CORPORATION TAX
SCHEME ASSURED
PRESIDENT ASSURED BY LEAD.
ERS THAT THERE WILL
BE NO TROUBLE.
INCOME TAX SUPPORTERS HOPE
TO SECURE VOTE ON BAILEY
CUMMINS PLAN.

Washington, June 24.-Before the
senate takes up the presidents pro
gram for the taxation of net earnings
of corporations, the leaders will know
how every member intends to vote,
A most careful poll that can be made
will be in the hands of Senator Aid
rich today and be communicated to
the president.
From indications so far, IL appears
that the members of the finance com
mittee were justified in assuring the
president as they did Tuesday night
that the measure would be adopted
Representative Dwight, the republi
can whip, promised the senate lead
ers yesterday that if the senate in
corporates the corporation tax plan
in the tariff bill, the amendment will
be retained by the house. 1t is sup
posed he based his statement upon
a canvass of the house
The fact that the republican lead
ers, including Cannon and Payne, as
sured the president that the corpora
tion tax amendment would meet with
favor in the house, is said to pre-
clude the possibility of defeat there.
Supporters of the Bailey Cummins
income tax amendment which the
presidents plan is expected to sup
plant, have not abandoned the inten.
ton to obtain a direct vote on the
income tax question. II their amend
ment is displaced, it is likely that
practically all the republicans will
vote for the corporation tax.
