Rhode Island Senator Presents . New

Washington, June 29--Wfth the
tariff schedules disposed Of and the
door locked against the present in
trusion of amendments upon them, the
Senate today finally entered upon the
consideration of the income and the
corporation tax question, as connected
with the tariff bill.
While the Senate was more than
four, hours In formally coming to the.
question of taxation of incomes, the
subject received more or less in%
dividual attention while the tea poo
vision was under consideration and IL
was during that stage of the proceed
ing that the most interesting occur
renee of the day took place. This was
the announcement of the real attf-
tude of Chairman Aljrich Of the
finance committee towards the corpora
tion tax provision which he had, In
troduced at the instance Of the presi-
dent.
1t had for some time been whispered
that the Rhode Island Senator had be-
come an advocate of tax on the
earnings of corporations as the most
effective means of defeating a gen.
eral income tax amendment to the
pending bill. Mr.. Aldrich's statement
today accorded with. these rumors.
He spoke in response to question
from Senator Clay, and in so many
words, confessed his advocacy OF the
corporation tax as a means OF defeat-
ing the income tax. He added another
