EIGHT REPUBLICANS
VOTE AGAINST TAX
BY Vote Of 60 to II Senate Amend.
ment Suggested BY Taft to Al.
drieh-Payne Tariff Bill.

Washington. p G.. July S.-The cor
poration tax amendment, suggested by
President Taft, drawn by Attorney
General wickersham and presented TO
the senate by Mr. Aldrich, chairman of
the committee on finance. is an integ,
raj part OF the tariff bin as that bill
now stands.
After much tribulation the senate
reached a vote on the proposition
shortly before adjourning az Z o'clock
last evening and the amendment was
agreed 10 by the vote of go to IL. With
all modifying amendments disposed OK
many democrats voted with most Of
the republicans for the amendment
OF the eleven negative votes eight
were cast by republicans and three by
democrats, the republicans being
Borah Bristow, Buckley Clapp, cain.
Minis. Dolliyer. Hepburn and La Fol-
lette and the democrats Chamberlain.
Hughes and Shively.
The affirmative vote was as follows:
Aldrich. Bradley Braudegee, Briggs,
Brown, Burkett, Burnham, Burrows,
Burton, Carter, Clark. Wyoming
Crawford Cullom, Curtis, Depew, Dick,
Dillingham;. Dixon. Dupont. Elkins,
Flint, Frye, Gallinger, Gamble. Gug-

and Wetmore republicans, and Bailey,
Bankhead, Cuberson. Daniel. Davis
Fletcher, Foster. Gore, Johnson, Nc
Emery McLaurin, Martin, Money, New
lands, Rayner Talliaferro and Taylor
democrats.
With the corporation tax amend.
ment out of the way the maximum and
minimum proposition probably will be
taken up.
The real effect of the Taft-Aldrlch
substitute for the income tax is shown
by Senator Borah of Idaho (progres.
sive republican, Note Mr. Borah's
words carefully. and you will under.
stand why Aldrich thought up a way
to beat the income tax:
The Aldrich plan to tax the net
earnings OF corporations, when com
pared to an income tax, il only an.
other way to shift the burden of the
tax to the consumer and producer at
the bottom. II mans income is $40,
600, and the law tells him he must puy
per cent on that income to the gov
ernment there is no way for him to
shift that tax. But if it is a corpora
ton that has an income of $4,000. md
the government comes along and puts
a per cent tax on those earnings.
the corporation turns around and adds
the tax to the price of the goods Il
sells or takes enough from the wages
of is men to make up the difference.
That is the situation IN a 1utshell7
Many friends Of genuine income
tax believe that President Taft has
made a very serious blunder One re.
publican said
Mr. Taft is on record as fayoring
a straight out income tax He has
said in speeches and official messages
that he considered It unnecessary to
amend the constitution In order to
have a perfectly sound and legal iu.
come tax Mr. Taft ruches in with
message asking for a constitutional
amendment and for a corporation tax
In place Of an income tax How In the
world is be to reconcile his present
conduct with his past declarations?

DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause.

Many daily habits, particularly Of
eating and drinking, are formed by fol,
lowing our elders.
In this way Ill health is often fas-
tened upon children. A Ga. lady says:
had been allowed to drink coffee
ever since could remember, but even
as a child ] had weak stomach.
which frequently refused to retain
food.
The taste Of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as found
out later, the cause Of the stomach re.
belling against food.
Il now see that it was only from fol
lowing the example OF my elders that
] formed and continued the miserable
habit OF drinking coffee. My digestion
remained poor, nerves unstrung, fre-
quent headache, and yet did not sus-
pect the true cause.
Another trouble was a bad. muddy
complexion for which spent time and
money for creams, massaging, etc.
without any results.
