Another merit of this tax is the federal
supervision which must be exercised in
order to make the law effective over the
annual accounts and business transactions
Of all corporations. While the faculty OF
assuming a corporate form has been Of
the utmost utility in the business world, 1t
is also true that substantially all Of the
abuses and all Of the evils which have
aroused the public to the necessity of re-
form were made possible by the use Of
this very faculty. II now by a perfectly
legitimate and effective system OF taxa
ton, we are incidentally able to possess the
government and the ~stoekholders and the
public OF the knowledge of the real bust

Of every corporation in the country. we
have made a long step toward that super
vlsory control Of corporations which may
prevent a further abuse OF power.
IL recommend, then, first, the adoption
Of a joint resolution by two-thirds Of both
houses, proposing to the states an amend
ment to the constitution. granting to the
federal government the right to levy and
collect an income tax, without APP
portionment among the states &C
%cording to populations; and, second,
the enactment as part of the
pending revenue measure, either as a sub
stitute for. or in addition to. the, inheri-
lance tax, of an excise tax upon all cor
porations, measured by ? per cent Of their
net income.
