He VIII Vote for Measure.

He VIII Vote for Measure.
Senator Newiands, OF Nevada, q Demo
.crat made a speech in the Senate yestsr-
day indorsing the corporation tax
amendment recommended BY President
Taft. Mr.. NewIands said that while he
favored a graduated tax On incomes, he
would vote for a constitutional amend
ment submitting to the States an amend
ment to confer upon Congress specific
authority 70 levy an income tax.
The President OF the United States. .
he said, ''has recommended 20 Congress
an excise tax upon al corporations meas
ured by 2 per cent OF the net income, and
states that IN his judgment this will yield
the Treasury not less than S25,OOO,Oo0.
Although am in sympathy with the
movement for increasing the revenue OF
the country. have little confidence in
the government pursuing this line OF re-
ent deficiency In the Treasury. fear
economy will be mainly exercised where
Il ought to be least exercised IN the dim
mutton OF the constructive work Of the
country.
while favor and shall vote for the
immediate passage OF a graduated income
tax the constitutionailty Of which may
be tested before the Supreme Court. I
realize there is little chance OF its adop-
ton, and, therefore, favor a constitu-
tionai amendment providing for a grad
uated income tax. and favor also present
legislative action imposing an excise tax
in such form as 10 reach the accurnu-
lated wealth OF the country"
Continuing. Mr.. Newlands said;
Il should be remembered that the tax oncs TN
posed upon oil and sugar rednes was upon every
person. firm, company. and corporation c1ry1ng on
such business. not upon ooTp0ratious alone TIE

TAX ON FILMS URGED.
Dealers I'm Moving Picture Repro
ductions Seek Internal Revenue.

DeaAers IN moving FlCNure Repro
ductiOns Seek Internal Revenue.
An internal revenue tax on moving pic
ture films reproduced from films import
ed from France and other countries IS
urged by dealers who are supplying the
thousands Of moving picture shows now
in operation IN nearly every city In the
United States.
Moving picture films are dutiable al
the rate Of 25 per cent IN the existing
tariff law. Those who urge that an IN
ternal revenue tax be laid against repro
dUctions DO so on the ground that they
are in need Of the protection such a tax
would AFFORD.
The large dealers claim that films they
sell are all imported. Smaller dealers, Il
Is urged, import films, and by making re-
productions or copies are enabled 10
undersell those who handle imported films
exclusively. This could be remedied.
II is contended. by the imposition OF an
internal revenue tax.
