NGLAND-USED AS OBJECT
Bill Parsed by Congress, He Says, Is
Best Form of Income Tax That
Con Id Be Devised and Shows
Faults In Direct Trimary.'
DBVVTR, Sept. 21. Making his war etill
further to the West. President Taft ar
rived In this city this afternoon and to
night in the Denver Auditorium, where a
rear ago William J. Bryan was nominated
as his opponent in the Freeidentlal race,
he faced a crowd . of . thousands that in
Its noisy welcome and continuous en
thusiasm recalled, some of the scenes of
convention week.
Conservation Speech Postponed.
President Taft, switching from his pur
pose to discuss the conservation of nat
ural resources, tonight took up the cor
poration tax and defended It as against
the proposition to impose a direct in
come tax, which he fcaid seemed likely
to pass the Senate when the corporation
. tax was devised as a compromise. The
President strongly urged, however, that
the states ratify the proposed Income tax
amendment to the Constitution In order to
make such a tax available in time of
necessity.
Ballinger Comes for Conference.
Mr. Taft wae joined here today by Sec
retary of the Interior Ballinger, who will
accompany him on a part of the trip
through the Far Northwest. It is thought
the. President desires a further confer
ence with Mr. Ballinger. whose conduct
of tlx Interior Department he recently
upheld in a long letter, before making a
final exposition of the policy of the Ad
ministration as to the conservation of re
sources. Mr. Taft probably will not take up that
subject until he reaches Bait Lake City,
where he spends Friday and Saturday, or
he may wait until he arrives at Spokane,
Wash., where at the Irrigation Congress,
the. Balilnger-Pinchot controversy had its
first public airing.
Corporation Tax Upheld.
The President tonight declared that the
corporation tax was in itself the best form
of Income tax that could be levied, and
pointed out that it contained many of the
best features of the income tax law of
England. The President declared It would
be possible so to amend the corporation
tax as to Include within Its scope every
desired feature of an Income tax except
the levy upon Incomes derived from actual
salary and professional services.
The President said he opposed direct
Income tax except in cases of emergency
and he believed it to be a prime fault In
the Federal Constitution that no provision
is made for a direct levy to meet wartime
or other extraordinary expenses.
Bond Tax Unconstitutional.
Mr. Taft declared it was the Supreme
Court decision declaring unconstitutional
the Income tax law passed by a Demo
cratic Congress years ago, that prevented
the leaders In Congress during the ses
sion recently closed from Including In the
corporation tax measure a provision for
a levy upon bonds and bondholders. To
tax bonds would result In the reduction
of the rate of -interest and hence would
b a direct tax upon the individual hold
ers of the bonds.
The President based his argument in
favor of the corporation tax as compared
with the direct Income tax, almost en
tirely upon the results of the Income tax
in England. He pointed out the tax
there Is not a direct levy, such as was
recently defeated in the Senate only
through a compromise, but that it laid
the tax upon the Income before it came
into the hands of the individual.
Lessons of English Tax.
The English tax is levied, first on the
declared dividends of corporations; sec
ond on rents before leaving the hands
of the tenants, and third on the individual
directly. It was found in England that
a direct Income tax at 10 txr cent did not
produce as much revenue as the present
method of taxation. This, Mr. Taft de
clared, illustrated the premium the di
rect tax places upon perjury and con
cealment. It Is a question, the President
declared, whether incomes earned in sal
aries and from professional work should
be taxed as heavily as incomes derived
from Investments or not taxed at all. The
latter, he said, was the effect of the cor
poration tax.
The President received a most en
thusiastic welcome to Denver. Signs were
hung all over the city reading "Welcome
to Denver, the Summer Capital."
Deficit to Be Met.
While here the President Is the guest
f United States Senator Hughes, a Dem
ocrat. He heid a public reception of two
lours this afternoon at the State Capitol.
At the Auditorium tonight Mr. Tart
'touched briefly on the tarin. saying that
while a revision had seemed essential,
there was also a deficit In the Treasury
to be met. This partly will be met by a
cut of 40.i.fi00 to t.0OC,000 In the ap
propriations to be made by Congress and
partly by the Incomes from the new cor
poration tax law.
Mr. Taft said he had favored at first

