nm special message.
Protost of Power Company Falls and
Harriman Has Accepted Condi
tion About Dam Site.
Washington, Juno 19. Secretary
Ballinger will not reconsider his recent
decision dismissing the protest of the
Deschutes Power & Development com
pany against granting right of way up
the Deschutes river to the proposed
railroad. Ho today denied a motion
for review of that decision, which mo
tion was filed by the above-named com'
nanv. Simultaneously he approved all
remaining maps of location filed by E.
H. Harriman's Deschutes Railroad
company, as well as maps of the Ore
gon Trunk line, which also Bought a
right of way through tho Deschutes
canyon.
This actionremoves the last govern'
ment obstacle in the way of construc
tion of theBe two roads, it having pre
viously been agreed by both companies
to use the samo right of way through
narrow portions of the canyon which
will not accomodate two tracks.
The secretary's action today put an
end to all protest against railroad
right of way by private parties, and,
if they hereafter seek to interfere with
railroad construction, they must do so
through the Oregon courts.
The right of way contemplates con
struction at water grade. Tho railway
company agreed toelevate tho tracks
if in the future it becomes necessary
to do so to avoid interference with any
irrigation work the government may
build along this river. Tho railroad
company has accepted thiB stipulation,
As interpreted by many porsons who
come forward witn objections to tho
scheme, tho plan is to tax only such
portion of the earnings as remain after
all expenses of operation, maintenance
and fixed charges, including interest
on bonds, havo been deducted from the
gross earnings of the corporation, The
tax, however, is to bo upon tho net
earnings before the interest on bonds
has been deducted. Otherwise, it is
pointed out, tho tax would be reduced
substantially to a dividond basis, which
was what tho president himself did
havo in mind originally.
First, a dividend tax, then a tax on
earnings available for dividends, and
finally a tax on all earnings in excess
of expenses of maintenance and opera
tion, were the successive steps in tho
evolution of tho idea which Attorney
General Wickersham, following a long
conference with the president this af
ternoon, is putting into form for Bub-
mission.
The bonded debt side of tho matter
was fully gono into by tho president
and his advisers.
Tho $25,000,000 estimate of rovenuo
to bo yielded by the tax was based on
figures supplied to the secretary by an
expert at the president's request, but
they were based on the original propo
sition of a dividond tax. Tho yield
from the tax as now proposed will
double that at least and perhaps go
considerably beyond. These facts were
obtained today from a member of tho
administration who has taken a lead
ing part in working out details of the
plan.

CANADA TAKES POWER.
Claims Right to Fix Rail Rates Across
Boundary.
Ottawa. Ont, June 19. The Cana
dian Railway commission ruled today
that it had jurisdiction over the rates
charged on through traffic originating
in Canada and destined to a point in
the United States, or originating in
the United States and destined for
Canada.
The ruling was made in the case of
an application by the Dawson board of
trade for an .order declaring that rates
charged by the White Pass & Yukon
railway were too high. The railway
carries traffic by boat to Skagway and
by rail across part of Alaska to Daw
son, traversing both American and Ca
nadian territory. No decision on the
rate question was rendered, but the
railway was ordered to file a schedule
of its through freight tariffs for ap
proval or modification.
If the ruling is sustained on appeal,
all through traffic across the United
States and Canadian international
boundary line will be under tne juris
diction of the Canadian railway com-
mission.
IN WARLIKE MOOD.
'Tokio Papers Make Most of Strike
Difficulty In Hawaii.
Tokio, June 19. Special dispatches
from San Francisco to Japanese news
papers are so worded as 'to indicate
that conditions obtaining in the Hawai
ian islands, growing out of the Japan
ese sugar plantation strike, aro ex
tremely serious. They declare that the
Japanese on the mainland, as well as
those in the islands, are deeply incens
ed over the treatment accorded their
countrymen by the Hawaiian planters,
and they say that relations are strained
almost to the breaking point.
The publication of these inflamma
tory dispatches is again arousing an
anti-American feeling among the Jap
anese lower classes. The sensational
ist papers are seizing the opportunity
of commenting editorially in a manner
calculated to increase this feeling of
hostility.
