Seventy-five per cent of the answers approved his stand and a majority of a hundred and fifty replies, not including the "doubtfuls," were of the opinion that he would be re-elected.

CORPORATIONS A BIG BENEFIT TO EASTERN STATES

Commissioner Smith in Report Today Shows Concerns in Middle East Pay 51 Percent of Taxes. DOUBLE TAXATION IS BEING FROWNED UPON In Maryland it is Not Permitted and Other States May Follow Suit Report Interesting One. (American News Service) Washington, June 0. Corporations pay an average of 51 per cent, of the state taxes in the five middle Atlantic states and the District of Columbia, according to a report on the subject of Taxation of Corporations, submitted today to President Taft by Commissioner of Corporations Herbert Knox Smith. The percentage to total state taxes paid by corporations in the states covered in the reports Is: New York, 72; Delaware, 62; Maryland, 32; Dis trict of Columbia, 16. The report is the second of a series the first of which covered the New England states, where the average percentage of state taxes coming from this course is 57 2-3. 8ummary of Totals. The total paid by corporations in the middle Atlantic group in 1909 was $35,378,171, being heaviest on Pennsylvania, where it was $16,839,338, and lowest in Delaware, $292,506. . New York's figure was $9,442,933; New Jer sey's. $6,791,794, and the District of Columbia's, $903,195. In his letter of submissal, Commissioner Smith says: "There is shown here a marked tendency toward separate sources, of state and local taxa tion." - aware and New York, the balance of state revenues not obtained from corporations is chiefly obtained ' from other special sources not subject to local taxation. ' Double taxation is prohibited by constitution in Maryland. The letter continues: "Four states -New York, New 'Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware have substantial capital stock taxes. ' Pennsylvania's Is the largest, about $9,900,000; New Jersey's Is the most complete. New Jersey, by the attraction of its broad incorporation laws, derives 35 per cent, of the total state taxes from this on source, assessed in 1909, to over 11,000 corporations, largely doing business elsewhere. y New York's statute is decidedly complex; its rate Is graded according to market prices of stock, dividends paid and financial solvency." The inheritance tax. the commis sioner finds, is important only in New York, where it forms 24 per cent, of the state taxes, and in Pennsylvania, 7 per cent. "Manufacturing is favored," says the letter, "such companies are exempt from state taxation in Pennsylvania, and also in New York. New Jersey and Deleware, if conducting their business principally within the state. In Maryland they are subject to the cap ital stock tax. "In this entire group, as in New York," the letter concludes, "railroads and financial corporations are among the heaviest taxpayers, though . perhaps not to such a degree as in New England." BOYS GET SOAKING Members of the gang of boys, rang ing in age from 10 to 15, who usually make the court house grounds their loafing place after dusk were . given a good shower Saturday evening by one of the janitors of the court house. The boys were caught writing some objectionable phrases on the stones. The police will be appealed to unless the members of the gang deport them selves better hereafter. The former gang which inhabited the grounds was broken up last summer by the sen tencing of several of its members to the reformatory and the reform school. Drily Clrccktioa Reports Fcr tee Pdtedlcm.

Ex-President Roosevelt Sails For Home On Friday; v Great Reception in His Honor to Be Held in New York

His Ship Will Be Escorted Into Harbor By Monster Fleet A nd The Journey A long Broadway Will Be a Triumph Fit For a Conquering Roman Emperor. New York, June C. On Friday next Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will sail from Southampton, England aboard the steamship Kaiserln Auguste Victoria and begin the last leg of his wonderful and spectacular journey, which will end when the big ship docks in this harbor eight days later. Since he emerged from the African jungle the latter part of March he ha3 been the guest of nearly every European ruler, and honors have been conferred on him. which were never before accorded a private American citizen with the exception of ; General Grant. As a fitting climax to his triumphal tour, a monster reception has been planned by, representative citizens of the nation, and when the Colonel arrives on June 18, he will be welcomed by thousands of his countrymen from every section of the United States, representing all classes. Plans have been made on a most elaborate scale, and the reception promises to be as brilliant as the historical homecomeing of Admiral Dewey with his victor ious fleet. A parade of harbor craft, followed by a reception at Battery park, .where Mayor Gaynor will deliver the prlnci pal address and a triumphal march up Broadway and Fifth avenue to Fiftyninth street with the famous Rough Riders as an escort, are the principal features of the program. On account of his position as chief executive, President Taft will not be present, but a large number of senators and representatives together with the cabinet officers will be on hand. Organizations of every kind and description and from every part of the country will be present In a body and the citr will be overrun with thousands of visitors. Every available craft in New York harbor has chartered as early as the middle of .May and fiatboats- and scows are at a premium. Some of the larger organizations, such as the republican club of New York have chartered regular coast line steamers, on which to go down ' the bay and welcome the Colonel after his absence of fifteen months. - ' Although there will be many republican statesmen present, the reception will be strictly non-partisan in character. The reception committee is composed of three hundred of New York's leading citizens, both republican and democrats, and nothing of a political nature will be included In the program. According , to the present plans the vessel on which Colonel Roosevelt and his family will make the return journey across the , Atlantic, will reach quarantine at 9 o'clock on the morning of June IS. One hour before, a selected number of the reception com mittee will leave the Battery in a revenue cutter and will proceed to Quarantine where the Colonel and his family will, be taken off in a tug: Gaily decorated craft of every des cription have been chartered by clubs and private partise will line both sides of the harbor and after the cutter with the Coloned aboard passes by they will fall in the rear. Nearly every big craft in the harbor will have a band aboard, and the noisy procession will make its way up the harbor amid the screaming of whistles and the cheer ing of the crowds on the shores of Twenty-third street where they will turn round and steam hack to the Battery. ; . The Colonel will go ashore at the historic spot at the lower end of the island where he will receive a hearty welcome from the assembled i thous ands In an enclosure in the center of the park will be 200 distinguished guests, composed of senators, represen tatives, ambassadors, and numerous personal friends of the Colonel. Sur rounding this enclosure will be an other reserved space, which will be occupied by 2,500 prominent men and the members of the reception commit tees. The rest of the park will be open to the public Here Mayor Gaynor of . New York will formally welcome the Colonel to his native land, and several other brief speeches will be made by prominent men. It was orginally intended to conclude the reception with a monster parade, and invitations were issued to various organizations throughout the country. Within a few, days, however, the committe was flooded with so many appli cations that the parade feature had to be abandoned. Organizations from Maine to California and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes requested a place in the line of march, and if the project had been carried out, the procession would have extended from the Battery to the Harlem River and hack again. a distance of twenty miles, and the people who had travelled hundreds of miles to see Roosevelt would have been deprived of the pleasure. In order to overcome this obstacle so that no one would be offended, a unique arrange ment was adopted by the committee. All organizations that wished to par ticipate in the parade will be assigned certain blocks along the line of march; tor Instance one or two blocks will be

