SPECIAL TAXES ARE OFF BILL

EXCISE AND CORPORATION TAX FAVORED IN ORDER NAMED. Taft Will Sign Tariff Measure if it Will Produce the Needed Revenue. Washington, April 21. There will be neither inheritance, corporation nor income tax in the tariff bill which finally receives President Taft's signature provided that it be shown clearly on argument that the bill will produce sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of the government. Amid all of the conflicting statements as to the president's attitude toward the Payne bill and the Aldrich substitute, it can be said on authority 'that Mr. Taft's chief desire is to secure first a tariff bill that will contain a maximum of reductions in the interests of the people. Coequal with this desire, is, of course, that of having a bill which wili produce the needed revenue. Only after this, and when it has been demonstrated clearly that a bill in the interests of the people cannot be drawn which will at the same time produce the needed revenue, will recourse bt lad to special tax, and then tht various propositions will be con sidered in this order; an inherit ance tax, along the lines of the Payne bill; an excise tax on the net profits of corporations, and finally, but only as a last resort an income tax. Open to Argument. This is the frame of mind of the president just now. Without raving changed his mind as to he merit of an inheritance taxno arguments having 'acted toj destroy his faith in it, as the wisest proposition that has been made along the lines of special taxation the president is open to argument. The president believes that ar gument and co-operation wit' treasury experts careful calculations and .thorough threshing over of all the schedules will enable congress pretty closely to approximate the total amount of revenue that will be produce 1 by a bill. After that, when it comes ime for him to append his sig nature to the measure, he will be guided largely by the face value of the schedules; but this im portant consideration will also have weight with him; namely, that if a tariff bill becomes a law by June .10 there will be ample time rjefore congress acram as sembles in December to observe the practical workings of the new tariff. Then, if it be found that calculations went astrav, and that the bill., with the practice of a wise economy, does not produce the needed revenues, there will be time to enact a law that will embody one of the special tax features that he has in mind. No Treasury Deficit. In the meantime, government experts agree with the president that there is no danger of the treasury running so far behind as to exhaust the reserve. On the question ot economy the presi dent is absolutely at one with the attitude taken by Senator Aid rich in the senate debate on Mon day. ine president is hard at work now with his cabinet mem bers devising ways and means of cutting down expenses. There will be no slap dash economies. But out of his experience as secretary of war, the president is convinced that, without cutting down the army or in any way imparing its efficiency, the wnr department can economize to the extent of $5.000,000 each year. Similarly, the president is known to believe that a like saving can lie affected in the navy department without any abandonment of the present io!icy of keeping the navy up to the highest point of efficiency. Navy officers, in fact, are quoted as saying that the new plan of reorganization of the department will save the government .$5,000,000 annually. . . In other., departments of tht government, .'' the - president - be Jives similiar economics can be practiced. He has informed call ers recently that no persons can be spared, and no pastimes will be allowed to interfere with this widespread policy. At the same time the president is not san guine that any enormous saving can be made. This country is errowing all the time and it is natural that expenditures shouk increase. Middleton Will Pitch. Manager Wm. Ormond of the Plymouth base ball team, ist in receipt of a letter from Pitcher J. B. Middleton, saying that he would be in Plymouth in a few days and expected to pitch for the Plymouth team this season Middleton pitched a game for the South Bend Central Leaguers Monday, and won. it was thought by local fans that 'he might remain in the South Bend team. His coming to Plymouth however seems assured. ADVERTISED LETTERS Geo. Rhodin Howard Parker J. Klockner Ellsworth Weaver Miss Bessie Fuller Miss Pearl Thompson Mrs. P B Dickson Mrs. Rebecca Perry J.

THE LEMON BOX

A special meeting of the city council was held Fridav evening' o consider a question pertaining o the fire department. It is said hat someone mentioned to the council that there are too many short-legged members in the de partment, and requested that aclon be taken to cull these out. It was argued that they cannot run fast enough and always ride on he wagons, hindering the horses. and other able-bodied firemen etc Messrs. Benjamin Switzer, and James Langdonsfent Sunday evening basking in the smiles of fair lady friends at Argos, 7 miles south of this city, Jimmie says tha th'ey were rained on separate and distinct times, twice going, and once coming. Ben says he has forgotten whether they got wet or not. Anvway the aforementioned smiles were well worth the sacrifice. On the way back Ben dreamed that the engagement of his old friend Fred Blubaugh, had been announced that day. At least one resident ot Plvmouth did not care whether Lent continued or not. Mr. Edward Davis, who helps with the jani tor work at the Episcopal church, as one of his duties was required to build the hres in that church on the evenings during the Len ten period, when services were held. Ed forgot what Easter was for, and last Wednesday went to the church, built a nice fire and had all of the lights going. He was about to ring the bell in th parish house, when the rector ap peared and informed him that the time of fasting and abstainence was over, in fact had been since the Sunday before. Edward says that he will bet that he don't make that mistake next year. Jt 1 The off hand acts of charity are so scarce in this age, that when one appears, mention must be made of it. Friday morning, a carpenter in the employ of .Mrs. J. N. W ilson, went to the home of F. A. Forbes, and noticthat the porch oft that house needed a little remodeling, at once set to work, reolacincr boards in the floor of the porch. and setting up a couple of new posts. Later it was discovered that Mrs. Wilson intended for the carpenter to make the repairs on the residence two houses east of the Presbyterian church, instead of the second house south of the church. Upon investiga tion, it is found that the second house east of the Presbyterian church is occupied by L. G. Harley, and is the nronertv of Mrs. Wilson. Funny what a difference one little word can make, isn't it? Mr. Alden Hill spent Satufdav afternoon rigging up his iointcd pole and fishing tackle for a trip to Donaldson Sunday. The trip was made and Alden found a shady nook on the bank of a near by creek, where he cast forth his bait. In two hours the fisherman had made a surprising catch, ac cording to his narration. Eleven of the finest bass, ranging from two to six pounds in weight, were on the stringer. Then he concluded that enough was enough, and not seeking to rob the creek of all of its fish, he prepared to start for Donaldson, lit reached into the water and secured his stringer. There were all of the nice fish. Just as he was about to pull them in however, the string slipped from his hand, and all of the fish fell into the creek. A monstrous turtle ?ame up just then, and swallowed the whole lot, thus preventing recapture. And that was why Alden returned to Plymouth this morning, with fishing tackle, but no fish.