Thugs Make Odd Mistake.
Montgomery, Ala., June 19 A sec
ond attempt was made late last night
to do bodily harm to detectives of the
Law and Order league, who have gath
ered evidence against dealers in soft I
drinks. Tho detectives arrived in the
citv last night from Nashville, where
they were rushed after being attacked
here last week. Last night .a son of
Deputy Sheriff Harry McCord was call
ed away from the jail and severely
beaten before the thugs realized their
mistake. Deputy Sheriff McCord is in
search of his son's assailants.
Shower of New Indictments Depress
Hawaiian Strikers.
Honolulu, June 18. Following the
indictments of several of the Japanese
strike leaders Friday last, the territor
ial grand jury returned additional in
dictments today against Y. Soga, F.
Makino, M. Negoro, K. Kawamurs, Y.
Tasaka and Yanashira, for conspiracy
to commit murder and to incite others
to crime.
An indictment for assault was found
against Sugwara, who is accused of at
tempting to collect funds for the strik
ers by violence.
In addition to these indictments. 13
of the striking Japanese at the Wia
pann plantation were indicted for an
assault upon a police officer and riot
ing. In view of the vigorous action of
the authorities, the strikers are much
depressed.
The replevin suit brought to recover
the papers seized in the office of the
Jiji by High Sheriff Henry wasJT dis
missed.
Japanese Consul Uyeno is investi
gating the alleged destruction of the
safe of Editor Soga, which was broken
open by the authorities.
Forty-five delegates from the Japan'
ese union on the island of Hawaii, rep
resenting 9,000 laborers, have just
completed a session lasting four days
and nights. They resolved not to
strike, nor help tho Oahu strikers, but
to present a statement of their de
manda and trust to the fairness of the
planters.
They ask for a 10-hour day at SI.
for time and a half pay for overtime
and Sunday work and for quarters
equal to those of the Spaniards and
Portugese. These demands will be
presented to the Planters' association
Monday.
Old Soldiers to Quit.
Los Angeles, Cal June 18. One
hundred and fifty inmates of the Sol
diers' home at Sawtclle say tonight
that they will leave the institution the
day on which their pension money is
available because of tho scarcity of
food on the tables of the institution.
Other grievances aro stated, but short
rations is the principal one. Governor
T. J. Cochran, of the home, says he is
willing to admit that the food supply
at tne home is low, but the appropria
tion for the home has been cut down
and the number of inmates increased.

Von Buelow Makes Reply,
iierl in, June Jo. Chancellor von
Buelow in the reichstag today attacked
the tactics employed by the clerical
party against him. They had even
dared, he said, to accuse him of disloy
alty to the emperor and infidelity to
the German-Austrian alliance and they
had considered it necessary to sever
their social relations with him. "It
never occurred to me," said the chan
cellor, "to exclude any one from social
relations because of differences of poli
tical opinions."
Washington, Juno 17. President
Taf t yesterday sent tho following mca
sage to congress :
"To tho Senato and House of Ropr
senatives It is tho constitutional duty
of tho president, from timo to time, to
present to tho consideration of congross
such measures as ho shall judgo neccs
sary and expedient.
"In my inaugural address, immcdi
atoly preceding this present extraord
nary session of congress, I invited at
tention to tho necessity for a revision
of the tariff at this session, and stated
tho principles upon which I thought
tho revision Bhould bo effected. I re
ferred to tho then rapidly increasing
deficit, and pointed out tho obligation
on tho part of tho framers of tho tariff
bill to arrange duties so as tosecuro an
adequato income, and suggested that if
it -was not possible to do so by import
duties, new kinds of taxation must be
Adopted, and among them I recommend
ed a graduated inheritance tax as cor
rect in principle and as certain and
easy of collection.
