 "The corporation tax is just and equitable excise measure, which it is hoped will produce sufficient amount to prevent a deficit and which incl dentally will secure valuable statis- tics and information concerning the many corporations of the country, and will constitute an important step toward that degree of publicity and regulation which the tendency in cor porate enterprises in the last twenty years has shown to be necessary

Taft Issues Statement.

PreSldent 1d1t gave out statement giving his views of the new tariff act, which he designaues officially as the Payne bill," in accordance with past custom of giving first recognition to the framer of the measure, in the house of representatives
 The statement in part follows:
 'I have signed the Payne tariff bill because I believe it to be the result of sincere effort on the part of the Republican party to make a downward revision, and to comply with the promises of the platform as they have been generally understood, and as I interpreted them in the campaign be- fore election.
 "This is not perfect tariff bill, or a complete compliance with the promises made strictly interpreted but fulfillment free from criticism in re- spect to subject matter involving many schedules and thousands of articles could not be expected It suf- fees to say that except with regard to whisky, liquors and wines and in regard to silks and as to some high classes of cottons-all of which may be treated as luxuries and proper sub- jects of revenue tariff-there have been very few increases in rates.
 This is not a free trade bill It was not intended to be. The Repub- liean party did not promise to make a free trade bill
 Tt promised to make the rates pro- tective, but to reduce them when they exceeded the difference between the cost of prcAuction abroad and here, making allowance for the greater normal profit on active investments here. I believe that while this excess has not been reduced in a number of cases, in a great majority, the rates are such as are necessary to protect American industries, but are low enough in case of abormal increase of demand, and raising of prices, to per. init the possibility of the importation of the foreign article and thus to pre- vent excessive prices.
 ''The power granted to the execu tive under the maximum and mini mum clause may be exercised tc secure the removal of obstacles which have been interposed by foreign gov ernments in the way of undue and un fair discrimination against American merchandise and products.
 "The Philippine tariff section have struggled to secure for ten years past | and it gratifies me exceedingly by my
