LESS THEORY, MORE
ACTION BY SENATE
Tariff Bill TO Be Rushed with
All Possible Speed.

Washington, June 81. = Although
considerable progress was made dur
ing the past week by the senate in
the consideration of the tariff bill.
the date at which final vote on the
measure can be looked for is as in
definite today as Il was week ago.
A large number of paragraphs cover
ing duties on important articles re-
main to be disposed Of. in addition
to the special revenue features and
the administrative sections OF the
bill.
However, as there is less disposi-
tion to discuss the theoretical prob
lens of the tariff. II may be expect
ed that the various matters will be
dispatched with greater rapidity and
fewer speeches. While few members
will venture a prediction as to the
date Of the vote on the bill, the pos
sibility Of sending the bill back to
the house by the first of July is now
generally considered as extremely re-
mote.
The discussion of the question Of a
duty on hides will occupy the atten.
tion of the senate for possibly a day
or two before vote is reached.
II is understood the tax on corpo.
rations proposed by President Taft
will occupy the attention of the SEN
ate for several days. 1t will provoke
much debate.

DISCUSS CORPORATION TAX
President Calls Senate Finance Com
mittee to Conference.

President Calls Senate Finance Com
mlttee to Conference.
Washington, June 81. = President
Taft entertained at dinner all OF the
Republican members OF the senate
finance committee and Senator Root.
and there followed a conference on
the subject of the proposed tax on
the net earnings of corporations.
While no details of the amendment
were arranged definitely, 1t can be
stated authoritatively that the
amendment will apply to all corpora
tions, without regard to the capital
stock. II is likely, however. that the
tax will apply only to earnings in ex-
cess of $4,000 n year. This will re-
move the burden from small corpora
tions without subjecting the measure
to constitutional objections by reason
of the exemptions.
Another important feature dlecussed
related to the interest on bonds OF
corporations. The consensus of opn-
ion was that the tax should not ap-
ply to such interest for the reason
that In many cases II would amount
to double taxation. Particularly
would this be true of savings banks
which hold the bonds of corporations.
Senator Aldrich told the president
that 2 per cent tax on the earnings
of corporations, according TO the best
Information available. would produce
about 100000 of revenue annually.
What would be lost by the proposed
exemption of $4,000 for each corpora.
tion could not be stated.
