MAY TAX CORPORATIONS,
President and Senate Confer Upon
Proposed Measure.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-President
Taft entertained at dinner tonight the
republican members of the senate
finance committee and Senator Root
and there followed a conference on the
proposed tax on the net earnings of
corporations.
In can be stated authoritively that
the amendments will apply to all cor.
porations, without regard to their cap.
ital stock. 1t is likely, however, that
the tax will apply only 10 earnings in
excess of s., 900 a year. This will re.
move the burden from small corpora
tions without subjecting the measure
to constitutional objection by reason
of the exemptions. This provision
vas worked out by the members of the
finance committee today and was ex-
planned to President Taft. The latter
recognized the wisdom of the sugges.
ton and said If it strikes the attorney
general and secretary of state favor.
ably, the amendment will be drawn
accordingly.
Although much progress has been
made during the past week by the sen.
ate in considering the tariff bill, the
date at which a final vote on the meas.
ure can be looked for is as indefinite
as it was a week ago, it was said to-
night. A large number of paragraphs
covering duties on important articles
remain to be disposed of in addition
to the special revenue features and
administrative sections.
However, as there is less DISPOSE
ton to discuss the theoretical prob.
lens of the tariff, it may be expected
that the various matters will be dis
cussed more apidly and with fewer
speeches. While few members will
venture a prediction as to the date of
the vote, the possibility of sending the
bill back to the house by the first OF
July is now generally considered as
extremely remote.
