den at the source of the income at a
time when the corporation is we'll able to
pay, and when collection is easy.
Another merit of this tax is the Fed
eral supervision which must be exercised
n order to make the law effective over the
annual accounts, and business transac-
tions OF all corporations While the faculty
OF assuming a corporate form has been of
the utmost utility in the business world,
Il is also true that substantially all Of
the abuses and all OF the evils which have
aroused the public to the necessity OF re-
form were made possible by the use OF
this very faculty"
Concerning the Inheritance tax the
President says:
Il recommend a graduated irheri-
tance tax on correct principle as GER
tain and easy of collection. The House
OF Representatives has adopted tho
suggestion, and has provided in the
bill it passed dior the collection Of such
tax. In the Senate, the action OF
its finance committee. and the course
OF the debate indicate that it may not
agree to this provision, and it is now
proposed TO make up the deficit by tho
imposition of a Federal income tax in
for mand substance. almost exactly the
same character of that which in the
case of Pollock versus Farmers Loan
& Trust Co., was held by the Supreme
Court TO be direct tax and therefore
not within the power Of the Federal
government 20 impose unless appor-
toned among the several states, ac-
cording TO population.
