HOLDING COMPANIES.
As to the application of the corpO-

president is reported as believing the
tax paid by the issuing corporation
will be sufficient without taxing the
dividends of the companies, which
are paid from dividends of stock held.
Due consideration will be given to
the demands of mutual life insurance
companies, whose incomes would have
been seriously impaired.
President Taft was the central fig

he will actively lend his influence to