The procession itself will be a com paratively small one, and will be led by the mounted police of New York, who will be followed by the police band on foot. Then will come tlu escort of 600 Rough Riders under tht command of Robert Hunter, of Okla homa City, president of the organiza tion. Colonel Roosevelt will com next In a carriage, and his carriage will be followed by a long processio: HAROLD KAPP DEAD Former Richmond Young Man Was a Victim of Malignant Scarlet Fever.

SHIRTS

The other day' a salesman for one of the shirt and hat stores of this town called me over to where he was standing in the doorway. "I wish you would come in and look at these shirts. There are some beauties in here just what you were looking for, when you were in here before." - ' ' ....... . t "Are they any particular sort?" I asked. "Yes, they are mohair shirts with those turn back cuffs that you were. looking for. We haven't very many of them and I called you in to make your selection." '. . v ' They were mighty good, looking shirts, and I had in mind the days when I would want to take my coat off. I hesitated. "How much are they?" " . "This Is $2.00; this one $2.50, - and this one is $3.00. But I'll tell you you needn't be afraid of buying them because of the price. They are honestly made and you won't have trouble with the buttons. '. They are meant to be laundered without any starch and you can have them done at home. They will look well and they scarcely have to be Ironed." I bought the shirts. .

The man was a good salesman. . ' . " " HE KNEW WHAT WAS IN MY MIND AND TOLD ME WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW. I BOUGHT THE SHIRTS. That man can get a job anywhere and earn his salt. HE MAKES MONEY FOR HIS EMPLOYER. After leaving the store I wondered how it was that with such a good ' salesman and such a good stock, the store was not crowded. I WONDERED WHY IT WAS THAT THE SALESMAN HAD TIME TO COME OUT AND TELL ME ABOUT THOSE SHIRTS. THiJ PLACE OUGHT TO HAVE MORE TRADE. I AM GOING BACK THERE THE NEXT TIME I THINK THEY HAVE SOMETHING I WANT IF I THINK OF IT. . If that SALESMAN COULD GO INTO EVERY HOME IN WAYNE COUNTY EVERY TIME HE HAD SOMETHING NEW wouldn't it pay? When I thought the thing over I asked our business manager ' how much advertising the man used. ' , "He has a email contract; he uses his space very irregularly, and he doesn't say much in his copy. He says his things are "nobby" or "nifty," and lets it go at that. He only uses 500 inches and KB DOESN'T TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO KNOW," I am going to tell that man the next time I see him that IF HE HAD TOLD ME IN HIS ADVERTISEMENTS WHAT HE TOLD ME INSIDE THE STORE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN" THERE LONG AGO. '

I am going to tell Mm that I BELIEVE IF HE WOULD FOLLOW THE LINES THAT HIT ME WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO ME HE WOULD GET BIG RESULTS. I know that the Palladium goes into nearly every home in Wayne county BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE IT AND BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN IT. THEY BELIEVE IN IT BECAUSE WE GIVE THEM REASONS FOR EVERYTHING WB SAY. THAT IS WHT THE LARGEST CIRCULATIO! IN ' THE SIXTH DISTRICT HAS BEEN BUDLT CF. THAT IS THE REASON IT IS OF MORE VALUE TO THB ADVERTISER. Advertise It always does good to ten people ebout your things. YOU CANT RUN OUT IN THE STREET AFTER YOUR CUSTOMERS AND BUILD UP A BIO BUSINESS. I believe that man will use more advertising, that be will put better selling talk into his copy and that he will use more space in the Palladium. He has the goods and the salesman AND THESE IS ONLY- ONE WAY TO GET CUSTOMERS. - - - -
