NEW TAXDEBATED
Aldrich Tells Why He Is For
Corporation Amendment.
TO BEAT INCOME TAX MEASURE
Hood of Telegrams to Senators Ask
ing Them to Oppose President
Taft's Plan but 52 Are
Said to Favor It.
WashtiiKtoii, .Tunc 30. Senator Aid
rich of Rhode Island, chairman of the
committee on nuance and sponsor for
the corporation tax amendment to the
pondlnp tariff bill, announced in the
senate that he favored sucli a tax for
the purpose .of defeating the income
tax amendments of Senators Halley
and Cummins.
Hotly pressed by Senator Halley, Mr.
Aldrich declined to tell the senate
whether he sunnested the corporation
tax idea to President Tnft or whether
I ho president suggested it to him.
Kqually pressed by Senator Clny of
Georgia, Mr. Aldrich said ho would
not take up and reduce the schedules
proposed by the pending tariff bill if an
income or corporation tax amendment
was passed.
"I will say very frankly," replied
Senator Aldrich, "that I will vote for
a corporation tax to defeat an Income
tax and that I expect the corporation
tax during the next two years will
meet the deficit of ?GO,000,000 this year
and the deficit of $45,000,000, which I
have estimated for next year. At the
end of two years, I think, the tax will
be materially modified, if not repealed.
I have said that the levying of an In
come tax in a time of peace would
tend to destroy the protective system
of taxation."
Mr. Aldrich formally called up the
Bailey Income tax amendment ns the
peudlng provision under the senate
agreement and offered as an amend-1
ment the corporation tax provision re-j
ported by the ilnance committee.
Mr. Aldrich declared that with nddi-;
tlonal revenue to be provided by the 1
corporation tax be would be greatly i
surprised If there Is any deficit next j
year. The deficit for the present year, 1
he added, would be about ?00,000,000, j
not so great as formerly estimated.
Again, ho declared that if the tariff
bill becomes a law in its present form ,
It wiild next year produce an Income j
of $350,000 000.
Mr. Flint, who ns a member of the .
finance committee Is to have charge
of the corporation tax provision, then '
explained the provisions of the amend
ment. He said the finance commit
tee had considered not only a corpora
tion, but also an income tax law as
supplementary to the tariff, and had
decided it would be unwise to pass
such an income tax bill as introduced
by Senators Bailey and Cummins. '

"When the president suggested the
corporation tax," said Mr. Flint, "the
committee agreed to it and is here
prepared to support it."
Senator Dixon declared that there
would be many failures to reach the
corporations with the proposed tax.
"Still," he said, "because the presl-
dent of the United States and the lead-1
er of the Republican party has asked ,
jfor it, I shall vote for the corporation
tas amendment." Its chief virtue, he
suid, was its publicity features. j
A flood of telegrams is pouring In
upon senators in opposition to the cor- j
poration tnx amendment. '
Most of the telegrams come from
persons Interested in building and loan ,
associations, but practically every j
character of corporate operations Is ,
represented. Most of the senators re
i celved from twelve to fifty telegrams,
and some at least n hundred.
Chairman Aldrich says that n can
vas of the senate shows that iifty-two
Republicans will vote for the corpora
tion tax amendment.

