THINK THAT MESSAGE
WILL KILL INCOME TAX
Taft Plan for Corporation Assessments Is Outlined at
Conference the Path of Tariff
Change

of the amendment in the States. if pro-
posed TO them,
Second. the decision in the Pollock
case left power in the National Govern
ment to levy an excise tax which ac-
cOmplishes the same purpose a sa cor
pcratton income tax, and is free from
certain objections urged to the proposed
income tax measure.
/ therefore recommend an amendment
TO the tariff bill imposing upon all cor
porations and joint stock companies for
profit. except national banks otherwise
taxed, savings banks, and building and
loan associations, an excise tax meas
ured by two per cent on the net income
of such corporations.
This is an excise tax upon the privi-
iege of doing business as an artificial
entity and of freedom from a general
partnership liability enjoyed by those
who own the stock.
Good for S2o,ooo,ooo.
I am Informed that two per cent tax
of this character would bring into the
Treasury Of the United States not less
than S25.OOO.OO0
The decision Of the Supreme Court in
the case of Spreckels Sugar Refining
Company against Mccain Q92 u. S. 800
seems clearly to establish the principle
that such a tax as this is an excise tax
upon privilege and not direct tax on
property. and is within the Federal
power without appol tionment according
to population. The tax on income IS
preferable TO one propcl Tomato TO per-
centage Of the gross receipts, because
Il is a tax upon success and not failure
It imposes a burden at the source of
the income at time when the corpora
ton is well able 70 pay and when col
lection is easy.
Another merit of this tax is the Fed
eTal supervision which must be exer-
in, he lax
over the annual accounts and business
transactions of all corporations. While
the faculty of assuming a corporate
form has been of the utmost utility in
the business world. it is also true that
substantially all of the abuses and all
of the evils which have aroused the pub
lie TO the necessity of reform were made
possible by the use of this very faculty.
Can Get At Books.
If now by perfectly legitimate and
effective system OF taxation we are In
cidentally able to possess the Govern
ment and the stockholders and the pub
lie of the knowledge of the real bust
ness transactions and the gains and
profits of every corporation in the coun-
try, we have made long step toward
that supervisory control Of corporations
which may prevent further abuse of
power.
I recommend, then. first, the adop-
tAOn OF a joint resolution by two-thirds
OF both Houses. proposing to the States
an amendment to the Constitution
granting to the Federal Government: the
right to levy and collect an income tax
without superintendent among the
States according to population, and, sec
Ond. the enactment, as part of the pend
ing revenue measure, either as sub
stitute for, or in additi8. TO. the inherit
lance tax. of an exercise tax upon all
corporations, measured by ? per cent
of their net income.
