HOUSE PAH8ICH BILL TO .
HI BMIT INCOME TAX.
Proposed Corporation Tax IUduccd to
One Per Cent at Conference
With l-renkti'iit Taft
WASHINGTON, July 12. By the
decisive vote o( 317 to 14, the House
today passed the benate Joint resolu
tion providing tor the submission of
an Income tax constitutional amend
ment to the states. The negative
rotea were, all cast by Republicans.
The. resolution nows Koea to the presi
dent for his signature.
The debate lasted four hours.
Chairman Payne, of the committee
on ways and means, -voiced the sen
timent that such a tax would make a
"nation of , liars." The burden of the
democratic speeches was that it was
simply a case of stealing domocratli
thunder, although some of the re
marks on that aide Incidentally touch
ed upon tariff and the corporation tax
with no little amount of castlgatlon
of the republicans for falling to keep
party pledges.
"We welcome the conversion of the
republican party to another demo
cratic principle," was the commeul
of Clark, of Missouri, tho minority
leader, Who got rousing applaiie
from bis side of the chamber for IiIf
utterance. An Income tax, he main
tained, was a democratic principle.
"One by one the roses fall," he
aald,: addressing the republican sido,
"and one by one you adontour plat
form." . 7- V.
James, of Kentucky, quoted from
an ante-election speech, In which Mr.
Taft favored a graduated Income tax
and expressed the view that perhaps
a change In the personnel of the
United Btates Supreme Court might
effect a reversal of its former opinion
holding fhe Income tax unconatltu
Clonal.
Tukca Taft to Task.
"You denounced Ilryun for that,'
he exclaimed, facing the republlrau
side. "You said he was assailing th
honor and Integrity of the Bupreini
Court, yet tbo man you elevated to
the loftiest station in the nation vlr
utally repeated the very same word
that for twelve years the domocratli
party In every platform had uttered.'
In a fiery speech In support ol
an Income tax, Robinson of Arkansnt
arraigned the republicans for, as hi
charged, "fooling the people" bofori
the last presidential election. He do
fended William Jennings Bryan, de
daring that he stood head unci
shoulders above any other man lu prl
vate life.
Corporation Tax' Onr-Ilulf.
At a conference at tho White
House today It was decided that tin
rate of the now corporation tax shall
be reducod from 2 per cent to 1 pel
cent and that In redrafting tho menu
ure now in conference as a provision
of the tariff bill, consideration shall
be given the demand of the mutual
life Insurance companies. .
Concession to Mutuals.
As to tfie mutual Insurance com
panies, it is aald that the redrafted
bill will provide what portion of the
income may be deducted before the
tax on funds available for dividend
la assessed. It will be so arranged
that the tax shall tall upon the profits
of stockholders. Allowances will be
made for annuities and other long
term outstanding contracts.

LINCOLN. Neb., July 12. Mr.
Bryan has made public tho following
statement on the Income-tax amend
ment: "The Democratic platform of 1908
contained an income-tax plank.
"Mr. Ilryun Indorsed this plank
and urgrd the necessity of a consti
tutional amendment. President

ed that an amendment wus not nec

"Democratic governors In states

HOW TARIFF M'NX
(1AMK IS I'LWKII.
WASHINGTON. July 12. After
yeara of demaxoguery, sophistry and
buaromb on the subject of tariff. It
has remained for Klluh Root, Junior
senator from New York, to state in
public debate the actual facta regard
ing the methods of the Republican
party In framing a tariff bill. Said
Mr. Root, speaking in support of the
corporation tax:
"Wa have been here for over three
montils considering and discussing
and voting upon the measuro of pro
tection that it Is neressary to give
to keep alive and prosperous the
business of tens and hundreds of
thousands of corporations engaged In
manufacture and trade affected by
the protective tariff. What do we
know about these corporations? Up-1
i.on hmd.. bkV kimisd and
partial itatiusfiU upon tho other
equally garbled and partial state
ments, And no means of distinguish
ing the truth. We are under the
necessity of proceeding by guess
work, by conjecture, always with dis
satisfaction because wo recognize the
chance that we may have guessed
wrong about whose statements come
nearest to the truth. 1 should like
to see In the office of Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, the next time a
tariff bill comes before Congress,
statements, under oath, and tested
year by year, about the business of
all this vast multitude of corpora
tions that come appealing to us for
help, so that we shall not again he
compelled to come to the conclusion
that all the business of the United
States is on the brink of failure."
Never before was there a franker
statement of the methods by which
tariff bills are framed than that made
by the senator from New York. Sen
ators and Representatives, a large
majority of whom are lawyers, have
accepted almoBt without question the
ex parte statements of Interested per
sons and companies and have fixed
tariff rateB In accordance with their
representations and demands. The
current tariff revision is by no means
the revision downward Implied by the
Republican platform and specifically
promised by the Republican presi
dential candidate. But present indi
cations all point to the inclusion in
the tariff bill of certuln provisions
which will preclude in the'future the
hit or miss methods of the past and
render it imixjssible for senators and
representatives extravaguntly to Bwell
the profits of their manufacturing
constituents at the expense of the
consumer without detection.

