Conference AT The white HOUSE

The terms of the measure as final
ly agreed upon, although not yet
whipped into form, provide that all
generations having capital stock and
organized for profit shall pay tax
of 2 per cent on the net earnings.
Corporations coming within that
designation will be compelled to make
returns to specially named agents or
the bureau of internal revenue OF the
treasury department, giving the
amount of their gross receipts, capital
stock, bonded Indebtedness and all
other visible debts.
Separated from these returns the
corporations will be compelled 10 re-
port the amount of their net receipts
after deducting their general and Or
binary expenses, interest on bonds MP
to the amount of the capital stock of
the corporation, interest on notes and
other forms of tangible indebtedness.
and any actual loss that may have
been incurred in business, which loss
was not made up by insurance, salv-
age or other form of returns.
The amendment will define in the
broadest possible way the character
of losses which may be deducted from
the net earnings upon which the tax
is to be collected. These losses VIII
include bad accounts of a mercantile
corporation, losses upon securities held
by banks, uncollectable notes and all
other forms of bad debts which are
usually charged to profit and loss &C
counts.
AS has been stated before the per
cent tax will apply to all corporations
organized for profit, but each corpora
ton will be allowed $4,000 exemp-
ton. which means that the tax will
not be collected except upon earnings
in excess of $4,000.
Any corporation which makes a
false report to an agent of the bureau
of internal revenue will be subject to
penalty.

Washington, June 23.-Details of
the proposed measure for the taxation
of net earnings of corporations We're
arranged at the most important con-
ference that has been held at the
White House since Mr. Taft assumed
the presidency.
There were present as the presi-
dents guests at dinner Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham and Senator Root,
who are charged with the task of
drafting the measure; Secretary OF
State Knox, Senators Aldrich, Bur
rows, Penrose, Hale, Cullom, Flint,
Smoot, McCumber and Lodge, consti-
tuting the Republican membership OF
the senate finance committee; Speak
er Cannon, Representative Payne,
chairman of the house committee on
ways and means, and Representative
John Dwight of New York, the Re-
publican whip of the house.
The statesmen sat down to dinner
in the state dining room. No business
was discussed at the dinner, but for
two hours afterward the corporation
tax measure, which had been pre-
pared in the form of an amendment
to the tariff BILL was viewed from
every angle. Many changes from
the form in which it was placed were
suggested and not a few of these
were declared to be wise. The result
was that the carefully prepared copies
given to each member of the party by
Attorney General Wickersham were
returned to him at the end of the con-
ference.
President Taft himself suggested
that the copies should not be taken
by the members of the party until the
amendment had been perfected. All
agreed not to make the form of the
amendment public until 1t is ready
to be introduced in the senate as a
finance committee amendment to the
tariff bill.
