I therefore recommend an amend
ment to the tariff bill imposing upon
al corporations and joint stock com
panies for profit. except national
banks otherwise taxed), savings
banks and building and lean societies
an income tax mea sured by per cent
OF the net income Of such institutions.
This is an excise tax upon the privi-
lege Of doing business as an artificial
entity and of freedom from a general
partnership liability enjoyed by those
VINO own the stock.
I am informed that a per cent tax
Of this character would bring into the
treasury Of the United States not less
than $4,000. goo
The decision of the supreme court in
the case Of the Spreckels sugar refin-
ing company against McClain seems
clearly to establish the fact that such
tax as this is an excise tax upon
privilege and not a direct tax on prop
erty and is within the federal power
without appOrtionment according to
population

TAX IS URGED

Taft's Message to Senate Rec
Ommends Provision for Reve-
nue. in Tariff Bill
Income Tax by Constitutional
Amendment and Necessary
Resolution Suggested

42s) was held by the supreme court to
be z direct tax and therefore not with
IN the power of the federal government
10 impose unless appOruOned among
The several states according 10 popu-
lstion
This new proposal, which ] did not
discuss in my inaugural address or my
message TO the opening of the present
session makes 1t appropriate for me to
submit TO con gress certain additional
Recommendation
Government Needs Power
The decision of the supreme court in
the income tax cases depriVes the ma
tiOnal government Of a power which,
by reason of previous decisions OF the
court, ii was generally supposed the
government had Ii is undoubtedly
power the national government ought
TO have. II might be Indispensable to
the nations life in a great crisis.
Although I have not considered
constitutional amendment as necessary
10 the exercise of certain phases or
this power. q mature consideration has
- tisfed ne that an amendment is the
only proper course for its establishment
10 its fulI extent. / therefore recon-
mend TO the congress that both houses,
by tWo-Jhirds vote. shall propose an
amendment TO the constitution confer
ring the power to levy an income tax
upon the national government without
apportionment among the states in pro-
portion OF population
Amendment a Wise Course
This course is much to be preferred
To the one proposed. Of re-enacting a
law once judiCiaily declared to be I'M
constitutional. For congress to assume
that the court viii reverse itself. and to
enact legislation on such assumption
VIII not strengthen popular confidence
in the stability of the judicial construc-
ton Of the constitution. It is much
wiser policy TO accept the constitution
and remedy the defect in due and reg
ular course.
again il is clear that by the enact
lnent OF the proposed law, the congress
VIII not be bringing money into the
as. but by putting on the statute book
a law already there and never repealed
VIII simply be suggesting to the exec
GtlVe officers OF the government their
possible duty TO invoke litigation
II the court should maintain its for
mer view no tax would be collected at
all II il should ultimately reverse it.
self still no taxes would have been
collected until after protracted delay
Confidence in People
II is said the difficulty and delay in
securing the approval Of three fourths
Of the states viii destroy III chance of
adopting the amendment. OF course no
one can speak with certainty upon this
point, but I have become convinced
that great majority of the people of
THIS country are in favor of VeSting
the national government with power
10 levy an income tax.
second, the decision in the Pollock
case left power in the national govern
ment 10 levy an excise tax which ac-
comp fishes the same purpose a s a cor
poratlon income tax and is free from
certain objections urged TO the pro-
posed income tax measure

Had NOTHING But TroubIe.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.N
Mrs. ~Stuyvesant Fish is an anti-suf-
fraset. She has joined the anti
sul1ra2et organization. the National
League for the Civic Federation of
Women. At Il luncheon the other day
She said:
1T isn't possible for women to do
the same work as men, day in and day
out, in good weather and in foul. For
instance. what woman could be a post
man. out in all kinds of weather, and
at all hours. walking miles daily?"
She smiled.
"A woman postman would compare
with q male n as the begger COM
pares with the millionaire.
you've got no grounds to envy me-
said the millionaire to the begger. I've
got just as many troubles as you have
No doubt you're right. boss said
the beggcr, humbly. But the difficulty
With me is, l amt got nothin' else.'"

A Wifs'. Letter.

~ WifeS Letter.
Dear heart, you ask IL time has changed
h love of long ago;
If summers flush of owe is past
h love we cherished so
Because, with hand in hand, we walk
Together in the snow.
We cannot turn life's season back
However much we grieve
That summers s~olstice days are gone
w cannot once deceive
These hearts SO versed in loves true low
With any make believe.
The roses, pearled with fancy's dew.
NO onger meet our glance.
The lily stalks Of sentiment
We look at half askance,
And smile. perhaps. to think they once
Were fragrant with omance
Content us so! We own the change;
We know the splendid hours
Have gone with all their drift Of cloud
AND gust OF rainbow showers.
And love has had his summer time
For these twain hearts of ours
And vet loves lurid atmosphere
Hath known no clearer shine: y
The birds that linger never sang
With trills-tf few-so fine;
The starlight as we walk beneath
Seemed never so divine.
And, as my heart IN curtained hus;
Sits wrapped in dreamy bliss,
Beside our lareS fires and feels
The warmth of clasp and kiss
l wonder If our summer love
Were half SO sweet as this.

THE HAREM.

Frank Carpenter, a writer, visited
Yildiz Kiosk several years ago and this
is what he said of the harem: \
THE sultan's wives are all Of slave
origin. The danger OF assassination
from the harem has made it the Gus.
tom of Turkey for the sultan not to
marry. This prevents the political in.
trigues of a many branched royal fam.
lily, and all of the sultans have had
slave mothers. Abdul Hamid had, ]
was told, 1000 women in his royal ser.
aglto, and a IS this number is recruited
every year by slaves from Georgia and
Ctrcassia, the imperial harem probably
contains that number now.
ut is curious to know what is done
with such a horde of wives in case Of
the death Of a sultan. It is said that
the grandfather Of Abdul Hamid
sewed up nearly 200 of the wives of his
predecessors in sacks and loaded the
sacks with shot. He then dropped them
into the Bosphorus in order that there
might be no t%reachery among the la
dies of the palace. 1 saw a number
