ALDRICH URGES INCOME TAX ON CORPORATIONS Taf t's Scheme Supported as a Temporary Method and . Hint Takes Charge Tillman's Proposed Tariff on Tea Defeated in Senate " : 1 by Vote of 55 to 18 Senators Deluged by Pleas To Reject Corporation Tax ; WASHINGTON, June 29. — A flood i of telegrams, nearly equaling that . which swamped the wires during \ the anti-railroad pass fighf, is [ pouring in upon senators In oppo sition to the corporation tax bill. Most of the telegrams come from i persons Interested in building and !; Joan associations, but practically ! every character of corporation is , represented. In view of the vehement tone of ; t"he protests, and the fact that the \ telegrams "are- from businessmen i highly respected in their commu- n ities. some senators pledged to vote for the administration pro 1 gram said today that they felt ' pome concern as to the wisdom of ! ; their course. >V \ Unless there is a change of senti- J ment throughout the country it" would not surprise many members i of congress if the corporation tax ! should be abandoned in conference" \ and the Inheritance tax feature, \ which was adopted by the house," | should be restored. WASHINGTON*. June 29.— With the tariff schedules disposed of and the fioor locked against the present intru sion of amendments, the senate today began consideration of the income and corporation tax questions as connected with the tariff bill. \u25a0 The question of taxing incomes re ci-;ved attention while the tea provision was under consideration, and it was then that the most Interesting occur rences of the day took place. This was the announcement of AldHlch's real attitude toward the corporation tax . provision which he had Introduced at the instance of President Taft. \u25a0It had been reported that Aldrich >.ad become an advocate of a tax on \u25a0 the earnings of corporations as the :nost effective means of defeating a, 1 general income" tax. Aldrich stated his own position, which was in accord- ; er.ee with the rumors. He confessed his advocacy of the corporation tax as .. means of defeating- the income tax. fROPOSALXOT A SUBTERFUGE r Aldrich also said he thought for the next year or two there would be a doficit in the treasury receipts, which he was willing to have made good by the income from the proposed corpora tion tax. With this duty performed .he thought the law could and would be materially modified, if not entirely re pealed. This declaration was seized upon by the democrats as a confession that the corporation tax was a mere subterfuge to destroy the income tax. Aldrich denied, however, that he had intended to. characterize the corporation tax as a. subterfuge. With only one amendment providing for a duty of 10 cents a pound on tea pending, it was supposed that the tariff schedules would soon be disposed of. Tillman pressed 1 so hard and so long for his provision that it was after 2 o'clock before a vote was taken. His tea amendment was lost, 55 to 18. LOPGB AGAINST INCOME TAG When the income tax question was 'formally taken up .Lodge moved as a substitute for Bailey's straight income tax proposition a measure providing for countervailing duties against coun tries imposing duties on articles ex ported to the United States. Aldrich immediately moved the corporation tax provision as an amendment to the Lodge measure, thus giving the corpo ration tax the position of a "third de gree" amendment, beyond which no further amendment can be offered In the senate. Flint, who will have charge of the corporation tax provision, spoke at some length in explanation of the pro vision and was followed by Dixon, who advocated the retention of the inherit ance tax provision in preference to any of the income tax measures. Flint expressed the opinion that at the rate of 2 per cent on the net earn ings of the corporations of the country the revenues would be augmented to fsie extent of 540,000,000 or $50,000,000. Kran placed the figure at $100,000,000. Cummins began a speech. in support of an income tax, but had not concluded when the senate adjourned. ALDRICH CHANGES ESTIMATES During Cummins' comment on the re c ipts and expenditures of the govern ment Aldrich declared that with addi tional revenue to be provided by the corporation- tax he would be greatly surprised if there is a. deficit next year. His estimates of expenditures for the present year when the tariff bill' was reported to the senate, he said, were about 59,000.000 too high, and he .had, he said, congratulated himself^ that he had estimated within $2,000,000 of the annual receipts. The deficit for the present year, he added, would be about $60,000,000. Again he declared that if the tariff bill becomes a law in Its present form that it would next year produce an in come of $350,000,000. FLINT SPEAKS FOTI COM3IITTEE Flint said the finance committee had not been united on the question as to whether it would be necessary to have revenues in addition to those produced by the pending bill. The committee had «-onsidered not only a corporation, but also an income, tax, law as supplement ary to the tariff, and had decided it would be unwise to pass such an in come tax bill as either, of those intro duced by Bailey and Cummins. The committee had, he said, abandoned the Idea of an inheritance tax, because such a tax was so largely imposed by states, and they did not wish by. making a double tax to have It become burden^! *hmc. i Ly Aldrich and Flint agreed that where Yjilding and loan associations arc properly "corporations for profit" they .vouid be subject, to the tax. Flint will be in ohargeof the tarift bill tomorrow, as Aldrloh" plans to leave the city for a few days' recreation. Will He Make the Hazard? BOKE SHOWS WORK OF JUSTICE LEAGUE Californian in East Tells of the Fight on Graft in This City [Special D'upalch to The Call] CHICAGO. June 29. — The success of San Francisco's flgrht against organized civic graft was credited -to -the volun teer work of an organization of repre sentative men and women of that city, knoTvn as the League of Justice, by Beorge H. Boke, professor of taw at the University of California, who stopped In Chicac:* today on his way to ths coast. ; Incidentally Professor Fiokc seemed much interested in the long se ries of bomb outrages that have shaken Chicago for the last two , years. He compared the bomb throwing to a se ries, similar In some respects, to that which threatened San Francisco during the graft investigation two years ago, but which were solved by Detective "W. J. Burns. * "Burns, almost singled handed, solved the mystery of our city's two dynamite explosions," said the visitor, "and it was no simple plot* either. But I think any other good detective if given the backing of a representative body of citizens could do the same in any city similarly cursed." Professor Boke's statement followed a declaration made by Pere L. Wlckes, Chicago manager of the Pennsylvania casualty company, who said that insur ance on plate glass in Chicago might be stopped as a result of the bomb throw ers' activity. Mr. Wlckes said: "The police protection Is so lax and the bomb outrages recur so frequently that we simply can't accept plate glass window business on the same basis as hitherto. The people .of .every other city In the country, would rise up In their might and put a stop to such out rages. It is a disgrace to Chicago." TWO FORTY-NINERS OF CALIFORNIA PASS AWAY Israel L.

It would.be sold on the market under a misapprehension, notwithstanding the Intention of congress to legislate against all . whisky that was not genuine. Carlisle devoted'most of his' atten tion to reviewing the legal decisions in support of his argument.
