Marked Hostility to the
Measure Is Shown
Among Them.
PRESIDENT MUST
COME TO RESCUE
Protests From Many Parts of
Country Figure in the
Opposition.

The corporation tax is in danger Of
defeat.
It was taken up today by the confer
ence committee Of the House and SEN
ate on the tariff bill and was discussed
at some length.
No action has been taken upon it,
and the new draft Of the measure which
Attorney. General Wfckersham has been
preparing has not yet reached the com
mittee. Enough has developed to shaw
that there IS great hostility to the tax
among the eonferees
One member Of the conference com
mlttee said this morning that the situa-
ton was such that unless President Taft
came to the rescue of the corporation
tax and insisted on its passage It would
be defeated.
The House conferees generally are
opposed 10 the corporation tax The
Senate conferees are luke-warm. Pro-
tests are coming in from various di-
rections against the measure and it
seems certain that Preskzsnt Taft will
have to intervene actively 10 prevent
the measure from being displaced by the
tax
It is possible that as a result Of the
situation no special taxes will be levied.
The conferees worked upon the ad-
ministrative features Of the bin at thu
session. The maximum and
minimum and customs courts were dis
cussed- Al the afternoon session work
Cd
given out that the Senate administra-
tive features including the maximum
and minimum and customs court would
doubtless r. adopted.
