Taft's visit to New York on Saturday
it is said, will be made the occasion
of an important political conference
regarding New York state conditions.
Efforts will be made to have Gov.
Hughes attend the conference and it

discuss possible candidates for gov

The republicans are said to be anx-
iOus to get n candidate who will have

Washington, FEB. 10.-Senator
William L. Borah, of Idaho, took
occasion in the Senate today to at
tack the position of those who oppose
acceptance by the several states of
the proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States which
would permit the levying of a tax on
incomes without apportionment be-
tween the states.
Incidentally the senator paid his
respects to Governor Hughes, of New
York, including him by inference
among those who profess to be in
favor of an income tax but oppose
practical measures which would per-
nit its enforcement.
Senator Borah pictured the mind
of the public as in state of suspicion
and discomfort toward the govern
ment, and declared that the people
could not much longer be withheld
from radical action ii taxation were
continued in protection of wealth
and in exemption of incomes which
sustain luxury and breed idleness and
idiocy." The senator said in sub
stance:
THE history of the income tax
since 1894 has not been one which
any citizen can recite with pride, For
n hundred years rule of construc-
ton as established by the men who
helped to write the constitution had
received the approval of an undivided
court time and time again. During
this period the wealth of this coun-
try had not become so domineering,
so powerful. so determined to have
its own way. During this period,
therefore, we had under the constitu-
ton the right to impose part of the
tax upon wealth and a part upon
consumption and we did so.
"In 1894, and 1895 these prece-
dents were overturned, this constitu-
tion received an Interpretation un-
known to its makers. In the face of
two powerful dissenting opinions to
which two other judges assented, the
humiliating and astounding doctrine
was announced that the makers of the
republic had hedged wealth about so
that the taxing powers of the gov
ernment could not reach it even in
time of war; that the founders Of a
government based upon equality and
justice had made it impossible to di
vide the burdens of government he

Washington. Feb. 10.-The report
of the commissioner of corporations
was made public today. In part it
says:
The deepest interest of this gen.
Grafton lies in the control of its dom
inant commercial forces. The issue
is moral. involving deeply our Amer
ican ideal of equal opportunity under
the law. 1t Is financial, and on its
outcome depends the ultimate stabil-
ity of our business system.
The corporation has become the
accepted machinery, for handling
these forces. 1t is the artificial crea-
ture of the community. We have
given it great powers and exemptions
not permitted to the individual. We
have made It effective. We have
likewise made 1t capable of sinister
misuse.
The corporation has concentrated
enormous commercial power in the
hands of few men. At the same
time 1t has lessened their personal
responsibility for the proper use of
that power. Sense of personal obli-
CATION to the community becomes
3ubmerged In vast corporate entities
The resulting abuses call for some
