TAFT HOPEFUL FOR
CORPORATION TAX
President Not Worried Regard
ing COnstitutionality of Pro-
posed Assessment Bill

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Taft is de-
cidedly optimistic over the outlook for
his corporation tax, but number of
senators who called at the White
House today declared that the propo-
sition would keep the senate in ses-
sion until long past August 1. Sena-
tor Elk1nS was one of the callers and
declared he and others would have
some remarks to make in the senate
when the new scheme of taxation is
considered <Elkins believes all cor
porations would attempt to avoid pay
ment of the tax.
Taft, on the other hand, does not be-
lieve that per cent tax on net earn
ings is heavy enough to make any of
the larger corporations resort to eva
sive measures. Some provision may
be made as to the issuance of bonds in
the future to provide that the interest
shall be paid only from net earnings.
Attorney General -Wickersham and
Senator Root are jointly preparing a
draft of the new law.
Questions as to the constitutionality
of the proposed tax do not disturb the
president. The right to impose such
a tax has been distinctly upheld in a
case before the supreme court-that
of Spreckels against the United States.
There seems now to be but little
doubt that the corporation tax as
passed will exempt earnings of $1,000
and less so as to take any undue bur
dens off the smaller corporations This
is the understanding at the White
House. The collection of the proposed
corporation tax would be under the
direction of the internal revenue bu-
reau. The internal revenue authority
would 10 in a
of corporations of the department of
commerce and labor, and it would fall
70 this latter bureau to keep an eye
upon the corporations as to evasive
measure they might adopt The
method of collection would be similar
to that employed in collecting the
whisky tax.

Moore.

stump to meet the dirty accusations
against me, as l have met your dirty
accusations against me this morning"
Judge Lawlor ruled that he would
not consider any motions bearing on
points already threshed out but con-
scented to allow the question of his own
disqualification to be raised, and at
the earnest request of the defense al
lowed until next Monday morning for
the preparation of affidavits in support
of the motion. AS the matter was be-
ing concluded Heney announced that
it was the intention of the prosecution
to go to trial as soon as possible.

are not ready to go to trial." he de-
clared. Wen give you a chance every
day from now until Mr.. Langdon goes

The Stolen Reports

They were not the same thing" re-
torted Heney. y There has only been
one trial of this defendant, and at the
time of the Ford trials we know that
stolen reports from our Offices were In
your possession"
Farce" spat out A. A. Moore vehe-
mently.
Gross misconduct" added King.
We'll, Mr.. Moore" answered the
court, st is proper to say once and for
all that If you wish a fair trial you
must contribute to it."
YES" answered Moore, "and when
any chastisement is administered by
the court it generally falls on our
shoulders. Your honor has constantly
reprimanded us and blamed us for what
has occurred and has pictured Mr.. Heney
being shot in the performance of his
duty and heaped encomiums upon him."
Judge Lawlor postponed further dis
cussion OF his own attitude until the
promised affidavits were filed. and took
up the other matter, pending the Earl
Rogers incident. He called Rogers to
moned him into his chambers Sunday
because of a report made to him that
Rogers had made animadversions con-
corning the court. He then asked the
attorney to explain the incident.
Rogers admitted that upon being told
by Stanley Moore that the Jury had
been discharged, and Influenced by the
excitement of the moment, and having
in mind Heney's attitude of consenting
Immediately to the discharge of the jury
he had been very emphatic" in his
statements. He declared, however. that
ne had not referred to the courts at
titude in the matter, but to Heney's
He did not repeat the language used
MY reference was to Mr.. Heney's at
titude of consenting Immediately to
the discharge of the jury, remembering
that he had allowed the Ruef jury to
remain out 80 hours"
Il went to know what he means,
your honor" cried Heney. Does he
mean to charge that Mr. Heney had
access to the deputy sheriffs in charge
of that jury and knew from them how
1t stood? Also I want to know If it
is not true thatMr. Rogers said on the
night before the jury came in, while
they were still out, mind you, that the
jury will stand 10 to for acuuittaI
and if it wasn't for a couple of Dutch
men 1t would acquit?''
II am addressing myself to your
honor and do not care to answer Mr..
Heney," responded Rogers with care
less wave of his hand. 1t was his only
answer.
Rogers attention was called to the
fact that the Ruef jury was not out 90
hours, and that Heney was i'll and had
nothing to do with the discharge of
the jury in that case. Judge I.awlor
formally accepted Rogers statement.
