The man who is always thinking of
the reward for his good deeds, philoso
phizes the Epitomlst, will not make a
good showing in fhe final accounting.
Where charity begins is not so im

It is proposed in Poston to levy a
tax of 10 cents per square foot on ail
advertisements painted or posted up
on billboards. Such a tax, thinks the
Chicago Record Herald, would un
doubtedly help to bring along the city
beautiful.
Mexico is getting into a mood to
act as pacificator for the whole of Cen
tral America, observes the Philadel
phia Ledger. Every little power in the
lot needs a spanking and none is
strong enough to give this to the oth
ers. President Diaz, with slipper in
hand, would be a beneficent figure.
The feeling ail along the line in the
business situation in this part of the
country has taken on a rosier hue in
(he last few weeks, notes the Birming
ham News. Not only are the existing
conditions better, but the outlook is
brighter and the prospects for a period
of prosperity are more encouraging.
The state of Washington has passed
an anti-tipping bill to which a heavy
provisionals penalty is attached. We
are not expecting, explains the New
Haven Journad-Courier, that there will
be violations, but if Washington has
any good waiters and other servants
we venture to assert that they will
very shortly migrate elsewhere.
Consul-General George E. Anderson
(Rio de Janeiro) has turned/in a re
port on Brazilian rice. “The vpst mass
of rice produced in Brazil,” .he says,
, "conies from small farlm*, —merit
patches in the hills—Without. regular*
ity of production, without superintend
ence, without census returns. Taken
as a whole, the production of rice in
Brazil is without irrigation, fertiliza
tion, cultivation, or any modern treat
ment; it is primitive in every partcu
lar.”
“When I was a boy,” says T.ogslator
Harrison of North Carolina, “my fa
ther required his three sons to eat .a
portion of every dish on the table. If
we said we did not want this or that,
he would command us to eat —and eat
w,e did. I have observed the same rule
in my own household, where nine
youngsters are being reared. Nothing
is too good, nothing too common, for
the satisfaction of my stomach, just
so long as it is served with cleanli
ness.
The birth of a daughter brings a
feeling of relief to Hutch statesmen.
They would have preferred a boy, per
haps, argues the Baltimore Sun, since
a king exerts a larger personal influ
ence on the administration of affairs
and conserves royal prerogatives,
which commonly weaken ill a woman a
hands, but queens are less venture
some than kings, and their tenure of
the throne often coincides with a per
iod of material prosperity and enlarge
ment of popular rights.
Americans ought to be ashamed not
to know this land—its greatness. A
man is not a good citizen if his own
country does not Interest him, protests
the New York American. The Ameri
can who has the time and the money
to travel should be ashamed to con
fess that he.knows half a dozen other
countries better than his own. It is a
fact, as the friend who writes us says,
“that the climate of southern Califor
nia is superior in winter to any cli
mate that can be found abroad.” The
scenery of the Pacific coast is most
beautiful, the climate admirable, the
sunshine and the flowers an inspiring
delight. The man in winter time in
need of warm air who exposes him
self to the shivery blasts of the Prom
enade des Anglais at Nice, or the
shivery terrace where they butcher
pigeons at Monte Carlo, is a foolish
person.
TAX ON CORPORATIONS
President Taft Asks Congress to
Amend Constitutions.
INCOME TAX AMENDMENT
Democrats Will Stand tor Income Tax
In Present Tariff Bill—Hard
Fight Coming.
Washington, D. C. —Recommending
legislation looking to the placing of
a 2 per cent tax on the net income
of corporations, and also the adoption
of an amendment to the constitution
providing for the imposition of an in
come tax without apportionment
among the several states, President
Taft sent to congress a message em
bodying his views on the subject. This
action followed a protracted special
meeting of the cabinet.
In hts message the president speaks
of the apparent inability of congress
to agree to an inheritance tax, and,
as regards an income tax, he refers to
the decision of the supreme court ix
the case of Pollock against the |'arm
ers’ Loan and't ust Company, in which
the court held the tax to be unconsti
tutional unless apportioned according
to population.
“It Is,” says the president, “undoubt
edly a power which the government
ought to have, it might/be indispensa-j
ble to the nation’s life in great cri-’
ses.” The amendment, therefore, ha
declares, was the only proper course).
Such an amendment to the constitu
tion, he contended, was preferable fo
the one proposed of reviving a lgjw
Judicially declared to be unconstitu
tional. {
The amendment which he proposes
to be made to the tariff bill provides
for the imposition upon all corpora
tions and joint stock companies for
profit, except national banks (other
wise taxed), savings banks and build
ings and loan associations, of an ex
cise tax of 2 per cent upon the net
income of such corporations.
This tax, it is said by him,will bring
an annual revenue of $25,000,000.
“This is a tax on privilege and not on
property,” he says, “and is within th
federal power without apportionment
according to population.”
The president points out that an
other merit to the tax on corporations
is the federal supervision, which will
give to the government, the stock
holders and the public knowledge of
the real business transactions and the
gains and prafits of every corporation
in the country.
The message concludes:
“I recommend then, first, the adop
tlon of a joint resolution by two-thirds
of both houses, proposes to the states
granting the federal government the
right to levy and collect an income
an amendment to the constitution
tax without apportionment tvmong the
states feeeording rpciptdafckm; -and,
second, the enactment, as part of the
pending revenue measure, either as a
substitute for, or in addition to, the
inheritance tax, of an excise tax upon
all corporations, measured by 2 per
cent of their net incomes.”
Five progresisve republican sena
tors, Messrs. Borah, Bristow, Cum
mins, LaFollette and Clapp, conferred
to determine what their attitude is
to be in the fact of President Taft’s
special message to congress favoring
the submission of the question to the
states for a constitutional amendment
and the enactment of a law taking
the net earnings of corporations.
They decided that the president’s
plan is not inconsistent with their
demands for the adoption of an
amendment taxing incomes, and that
both may adopted in harmony.
CENTRAL OFlit HI.SOLI).
Georgia Line is Bought by Illinois
Central.
New York City.—The sale of the
Central of Georgia Railway to the
Illinois Central Railroad, carrying out
plans forecasted more than, a year
ago was announced. The transactions
originated in negotiations culminating
in November, when the entire capital
stock of the Georgia passed into the
hands of William Nelson Cromwell
and John W. Castles. The purchaser,
it was announced a few months later,
was E. H. Harriman, whose intention,
it was then stated, was to transfer it
to the Illinois Central. The price paid
by the Illinois Central was not given
out.
Announcement f the transfer was
made in this city by John F. Hanson
of Atlanta, president of the Central
of Georgia. The price paid by Mr.
Harriman for the stock, to the par
value of $5,000,000, it was stated, was
$2,000,000, or at the rate of S6O per
share.
The transfer of the Central of Geor
gia carries with it the control of two
steamship lines, one from Savannah t:>
New York, and the other from Savan
nah to Boston, operated by the
Ocean Steamship Company. The Cen
tral of Georgia operates a little over
1,900 miles erf road. Its system
touches that of the Illinois Central
at Birmingham, Ala.