Three men attempted to hold up "Jacob

Hall saloon, at Third and Davis streets
last night shortly before 11 o'clock and
were scared away when Kober, who was
behind .the -bar, took hold of the pistol
which one of the highwaymen pointed at
his head and tried to 'wrest it from his.
hand. The' other two thugs were un
armed and all three fled when the strug
gle for possession of the revolver was
broken into by the arrival of patrons.
"I was standing behind the oar when
three young fellows came in and called
for beer," said Kober. "I started to fill
the glasses when one of them poked a
pistol In my face. I grabbed hold of the
barrel and turned It upward, trying to
wring it out of his hand. Another of
the trio took hold of my watch, but
couldn't get the chain loose. They ran
when two men came In."
The saloon was practically" deserted
when the three thugs entered. Charles
Miller, a young German, who came here
yesterday from Los Angeles, was the only
other person in the place. He was seated
at a table in front of the bar and was
told by one of the thugs if he made a
move he would be shot He remained
seated.
Detectives say the holdup men .are am

SHOTS FIRED INTO FORT
Bullet Strikes Bathtub Where 1-dttIe
Child Is Bathing.
FORT STEVENS. Or.. Sept. 21. (Spe
cial.) Recent developments indicate an
alarming and equally Inexplicable state
of affairs at Fort Stevens. During the
recent encampment several shots were
fired and lodged In the Inhabited portion
of the post. Either supreme carelessness
or malicious forethought prompted the
shooting.
One shot tore through the window cas
ing and lodged In a bathtub, where the
little daughter of Captain Raymond was
bathing. One of the boilers used In pre
paring meals upon a field range used
by the 93d Company was berforated on
one side, 'the bullet passing through and
impinging upon the opposite side of the
boiler.
An inspection of the bullet found In
Captain Raymond's quarters showed it
to be a 45-caIiber. a size not in use
among the Army weapons. Prompt
measures were taken to prevent a recur
rence of this mysterious shooting. A
mounted sentinel now patrols the entire
Stevens beach.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21. (Special.) The
Hindu fakers who could make a boy
climb a pole and vanish when he
reached the top have nothing -on the
modern- dressmaker. This much was
made clear today by Madame Ripley,
who assured an - amazed male at the
dressmakers' convention that a "mo

inches from a tall woman's stature or
adding as much i to a short woman.
Through the same necromancy the add
ing of. 30 needed pounds or elimination
of as much superfluous avoirdupois Is
a mere detail of the craft. '
"Oh, we really do it." Madame Ripley
explained: "it looks just as though we
did. anyway. Tou can 'do almost any
thing you wish with a woman's figure.
Mari'els can be accomplished by the
proper use of lines In cutting. .
"It is not necessary to make use of
pads if you are expert enough in the
use of lines," continued Madame Ripley.
"It Is the unskilled dressmaker tha
has to stuff her gowns' full of waldin,?
and pads. Besides, the American woman
does not like pads. She Insists on be
ing comfortable above everything else,
and padding is not comfortable."

commanding the Department of Cali
fornia, renews the recommendation
made by Major-General Funston last

Middle West. The work of the school,
he says, has been most satisfactory, but
it Is believed that better results would
be obtained by placing It at a more cen
tral post. .

arms firing regulations be modified so
far as they require a commissioned
competitor to make a score equal to
5 per cent Increase over that of an en
listed member of the team in order to
win a medal.

region, together with more than 100 books
in which many important marginal notes
had been made. Some records bearing
on the dash to the Pole have, been lost.

cans, really he Is delightful."
This was the tribute paid to King Ed
ward by Maxine Elliott, the actress, on
her return from Europe today on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II.
Miss Elliott was enthusiastic about the
King. But she was very much annoyed
when told that an American newspaper
had described her as "King Edward's
Summer girl."
"How awful." she said. "Really the
American papers terrify me. I am afraid
to pick one up. It's dreadful," and Miss
Elliott shuddered. -
"Now. the Er-glish newspapers, they
are so nice and so respectful. One is not
afraid of them at all.
. "Arent they dull?" was asked. 4
"Maybe, but they're safe. But I pre

Then Miss Elliott looked quite piteous.