KuKfiio RuHrd: Indications point
that a combined association of b;g
gar has worked Eugene this spring
as tho town has never been worked
before. Tho circumstances that hov;
canned this condition are the Seattle
fair and tho prosperity of Oregon that
ha.s drawn the best beggurt) of the
country to the Northwest.
How many dLmes did you give to
the blind man that stood for a week
at the corner of Eighth und Willam
ette Btreeta? How many nickels to
the half dozen incurnhle crlppleu that
have But along the Htreeta and sold
pencils, shoe strings, or asked for
outright gifts? Nearly a dozen bee
:nrs have been In Eugene since Feb
ruary, each staying a week or ton
days.
Ileggarlsm is a business just like
nhlJtlng shoes or running a bank. The
last professional to be here, the one
who stood at the corner each day,
had an attendant who took him to the
corner, where he stood for six or
eight hours. The attendant was well
dressed, and so far as discovered did
nothing but manage the blind man.
They both took tho train together.
While there is really no associa
tion of beggars in a formal wrfy, in
cities there are gangs that pre-empt
certain districts and drive nil but
members of their own gang away.
From the regularity that beggars ap-
pear in Eugene some such method
seems to exist In the goings and com
IngK of beggardom here.
Christmas time Is the period when
tho beggar waxeth wealthy, though
some are said by the authorities to
average $r a day the year around.
Then it is that tho people think or
others, nnd frequently give gold to
the man on the street where they
usually grudgingly bestow nickels.

Charged with a etatutory offense,
Floyd Harris, aod 19 years, la in
the county Jail In Hosrhurg await
ing the arrival of an otlleer from
Boise, Iduho, to take him back to
that city, from which place he fled
last December. Harrln was brought
to this city Monday evening by Sheriff
Fenton following his arrest by Dep
uty Sheriff Beck ley of Oakluiid. Harris
was working at the time with a
bridge crew, throe miles east of that
town. Nearby ts situated the home
of his parents, who moved to this
county from Idaho a few mouths be
fore the arrival of their son.
Harris will not resist extradition.
He is loath to admit the truth of the
charge against him, but his father
appears anything but doubtful of bis
guilt. Before Sheriff Kenton deft
for Itoseburg with his prisoner, the
elder Harris said to his koii:
"That girl was after you and no
body else. She 1h just as good as you,
and I want you to do the square thing
by her by marrying her."
Young Harris dlnplnyfl no Inten

WASHINGTON, July 12. Presi
dent Taft and the lawyers of his
cabinet have undertaken to save the:
tariff conferees from haggling over
the corporation tax amendment. It
Is conceded that the measure as
passed by the senate must be re
drafted in order to remove constitu
tional objections and to meet the
views of the administration. The
president told the leaders of the
senate and house that as the admin
istration will be charged with the
responsibility of collecting the tax
and defending the act, it asasiled In
the courts, the administration should
be permitted to perfect the measure.
If tho corporation tax is changed
the alterations will probably he con
fined to the rate of the tax imposed
on net earnings, which may be cut in
half. The president was Impressed
by the arguments of the states that
they should not be disturbed in their
use of the inheritance tax as a means
of raising revenues, although his be
lief in the principle has not abated.
Jt Is stated, however, that he does
not think that federal and state gov
ernments should both resort to this
method for raising revenue.
Later It was given out that the
new draft of the corporation tax
amendment will provide a tax of one
per cent instead of two per cent on
the net earnings of corporations. This
was decided today at an informal
conference at the White House
Attorney-General Wiekersham will
prepare the amendment accordingly.
Medford Tribune: City Attorney
Porter J. NefT and Mayor W. H.
Canon are In Salem today with a peti
tion to Governor Benson asking that
he Bend a circuit court Judge to this
district to hold a special term of
court In order that the condemnation
nror eedln-js brought by the City of
Medford against M. F. Haniey for a
right of way across tho llauley place
on Kittle liutto creek for the gravity
water system, might be heard and
the amount of damages assessed.
This step was decided upon after
Circuit Judge H. K. I In nil a refused
to hold a special session of court
during the time he was taking his
summer vacation. Should the gov
ernor fall to grant the petition and
exercise tho power vested In him by
law to send such a judge to this dis
trict it means that the city of Med
ford will be delayed indefinitely in
getting a supply of pure wnter into
tho city which will shut Medford out
of revenue from a wnter system
which taxed the city to its utmost
to install nnd for tho lack of tuch a
supply of pure water endanger the
henlth of Its residents throwing the
city open to an epidemic of typhoid
fever.
