TAFT STANDING PAT
ON CORPORATION TAX

President Asnth IT Taft fD stands right where
he stood all along and will
insist upon tho adoption OF the cor
poration tax amendment is the sub
stance of report made TO the tariff
conference today by Senator Aldrieh
and Representative Payne. The lead
erS Of the senate and house were at
the White House last night, having
been summoned by the president to cx-
plain persistent rumor that the cor
poratjon tax proposition WAS III danger
of being dropped in conference. 1t had
been reported aud not denied that
majority of the confcrccs were opposed
TO the adoption of the measure pro-
viding for a two per cent tax upon
the net earnings of corporations or
ganized for profit. The announcement
that the administration would be sat.
isfied with a fax of ono per cent and
that the redraft of the amendment
made hy Attorney General Wicker
sham would contain this change, did
not remove the objections entertained
bv the conferecs. The representatives
of the house protested against tho fed
eral government entering upon such
"new and radical method of raising
revenues
Discouraging reports about the re-
ccption planned for the proposition
when il should be returned to the con
ferees determined the president to get
at the bottom Of the situation and
learn if he could whether the sentiment
against the amendment was strong
enough 10 encompass its dcfeaat.
Thorough Investigation.
In seeking for explanations from
Senator Aldrich and Representative
Payne the president went to the very
fountion heads of information con
corning matters happening or likely to
happen behind the closed doors leading
to the conference chamber.
1t is known that neither Mr., Aldrlch
nor Mr.. Payne want the CORPORATION tax
amendment, although both Of them are
pledged to the president to support it.
The president had at the White
House last night the three authors of
the corporation tax amendment, all OF
the Republican members Of the finance
committee, Speaker Cannon, Repro
sentative Payne and Representative
Dwight of New York, the Republican
"whip' of the house. The president
indicated that he wanted the net earn.
ingS Of corporations taxed and all or
these present, ii is asserted, agreed to
assist him in procuring the enactment
of such a measure.
Mr. Aldrich and Mr.. Payne, accord
ing to information believed to be au
thentic, told the conferees today that
the corporation tax amendment must
be incorporated in the tariff bill.
1t was intimated that if the propo-
stion is abandoned now by the con
ferecs, breach in the relations be-
tween the White House and capitol
might be the result.
