March The gov-| •matent's alefense of the constitutional- . tty of the corporation tax provision of j the new tariff law was sublhitted today I hr "printed form to the supreme court of 1 the- United States. It Ba the work of Lloyd W. Boners, solictor general, but bears tbe signature also of his chief. Attorney General Wickeraham. Upon; it ‘he government will shape its oral j defense of the law, when the corpora tion tax cases come up for argument, probably on Thursday- The first point sought to be made Is I, that the tax is not a direct tax upon property, but is an exctse tax upon "the carrying cn oc. doing business Ihe declarations of the statute, us well as decisions of the courts, are relied upon to support this-point. Aato ttw stabile. -Mt Bowers says tn Ms brief-1 has rt shows the transac tions of business to be the subject of the tax * and that the income of busi ness to ■red merely aK injuring the mount of tax. "which rests not upon that Income but • «pon the occupation from which-it is derived.” These reasons, together with the deci-1 sion of the supreme court in the Spreck els case, which the solicitor general ex plains its holding that a tax declared In tlm statute to be laid on business in an amount equivalent to a certain percent age of income, is an excise tax on the business, are taken by him as suffi cient to siiow that the corporation lax is hn’excise on the transaction-of bus l tress. *•’ * However be proceeds to cite cases to prone that although the tax were laid on the income of business, it would still be ’an excise upon the bustr.ess.- A Mat of Inheritance tax ’cases 4a cited j tp jfam ,11 an eweise tar "If a tax upon the exercise of the right to* receive property, personal or real, by inheritance is not a direct tax on the property, though (as was true of al! the federal Inheritance tax laws* the Inheritance tax is measured by the value of the inherited property." said the so licitor general. ?it must be equally true that a tax upon the exercise of the right to use property in one or another kind of business-especially under the peculiar conditions and advantages of corporate business—is not a direct tax. In his consideration of cases bearing upon the point of whether the corpora tion tax was a direct tax or an excise, j Mr. Bowers refers to the famous in- j oeme tax cases. He says these cases , have been interpreted, undoubtedly with the concurrence of the entire supreme court, as referring to a tax imposed up on property solely by reason of its ownership. . ~ EXCELLENT FRUIT CROP.

Dr. Stallings has in his pos session a dozen pints of good whisky (as suming that the old-time wit was right ; who said “All whisky’s good, but some is better than the rest”)—a dozen pints of good whisky, as aforesaid, which he can't get rid of.

I The liquor belongs to one man. and Dr. > Stallings knows who it belongs to.

He sent it up to the state chem- Isi a year ago. with the significant re-r j quest that it be analyzed. Os course that 1 spelled trouble for the chemist, and many days in some court as a witness—days that he could ill afford to spare from his 1 official duties. So the chemist declined to play, and tried to pass the buck. But the buck wouldn't pass. It's still there, a year older than it was 12 months ago. ' and getting older every day. Dr. Stallings wrote to the fiery prohi bitionist who had sent it up. apparently after making the rounds in Savannah and buying it in the soda water joints down there.

Once more the doctor penned an epistle, thrilling with impassioned fervor, imploring the alien in Savannah to take it away. Still nothing doing. And there's been nothing doing till now. • Many reasons have been ascribed for the utterly incomprehensible attitude on the part of an owner of a dozen bottles of liquor. Some suggest that maybe he thought at first he could accomplish something for his cause in Savannah and th’at after he saw What he was really up against he gave it up as a hopeless job and went away in despair. Others inti mate that possibly he really don't want the stuff, but that is dismissed as absurd. Still others imply that probably he feels he might be too seriously embarrassed to receive an express package of such suspicious Chattanooga-like and sug gestive appearance as this shipment would present. Whatever the reason, the liquor is still there, safely hidden somewhere in the chemistry bureau. Dr. Stallings has been advised of 100 different’ ways in which he might dispose of the possession to his own lasting benediction and to the com plete satisfaction of his numerous friends. But he is talking now of bundling the liquor up and shipping it collect to the Savannah prohibitionist’s last year's address. He may do this. Will Standard Oil dissolve, or again congeal?

WHAT’S THE USE Sticking to a Habit When It Nieans Discomfort? Old King Coffee knocks subjects out tolerably fiat at times, and there is no possible doubt of what did it. A Mich, weman gives her experience: "I used to have liver trouble nearly all o* the time and took medicine which re lieved me only for a little while. Then every once in a while I would be sud denly doubled up with an awful agony in my stomach. It seemed as though every time I took a breath 1 would die. No one could suffer any more and live. "Finally 1 got down so sick with ca tarrh of the stomach that I could not turn over in bed. and my stomach did not digest even milk. The doctor finally told me that If I did not give up drinking Coffee I would surely die, but I felt 1 could not give it up. "However. Husband brought home a package of Postum and it was made strictly according to directions. It was the only thing that would stay on my stomach, and 1 soon got so I liked it very much. "Gradually 1 began' to get better, and week by week gained in strength and health. Now I am in perfect condition, and I am convinced that the whole cause of my trouble was coffee drinking, and my getting t>ett,» was due to leaving oft Coffee and taking Postuni. "A short time ago J tasted some coffee and found, to my astonishment, that 1 did not care anything about it.

