing. It has taught the public
to have confidence in the purity of
food Muffs offered for sale. The
-Beef Trust can not use boric acii as
a preservative and other chemical
preservatives.
A diagonis of the American busi
ness man made by tn eminent nerve
specialist reveals him as suffering
faom "a neurosis partaking of the
character of neurasthenia, psychas
thenia and hysteria," the provoking
causes of which are "continuous
mental activity aud excessive use of
alcohol." ft. X . World.

Coi telyou. Cortelyou, the W hitet
LLm e sieuograpner, was piaceu a
the head of the bureau of corpora
tion!-', aud his poweis under the law
creating the bureau were very broad.
Moreover an appropriation of iol'u-
00'',00 was maue to enable the chief
of the bureau ao gather evidence
and compel the attendance of wit
nesses to the end that trie trutu
about trusts might be known- Of
this auiouut only one tweutieth, or
about $56, OOO.On, has been expend
ed. Aud Mr. Cortelvou. instead of
being at the post to which he was ap
pointed, is using the information
derived under the powers conferred
by bis otlice as a club on the trusts
to collect the republican campaign
fund.
Let us not forget Cortely u, hrst
the president's secretary, made trust
detective, then, after a vear's work,
removed from his position by the
president and, practically by presi
dential appointment, made collector
for the republican national commit
tee. J say by presidential appoint
ment, for Mr. Cortelyou was not
recognized as a politician; he was
not and had never been a member of
the national committee; he had no
standing as a Republican; but the
president knew him to be a hustler,
aud he knew that a year spent by
a bright young man, with an act of
congress back of him, digging into
the trusts need not be spent in vain.
Meanwhile, Col. Roosevelt s late sec-
rttary aud late corporation ferret s
