How It W01 Be Applied Toy the Gov-
ernment
The New "York Journal of Commerce
condenses the orders of the Treasury
Department as to the levying and col
lecting of the corporation tax.' and
the gist of the publications Is given
herewith:
Corporations have been divided Into
six classes, and the following deOnlr
tlons adopted:
- 1. (a) Banks and other financial in
stitutions. Gross income consists or
the gross revenue derived from the
operation and management of the bus
iness and property of the corporation
making the return, together with all
amounts of income (Including divi
dends received on stock of other cor
porations. Joint stock companies, and
associations subject to the tax) de

lea. and associations subject to this
tax) derived from all other sources as
shown by the entries on Its books from
January 1 to December 81 of the year
for which return Is made.
' Relating to statutory deductions the
regulation Is to the effect that the
deductions authorized shall include all
expense items under the various heads
acknowledged as liabilities by the cor
po ration making the return and en
tered as such on its books from Jan
uary 1 to December SI of the year for
wmcn return is made. It will appear.
therefore, that the return is to be
made up from the ledger and not the
cash book, and that entry on the led
ger from January 1 to December 81 of
the J ear for which i return is made is
the evidence which will determine
whether or not .an Item Is to be taken
account or in making the return.
It is believed by Secretary MacVeagh
that this - interpretation furnishes a
practical working method by which
the amount of Income subject to the
tax can be fairly and Justly determined
In every case.
Of course In administering a law
applying to so many taxpayers (lists
prepared dv collectors show something
over 400.000 corporations which will
have to make returns) some of the re
turns will be inaccurate. The causes
of Inaccuracy will be two: First, hon
est .error; second, willful intent to de
fraud the government of revenue. If
an honest error is made In calculating
the return for one year it will be cor
rected If possible, and even if not cor
rected "in one year it would more than
probably correct Itself later. Where
fraudulent purpose Is discovered vig
orous prosecution will follow. This
bureau feels that In dealing with the
Incorporated business of the countrj
It Is dealing. In the main with honest
men. However, the regulations ar
drawn sufficiently rigid to restrain
anyone who does not measure up t
this standard.
The regulations do not call for spe
cifllc methods of keeping accounts or
any particular method of bookkeeping,
the requirement is simply that the
transaction be so recorded that accur
ate returns can be made therefrom and
verified" when necessary.
In many corporations, mercantile
and manufacturing particularly. -an in
ventory, or its equivalent. Is essential
at the close of each calendar year. The
law specifically states that the tax
shall be collected for the calendar year
and no return for any other period can
be accepted. Provision Is however
made for preparing returns for the
present year, when no Inventory or
equivalent was taken at close of last
calendar year. Provision is made for
a method of fairly determining amount
of loss and depreciation claimed: also
for a fair adjustment of profit or loss
In case of sale of capital assets ac
quired prior to January 1. 190: also for
properly accounting for materials and
supplies, etc
Great numbers of communications
have been received relative to the pub
licity clause. While there Is appar
ently some Inconsistency between the
two paragraphs of the law relating to
making public the information re
ceived, the language of the law relat
ing to filing returns for record, and
public Inspection is so clear that the
Bureau of Internal Revenue has no
discretion whatever in the matter.
The forms and regulations will go to
the collector of each district, who will
send copies of the blanks and a copy
of the regulations to every corporation
whose name and address the collector
has been able to secure. Failure to
receive the blanks or any notice rela
tive thereto will not excuse a corpora
tion from making the return required
by law. nor will it relieve it from pen
alties for failure so to do. If copies
of blanks and regulations are not re
ceived on or about January 1. applica
tion should be made to the collector
In whose district the principal office
of the corporation Is located, so that
the return can be In the hands of the
collector by the time required in the
statute.

