WHY THE
TAFT PLAN?
Special TO The Record.

Special TO The Record.
Washington. July Why are the
corporations partial TO the Taft-Al-
drich per cent. tax on net earnings
compared with a genuine income
taxi Is il because they will be able
to make the pu5lic pay the tax by
simply boosting prices a notch or cwo
whereas under an income tax they
would have 10 liquidate from their
own private funds?
President Taft says that under his
plan the sugar tf>-st will have to pay
an annual tax of $290.OOO and the oil
trust 100000. But will these sums
came out of the-pockets of the CON
sumer or the treasures of the sugar
ana oil monopolies?
Serene Payne. chairman of the
House Ways and Means committee.
answered these questions in the Con-
gressional Record of Dec. IA, 1900.
He was discussing the war-revenue
act of 1898. which provided for a tax
of a of | per cent on the gross re-
ceipts of corporations dealing in sugar
and oil The tax was repealed in 1900
To all practical enris this special
excise tax was parallel TO the Taft
corporation tax. This is what Repre-
sentative Payne said of the measure
while discussing its passage on the
floor of the House:
Il remember making a remark at
that time Cwhen the act was passed
in 1881 to my associates on the con-
ference committee that they knew.
and | knew. that If this tax should be
imposed the people who were expect
oil trusD would simply put up the
price of sugar and petroleum enough
10 reimburse themselves for the tax
which they paid and allow themselves
a handsome profit. No doubt such has
been the case. | have no doubt that
those interests that have been requir-
ed % pay the tax have collected from
their customers more than the amount
which they have paid over to the Un-
tied States in the form of taxation"
Serene Payne knew what he was
talking about. for he enjoys a more in
innate knowledge of the business-po
litical methods of the sugar and oil
monopolies than the average member
of Congress He is the man who
framed the tariff bill in the House.
IL his remarks do not clear the at
mosphere as to why a tax on corpor-
alton earnings is about to be passed
by Congress instead of an income tax

TARIFF BILL
.NEARS END

Washington, July 7.-When Senator
Aldrich moved today for an agreement
by the senate on all paragraphs In The
tariff bill which the senators did not
care 20 reserve for further amend
ment. there was a widespread move
TO reserve parts OF the bill against
which the senators desired to make
last stand for a change of schedule.
Bailey reserved the corporation tax
amendment while Hughes reserved
the Philippine tariff .LaF'ollette. saying
he had ha, no opportunity to inspect
the report of the bill as acted on in
committee of the whole. intinated he
would not respect the supposed unan-
imous consent agreement unless he
could be assured of chance to pre-
sent such amendments as he night
desire to introduce. He declared the
unanimous consent was hasty and IL
in such a way many of
the senators did not understand he
might be called upon to reserve all tire
of the bill unless he could
select the paragraphs he desired to
amend. Aldrich agreed to cooperate
with LaFollette in obtaining an oppor-
tunity for the latter to offer amend
ments.
Aldrich's request for a vote on the
paragraphs was granted
and the amendments were adopted en-
bloc, without division.

Harrisburg, Pa, July 7.-Applica-

Keystone Telephone interests will
be interested in the new company
which at a cost of about one million
dollars will construct and operate a
long distance line from Philadelphia
TO the Ohio state line via Pittsburg.
Another concern, also called the

gressional record OF June l, 1898. That
was the day on which the war reye-
nue. tax on the sugar and oil trusts
was passed.
THE corporations will not pay this
tax" said Senator Platt of Connect
cut. 1T will be paid by the consumer.
There is no other business In the
country where the corporations or the
and certainly evade the payment of
the tax as in the case Of the business
OF oil refining and sugar refining. and.
what is more. the persons engaged in
the business will be very careful in
raising the price of oil and sugar to
raise 1t a little more than the tax. so
that the consumer will pay not only
the tax. but the additional profit to
these two companies
Reading further along. we find that
the elusive Senator Aldrich. then as
now using his talent for the corpora
tions and so accused on the floor of
the Senate. took the position ii would
be sheer madness to single out corpor
ations and tax them. He argued that
persons, companies and partnerships
would also have to be included IL the
measure was TO stand the test of the
courts.
This view is exactly opposite TO the
one Aldrich is presenting to the Sen
ate now, with the ai1 of President
Taft. The Rhode Island senator's 20
sition today is that a tax should be
levied against corporations only, that
an income tax which would take in in
dividuals, companies and partnerships
would he unconstitutional.
Read what Senator White, who had
introduced the amendment for the
war tax on the sugar and oil trusts,
said of Senator Aldrich away back on
May &c, 1898:
MIR. President. it is the habit of
those who endeavor TO escape the
force of an argument to cloud the
question. | repeat that | am arguing
at this minute in favor of a tax upon
corporations. persons. companies. part
nerships. etc. who are engaged in the
occupations nominated in this bill: and
neither the Senator from Rhode Is
land (Mr. AldrichD nor anyone else
can escape from the conclusion that
he and those who are with him are
contesting this tax and are endeavor-
ing to emanicpate the wealthy insti-
tutions whose interests he and the
others here have so powerfully advo-
Gated. from giving toward this war
and its maintenance one cent of Mon
ey."-
Payne and Platt are staunch Repuh
licans. If their quoted remarks are
not an indictment of the Taft-Aldrich
corporation tax as a cheating substi-
tute for an income tax. then what is
their meaning?

Ing" him at least once, is attracting
considerable attention. here, especially
in government scientific circles. The
rumor is based on statement made by
Assemblyman Bancroft, of the Wis
consin legislature, who gave Prof ]. @.
Emery, the Wisconsin state dairy and
food commissioner, and president of the
Association of State and National
Dairy and Food Departments, as his
authority. Assemblyman Bancroft
said that president Roosevelt told
Professor Emery that the finding Of the
special committee that benzoate of soda
was not injurious to health, worked
the one time when he had been fooled
by Standard Oil. The finding of the
committee was worthless, because
the committee was packed. One of the
three was a chemist from the ia
nous kerosene oil university atChicago,
and another was from the corn syrup
system which is dominated by Standard

Some time in January or February

the Remsen board had reported favor
ably on benzoate of soda as a preserva-
tive in food, number of state food
commissioners who have always been
opposed to its use, met i'll Washington

that he had said some startling things,
but stated that he had pledged them to
secrecy. The statement by Mr.. Ban
