FAVOR CORPORATION TAX,
Poll Of Congress Indicates Adoption
Of New Measure.

WASHINGTON, Jun 22.-Before the
senate takes up President Taft's pro
gram for the taxation of net earning:
of corporations, the leaders will know
how every member intends to vote or
the subject. The most careful poll
that can be made will be In the hands
of Senator Aldrich tomorrow and will
be communicated to the president.
1t appears that the finance commit.
tee members were justified in assuring
the president, as they did last night,
that the measure would be adopted.
Representative John Dwight, of New
York, the repu blican whip, promised
senate leaders today that if the sen ate
incorporates the incorpor alton tax
plan in the tariff bill, the amendment
will be retained by the house.
The fact that republican house lead.
ers, including Speaker Cannon and
Representative Payne assured the
president that the corporate tax
amendment would meet with favor in
the house, is said to preclude the pos.
sibility of defeat there.
Attorney General Wickersham and
Sen ator Root determined today that
the measure should be made "amend.
ment proof" before offered to the SEN
ate. 1t is the intention of the senate
leaders to resist any amendment tn at
may be offered.

ROBBED BY TOBACCO TRUST.
An Interesting Contribution To Tariff
Debate BY 6everidge.


WASHINGTON, June 24.-Sen ator
Beveridge addressed the senate at
length today in support Of his amend
ment changing the size of tobacco
packages In force since the Spanish.
American war tax was levied. By re.
pealing the tax without increasing the
size, the senator claimed that the
American Tobacco company had
been the recipient of many millions of
dollars it never should have received.
"As long as we kept on collecting
the war taxes" he explained, the
package was just, but now instead OF
paying it to the government, the to bac.
CO manufacturer pays it to himself.
The course of the senate today was
the reverse of it's course yesterday,
the entire day being given over to
speeches. A short time before ad.
journment tonight at o'clock, the
senate returned to the consider alton
of the tariff schedule. Amendments
were adopted increasing the duty on
shoes from Is to 20 per cent. ad valo.
rem. and increasing the duty on shoe
leather from 5 to 10 per cent. advalo.
rem. the lower figure representing the
house rate in each case. An amend
ment increasing the duty on collodior
was adopted.
Senator Bailey of Texas in the sen.
ate today denounced the import alton
of free raw materials as unjust and
undemocratic, asserted that instead o1
that being the policy of the democrat
ic party, that party had never &C.
cepted such proposition until 1886,
He traced the history of tariff making
to prove the assertion.
He declared that the proposition to
exempt manuf acturers from the pay
ment of moderate duty on raw ma.
terial is unjust and unequal. When
the tariff was removed from raw ma.
terlals, he said, it becomes necessary
to increase the tariff on other articles
in order to raise revenues.