PARTNERS MUST FILE PAPERS

That the men doing business in Plymouth have not compiled with the new 1009 statute requiring them to file certificates with the county clerk and that there is a posstbility that many Plymouth business men are ansvverxble under the new partnership statute, is a statement made at the office of the county clerk Monday. The new law requires that partners or members of firms file certificates with the clerk and that these certificates be kept in alphabetical order by that officer. Only a few of the partnerships and firms in this city so far have compiled with this law. The full text of the law follows; "Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of the state of Indiana, That any person or persons conducting or transactin c: business in this state under any name, designation or title other than the real name or names of the person or persons conducting or transacting ' such business, whether individually or" as a firm or partnership, shall file in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the coun'ty, in LET US SAVE 200 LIVES THIS YEAR FROM MENINGITIS Meningitis kills 450 persons on the average every year in Indiana. Dr. Flexner of 'the Rockefeller Institute has discovered a serum which cures the disease. This serum has been well tested; it is harmless, and no dangers attend its administration. Its use will reduce the death rate over one-half. This result has been repa ted ly obtained. The Flexner Anti-Meningitis Serum is not yet for sale on the market, and can be obtained for nothing by any practiftioner who will apply to Dr. W. D. Hoskim: of Indianaixlis, or IV) Dr. Homer Wooley of Bloom ington. Both of these physicians are professors in the Medical Department of the Indiana University. The Rockefeller Institute, endowed with $10,000000 by Mr. Rockefeller was created for the purpose of studying and investigating infectious and contagious diseases. This triumph of the Institution through Dr. Flexner over meningitis, is of vast import to the world.

Doubtless, the State will eventually supply this serum free to the poor, as it now supplies diphtheria antitoxin. The strong will be glad to pay for it. The discovery, like all great scientific discoveries, is free to the world. To save 200 lives from meningitis in Indiana the coming year, the people must not only permit the use of the An'ti-meningitij serum, but must demand that it be used. It is hoped that its use will not be delayed as was the case with diphtheria -antitoxin. Versatile Editor Fails. The Wolf Lake Trolley ha suspended. Its publisher was the Rev. R. B. Wood, known over the entire northern part of Indiana as the most versatile editor. He could preach a sermon, write an editorial, deliver a lecture, gather news items, get up a remonstrance or crank a hand press but couldn't make the Trolley pay. An effort is being made by citizens of that village to get the paper started and on its feet again. A. L. Porter of Culver, was a Plymouth Caller Friday on busi ness.

WARSHIPS TO TURKEY 2 UNITED STATES CRUISERS SENT TO PROTECT AMERICANS. No News of Immediate Danger to Missionary and Other Interests. Washington, April 21. To afford all protection possible to American citizens and their interests in Turkey the administration has decided to dispatch a special cruiser squadron to that country. This was decided upon by the cabinet today. It was explained that this action was not taken because of any particularly alarming news that had been received, but simply as a precautionary measure, it being deemed wise in the present emergency to have suitable American naval representation in or near the disturbed districts. The moral effect of the presence of American war vessels will be very beneficial, U is pointed ut;",v - The squadron will consist of the armored cruisers North Carolina and Montana, now at puantanamo, Cuba, under command of Captains Marshall and Reynolds. Their immediate objective point will be Alexandretta, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey,, which is in close proximity to Tarsus and Adana, where serious trouble has occurred. From Alexandretta the marines on these vessels may be available for any active work in assisting Americans in trouble in the surrounding districts. Captain Marshall, who will be in command of the squadron, will report to the American consul at Alexandretta for any services that he may be called upoa to. perform. The principal information coming to the department today from Ambassador Lershman at Constantinople was that there was no indication of any premeditated attack upon foreigners. The department has taken steps to insure protection to American missionary and other interests. Rochester Lands Big Meet.
