CORPORATION TAX AND PUBLIC, k Xaturally there Is much desire to y" Taft's proposed oorporatlon-lneome tag hag made in public favor since he . Premuuratea It in a SDeclal monad re twelve days ago to-day. The views 4,.amlH i .-,. 1 . . ......... i. i fc i " " l.n ujiciij 1 OBtMlllIl UUS1- i' nM and financial sentiment possess .. especial Interest. Let us see, first, ii What auch Journals have to say. The New York Commercial and The r'i Commercial and Financial Chronicle take strong ground against the tax. im uuiuis on meir pan migni nave been confidently predicted. The fle . elsive objection with them is precisely what more than anything else com mended the measure to Mr. Taft. "Roosevelt doctrine all over again," . protests The Commercial and Finan cial Chronicle indignantly, "but It sur passes any scheme of Federal control or supervision that has yet been serl '" ously suggested. Just think of mak- ing puoiic Knowledge or tne real rusi titss transactions and the gains and profits of every corporation In the country.' If any business men con (,uctlng their affairs as a corporation " still Imagine that the proposed law would not effect them, the language quoted must serve to disabuse their minds. The Inevitable effect of such a law would be that every one en- gaged In business- would constantly have a pack of government officials at his heels: the government would all " the time be prying into his affairs. - 'examining his books and accounts to make sure that no portion of the tax got away from it, and the knowledge gained would be made public prop ' ' erty." . 1 Much less nearly a foregone con ''; elusion was the attitude of The New York Journal of Commerce, which Is V accustomed to look at business and financial questions from a rather broad standpoint. The Journal of Commerce Is as much opposed to the - tax as the other two are. It has no quarrel with "Rooseveltlsm," meaning - 4. Federal supervision of large inter . state corporations, but It does con- . ' alder this tax objectionably inqulsl- ! torial. President Taft, It thinks, did not realize all that his own words lm- Hed. We quote at some length; "The plan Is ,. said to be to require sworn returns to 'specially named agents of the bureau of internal revenue' in ac cordance with a presort bed form. Experi V ence tells the sad story that the require- ment of sworn statements does not make men honest or truthful, and the govern '"' ment In its customs service acts practlcal ' ly opon the assumption that such state ments are of little value. Where U is a question of evading taxation we know auw lime reliance is to oe placed upon : sucn unvennea statements, unverified ex cept as to the oath. The requirement puts .;'.. a premium upon false swearing and taxes ' fully the honest and conscientious, while -. the unscrupulous practically determine their own burden. To verify statements .. ey an examination or accounts would re , - quire a horde of Inspectors, mostly 111 - paM political parasites of Indifferent hoa- . esty. To perjury corruption would be - added. An Inspection of books and ac counts "in the perfunctory way likely to ..' " prevail would not ascertain the truth, and ;'. returns for this tax would Involve every conceivable degree of evasion and In equality, and the cost of collection would be a large percentage of the net revenue. , HAn -objection thai must come home to V multitudes engaged in business as lncor- i po rated companies is the Intolerable nuls . ance ut an examination of books and In spection of accounts. Large corporations ' engaged in transportation or' In large swale production as manufacturers, with . . many scattered stockholders and control II I few hands, may willingly publish ' : statements of their gross earnings, their various expenses, their bonded and float ' lng Indebtedness, their profits and losses - . for the year, and their net income sub . .. Ject to the tax. It will not particularly concern or materially affect Individual shareholders or the business of the con ' ; cern. But the thousands of small cor- ' porations in competition with each other -r '. end with individuals and firms In various ' ' lines of business will have good reason for objecting to this inquisition, and we maf be sure that when they realise what ' It means to have their affairs exposed : V to , rivals by dishonest government offl- els la their protests will be many and ', loud." 'Elsewhere The Journal of Com mere Objects, further, that the Presi ' . dent's proposed exemption of national y banks would work injustice to State ' .banks, 'already forbidden to issue notes under a, purposely prohibitory tax of ten per cent. A way around ,. thla injustice is said to have been JToond Jby Including national banks but ?r editing- them with the tax on their . giote circulation as an offset or part f tha tax n their net income, it fa.Yeally no way at all. "There is fproflt 'la. circulation even with the fax," truljr says The Journal of Com nsrce, "and there would be more if the tax should be practically remitted ty betas made part of another im : posed pea etata and national banks alike, , ana It would tend : further to promote the conversion of State Jnto national banks or to force them out of existence. It would also Increase the Incentive for' Issuing circulation by the national Institutions, wnkrh is too great now, considering the lack, of effective means of reducing the volume of notes, Jt would affect na tional banks themselves unequally. for the volume of outstanding aotes bears no fixed relation to net earnings. With some they bear a much smaller proportion to banking profits than