■m order of Railway Trainmen, mM Royal Ar
rArum and similar bodies regarding the scope
rf the tax. Mr. Flint replied that, m his opinion.
CmmC crde.rs were Eaf*)?uarded against taxation
Tinder th*» amendment. It was Intended to in
rlufle the big Insurance companies, whether
mutual or stock companies, h* said, and to draw
* line between a corporation wher» insurance
■was the principal business and a corporation
•where insurance -was merely an incident. V
Buikeley didn't like this definition, paying that
insurance companies were now taxed in every
Etate where they did business. To require them
to pay 2 per cent on their net earnings, he said,
;would be double taxation. In this res=p«»cT the
amendment was open to the objection which the
committee made against an inheritance tax.
Mr Foster wanted to know 'f building and
loan associations would have to pay the tax.
3Jr. Flint said he doubted If many Of them
•r-truld be required to pay the tax. for he did not
•Jhink they were orear.ized for profit. Mr. Aldrich
Immrjoebßi that if building and loan associa
tionf= were organized for profit there was no
reason why tarn] should r~ exempt from taxa
tion Senators Nelson and Crawford said that
"building and l^an associations when organized
•with a view to making profits' sheaiU be taxed
tb* ««arne as other corporations. Some of the
grossest fraud* in the history of South Dakota
*had been committed by building and loan asso
riati^n* against the poor people of that state.
Mr. Crawford said.
?<&t. Flint said It as Impossible to make an
cccurate estimate of how much revenue a tax of
2 per cent would yield.
40 TO THE BASIS OF THE TAX
He -was satisfied, he said, that the President's
. - - -,te of 525.000,000 a year was too low and
.that from $40,000,000 to 550,000.000 a year was
an"">re nearly correct. Mr Borah wanted bo know
the basis of the tax.
'It hi based on Baa privilege of doing busi
ff!ee«.' replied Mr. Flint.
• •\>t for being a corporation?" asked Mr.
l*BorsLh.
y "No. en the privH?^ Of d<Mng bu«!ne?e." Mr.
lyiint reiterated.
j When Mr. Flint closed Mr DteOSI made an
*itheus*tT» argument in favor of an Inheritance
'tax He was convinced, he paid, that sufficient
>»«r»nu« would not b« raised under the new
l<fustoin duties, and he retarded a tax on m
fierftanees a* an Meal method of increasing
[the income of the government There wag no
!6oubt of Its validity, he said, and it would be
rrroro easily enforced than an income or a cor j
poration tax. Mr. Dixon Mid lie would yield ■
tr> Mr. Taft 5 wishes, however, and vote for the
Incorporation tax. ** Its publicity feature com
yn-nded It to him.
Mr. Owen said he was In favor of both an la
t«*vni« and an inheritance tax, and at the proper
Time he would offer an amendment for a pro
rgressive inheritance tax ranging from 1 to 100
IjHr rent. He frankly admitted that mm of the
.'purposes "* bis amendment was to redistribute

*peakirg for an hour and laying the foundation
for his critical analysis Ml the pending: meas
ure. th« lowa Senator yielded the floor until to

amendment offered by Mr. Bailey and himself.
it irap with regret. be ■*• that he opposed the
, — r aatir>r«s «f the President, but h*
ted if Mr Taft fully comprehended th«
meaaur* <n !ta entirety. The proposed tax, Mr.
<""umra'ns *a?d. was fundamentally wrong and
13 contravention of the most marred tradition?
cf tv>r American people. It was not fair, equal
cr uniform and was subject to all th* constitu
tional objections which had been made against
an Income tax. It had one constitutional oh
3»ction peculiar to itself, he added. •
Before the corporation tax amendment was
taken up the Senate devoted four hours to a
running debate on the Tinman amendment for a
tax of 10 cents a pound on tea. The advocates
of tfee amendment included Senators Tillman.
Carter, Heyburn. Bailey. Bradley, Perkins and
Smith, of Michigan, lt-« critics being Senators
McLaurin. Shively. Dixon and Jones. Several
Republican Senators tried to have Mr. Tinman
admit that he favored this tax as a protection
to a domestic Industry In hip state. "I want It
on the Republican side as a pr"»t«»*ifT<« measure.

