WILL DISCUSS SCOPE
OF CORPORATION TAX
Expected That Possibility of CURLING Trusts Will Con
sumo Large Portion of Discussion in the
Senate Debate on Bill.
By JOHN SNURE.

! using the taxing power to drive rail-
roads out OF any business except that
OF transportation. 1t was made clear
through the recent decision OF the Su-
preme Court in the commodities case
that the interstate commerce laws as
now framed do not work effectively to
shut railroad companies out of the coal
business. But IL the packers can be
driven by the taxing power out of the
tanning business. the question is why
cannot the railroads be driven out of
the coal business and confined sharply
to transportation.
Another phase of the corporation con-
troll question that viii arise will be the
use of the taxing power to drive out
the great trusts and monopolies.
If the corporation tax can be levied,
it is held by good lawyers a graduated
tax can be levied, and that, so far as
the law goes, there is nothing 10 prevent
assessment OF a great concern with net
earnings Of millions such per cent OF
tax as TO drive IL ont OF existence and
compel it to quit business, or, at least,
TO place ii at a disadvantage in COM
parison with small competitors and
weaker Independent concerns.
The United States Steel Corporation,
for instance. could be put at the mercy
of the Independents by such policy,
it is pointed out.
Senator Cummins OF Iowa discussed
the question OF how far the taxing
power could be used to regulate cor.
porations Senator Cummins Is opposed
to the corporation tax, as he believes
it inequitable as compared with the
general income tax. But he believes the
taxing power of the Government can
be made to reach far, once the prin-
ciple OF the right of the Government 10
levy a corporation tax on the net earn
ings IS admitted. Senator Cur1mins viii
give this phase Of the net earnings tax
attention in a speech he will make later
on when the question comes up In the
Senate
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-06-24

When the CORPORATION tax comes up
in the Senate. there promises to be the
hottest kind of a debate over the ques-
ton Of how far the Government can go
with the exercise Of the taxing power
in the regulation Of corporations. Pres
ident Taft has taken the position that
the proposed tax on the net earnings
Of corporations will prove the means to
enable the Government 70 effect a larg-
er degree Of control over those corpora
lions.
Senators are saying that this PROPOSE
ton of control Of corporations by the
Government through taxation, if it is
valid in the case of the ordinary cor
poration, can be made to reach the
trusts and the great aggregations of
capital. Amendments viii be proposed
to the corporation tax measure for the
purpose OF carrying out this idea and
striking at the trusts.
Bor instance, there is the Beef trust
which is alleged to be showing a dis
position to embark heavily into the tan
hing business. This fact has been one
or the large arguments for free hides
II is quite generally agreed among
members of CONFESS that a corpora
ton organized for one purpose ought
not De allowed to reach out and. take
up with other lines OF business. There
FORE it is likely to be proposed when
the corporation tax comes up that il a
corporation reaches sut and enters
other fields of business than those for
Whlch II IS specifically chartered

That very young girls of a certain class

Such a warning Is posted on the joss

Chinese calling for the arrest and de-
livery TO justice of Leon. The latteTs
crime is especially deprecated by the
better class of Chinese, because it brings
such odium upon their race in a matter
upon which they are peculiarly sensi-
tive, those familiar with them say.
Debt is the obligation which a China

lice Of the entire country as the muir

chara eterized the letter as "a fake con-
ceived by some practical joker" He
did not regard It as of sufficient i'm
portance TO forward 1t to the New York
police. and the letter now repOses in his
desk at Police Headquarters
The letter, which was addressed to
''Mr William Leon. National Hotel

hand that bore every appearance OF be
Ing disguised. It was written on the
stationery Of Young's Hotel, Boston.
and was mailed from that city at s
o'clock OF Tuesday last. It was re-
ceived at the local hotel at 8 o'clock.
The text OF the letter. on the envelope
OF which is written Opened by ms
