WASHINGTON, June 24.-Special
to the Labor World.-The insurgents
are angry at President Taft's special
message to congress, which they say
was directed at their income tax
amendment for the purpose of killing
it. Consequently, they held a confer
ence and issued the following state
ment to offset Taft's special message.
For Constitutional Amendment. ..
The friends Of the income tax feel
it a duty to continue to put forth
every effort to secure the adoption
Of the measure. They will, however,
urge the adoption of this amendment.
They also stand ready to support a.
resolution providing for an amend
ment to the Constitution Of the United
States. While they believe that the
Supreme Court will sustain the law,
yet to provide against any possible
contingency that might result from
an adverse decision. they gladly favor
the proposition to amend the Con-
stitution. -
: Corporation Tax Unsatisfactory.
"They do not feel satisfied with
simply a corporation tax. A tax upon
the net incomes of corporations alone
will very imperfectly reach the de-
sired result. The immense personal
incomes Of the country. The provis-
ion the favor treats large incomes
exactly alike, whether received by
corporations or individuals, and
whether arising from interest, divi-
dends, inheritance, or otherwise.
Views Of the Insurgents.
"The plan which they propose sim
ply carries the presidents, view to
their legitimate end, and is as con-
sistent with the decision of i t1liII lfsla :
preme Court ~ Is the tax on corp pofate
incomes alone. There lis no treason
for exempting from this tax the vast
Incomes Of the, divid duals.s Hike Car
negie, Rockefeller, and others, a large
portion Of whise fortunes do not con-
sfst of corporation stocks,
1T is also we'll, known that cor
porations, especially the larger ones,
can In most instances shift the burden
Of the tax to the public by imposing
upon the people increase chaeges
and prices.
"As to the publicity features, there
Is no substantial difference between
the two measures. The other measure
referred to is the Bailey-Cummins
amendment, which provides for a 2
per cent tax on corporation partner
ships, etc. !.
In other words, thre is the same
necessity for securing information and
insuring publicity in the income tax
as In the corporation tax. Every pos
sible effort will be made to secure
the passage of the income tax amend
ment."
