the right to levy an income tax, Taft

Washington, June 16.-Taft today
sent the following message to con
gress on the subject of a tax on cor
porations and an income tax amend
ment:
with my inaugural address 1 call
ed attention to the necessity of the
revision of che tariff this session and
stated the principles upon which
thought the revision should be effect
ed. 1 referred to the increasing def
= the trainers of the bill to arrange for
duty for an adequate income.
THE decision in the income tax cas-
eS takes from the government the
power which 1t was supposed the gov
ernment had. 1t is undoubtedly power
the government ought to have. / there
fore recommend that both houses OF
congress by two-thirds vote propose
an amendment to the constitution con
ferring the power to levy an income
tax, upon the national government,
with apportionn mt among the states,
according to population. This is
much the better course than to reen-
act the law once declared unconStitu-
tional, for congress to suppose the
court will reverse itself and to enact
Legislation on such an assumption is
not to increase confidence in the sta
bility of the courts.
at is said that the difficulty and
the delay in getting the consent of
three-fourths of the states will destroy
all chance of adopting the amendment.
While none can speak with certainty
on this point. believe the majority
of the people favor Nesting the nat
ional government with the power to
levy an income tax. The second condi-
ton in the Pollock case left the power
in the national government to levy an
excise tax. l therefore recommend an
amendment to the tariff bill impos-
ing on all corporations and joint
stock companies for profit, except GER
tain banks, otherwise taxed. an ex-
else tax, measured by two per cent OF
the net income of such corporations.
IL enforced such a tax will bring in
revenue of not less than twenty-five
million dollars"
Taft declared in his message that
inasmuch as the power to incorporate
resulted in great business advance and
has also been the cause of abuses to
which the people objected, he 'believ-
ed therefore that tax law will give
the people an insight into business
methods and thus long stride will
be accomplished.
