Also Urges the Adoption Of ResoIu-
ton Submitting to the States a Con-
stitutional Amendment Giving Con-

come Tax Measure Text
Of the Message.
Washington, June 17.-President
Taft has sent to congress a special
message urging the passage of an
amendment to the tariff bill imposing
a tax of 2 per cent upon the net earn
ings of corporations and the adoption
of a resolution submitting to the sew.
eral states an amendment to the Con.
stitution giving congress the power
90 impose tax on incomes. The text
of the message follows:
In my inaugural address, imme-
diately preceding this present extraor-
binary session of congress-, I invited
attention to the necessity for a revi-
sion of the tariff at this session and
stated the principles upon which
thought the revision should be ef-
fected. I referred to the then rapidly
increasing deficit and pointed out the
obligation on the part of the trainers
of the tariff bill to arrange the duty
so as to secure an adequate income
and suggested that, if it was not
possible to do so by import duties,
new. kinds of taxation must be adopt
ed, and among them I recommended
a graduated inheritance tax as cor
rect in principle and as certain and
easy of collection. The house of rep
resentatives has adopted the sugges-
ton and has provided in the bill it
passed for the collection of such a
tax. In the senate the action of its
finance committee and the course Of
the debate indicates that it may not
agree to this provision and it is now
proposed to make up the deficit by
the imposition of a general income
tax in form and substance of almost
exactly the same character as that
which, in the case of Pollock VS..
Farmers Loan and Trust company,
was held by the supreme court to be
q direct tax and therefore not within
the power of the federal government
to impose unless apportioned among

the several states according to popu-
lation. This new proposal, which ]
did not discuss in my inaugural adj
dress or in my message at the open
ing of the present session, makes it
appropriate for me to submit to the
congress certain additional recon-
mendations.
Asks Constitutional Amendment.
The decision of the supreme court
In the income tax cases deprived the
national government of power which,
by reason of previous decisions of the
court, it was generally supposed the
government had. 1t is undoubtedly
a. power the national government
ought to have. It might be indis-
pelsable to the nations life in great
crises. Although I have not consid-
cred a constitutional amendment as
necessary to the exercise Of certain
phases of this power a mature con-
sideration has satisfied me that an
amendment is the only proper
course for it's establishment to it's
full extent I therefore recommend
to the congress that both houses, by
a two-thirds vote, shall propose an
amendment to the Constitution con-
ferring the power to levy an income
tax upon the national government
without arportionment among the
states in proportion to population.
This course is much to be preferred
to the one proposed of re-enacting a
law once judicially declared to be un-
constitutional. For the congress to
assume that the court will reverse it.
self and to enact legislation on such
an assumption will not strengthen
popular confidence in the stability of
judicial construction of the Constitu-
ton. It is much wiser policy to ac-
cept the decision and remedy the de-
feet by amendment in due and regu'
lar course. s--.5
Again, it is clear that by the enact,
ment OF the proposed law the con-
gress will not be bringing money into
the treasury to meet the present de-
f1ciency, but by putting on the stat.
ute book law already there and new
er repealed will simply be suggesting
to the executive officers of the govern
ment their possible duty to invoke lit
igation. If the court should maintain
its former view no tax would be col
lected at all. If it should ultimately
reverse itself still no taxes would
have been collected until after pro-
tracted delay.
It is said the difficulty and delay
in securing the approval of three
fourths of the states will destroy all
chance of adopting the amendment.
Of course, no one can speak with GER
tainty upon this point, but l have be.
come convinced that a great majority
of the people of this country are in
favor of vesting the national govern
ment with power to levy an income
tax and that they will secure the
adoption of the amendment in the
states if proposed to them.
Recommends Corporation Tax.

suBscRIPTI0N.--s5.oo PER ANNuM
"PORK BARREL WASTEFULNESS."

