Washington. June 16.--Preefdent
Taft tomorrow will send to Congress

amendment to the tariff bill, imposing
q tax OF two per cent. on the undfs-
trtbuted net earnings Of corporations
and the adoption Of resolution sub
hitting to the several States an
Congress the power to impose a tax
ON incomes. sH
Z This understanding was reached at
q session of the Cabinet today and
was approved by Republican leaders
OF the Senate who conferred with tho
President during the afternoon and
evening. ss.a
In order that there shall be no ques-
tion that the two propositions to be
recommended have the support Of the
administration, Attorney General
Wickersham, according ito present
plans, will draft both the amendment
and the resolution. II 10 expected
that the corporation tax amendment.
when offered, will be. referred to the
committee on finance and that the
resolution submitting the question Of
amending the constitution win no to
the committee on judiciary. IS. Y
Doubtless both OF these will report
promptly so that all Of the questions
involved, may be disposed Of oil Fri
day. when the pending income tax
amendment will be taken up for coz
alteration.
In view of the emphat Ito stand taken
by President Taft against direct tax
upon incomes, In the face Of the de-
eision OF the Supreme Court of the
United States on that subject and his
preference for the proposed tax on
the earnings Of corporations, a NUM-
Der Of the progressive Republicans

Republicans are satisfied with this
administration program and It 10 prob

so are expected to indulge In strong
criticisms denunciatory of the tax
on corporations az a substitute for
direct tax on incomes.
Not only Ia the President favorable
to an amendment providing for q tax

produce, but much more so on ac-
count of the fact that he believes It

an ocean vayage between Hawaii and

As to Automobiles.

Is the automobile a luxury or me- cessity Up to 1895 there were 70 au- tomobiles in the United States, valued at s157,500. In 1904 over 20,000 cars were built and sold in this country, at an average price of s2,200. In 1908 55,000 cars were built. The number this year is put at S2.OO0 machines, of an average price of $1,250. Now, for next year the number of machines es- timated is 2e0,00O, valued at $240, ,o00,- 900, or s1,200 average.
 With the ratio of one car to every 200 of the population of the United States the number of cars in use in this country next year will indicate that the automobile, if not a necessity, is far from being a luxury for rich men. The ratio of use indicates that, with an average of five persons in a family. one family in every 40 will have an automobile by the end of next year. It is true that this. indicates that only 2 1N2 per cent. of all families own machineA
 The one great value of the automo e bile in the economic sense is that it tends to restore the city dweller to the country. With the further develop ment of the machine itself, and espe- cially with the advance of the good roads movement, the day cannot be far distant when the automobile, instead of being a rich mans toy or fad, shall be as necessary to mans use as the four legged motor upon whom man has depended so long.-Seattle Post Intelli- gencer.
