TAFT ASKS 2 PER Gent,
TAX ON CORPORATIONS
President, in Special Message, Rec
ommends Levy Upon the Net
Earnings.
WOULD INVITE AID OF STATES.
Congress Advised to Seek Constitu-
tional Amendment Allowing AS
sessment on Incomes.

Recommending legislation looking
the net income of corporations and
also the adoption of an amendment
TO the constitution providing for the
imposition Of an income tax without
an apportionment among the several
states, President Taft Wednesday sent
TO Congress a message embodying his
views on the subject. This action fol-
lowed protracted special meeting of
the cabinet.
In his message the president speai5s
of the apparent inability of Congress
to agree to an inheritance tax, and as
regards an income tax, he refers to
the decision of the Supreme Court in
the case of Pollock VS.. the Farmers
Loan and Trust Company, in which
the court held the tex to be uneonsti-
tutional unless apportioned according
to population. 1T is" says the priest
dent, undoubtedly a power which the
government ought to have. 1t might
be indispensable to the nations life in
great crises"
The amendment, therefore, he de-
clares, is the only proper course. Such
an amendment to the constitution, he
contended, was preferable to the one
proposed of reviving a law judieially
declared to be unconstitutional. The
amendment which he proposes should
be made to the tariff bill provides for
the imposition upon all corporations
and joint stock companies for profit,
except national banks (otherwIse tax
ed, savings banks and building and
loan associations, of an excise tax of
2 per cent on the net income of the
corporations. This, it is estimated by
him, will bring an annual revenue of
$25,000,000. This is a tax on privi-
lege and not on property" he says,
and is within the federal power with
out apportionment according to popu-
lation."
The president points out that an.
other merit to the tax on corporations
is the federal supervision, which will
give to the government, the stockhold-
ers and the public knowledge of the
real business transactions and the
gains and profits of every corporation
in the country. The adoption of the
amendment, he says, will make a long
step toward that supervisory control
Of corporations which may prevent a
further abuse of power"

MINISTER'S GUST FOSTER.
Expelled from Chicago Conference on
Account of HereticaI Views.

Expelled from Chicago Conference on
Account of Heretical Views.
Professor George Rurman Foster on
Monday was expelled from the Chica-
go Baptist Ministers Conference be-
cause of the alleged heretical beliefs
expressed in his recent book on THE
Function of Religion" After a long
and heated debate, in which the cler.
gyman INDUCED in bitter personalities,
the organization at its weekly meeting
decided by a vote of 40 to 10 to drop
the University Of Chicago professor
from its membership. The action does
not affect Professor Fosters standing
as Baptist minister, but simply ad-
vocates disapproval of him and takes
from him the right of fellowship in
the conference. The resolution finally
passed was stripped of all unnecessary
verbiage, and in such form was able
to command the support Of number
who disliked the sort of tactics pur-
sued by the foes of Professor Foster.
AS introduced by Rev. Johnston My
ers, leader of the anti-Foster forces,
the original resolution recited the var
ious accusations against Professor Fos-
ter and declared his retention in the
association injurious to the denomina-
ton. 1t also called upon the trustees
of the University of Chicago to dismiss
Professor Foster from the faculty of
the institution. With the consent of
Mr.. Myers the resolution was amended
and simplified until its final form, as
passed, was as follows: Resolved,
That the Baptist Ministers Conference
of Chicago drop Professor George Bur
man Foster from its membership"
