Elkins Says He viii Have Something

Matter VIII Keep Congress
After August I.

Washington, June 2l.@President
Taft is decidedly optimistic over the
outlook for his corporation tax, but a
number of senator's who called at the
White House today declared the prop
osition would keep the senate in Sos
sion until long past August first
Elkins was one of the presidents
callers and he declared that he and a
number of other senators would have
some remarks to make IN the senate
when the new scheme of taxation is
under consideration The West Vir-
ginia senator believes that all corpor-
ations would attmept in some manner
to avoid rhe payment Of the tax
Additional salaries and all manner of
expenditures would be resorted to he
thinks.
The president does not believe the
two per cent on the net earnings Is
heavy enough to make any of the lar
ger corporations resort to evasive
measures. Attorney General Wicker
sham and Senator Root are jointly
preparing to draft tine new law.
There seems now 20 be little doubt
that the corporation tax as passed
will exempt the net earnings OF $4,000
and less so as tn take any undue
burdens off the smaller corporations.
This is the understanding at the White
House and apparently is the plan OF
the senate leaders.
