THE INCOME TAX

President Taft's speech at Denver,
in which he discussed the income tax
as contended for by some. and also
the corporation tax which was substi-
tnted therefor, will clear the cobwebs
ont Of many brain. His clear and sue,
cinci statement of the situation and
his lucid explanation Of his position on
these subjects make it difficult to mis-
understand him.
Owing to the premium it places on
perjury. he is opposed to the income
tax as such, but is strongly in favor of
the adoption OF the proposed constitu-
tional amendment providing for it.
This he explains Is because an income
tax becomes sometimes a necessity, as
in case oI war or other great emer-
gency. The corporation tax as it now
stands Is in effect an income tax, as
=it IS confined to corporations whose
income exceeds 5000. II also has the
advantage Of affording government
scrutiny. or corporations, which is in
the interest Of stockholders as wen
as the people. 1t will also afford a
basis for regulation that will be just
and equitable to the corporations and
people alike.
On the other hand the Income tax
proposed. had in its essential features
been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court, and Its passage would
raise an issue between that tribunal
and congress. and weaken both in the
eyes Of the nation. But by the passage
of the constitutional amendment such
an event could be ohviated.
1t is an open secret that the propos-
ed income tax, 10 he levied for the or
dinary expenses of fAe government
and not as an emersancv measure. is
in the interest of free trade, or in 9th
or words OF a tariff for revenue only,
/ This IS contrary 10 the long tried and
well proved policy Of protection to

No MARCHING Orders

Cedar Rapids Republican: It

as a Republican of the tariff and party

nolicies We can not both destroy a
party and use 1t for CARRYING out any
well defined policies If there had
been no party solidarity in Iowa. II
Republicans in the legislature had rot
