the unique distinction that he is the

FORECAST OF NEWS
CORPORATION TAX LIvEsT THING
COMING UP.
Just what Day The subject VIII he
Haken Up No One Seems
To he Able to Say,
Definitely.

Washington. June 27-The corpora
ton tax question will receive the at
tention of the Senate during the
present week. Just when the subject
will be taken up no one can say
definitely. for that point must depend
upon the time TO be devoted to the con-
sideration OF the few schedules yet to
be considered In connection with the
tariff. The number of these PROPOSE
tions Is so limited that the friends of
the bill are extremely optimistic about
disposing of them In short order.
They. however, embrace the questions
of cotton ties, cotton bagging and
binding Irvine, and there are possibili-
ties for much discussion In connection
with all three items. The Southern
Senators will make a determined.
though probably a losing fight In favor
of free bagging and TOBACCO. contend
Ing that IL binding Irvine Is to go on
the undutiabie list to satisfy the far
mers of the northwest. the other ar
tfcles should be given the same treat
ment to crafty the farmers OF the
South. Much attention has been given
to this subject by the Southern men.
but with high temperature prevailing
and the general debate frightening IL
lie possible that they may consent TO
curtail/the discussion.
Other articles still requiring atten-
ton are cotton and cotton waste.
arsenic, clay, asphaltusn and feldspar.
There will also be a further effort to
amend the provisions relating to steel
rails and structural steel.
With these items disposed of. the
Senate will enter Immediately upon the
consideration OF the corporation tax
question which will come up in connec-
ton with the income tax amendment
previously offered by Senator Bailey.
Many speeches are promised on these
two subjects and they will be jointly
considered. The corporation tax pro-
vision Of President Taft will be pre-
scented as q substitute for the Bailey
amendment and the fight will turn
largely upon the comparative merits
of the two measures. The supporters
of the administration are very con-
fident of success. They have made
thorough canvass of the republican
side of the Senate and say but eight
votes for the corporation provision,
will be lost from among republican
senators. The democrats win general
ly vote for the income tax. but with
that out OF the way, many of them will
give their adherence to the provision
for Ieyying tribute upon the corpora
lions. Estimates OF the time required
for the disposition OF this question
vary all the way from one week to
two weeks.
After the corporation tax will come
the administrative features of the bill.
the max smum and minimum rate and
drawback provisions and other related
questions, all of which will require dis
cussion. Only extremely hot weather
can force action on the bill within less
than three weeks time.
The House has nothing before it, and
probably will adjourn from Monday to
Thursday and again from Thursday to
Monday without attempting any legis-
lation.
