ROOT ON CORPORATION TAX

From the Wilmington Times.
After years of demagoguery, So
phistry and buncomb on the sub
iect of tariff, it has remained for
Elihu Root, junior senator from
| New York, to state in public de-
bate the actual facts regarding the
methods of the Republican party
/ in framing a tariff bill. Said Mr..
Root, speaking in support of the
| CORPORATION tax, 1--WE have been
here for over three months con-
sidering and discussing and vot-
ling upon the measure of protect
ton that it is necessary to give
to keep alive and prosperous the
business of tens of hundreds of
| thousands of corporations engag-
ed in manufacture and trade af-
fected by the protective tariff.
What do we know about these cor
porations? Upon one hand we
have garbled and partial state
ments; upon the other, equally
garbled and partial statements ;
and no means of Distinguishing the
truth. We are under the necessity
of proceeding by guess work, by
conjecture, always with dissatis-
faction because we recognize the
chance that we may have guessed
wrong about whose statements
come nearest to the truth. / should
| like to see in the office of Com
missioner of Internal Revenue the
next time a tariff bill comes be-
fore Congress statements, under
oath, and tested year by year,
about the business of all this vast
multitude of corporations that
come appealing to us for help, so
that we shall not again be COM
PEELED to come to the conclusion
! that all the business in the United
/ States is on the brink of failure"
! Never was there a franker state
ment of the method by which tar
if bills are framed than that made
/ by the senator from New York.
Senators and representatives, a
large majority of whom are law
yers, have accepted almost with
out question the ex parte state
ments of interested persons and
/ companies and have fixed tariff
rates in accordance with their rep
reservations and demands. The
current tariff revision is by no
means the revision downward i'm
piled by the Republican platform
and specifically promised by the
Republican presidential candidate.
But present indications all point
to the inclusion in the tariff bill
of certain provisions which will
preclude in the future the hit or
miss methods of the past and rem
der il impossible for senators and
/ Representatives eNtravagantly to
swell the profits of their manufac-
turing constituents at the expense
of the consumer without detec-
ton.