TO PENSION EMPLOYE
E PRESIDENT.
PLAN OF T.
Mr. Taft May Urge Retirement
Fund for Government Workers.
[From Th» Tribune Bureau I
Washington, June «.— The President will recom
mend to Congress in his first annual message the
creation o* a retirement fund and the pensioning
of superannuated employes of the government, ac
cording to the prediction of several members of the
Cabinet who have given th» subject considerable
study and who will urge that course in their an
nual reports. The President himself recently ex
pressed the- hope that some feasible system of re
tiring aged clerks would be devised, and as a mem
ber of President Roosevelt's Cabinet he advised the
President that this government would have to come
to that system in the near future
Since the extension of Civil Service reform
throughout the executive departments, which ha?
obviated the frequent changes that prevailed under
the spoils system, the number of clerks too old
properly to perform the duties assigned to them
has steadily Increased. With the beginning of the
Taft administration the President urged on
the members of his Cabinet the promotion of
economy, and they, in seeking to carry out the
President's wishes, have prosecuted a quiet in
vestigation of the services in their several de
partment*. The President told his Cabinet of
ficers that he would furnish them with such
subordinates as they desired and would look to
them for results. Their Investigations have re
vealed the presence of great numbers of in
competents whose ridiculously small amount of
work adds greatly to the expense of conducting
tbe federal business.
These incompetents can b« divided into two
classes. One- consists M comparatively young
clerks who lack energy an,! ambition. The other
includes a great number of clerks of too advanced
ape to make it possible for them to do anything
approaching a full day's work. The first class can
and wiil be eas'ly taken care of. They will be
dropped from the service. But to drop those who.
after years of faithful sen-ice, have grown old in
the service is a task which few Cabinet officers ace
willing to perform.
In seme of the efforts at reorganisation the super
annuated have beers practically pensioned, receiv
ii-, the lowest grade of salaries, with no expecta
tion that they will accomplish much. In the New
fork Custom House, for Instance, seventy-five old
employes have been found incapacitated by age to
perform their duties. Their pay has been reduced
and they are permitted to spend their time about
as they please, reporting once a day a' the Custom
House This is possible, however, only because
their supposed duties keep them outside of the Cus
tom House itself. Were they employed inside the'*
mere presence would demoralise the entire service
The Treasury affords a striking instance of the
condition which prevails in [he government depart
ments. One official of the department has esti
mated that there are more than one hundred ens
ployes who have left their ninetieth birthday be
hind them.
BONDING CONCERNS PLEA.
Acknowledge Rate Agreement, but
Oppose Legislation.
(From The Trlbun* Boh 1
traaMncton. June 29. — Representatives of the
srreat bonding companies of th* country made a pl»a
against any legislation which would decrease their
rates at a hearing before Hie Committee on Appro
priations to-day. Although 'hey put forth their
strongest arguments, present indications are that
their vlst to Washington has been futile In fact,
it !.« probable that the only result of the hearing
to-day will - C c. that the nlted States government
•will e<-> !nto th» bonding and surety business so f*r
R.S Its own employes are concerned, and that the
bonding companies « '" have to look elsewhere for
their patronage.
•Wn«»n Representative T«wn»v. chairman of the.
Appropriations Committee, learned. nflrn* time ago,
that most of th» bonding committee* had practically
trebled their rate.-. he Immediately began an Inves
tigation, and came to the conclusion that there was
8 "gentlemen s agreement" between the various
concerns. This conclusion was borne out by the.
testimony presented to the committee to-day, and
that body expects to recomm»nd to the next Con-
Bjraaa that the government estanHsta a bonding fund
made up of deductions from the salaries of bonded
officrs from which all losses will be pain. In the
mean time a bill will be Introduced at th« present
session wnlch will provii*« that no officer shall pay
more for his bond than be did prior to 1999.

"TYPHOID MAEY" ASKS HER FP-EEDOUff
Woman Isolated on North Brother Island in
Court on Habeas Corpus.
Mary Mallon, who through her two years of Iso
lation on North Brother Island has oecbme known
»s "Typhoid Mary," appeared yesterday before
Justice Glegerich. in the. Supreme Court, on a writ
of habeas corpus to ask her freedom from soli
tary confinement. The Health Department has
k«T* her on the Island because, it -.-<., she la a.
menac* to the health of the community. £
The health authorities say that Miss Mama' 's
herself Immune from typhoid, but that she has
th» bacilli of the disease in her bod;/ and can
communicate it to others. She was formerly cook
for the family of J. Coleman Drayton. While she
was 'here three servants became sick with typhoid,
but th* unfortunate woman says that she was not
responsible .
Miss Mai lor -was a fad-faced figure as she ap
peared in court yesterday to ask her freedom, the
told of her dreary life. C n North Brother Island,
with only a dog as a companion. Even the hos
pital attendants, she Mid. shunned ha as they
would a leper.
'It's ridiculous to say I'm dangerous, said Miss
slallor. In court. The sickness of the Drayton ser
vants, she said, was only a coincidence, as she had
worked elsewhere without anybody getting sick
After hearing the Health Department's case. Jus
tice Olegerich adjourned the hearing until to-day
"But I don't want to go back." pleaded the
woman. "It's very lonely over there 1 never
speak to a soul. Three times a day a fool of a
nurse brings my meals on a tray, sets it down at
the door and then runs away '
But she had to go back to North Brother Tsland
until this morning. The doctors say that in four
or five places where "Typhoid Mary" worked the
servants became afflicted with the disease.

Statement of Treasury.
Washington, June 29. — Important changes in the
daily cash statement of the Treasury Department.
especially to correct discrepancies In publication of
balances, were announced to-day, to take effect
July 1, The published record of receipts and dis
bursements issued by the bookkeeping and war
rants division has never balanced with the dally
cash statement of the treasurer. The Treasury
Department in to-day's announcement says:
The discrepancy was due to the fact that the
bookkeeping and" warrants office recorded en the
dally statement transactions not yet completed,
while the Treasurer's office considered only transac
tions which were actually completed by payments
In cash This discrepancy has been corrected. The
data will hereafter come from one source, and the
daily statement of cash in the Treasury will ex
actly tally with the cash receipts and cash dis
bursement?. -„
brother important change in the dally statement
of the Treasury i* tne division of receipts and di?
bursements into three classes— (l) ordinary. & Pan
ama Canal and (3) public debt.
During the fiscal ear Just ending the excess of
ordinary disbursements over ordinary receipts will
approximate $60,000,000. The expenditures on ac
count of the Panama Canal 'about J31.000.000) will

Th» many cn]le?« graduate* that are turned "'it.

subjects of ridicule for the practical.

women under all .circumstance*. Always bear in