with others." These contentions on the bank aspect of the subject appear to us Incontrovertible. President Taft and his advlBers have here a problem far from solved. We do not see how they can avoid injustice with out either levying the Income tax on national and State banks alike or else exempting both altogether. Foremost among organs of the fi nancial world which defend the tax is The Wall Street Journal. This high-class newspaper admits that the measure has faults, but in its opinion much of the protest "Is rooted in rottenness rather than righteousness." It apparently regards the publicity feature as an unmixed benefit. "Fore most of all amgng corporate Interests which have aught to fear from the tax on net earnings proposed by the Federal government," It declares, "are those who shake In their shoes at the thought of the kind of publicity which turns the light upon inside graft. In side graft Is to-day the thing that Is doing probably as much as anything else to bring Injury to honest invest ment and ruin to corporate morals." Most of the distinctively business and financial Journals favor a stamp tax rather than a corporation tax In order to tide over the Treasury's present and prospective difficulties. Joining them in this are newspapers as wide apart from each other as The New York Sun and The New York Tribune the latter a Republi can "progressive." The Sun wants the features of its pet detestation, the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, placed upon the stamps as a reminder of his al leged work In making them necessary. Among the press of the country at large, especially the Democratic press, opinion Is In many oases affected by a belief that Senator Aldrtch accepts the corporation Income tax measure solely as the means of accomplishing two ends: First, of defeating the Individual-Income tax measure which threatened to pass at this session without any long wait for the con stitutional amendment asked for by Mr. Taft In his oorporation-lncome tax message; second, of throwing an unavoidable sop to the President and the public while he puts , through his Indefensible tariff programme and its many exaltations of prohibitory pro tection above revenue. T"ils belief we share. But It does not follow that Mr. Taft has been buncoed. Senator Aid rich's position was very strong, and doubtless the President made as good a bargain as he could under the circumstances. We thought well of his course when he transmitted the special message; we think well of it to-day. SOMITTHIXG 'KV 1T WEDDIXGS. A Wisconsin couple on the eve of their marriage the other day made an announcement of a novel departure from the ordinary procedure on such occasions. They let it be known that no invitations to the wedding would be sent out and no presents would be expected, but that an admission fee would be collected at the church door from all who wished to witness the ceremony. J his was done, as stated In the announcement, for the purpose of raising a fund upon which the cou ple might begin their married life. So, Instead of getting a lot of useless presents, they received a nice little sum In cash, and with It they were able to purchase such articles as they needed. Of course this was horrible disgusting, etc., but there was a good deal of common sense in it. Did you ever look over a bride's display of wedding presents without being struck with the number of useless things there were In the lot and thinking of how much money had been wasted by friends In the purchase of gifts for which there would never be any use? Besides, this Wisconsin girl will be saved the trouble of taking rare of a lot of extra pickle forks. butter knives, glass bowls, oyster forks, Jel ly spoons, ladles and the like. xne Jjanvine Keglster does not agree with The Observer that in all probability the prospects for the en actment of a tax upon individual In comes by this extra session of Con gress have gone glimmering. Our Danville contemporary then discusses the proposed constitutional amend ment and declares that it has "much more faith in the adoption of such an amendment by the people than of passage by two-thirds of each house of Congress for two successive ses sions." Here we quite agre. A meas ure may be almost undeniably right and public sentiment may favor it. but what U to be done If the other j crowxi has the votes or you haven't votes enough? Subjected to the dou ble test of right and public sentiment. Senator Aldrich's tariff measure would melt away like ice before the sun. We are favorably impressed by So licitor clarkson's published suggestion that the Legislature give Superiof Court judges power to commit to the asylum for the criminal insane for a period of two to ten years all per sons charged with homicide and de clared not guilty by a jury on the "in sanity plea." It would, have a whole some, tendency, beyond question. The Southern Senators did a good day's work yesterday, when they got cotton bagging placed on the free list. They wfll work hard, and, we trust. with success, to keep it there. PAPER moM COTTS STAIJUC ,Jl. seema that .success la about to crowo the oft-repeated,' but heretofore unsuccessful efforts to taanufaoture paper from cotton stalks.' A we not ed some time ao, there has been dis covered in Georgia, s, process whereby, ft Is claimed, the difficulties which other experimenters found insur moUntable are overcome. The first mill will be located at Oordeh. Ga. and will be completed by October Its initial capacity will be 25 tons of commercial wrapping paper per day. Later on the capacity will be greatly increased and higher grades of