GOV. BROWN BRANDS pmsiFwo H AH IMPOSTDR - Declines to Introduce the Dis tinquished Explorer to an At lanta Audience on the Occa sion of His Lecture Commander Robert E. Peary, who tjlaims to have reached the north [ pole and who is to lecture |at the. auditorium-armory Wednes day night is getting his on all sides just 'at present. Governor Brown who was to have intro duced the distinguished explorer has de clined to perform that function giving as his reason the fact that he did not con sider the claims put forward by Peary to be trustworthj. In crude English, Gov ernor Brown regards Peary as a fakir, and he gives his reasons'at some length. When It was learned that Governor i Brown would not consent to introduce I Commander Peary, one of the gentlemen | Interested In the lecture called on Mayor Maddox and made the request that a* fill the role of official introducer to the people of Atlanta. MAYOR MADDOX DECLINES. Mayor Meddox also declined. He gave j several reasons. In substance he said i that Commander Peary was coming to Atlanta as a private citizen on a money- j making proposition, and was in no sense the guest of the city of Atlanta; that he ! was very busy and did not feel called ( upon to introduce him to an Atlanta 1 audience. Speaking afterward to a re porter. he said lie understood congress was now investigating Peary’s claims and that tip to this time the explorer had not produced sufficient proofs to the investigating committee of congress to substantiate his claims. Finally F. L. Seeley was asked to present Commander Peary to the citizens of Atlanta and he consented. GOVERNOR BROWNS STATEMENT. Governor Brown has the following to say of Peary: “The public while discrediting Cook's story, makes the mistake of supposing • Peary's true, yet Peary's story is the same as Cook s. What is the best proof ( that Cook's storj’ is correct? It is that i Peary's story conforms to Cook's, thus confirming it. “Did Peary fake his astronomical fig ures in the Roosevelt? He went alone Ito the pole. Why? I "What proof does Peary bring save his own word? Cook brings the same and as good. Where was Cook? Did he spend the time in a snow house with his dogs, etc.? If he stayed at one place for months, it would have gotten out. , “Peary, to destroy the value of Cook's narrative, must lirst discover the val ue of his own. Two horns of a dilem ma. If Cook has handed us a gold brick, x eary has hanaed us a paste diamond, or for a silver platter, has given us a ! basin maue of a very cheap grade of pew ter. It is ‘up to’ Peary to explain how : Cook’s story can be false and his iden- I tlcal story can be true. The American | people will not accept hts smile as proof .that he is not as great a fakir as he ! charges Cook to be. “Fantastic snowshoes, nits in the ice, colored ice, the sun going in a circle, not setting, ice-covered sea. as described by Peary are almost identical with sim ilar descriptions from Cook's narrative. “The Mount McKinley ascension story ' has no bearing on the identical story of the north pole. A man may tell us a thousand lies yet tell one great truth. i “Even if Cook were to assert that his story was a fake, it would not make it false, unless we are forced to con ?ess that was false; *or u.e two sto -1 ries are the same, and lute the Siamese I twins, they must' live together or die I together. xou might as well say that I Chang was a Chinese and Eng was an ' Englishman as to say that Cook's story [ is false and Peary’s true. AN UNGENEROUS WtNNER “The world loves a good loser. It condemns an ungenerous winner. But I give it time, and it uiscerns between a | winner and a pseudo-winner, j “I have no interest in the controversy, 'save the right to have the truth; but when Peary asks me to believe the same story false from Cook and true from him. I respectfully decline to consider ‘so easy.' “Till Representative Macon's expose of Peary, I believed that the stories of both were true, but that if either were salsa iboth were false, were fakes. Both were •heroes, or both were champion liars. They i are generally linked together, though It I now appears that Peary copied Cook's story. “Barnum said that the people like to Ibe humbugged. But if lamto be hum •bugged, I would prefer to be taken in by I the original humbug, than by the coun terfeit humbug. They are both the same in appearance, but Cook's is the orig inal. TRANSCENDENT FRAUD. "I say these words In the Interest of the truth. I say them with that pride in the American government which pro tests against putting its seal upon a transparent fraud—a fraud in that, while denouncing Cook's first told story as a fake, it asks us to stamp Peary's after ward told identical story as the truth, a fraud which brands Cook and lauds and proposes to reward Peary for the per formance of the same act.” “CUBAN LOTTERY AGENT” IS CONVICTED IN TAMPA TAMPA.
