Der OF candidates may be voted
for thus depriving the voters of their
right under the cleo

these reasons the entire act is de-
clsred unconstitutional.

This understanding was reached a.
1 session Of the cabinet and was ap
proved by Republican leaders oil the
senate who conferred with the presi
dent. In order that there shall bt
no question that the two propositions
recommended have the support OF the
administration, Attorney Genera
Wickersham drafted both the amend
ment and the resolution. The co,
poration tax amendment was referred
10 the committee on finance and ths

amending the constitution to the com
mfttee on judiciary. Doubtless bou
OF these committees win repof'
promptly so that all OF the questions
involved may be disposed OF wher
the pending income tax amendmen,
Is taken up for consideration.
In view of the emphatic stand taker
by President Taft against direct tai
upon incomes, in the face OF the De
cision OF the supreme court OF the
United States on that subject, and his
preference for the proposed tax upon
the earnings of corporations severa-
progressive Republicans have signi
fed their intention Of following his
recommendations. At the same time
aot all of the progressive Republicans
are satisfied with this administrative
program and it is probable that some
3f them will voice vigorous protests
Democratic senators also are expected
to indulge in strong criticism denun
ciatory of the tax on corporations rs
substitute for a direct tax on incomes
This, he as well as many OF his
advisers, believe would be reform
which would produce great satisfac
tion to the people at large. and at the
same time give the business corpora
lions standing which otherwise il
would be impossible to attain.
The president believes a provision
for the imposition Of such tax car
be framed on the bas1s of the internal
revenue law, giving the government
full power to investigate the books Of
corporations to determine their earn
lngs. He also believes that such q
provision could be drawn SO as to be
held by the supreme court to be con
stitutional. The president recon
mends that the tax should be nnlim
tied as to time, as this feature is con
sidered essential to the success of tbs
proposed law in insuring publicity.
Senator Borah announced he pro
posed to cast his vote for loosenint
the band which tied the Philippines t.
The United States. He declared him
self in favor of giving the Philippines