paper made. The company Is headed by W II. Crole, a paper manufacturer of flf teen years' experience, who has de voted the last six years to perfecting his -nrocess for the manufacture of paper from cotton stalks. If this company makes the success of Its venture which it anticipates it will revolutionize newspaper manufac ture and will be a godsend to the South, where there is an Inexhaust ible supply of the raw material a supply unending becausaof Its annaa renewal; and when the manufacture becomes general it will add an esti mated Increase of fifty million dollars to the value of the Southern cotton crop. A product of the farms which now not only brings the planters no return but Is an expense in the mat ter of clearing off the land, will then be a source of revenue. We hope that the owners of this new process will not allow themselves to be taken in by the paper trust, but will maintain their independence. Even should they go Into the combination the South wil still toe the gainer. The murderer of Mrs. Edith Wood- ill on the cast shore of Maryland was a magazine writer. Thornton J. Halns, co-murderer of Wm. E. Annls Is a magazine, writer. Broughton Brandenburtr. forger of a Cleveland article during the last presidential camnaiini. Is a maKaztne writer. At this rate It will soon be suggested that all magazine writers be placed under bond to keep the peace. By applying air defle-ctors at the rear and along the guards Mr. W R. Cooper, a British Investigator, pro duces comparatively dustless automo biles. The production of fool-less au tomobiles, however, is unfortunately In the dim distance. It is seldom that not a rumor gets afloat about the contemplated reslg nation of Rome memher of the Cabi net- hut Secretary Wilson Is the last one of them on whom It ought to be oturtori if Its orlirlnator expects the public to give It any credence. Slightly warm In Charlotte? Well rather. But Just think of the thou sands who are driven to sleep on the sands at Coney Island, not to mention the wretched inhabitants of Washing ton, Richmond, Norfolk. Charleston Montgomery and Houston. THE BIGGKIIS CASK VKRDICT. It Wm an Outrace. Upon Justice and t Bound to Kxert a nentorall.tntf Influence, To the Kditor of The Observer: Permit me to congratulate you on your very expressive and correct edi torial in to-day s issue or your papei It is tust what I expected strong nlnan and true, and It voices the sentiment of all who really and rever entlv resucct the law. The acquittal yesterday of William S. BlKKerS, murderer, on such an ab surd defense as was pled In his de fense Is Indeed a humiliating calam ity to law-abiding men and women. It is a victory for the vicious and bloody-minded element and will Jus tifv them in holding In contempt more than ever our so-called courts of justice. The trial or wnimm k. nig gers, murderer. Is a striking ana startling illustration of the power of a trained master mind and dominant spirit over untrained and puny minds and subservient spirits. One master ful lawyer anil twelve servile Jury men. There was no farce about the trial, as I have heard it said; it was the subtle will of the great master mind of the one lawyer forcing the twelve men, weak, Imbecile minds, to perjure themselves and prostitute Justice. Result. The assassin free, fame won by the lawyer at the ex pense of his country and the Igno miny of the Jury. JNO. S. WALTERS. 'HOW BIG WAS ALEXANDER ?" A Song Wlcreof Most Is Missing and Very Much Desired. To the Editor- of The Observer; As a loyal reader I try to be Inter ested In your poetic and near-poetic department. But I feel that if I fail It Is not my fault. I keep on trying. Lately I've been trying to teach my children a little piece of real poetry that appeared In some of the school readers when I was a boy. It begins "How big was Alexander. Po. That people c"11 him great?" I recall some parts of it, but not all. Pleaee turn your near-poet edi tor's mind backward 35 years and ask him to reproduce it in your columns. If he cannot find It in your library, I trust some reader of your paper will from memory. T. T. UICKS, HendersonviUe, N. C, June 23. Taft Helped Too Much. Roxboro Courier. The President did not undertake to force his Ideaa on Congress until the Senate leaders appealed to him for assistance to head ore the income tax, but when they asked his help he gave It in sucta form that they now find themselves compelled to provide a system of excise which to the majori ty of them is only in degree less re pugnant han the income tax. This situation constitutes a material vic tory for the President and a serious blow to that autocracy m-bich Senator Aldrich and a few chosen colleagues have long: exercised in the Senate.

Folr of the twelve jurors who listened to the testimony at the re opened inquest refused to sign the verdict until the worjs "or accetsory to the crime" were adtjed to the draft which, approved by the majority. Muntly accussed Eastman or tin murder. None of the four dissenting jurymen would say that any other person that Eastman was responsible for the girl's death. They merely wished to protest, they said, against the mannfr In whicb the inquiry was conducted, declaring that much avall- uie cviuence was not aaauc.Ru. The jury sat for a time to-day In the lonely bungalavv Itself, within Hght of Eastman's unmarked grave, not fifty feet away. Mrs. Eastma'i had visited the place earlier In the day and had stood dry-eyed for a tiTie beside the new-made mound Some one with ill-judged humor had planted a tomato vine on the grave Mrs. Eastman, thinking the vine ;t l ative flower, asked what it was.