WORCESTER IS WET
CHANGES FROM TWO YEARS OF
XO LICENSE BY MAJORITY OF
3,720 VOTES.
Worcester. Mass.. Dec. 15. With ai
lanosiiue vote the people of Worces
ter, the largest no license city In the
world, decided yesterday for the re
turn of the saloon by a majority of
3.7-40. as aealnst the no license ma
jority last year of 200. The landslide
tor license was big enough to cause
even the most "rabid liquor man in the
city to wonder how It happened, and
although during the campaign all
Kinos of predictions were made, no
one believed that license would win at
all.
It was evident that spellbinders for
and against the open saloon had noth
ing to do with the majority that was
Piied up yesterdav. and that the peo
ple of Worcester had decided that the
speak easy and the unlawful dive were
worse than the open saloon. The vote
showed that the people have tired of
prohibition and are' anxious to return
to the open saloon and to the lawful
sale of liquor in regularly licensed
places.
James Logan. Republican candidate
for re-election as Mayor, and one of
the strongest advocates of prohibition
In the State of Massachusetts, defeat
ed his opponent by a majority of 3,
832. "I regret exceedingly to see Worces
ter go for license," he said. "but. if
that is the will of the teople I prom
ise that the license law will be enforc
ed, and enforced to the very letter.
All the licenses allowed by law will be
granted by me. but the holders of them
must live up to the Jaw or have them
taken away. They had better remem
ber that."
The license question was voted on in
fourteen other cities of Massachusetts
yesterday. Last year the no-license
majority for the fifteen cities. Includ
ing Worcester, was 8.925. ' This ma
jority was cut to 2.197 by yesterday's
vntft. Pftlpm however weVit 'bArle to
no-license by 500 votes, after a year of!
license. The other cities remain as
they were a, year ago on the license
question, ,
HEALTH OFFICER
FAYORS TRAINED
NURSE FOR SCHOOLS
The report of Health Officer E. A.
McLellan read at the meeting of the
Board of Health last night contained
the following:
"Scarlet fever continues to furnish
much work for the department. The
work of tracing the sources of In fee
tlon in the schools is very improper
ly done owing to lack of time. It
should be done thoroughly. This is
the point of attack upon the disease
that In my Judgment would give the
largest results. The sources of In
fection are in the unrecognised cases
of scarlet fever that are always pres
ent in the community. I have en
deavored to have the teachers give
the children who have been absent
from school for a day or two careful
Inspection and questioning on their
return to school. Teachers however,
are not trained in this kind of work.
Kurthermore their regular duties oc
cupy all of their time and should not
be added to. If we cannot have
regular school Inspection for lSlOthe
department should certainly be fur
nished with money to employ a regu
lar trained nurse to give her whole
time to. visiting the schools, to fer
reting out sources of. infection of the
communicable disease and discovering
and reporting physical defects that
Interfere with the scholars progress
ing the schools. The nurse shall also
vleit families in some Instances and
give elementary instruction in the
yare of children.
"We owe the rising generation a
duty, which for the sake of our city
and state we must not shirk, that of
giving the very best possible equip
ment possible for the struggle of
life."
During the summer months Dr.
McLellan suggested that the nurse
might endeavor to lessen the numoer
of children "annually sacrificed to
bad management and to errors of
("let."
During November there were 39
cases Of scarlet fever reported to the
department- Of these 2 died. Out of
11 cases of diphtheria 3 died. Tuber
culosis claimed 8 lives and measles
and erysipelas each caused the death
of one.
The suggestion as to the trained
nurse was favorably commented up
on by the members of the board. An
appropriation for nurse will be asked
for in "case a. doctor for medical in
spection of schools Is again refused
as it was last year.

TAFT OUT FOR
CIVIL PENSIONS
Taking advantage of the presence of
the largest assembly of representative
business and professional men New
Haven has ever seen gathered together
at a. banquet, at the annual dinner of
the Chamber of Commerce In the Tale
Unlverelty dining hall last night. Pres
ident William Howard Taft set forth
several Important announcements of
his position on matters of national Im
port that made his address of vital in--tereet,
- M , .
He came out fairly and squarely In
favor of the idea, of civil pensions to
take care of the superannuated mem
bers of government departments, bas
ins; his support of this on purely busi
ness grounds as absolutely requisite to
the necessary plan that he set forth
for obtaining economy in business ad
ministration through the avoidance of
duplication In work done for the gov
ernment and the obtaining of the high
est possible unit of efficiency from
each employe. ,
The President also favored the in
troduction of a system of gradation
in the charges for second class mall
matter so as to avoid the deficit which
that class of the government's mall de
partment is showing, and he also In
sisted strongly on the cutting down of
expenditure wherever possible, but
never at the expense of crippling or
cramping' the necessary growth of the
functions of government in order to
reduce those benefits which it is the
belief today a government should con
fer upon its people. . '
Besides President Taft. the other
speaker was President Arthur T. H ad
ley of Tale in place of Gov. Hughes of
New York, who was unable to leave
the bedside of his father at Albany.
In his address President Hadley said
there were two sets of problems with
which the government had to deal:
Those which should be decided by spe
cialists and those which should be de
cided by the people. - Of the latter he
Instanced slavery, the relations be
tween State and Nation and the an
nexation of the Philippines. But, he
said currency taxation of the rail
roads, and the tariff require expert
advice If the government is to be
more than a piece of wastful bung
ling. -
In the proper separation and co-ordination
of these two depends the suc
cess of the government and the future
of the (Democracy. If the people leave
everything to the experts. Democracy
dies of dry rot. If they try to do
everything themselves it results in
deeds of violence like those of the
French Revolution.

two bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy.
It cured me of a severe case of kidney

K. OF C. CHAPTER
PLAN TO UNITE
New Haven, Dec 15. A movement
is on foot among local Knights of
Columbus to consolidate all the New
Haven councils into one or two great
councils, the object being greater
unity of purpose, economy and the
general strengthening of the organ
ization locally. One definite object of
the proposed consolidation is the ac
quisition, or erection of a common
K. of C. club house, which is a long
cherlsued object of all local Knights.
While there is a fund being accumu
lated towards that purpose, this fund
Is not progressing at a very rapid
rate, amounting now to about $2,000.
As the proposed consolidation would
mean great economy to all councils
and it is estimated that from reduc
tion of expenses alone from $700 to
$1,000 could be saved per annum.this
money could be applied to the club
house fund which would hurry the
realisation immensely.

