porters of an income tax amendment,
say:
"The friends of the income tax feel
it a duty to continue to put forth

the adoption of the amendment. They
also stand ready to support a resolu-

the constitution Of the United States.
While they believe that the Supreme
Court will sustain the law, yet to pro

that might result from an adverse de.

do not feel satisfied with simply a
corporation tax, A tax upon the net
income of corporations alone will very
we'll reach the desired results. 1t will
exempt in large number the ones with
large fortunes. The provision they
favor treats large incomes exactly
alike, whether received by corpora
tons or individuals, and whether arts

Washington, D. Give progress
i've Republican senator's, Messrs.
Borah, Bristow, Cummins, La Toilette
and Clapp, conferred last night to de-
termine what their attitude is to be
in relation to the income tax amend
ment to the tariff bill in the face Of
President Tafts special message to
congress, favoring the submission of
the question to the states for a con-
stitutional amendment, and the enact
ment Of a law taxing the net earnings
of corporations.
They decided that the presidents
plan is not inconsistent with their de-
mands for the adoption of an amend
ment taxing incomes, and that both
may be adopted in harmony. They
assume that the presidents plan, en-
dorsed by leading Republicans on the
finance committee, is designed to
"~chloroform" the income tax amend
ment, but nevertheless announce that
they will continue to fight for its
adoption.