"Tho house of representatives ' has
adopted tbo suggestion and has pro
vided in tho bill it passed for tho co
lection of such a tax. In the senate,
the action of its finnnce committee
and tho course of the debate indicate
that it may not agree to thiB provision,
and it is now proposed to mako up tho
deficit by tbo imposition of a genera!
income tax, in form and substanco al
most exactly the same character as that
which, in the case of Pollock vs. Farm
era Loan & Trust company, 167 U. S
429, was held by the Supreme court to
be a direct tax, and therefore, not with
in tho power of the Federal govern
ment to impose unless apportioned
among tho states according to popu
lation.
"This new proposal, which I did not
discuss in my inaugural address or my
message at the opening of the present
session, makes it appropriate for me to
submit to congress certain additional
recommendations.
"The decision of the Supremo, court
in the income tax cases deprives the
national government of a power which.
by reason of previous decisions of the
court, it was generaly supposed the
government had. It is undoubtccdly a
power the national government ought
to have. It might be indispensable to
the nation's life in great crises.
"Although I have not considered
constitutional amendment as necessary
to the exercise of certain phases of
this power, a mature consideration has"
satisfied mo that an amendment is the
only proper course for its establishment
to its full extent. I therefore recom
mend to the congress that both houses,
by a two-tnirds voto, snail propose an
amendment to the constitution confer
ring the power to levy an income tax
upon the national government without
apportionment among the states in pro
portion to population.
"This course is much to bo preferred
to the ono proposed, of re-enacting
law once judicially declared to be un
constitutional. For congress to ossumo
that the court will reverso itself and to
enact legislation on such assumption
will not-strengthen popular confidence
in the stability of the judicial construc
tion of the constitution. It is much
Wiser policy to accept the constitution
and remedy the defect in due and regu
lar course.
"Again, it is clear that by the enact
ment of the proposed law, tho congress
will not be bringing money into the
treasury to meet the present deficiency,
but by putting on the statuto book
law already there and never repealed
will Bimply be suggesting to tbo execu
tivo officers of the government their
possible duty to invoke litigation.
"If the court should maintain its
formsr view, no tax would be collected
at all. If it should ultimately reverse
itself, still no taxes would havo been
collected until after protracted delay.
"It is said the difficulty and delay
in securing the approval of throe-fourths
of tho states will destroy all chance of
adopting the amendment. Of course,

"I-am informed that a 2 percent tax
of this character would bring Into tho
treasury of tho United States not loss
that $25,000,000.
"The decision of tho Supremo court
in tho coso of tho Sprockles Sugar lie
fining company against McClain seems
cloarly to establish tho fact that sucn
a tax as this is an excise tax upon prtv
ilego, and not a direct tax on property
and is within tho Federol power with
out apportionment according to popu
lation.
"Tho tax on not incomo Ib preferable
to one proportionate to a percentage of
tho gross receipts, because it is a tax
upon Buccess and not failure. It im
noses a burden at tho sourco of the in
como at a timo when tho employer

easy.
"Another merit of this tax is tho
Federal supervision which must bo ex
erciscd in order to mako tho law effect
ive over tho annual accounts and bus
ness transactions of nil corporations
While tho faculty of assuming a cor
porate form has boon of tho utmost
utility in tho business world, it is also
true that substantially all of tho abuses
nnd all of tho evils which have aroused
tho public to tho necessity of roform
will bo made possiblo by theU30 of this
very faculty.
"If now, by n perfectly legitimat
and effective system of taxation, wo
are incidentally nbla to possess tho
government and tho stockholders and
tho public of tho knowlcdgo of tho roo
businoss transactions and the gains and
profits of every corporation in the
country, wo havo made a long step to
ward that supervisory control of cor
porations whicn may prevent a further
abuse of power.
"I recommend then, first, tho adop
tion of a joint resolution by two-thirds
of both houses, proposing to tho states
an amendment to tho constitution
granting to tho Federal government
the right to levy and coiloct an incomo
tax, without apportionment among the
states, according to population; and
second, the enactment as part of tho
pending revenue measure, either os
substitute for or on addition to, tho in
heritance tax, of an excise tax upon al
corporations, moasurod by 2 per cent of
their net income."