Washington Herald. The murder of a youn white srirl in one of New York's bv wavs is nnlv on Incident in the yearly criminal cal endar, but It is tlt over.tollrio. tha use to say that It has shocked the na tion, not so much be-ause of the evi dent brutality of tie crime as from the fact that the murderer was a Chinaman who had won the ennfl- dence of his victim through his profes sion zeal foretaoinetaolnetaolnetaoln sed leal for Christianity. i nere is a lesson to be learned from that all would do well to hei That lesson Is that, though we boast of the knowledge we have acquired of ne. natives or the Celestial Emnlre we know. In reality, verv little nivn,,i hem. We do know, however that these strange beings from the Orient possess a singular fascination for cer- aln white women. A visit to the so. called Chinatowns of such cities as San franisco. Boston and New York finds many Chinese who have taken wnite women for wives. Ordinarily. It Js impossible for anv except the educated Chinese to yet nto social contact with vountr women of good families, but this opportunltv omes to tne tow-class Chinese in the missionary settlements and ftundav scnoois. wnere young r r are nfton ndueed to act as teachers of Chris lanitv. It Is a fatal mistake. Satues of Stonewall Jackson. Richmond News Leader. Discussing the movement for the erction of a monument to Stonewall Jackson "by the southern people, but mainly by the Virginia people," The narioiiesviiie Progress say: "There s a marble effigy of htm (JackscTfcl upon a small pedestal In the capital square in Richmond.'.' The Jackson statue In the capital square In Rich mond, by Tcley. the English sculptor, is not In marble, but In bronbe, and its unveiling was the occasion of one of the most Imposing demonstrations incident to such events ever witnessed In Richmond. There is also- a llfe slie, If not heroic bronze, of Jack son over his grave at Lexington, the work of Valentine. This, too, was un veiled with most impressive ceremo nies, military and other. Cotton Growing Easily Overdone. Statesvllle Landmark. ' ' Figuring on the cotton grown in different counties In North Carolina. The Charlotte Chronicle estimates that the output could be easily doub led. Maybe so, but let US hope that it will not be. even If' the.-prtce goes to 15 cents the pound.. 'Cotton is all right as a money crop, but titt all-cot ton farming' tyetem me&aa poverty and debt. The Landmark is gratified and. of course. The Chronicle Is, too that the State ' dee net are up to Its opportunities lr cotton grow ing, so long as it -means, as we be lieve it does, more corn,-grain, truck, grass, cattle, etc. The Charlotte -Observer, discussing the question as to. whether courage or cowardice predominate la the act of suicide, says; "Suicide ha bees committed from motives of courage and from motives of cowardice; from the most selfish motives' and from the most .unselfish motives. It all , depends.".- We are sorry The Observer, a paper so widely influential, would thus give the least countenance to. the most brutally selfish and cowardly act that can be committed.'-Except the dethronement of rMOn not the shred of an excuse can be offered In justifi cation of self-murder. The killing of another may call for courage.' but to commit the outrage upon one's self involves not a stogie element of dan ger. It is always and everywhere the act n f a ,nvn tmmwA anrl rf.aarvAi as it receives, the opprobrium of all men. Senator Simmons' Record. Kenansville News. If Senator Simmons was a good enough Democrat to lead the party to victory In four campaigns, why it it now that he is called a Republican and sins-led out among all the other Democrats as a traitor to his party principles? We answer his enemies by saying that there is a horse tied out in the bushes for Simmons' shoes, but the people of North Carolina have long memories and they are Intelli gent enough to know thai, Mr. Sim mons has never fooled or misled them and that he drove from the State the carpet-baggers and disfranchised the negroes while other men wanting high places In '92-'94 and '96 were for fusion with Marion Butler. Should Give Names. Monroe Enquirer. At the Teachera' Assembly, held last week in Morehead City, lrof. C L. Coon Jumped on a college in this State tor saying in its catalogue that a home school is no place for a boy over 11 years old, but Professor Coon did not say what school sent out such a statement. The Greens boro Record says and that rightly that Prof. Coon should nave called names. A public speaker or an editor has no business jumping on to some "party" some "cltisen." without call- ng names. If the thing Is worth men tioning it is the manly thing to come out in the open and tell who you are talking about. American Men Careless About Their Daughters. Grcerusboro Telegram. The killing In New York of a young girl by a Chinaman suggests to one newspaper the criticism that Ameri can men as a rule are too Indifferent as to what becomes of their daugh ters. The crlticibm Ih well founded. American men know more about the lures and snares of the worldly life than American women know.