SUFFRACETTEWAR
Militant Women March on
British Parliament.
MORE THAN 100 ARE ARRESTED
Premier Asquith Refuses to Receive
Delegation and Mrs. Pank
hurst Slaps the Face of
Inspector Jarvis.
London, June 30. The thirteenth
vnlu attempt of the militant suffra
gettes to obtain access to Premier As
quith by deputation resulted In excit
ing scenes in Parliament square and
the arrest of 112 women.
Those put in Jail included Mrs. Pank
hurst, Mrs. Solomon, the Hon. Mrs.
Ilaverfleld, daughter of Lord Ablnger;
Miss Margesson, daughter of Lady
Margcssonj Miss Maud Joachim, niece
of the violinist; Mrs. Mnnsell, wife of
Colonel Mnnsell and granddaughter of
Lord Wimborne; Mrs. Frank Corbett,
sister of a member of parliament;
Mrs. Rose Massey, wife of Colonel
Massey, and Miss Nellignu, who is seventy-nine
years old.
The expectation that a more deter
mined attempt than ever was to be
made to forcu Premier Asqulth's hand
attracted nn enormous crowd to the
parliament buildings. Probably 50,000
persons gathered at the scene. Within
the cordon of police were members of
both houses of parliament and scores
of distinguished persons. Among these
were Lord and Lady Granard, Lord
Morloy, Lord Wolverhampton and
Lord Althrop.
Great excitement was caused among
the crowd by the movements of the
equestrian suffragette, Miss Vera
Howe, who In riding habit and derby
hat rode backward and forward, car
rying messages between the different
deputations, until she was arrested.
Next appeared the deputation under
command of Mrs. Pankhurst, and it
was received by the crowd with wild
cheers. Escorted by the police, the
deputation arrived at the St. Stephen's
entrance to parliament, where It was
met by Chief Inspector Scantlebury,
who handed Mrs. Pankhurst a letter
from the premier regretting his in
ability to receive the deputation.
Angrily throwing the letter on the
ground, Mrs. Pankhurst exclaimed, "I
i stand on my riguts ns tne King's sub
ject to enter the house of commons,"
and she endeavored to force an en
trance. The police tried to induce the wo
men to disperse quietly and then be
gan to take the members of the depu
tation by the arms to lend them away.
To the surprise of the spectators, who
were massed around the entrance, Mrs.
Pankhurst slapped Inspector Jnrvls in
tiie face, knocking his cap in the mud.
There were cries of "Shame!" and
several of the spectators told the suf
fragette leader that she had no provo
cation to do such n tiling.
A moment later another member of
the deputation, Mrs. Saul Solomon,
knocked 'off the Inspector's cap a sec
ond time, while others made deter
mined attempts to rush the cordon of
police. Eventually the entire deputa
tion was placed under arrest.
By this time a second deputation
had loft Caxton hall, accompanied by
some hundreds of suffragettes and oth
ers, and nn attempt was made to
reach the house of commons through
tiie underground passage leading from
Westminster bridge.
This, too, was unsuccessful, but for
two hours the whole district was in a
state of uproar, the police dispersing
the crowds and arresting women by
"lv umuwB ui many
of the government buildings were
smashed with stones wrapped in pn-
lIL1,
Throughout the demonstrations the
police behaved with tho utmost for
bearance, but the suffragettes in many
cases forced them to some amount of
rough handling. There was much
screaming and in some cases fainting,
and many women had to be taken to
the hospitals in a state of collapse.

Presbyterians Fail,
by
New York. June 30. An unsuccess-
fUl effort was made to put tobacco on

offered an amendment "that we also

Thereupon ensued a discussion on

voto being taken the antltobacco party
was defeated.

Chicago. Richard T. Crane, multi
millionaire, like Robert Louis Steven
son, author, believes moro .men are
spoiled than made by college educa
tions. The multi-millionaire, who
spent his early life chiefly In labor,
"having little time for study," feels
much more strongly on the subject
than the famous graduate of the Uni
versity of Edlnburg, for he favors put
ting the torch to the universities sup
ported wholly or partly by the various
States.
The occasion for this latest expres
sion of the views of Mr. Crane, who
made his millions in building eleva
tors, is that members of the Legisla
ture asked his advice on the question
of increasing the appropriation for the
University of Illinois. The university
was organized in 18C7. This year's ap
propriation was $2,300,000. For fifteen
years the appropriations have aver
aged $2,000,000. Before that they
were not so large. The university,
situated at Urbana, has 4.C00 students
who pay from $50 to $110 a year for
tuition, and has a library of 100,000
volumes. Mr. Crane, in his letter to
the legislators, says:
"I have given a great deal of
thought and study to the subject of
higher education, and have conducted
several systematic investigations with
regard to this and many other institu
tions engaged in advanced lines of
education. In fact, as far as I know,
I am the only one who has ever taken
up this subject In a businesslike way,
and the conclusion I have reached is
that practically every one of these in
stitutions is a fraud and an imposition
on the public.
"In trying some years ago to find
out tho utility of an academic educa
tion for young men who havo to earn
their own living, inquiries were made
not only of graduates from the col
lego and universities, but also of those
who had engaged these graduates in a
business way, and the result as shown
was anything but creditable to the
university.
"I am prepared oven to go much
further than this, for I maintain that
instead of being a benefit, such insti
tutions as this are a positive crrso
and are doing a vast amount of harm
by demoralizing the youth of this
country.
"Instead of appropriating funds for
such Institutions it would be a good
deal bettor for the State to put a
torch to them and burn them down
to go out of the 'higher education'
business, and permit tho boys to go
back to their homes and assist in sup
porting their families instead of caus
ing them a heavy expense."
Mr. Crane is now seventy-seven
years of age. In 1903 he married, as
his second wife, Miss Emily Hutchin
son, who was then under thirty, and
settled $1,000,000 on her in lieu of
dower. His company has a profit
sharing system under which more
than $200,000 is distributed each year
among its employees.
