CORPORATION TAX
TAFT SENDS MESSAGE MAKING
HIS RECOMMENDATION.
Advocates Amending the Constitution
to Give Congress Right to Tax
Incomes.
Incomes.

Recommending legislation looking
to the placing of two per cent tax
ON the net income cf corporations
and also the adoption of an amend
ment to the Constitution providing
for the imposition of an income tax
without an apportionment among
the several States, President Taft
! Wednesday sent to Congress mes
| sage embodying his views on the
| subject. This action followed a
| protracted special meeting OF the
( Cabinet:
In his message the President
speaks of the apparent inability of
Congress to agree to an inheritance
tax. and as regards an income tax he
refers to the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case. of Pollock VS..
Farmers Loan and Trust Company,
in which the court held the tax to
be unconstitutional unless apportlon-
ed according to population. 1T is,
says the President, undoubtedly .
power which the government ought
TO have. 1t might be indispensable
to the nations life in great crises.
The amendment, therefore, he de-
clared, was the only proper course.
Such an amendment to the Cpnstitu-
ton, he contended, was preferable
| to the one proposed of reviving a
| law judicially declared to be un-
constitutional.
The amendment which he propos-
es should be made to the tariff bill
provides for the imposition upon all
| corporations and joint stock COM
| panies for profit, except national
banks otherwise taxed), savings
banks and building and loan as
sociations, of an excise tax of 2 per
| cent of the net income of said in
corporations. This, it is estimated
by him, will bring an annual revenue
of 25,0O0,0OO. This is a tax on
privilege and not on property he
said, land is within the Federal pow
er without apportionment according
to population"
The president points out that
another merit to the tax on corpo-
rations is the Federal supervision,
which will give to the government,
the stockholders and the public,
knowledge of the real business trans
actions and the gains and profits Of
every corporation in the country
The adoption of the amendment, he
says, will make long step toward
that supervisory control Of corpo-
rations which may prevent a fur
ther abuse Of power"
The message concludes:
81 recommend then, first, the adop-
tion of joint resolution by two
thirds of both houses, proposing to
the States an amendment of the Con.
stitution granting to the Federal
Government the right to levy and
collect an income tax without ap-
2oruonment among the States, ac-
cording to population; and, second,
the enactment, as part of the pend
ing revenue measure, either as sub
stitute for, or in addition to, the
inheritance tax, of an excise tax upon
all corporations, measures by two
per cent of their net income"
The message was referred to the
finance committee.

Fatal Accident on Southern Rail-
way Thursday.
TRAIN DERAILED
Engineer w. H. Turner of Columbia
Engineer ". II. Turner Of Columbia
and Fireman J. Y. Carlisle Of Fair
field Killed in the Derailng OF
an Extra Freight Train Near
Columbia. e

Columbia. e
The derailing of an extra freight,
No. 275, at Etyx, few miles south
of Columbia on the Savannah line
of the Southern railway Thursday
morning about 10 o'clock, caused
the death of Engineer w. H. Turner
of Columbia and Fireman J. Y.
Carlisle, a native of Fairfield, but a
resident Of Columbia, his home be-
ing directly opposite that Of Engineer
! Turner on east Laurel street.
Just how the derailment occurred
will probably never be known, but
it was thought to be due to de-
fective tie or rail caused on account
Of the rains. The engine and about
Is cars turned over and several
others left the track Engineer
Turner was fatally injured and lived
but short time and Fireman Car
Isle was buried under the werckage,
his body not being taken out until
several hours afterwards.
AS soon as the news was received
in Columbia relief train was made
up and sent from Columbia to the
wreck. Here passengers on train No.
1874 from Augusta were transferred
and the remains of Engineer Turner
carried to Columbia and turned over
| to Undertaken VanMetre.
Engineer Turner was one OF the
most popular men in the employ OF
the Southern. He is survived by a
wife and four children. He was q
member of the Richland lodge OF
Masons and of the local order of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engin-
eers. The funeral was held at the
residence, 2315 Laurel street., at
4:30 o'clock Friday afternon and
the interment was made at ElmWood
cemetery with Masonic nonors.
The body of ]. Y. Carlisle was
taken to Winnsboro for burial. Mr..
Carlisle was a member Of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen and
we'll known throughout the State.
His body was buried under mass
of debris and was badly mutilated.
1t was necessary for the wrecking
crew to work several hours before
he could be located and one Of the
remarkable discoveries made when
his body was removed was that his
watch was uninju' ed and still run
ming. Almost every part Of his body
was covered with wreckage but his
watch was uninjured. His death
was instantaneous.
The news Of the accident spread
quickly and many expressions OF
sympathy were heard for the family
of the railroad men who met sud-
den death. 1t Is the first fatal ac-
| cident on this division in some time.

Banks that would lend money on rent receipts would soon have to go out of business, but. if he was buying his home and needed a little assistance, and could show his bank some 25 or 30 can celled notes, no doubt he could get some money if he needed it.
