washington, June l6.-President
Tait today sent to congress u mes
sage urging the passage OF an
amendment to the tarln imposing
tax OF 2 per cent upon the undis-
tributed net earnings OF corpora
tons. and the adoption OF a resolu-
ton submitting to the several states
an amendment TO the constitution
giving congress the power TO impose
tax on incomes.
This understanding was reached
at session of the Cabinet Tuesday
and was approved by Republican
senate leaders. who conferred with
the President,
The President fayors AN amend
ment providing for a tax on the net
earnings OF corporations, not only
because o; the added revenue Il
would produce. bGs also because he
believes II would throw a healthy
light OF publicity upon the AFFAIRS Of
corporations.
1t has been estimated that q 2
per cent tax ON the earnings OF cor
porations available for dividends
would yield approximately 100000
600 a year, while at the same rate
a tax on all incomes would yield
from s7O.0O0,000 to $4,000. 900.

refused to deliver the diploma to
