INCOME TAX
WILL NOT PASS
But Senate Will Propose to
Tax the Dividends of Cor

PRESIDENT TAFT SAID
TO FAVOR SUCH MEASURE

By United Press Leased Specieg Wire
WASHINGTON. June 15-when the
income tax proposition comes up for
consideration in the Senate on Friday
It viii be indefinitely postponed.
In its place there will be adopted
tax on the net earnings Of corpor-
ations, and a resolution providing for
an amendment to the constitution.
specifically authorizing Congress to
impose tax upon incomes.
These new plans win be offered oy
Senator Aldrch. and a careful canvass
Of the Senate has shown that he has
enough votes TO ensure their adoption.
Neither proposition is favored by Aid
rich. but they were forced from him
by the realization that. unless he made
concessions. enough Republicans
would join with tho Democrats 10
write into the tariff bin an income tax
provision. BY proposing the tax on
corporations. he meets the views of
those OF the progressives. who claim
that the tariff schedules alone would
not raise all the revenues needed by
the government. The proposed tax is
expected to raise anywhere from $50.
100000 TO $5OoOo.oo0. BY the proposition
TO amend the constitution so as Ia
authorize the income tax, he meets
partially the desires OF those who
want To tax wealth, and az the same
/ time avoids the possibility Of enactinl
now a measure which might be agair
declared unconstitutional by the Su.
preme Court.
