Washington, d. C. Especially -
President Taft sent to Congress a
message advocating that an amend
ment to the Constitution comforting
power to levy an income tax be sub
mitted. and that an amendment to
the tariff bill be passed imposing
upon all corporations and joint stock
companies, except national banks, an
excise tax of per cent. on their net
income.
Text OF The Message.
The text of the Presidents mes
sage is as follows. i
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
1T is the Constitutional duty of
the President from time to time to
recommend to the consideration of
Congress such measures as he shall
Judge necessary and expedient. In
my inaugural address, Immediately
preceding this present extraordinary
session of Congress, invited atten-
ton to the necessity for a revision of
the tariff at this session, and stated
the principles upon which / thought
the revision should be effected. I
referred to the then rapidly increas-
ing deficit and pointed out the OBJ
legation on the part of the trainers
pr the tariM bill to arrange the duty
so as to secure an adequate income
and suggested that il it was not DOS
sible to do so by import duties, new
kinds OF taxation must be adopted
and among them I recommended a
graduated inheritance tax as correct
In principle and as certain and easy
of collection.
Income Tax Proposed.
The louise of Representatives has
adopted the suggestion and has pro-
svided in the bill it passed for the
collection of such tax. In the SEN
ate the action of it's Finance Commit
tee and the course of the debate in
dictate that it may not agree to this
provision, and 1t is now proposed to
make up the deficit by the imposition
of a general income tax in form and
substance of almost exactly the same
character as that which in the case
of Pollock VS.. Farmers Loan and
Trust Company .(157 U. S. 429) was
held by the Supreme Court to be a
direct tax, and therefore not within
the power of the Federal Government
to impose, unless apportioned among
the several States according to popu-
lation.
Amendment Proposed.
The decision of the Supreme Court
in the income tax cases deprived the
National Government of a power
which,, by reason of previous de-
cisions of the Court, it was generally
supposed the Government had. It is
undoubtedly power the National
Government ought to have. 1t might
be indispensable to the natural life
in great crises. Although I have not
considered constitutional amend
ment as necessary to the exercise of
certain phases of this power, ma
ture consideration has satisfied me
that an amendment is the only prop
er course for it's establishment to its
full extent. | therefore recommend
to the Congress that both houses, by
two-third vote, shall propose an
amendment to the Constitution con-
ferring the power of levy an income
tax upon the National Government

CORPORATION TAX URGED
BY PRESIDENT TAFT
Desires Authority For Taxing Incomes
Would Amend the Constitution.

without apportionment among the
States in proportion to population.
sSecond-The decision in the Pol
lock case left power in the National
Government to levy an excise tax,
which accomplishes the same purpose
as corporation income tax, and is
free from certain objections urged to
the proposed income tax measure.
Suggests Excise Tax.
!, therefore, recommend an amend
ment to the tariff bill imposing upon
all corporations and joint stock COM
panies for profit, except national
banks -(otherwise taxed), savings
banks and building and loan ASSOC
citations. an excise tax measured by
2 per cent. on the net income of
such corporations. This is an ex-
else tax upon the privilege of doing
business as an artificial entity and
of freedom from general partner
ship liability enjoyed by those who
own the stock.
am informed that a 2 per cent.
tax OF this character would bring in
to the treasury of the United States
not less than. $4,000, 900.
The decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of the Spreckels
Sugar Refining Company against
McClain (l92 U. S., 397) seems
clearly to establish the principle that
such tax as this is an excise tax
upon privilege and not direct tax
on property and is within the Fed
eral power without apportionment
according to populations. The tax
on net income is preferable to one
proportionate to percentage of the
gross receipts because it is a tax
upon success, and not failure. It
imposes a burden at the source Of
the income at time when the cor
poration is well able to pay and
when collection is easy.
Brings Federal Supervision.
L Another merit of this tax is the
Federal supervision which must be
exercised in order to make the law
effective over the annual accounts
and business transactions Of all cor
porations. Willie the faculty of as
Stunning a corporate form has been
of the utmost utility in the BUSH
ness world, it 'is also true that sub
stantially all the abuses and all the
evils which have aroused the pub
lie to the necessity of reform were
made possible by the use of this very
faculty. know, by perfectly legiti-
mate and effective system of, taxa
ton, we are incidentally able to
possess the Government and the
stockholders and the public of the
knowledge of the real business
transactions and the gains and pro-
fits of every corporation in the
country, we have made a long step
toward that supervisory control of
corporations which may prevent a
further abuse of power.
; / recommend, then, first, the
adoption of a joint resolution by
two-thirds of both houses, proposing
to the States an amendment to the
Constitution granting to the Federal
Government the right to levy and
collect an income tax without ap-
portionment among the States ac-
cording to population; and, second,
the enactment, as part of the pend
ing revenue measure, either as
substitute for or in addition to, the
inheritance tax of an excise tax upon
all corporations, measured by per
cent. of their net income.

Honolulu Especially. - Forty-five
delegates from the Japanese Union
on the Island of Hawaii, representing
$4,000 laborers, have just concluded
session lasting four days and
nights. They resolved not to strike
nor help the Oahu strikers. but to
present a statement of their demands
and trust to the fairness of the
planters. They ask for 10-honr
day at one dollar, for time and
half for overtime work and on Sun
days and for quarters equal to those
of the Spaniards and Portuguese
These demands will be presented to

suit of the vigorous action of the
authorities the strikers are much de-
pressed.
The replevin suit brought to re-
cover the papers seized in the office
of the newspaper Jill by High Sheriff
Henry was dismissed. Japanese Con-
sui Uyeno is investigating the al
legged destruction of the safe of Edi-
tor Sega, of the Jill, which was bro.
ken open by the authorities.
Toxic Especially The report that
the Japanese of Hawaii had appealed
to Toxic, charging violation of treaty
rights as an outcome of the strike
agitation, in the islands, is based ups
on the fact that one of the agitators
who was arrested at Honolulu sent
a cablegram to a brother living IN
Japan requesting him to endeayor to
secure the intercession of the gov
eminent in his behalf. In spite OF
the fact that he knew 1t was USE
less, the brother conveyed the appeal
to the government.
A dispatch received here from the
japanese consul at Honolulu says the
strike situation is Improving, and
that all the men in the two districts
have returned to work. The strike,
the consul says, is result OF ag1.

the japanese, who have been trying
to persuade all their countrymen TIC

patch further asserts that they
would be able to increase wages, but
in reality their purpose was. to col.