Dirigible Ship to

on King's Palace
(Special from United Press.)
Paris, Dec 15. Preparations were
practically completed today for the
Paris to London cruise In the huge
Clement-Bayard dirigible ballooon call'
ed the "Dreadnaught of the Air." The
big airship Is assembled and is only
awaiting profitable weather. It Is In
tended to bring the balloon at Worm
wood. England and an officer is now
there training a crew of men in the
art of handling such an air craft.
Lieutenant Osborne, of the Royal
Navy, -will guide the ship' after the
English Channel is reached. An elec
tric searchlight for signalling passing
ships is part of the balloon's equip
ment. The builders of the balloon hope to
prove in this flight that the world's
metropolis would be at the mercy of
a fleet of invading airships in the
events of war. It is intended to

MAKING MERRY.
At Mealtime, Means Good Appetite,
Good Digestion, Good Cheer, Good
Heart and Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Do Yon Use Them? If not, Why?
DYSPErSIA is the skeleton at the
feast; the death's head at the festive
board. It turns cheer Into cheerless.
piees, gaity Into gloom and festivity
into farce, it is the ghost In the
heme, haunting every room and hit
ting at every fireplace, making other
wise merry people shudder and fear.
If there is one disease more than an
other that should be promptly at
tacked and worsted, it is DYSPEPSIA.
It Is the very genius of unhappiness.
unrest and ill nature. In time it will
turn the best man almost into a dem
on of temper and make a good worn
an something to be dreaded and
avoided.
it is estimated that half of one's
troubles in this world comes of a
stomach gone wrong of Dyspepsia,in
snort, f oods taken into the stomach
?.nd not properly cared-for; converted
nto substances that the system has
no use for and hasn't any notion
what to do with. It Is Irritated and
vexed, pained and annoyed, and in a
little while this state or things be
comes general and directly there Is
"something bad to pay." The whole
system is in a Mate of rebellion and
yearns to do something rash and dis
agreeable and a. fine case of Dyspen
sia is established and opens up lor
pusiness.
If you were bitten by a mad dosr.
ou would not lose a day in Koine to
a cure; do you know you should be
lust as prompt with Dyspepsia? Rab
ies is a quick death, dyspepsia is a
slow one; this Is about all the differ
ence. There is a' cure for rabies, and
so tnere is ror Dyspepsia and one
cure was about as difficult to discover
as the other. Pasteur found out one
and the F. A. STUART COMPANY
the other, and it is no longer a sec
ret, as it is made public in the won
derful Tablet, which so many are
using and praising today. One writer
says or it:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are lit
tie storehouses of digestion which mix
with the stomach Juices, digest food,
retinge the mucous membrane and
Its nerve centers, give to the blood a
great wealth of digestive fluids, pro
mote digestion and stays by the
stomach until all its duties are com
plete." Some cures are worse than the dis
ease; they demand This. That and the
Other and the patient despairs at the
requirements; but not so with the
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablet: they are
easy and pleasant to take and no
nausea or ill feelinsr follows. There
is none of this "getting all-over-the-mouth"

Judging from the large number of

the new conductors who are breaking

is learning how to direct strangers in

and it is only the old conductors who

A prominent- Main street merchant
who is a member of the Taxpayers.
League, was surprised one evening last ,
week to learn that Henry Lee had
signed the car barn surrender several
months ago. He said that if he had -known
it he would't have voted for
him. "But haven't you read the local
newspapers?" he was asked. . ; .
"I don't really have the time," re
plied the merchant. "I give all my
newspaper reading time to my New
York papers. You know I am greatly
Interested in Governor Hughes. I fol
low his every move." ' .
Is there any wonder that Main street'
is full of excavations when a promi-.

by the delightful facial adornment of
the Governor of New York.

One member of - the - Taxpayers -League
in East Bridgeport won't even
provide a good sidewalk in front of hia
property for people to walk on. He
was served with an order by the city
but he twas aware that the city had
no money to do the work if he did
not do it. and the result is that the
people are wading through mud when,
they pass his property. Other taxpay
ers who have walks say they would
not belong to an organization with
such a type of citizen.
If you want to know why the per
manent paved streets are so muddy
just cast your eye around and you will
see that the mud comes from the dirt
streets which intersect. The wheels
of all manner of vehicle track the mud
which dies out and pulverizes to be
