CORPORATION tax a to defeat the income
tax The Idaho Senator. who has been one "l l"e
most active supporters Of an income tax on ue ne
publican side, said he was convinced 'h'' nv
chance for the passage OF an income tax ahehd
ment at this session practically removed. lie
was in favor Of income tax. not as a temporary
measure for raising revenue 10 meet deficit but
as permanent addition to the revenue system OF
the country.
The cornoration tax was being supported. he said.
or the ground that It would reach the wealth OF
the country. II he thought this was so he would
support it a temporary measure to wipe out Il
deficit. He was convinced however, that II would
not tax wealth but would place an additional
burden those already heavily taxed. 1t was a
tax consumption. not on wealth. II was unjust
unfair and Of doubtful constitutionality.
1t was born Of fear and nobody seems 10 care
what becomes Of II after II served its purpose.
Mr Borah continued. When the real effect OF this
tax is found out it is learned that the Rcpubli
can party in a time OF peace has laid burden on
the people II do not answer for IL al the polls
# viii be because the opposition party has disn-
tecrated.'
NJ. Borah reviewed the legislative history OF that
portion Of the 1898 providing for the taxation
OF those engaged the refining Of sugar ana
petroleum He quoted President Mckinley. Sen
ator Platt. OF Connecticut; Representative faj ne
and others as authority for the statement that
these special taxes not borne by the oil ana
sugar trusts. but were transferred to the consum-
ers OF oil and sugar.
Mr Sutherland suggested that II the tax was to
be transferred to the consumers the same objection
would lie against the income which Mr.. Borah
had champoned with much energy. Mr- boTah
replied that ii was within the ingenuity Of man
To place fairly the burdens Of taxation on wealth

burdens of taxation provided in the income
tax for that taxed bonds and other sources OF in
come not covered IN the corporation tax. Under
the income amendment the opportunity 70 shirt
the to the consumers was minlmized-
Senator Jones suggested that tax on inheri-
tances could be shifted. Mr.. Borah said that
the only objection he had TO Inheritance tax was
that it would impose double taxation, as many or
the states have inheritance tax laws. An inheri-
tance tax law was however, vastly better than the
corporation tax. despite the fact that II might he
double taxation in states.