The ruling of Judge Brill that the
pork barrel' bill is unconstitutional
will tie up much road work that is
needed in the state, and, and will
head off much more that might
we'll be left undone, says the Du-
luth News-Tribune. The engineer
of the state highway commission
has the right idea when he says that
the sooner the state gets down to
something better than the pork
barrel system the better. It would
be difficult for sensible men to
imagine anything more illogical and
wasteful that the bill to appropriate
$6,OOO,OOO for road work throughout
the state. Undoubtedly some of the
money would be spent to advantage,
but most of it would be wasted on
improvements that would be of little
use when completed.
A desire for better roads was not
the motive prompting the passage
of the bill. The measure was de-
signed as sop to the country legis-
lators who wanted an appropriation
of some sort for their districts.
It is almost as unbusineslike to
make road improvements on the
pork-barrel plan as it would be to
apportion money in that manner for
river or drainage work. Imagine
the results that would be obtained
if the legislature had appropriated
money to dredge portions of the
channel, for example, of the Mime
sofa River. Suppose a mile of
channel near Shakopee should be
put into condition for navigation,
another mile near St. Peter and
another mile near Mankato.
The money could be spent honestly,
but what would the state have after
it had paid the bills? The same
principle holds true in roadmaking.
A good road should start somewhere
and end somewhere; should serve a
definite purpose. There is no profit
in handing to some legislator or
friend of a legislator sum of money
merely for the purpose of having it
spent in his neighborhood. The
pork barrel bill is wrong as a
practical business proposition, and
aside from the constitutional point
involved, that the state has no right
to spend money on internal improve
ments.

Another merit of this tax is the fed

fective over the annual accounts and
business transactions of all corpora

a corporate form has been of the ut
most utility in the business world ii
is also true that substantially all OF
the abuses and all of the evils which
have aroused the public to the neces-

the use of this very faculty. If now,
by perfectly legitimate and effective
system of taxation, we are incidental

have made a long step toward that

MOTHER, NOT THE
CHILD, TO BLAME

Satisfy your child's physical needs,
and he will be an angel. There is no
such thing as an obstinate child. This
is my message to mothers.
Whatever ethical training a child is
to receive must be when it Is neither
hungry, sleepy, sick nor fatigued. These
conditions perfectly satisfied the child's
inspired mental state should be an
gelic.
All such training should be uncon-
scious. The condition we call obstin-
acy in young children is brought about
by the poor judgment or inconsistency
of the parent.
When a child wishes something it
cannot possibly have, there is nothing
for it but peremptory denial. A child
soon learns to be reconciled to the in
evitable.
The trouble comes when the parent is
inconsistent First, the child is denied
the shiny, ticking watch. The next day
he is given it, to save temporary an
noyance. How is he to learn what he
cannot have in this way? Alternate
yielding and denial outrage his sense
of Justice, Just as it would in an adult.
Never have a prolonged contest. This
brings out the stubborn" tendency.
Every baby has an individuality which
should be respected. He has his own
when the mother tries to replace them
with hers, it is she who is obstinate.
If he prefers to take his sheep or
little stocking to bed with him, instead
of his Teddy bear why not let him?
The child must have a reasonable
amount of liberty and scope to vent his
energy. If there are some things in
room that he may not touch, he can
soon be taught this fact, and will read
DIT oh
good to be handled by his little fingers,
what then? Can you expect obedience?
Whose fault is it if the place he lives
in is unsuited to his needs? Is he only
there on sufferance, as it were?
If you are liberal in what you allow
a child, you may be strict in what you
prohibit.
The corrective, and especially the ed
vocational value of punishment is great
ly overestimated by parents. Corporal
punishment becomes a physical habit
with parents. The arm contracts au
tomatically, as it were, and the child
shrinks instinctively also This is all
to be condemned.
The mother must make her erring
little one feel penitent. He cannot do
so with his heart full of harsh and bit
ter feelings. Her tact and her love
must call forth from him an answer
ing love that will swallow up perverse-
ness.
Now after you have read this, don't
conclude that it is simply the eX-
pounded theory born of college wo-
mans Heidelberg degree. I have
learned nothing which l have not been
able to apply to the training of my chill
dren. l only wish l knew more. What
