president desired further confer
ence with Balinger before stating
the Administrations aims regarding
the conservation of resurces.
The president tonight declared that
the corporation tax was in itself the
best form Of income tax that could
be levied. In urging that the states
should vote for the amendment to the
constitution, permitting the levy Of a
direct income tax, appropriating the
proceeds among the states according
to their population the president de
clared that It would be possible to
SO amend the corporation tax as to
include within its scope every desired
feature Of the income tax except a
levy upon incomes derived from ac-
tuaT salary and professional service.
The president opposed the direct in
come tax exvept in cases of emerg-
ency and believed the constitution s
prime fault is that no provision is
made for direct levy to meet war
and other extraordinary expenses.
Taft declared that it was the su-
preme court decision. declaring un-
constitutional the income tax, that
prevented the leaders of congress
from including in the corporation tax
la measure providing for a levy upon
bonds and bondholders. To tax bonds
would result in a reduction of rates
Of interest, and hence would be di-
rect tax upon bondholders.
The president based his argument
in favor of a corporation tax almost
entirely upon the results of the in
cCme tax in England. The litter he
said Is not direct tax, but instead
taxed the income before 1t came into
the hands Of the individual The Eng
iish tax levied on the dividends Of
corporations, on rents before leaving
the hands of tenants, and upon the
individual directly in cases not COW
cred by dividend and rents. England
found that the direct income tax Of

Of the Peary Arctic Club, Asked when
the public is likely to get decision,
he replied
Il do not know, but what have to
say will not be very long delayed.

circumstances"
The explorer will leave Sydney to-
morrow morning, and reach his home
at Eagle Island. Maine, Friday Ap-

Met Down the Bay
The reception of Peary today be-
gan when the Roosevelt was eleven

found himself the center of great
demonstration with hundreds press

Eleven times left Sydney for the
north, said the commander. Once

When the Roosevelt lay at the
wharf this afternoon an eager throng
of sight-seers went through her from
stem to stern.
Souvenir hunters carried away ev-
erything portable, and many valuable
records and data belonging to Prof

The first to greet Peary down the
bay were the American consul and the
local officials, whose tug escorted the

ties ashore and afloat voiced the
greetings Lines of school girls were
drawn up on the wharf, and thous-
ands of spectators thronged the es-
