or an- A number of Senators who op- pose tha plan have carried their fears and their troubles to the White House and exhibited them for the President's tion Thus Senator Elkins spent the best part Of an hour there this morning and from what he said when he left President's offices it is evident that he gave Mr Taft a full list of reasons why the proposed tax should not be enacted One of that the tax would fall wholly upon ttm holders of common stock and not at on holders of preferred stock thus naming it equivalent to double taxation Of the common holders President Taft agreed that this would be tho effect un- less a way was found to prevent extra large issues stock Another reason against the plan was that corporations would evade it in all sorts of ways If they were little lows owned largely in one family it would be easy to elect the stockholders to office and pay out in untaxable salaries what would otherwise go to taxable dends It was also pointed out that the distinguish between and capital stock as some corporations raised all their capital by bond issues and had very little stock It was asked what be the effect of the upon cor- that have issued no bonds as compared with those which merely float bonds The one set would upon all their earnings whereas the other set would get away with little or no tax To Get at tlie Bond Issues The President however believes a way has been found to get at overissues of bonds He would do it by providing that be exempted from tax only such part of the earnings of a corporation as will pay the interest on an amount of bonds equal to its capital stock no more Thus taking an illustration used at the White House to-day tion to have in stock and in 0 per cent bonds Suppose it earn and its operating expenses to be only The Interest on the whole would be but under this plan only would be exempted from taxation That would taxable of the re- maining after operating expenses had paid Of course the bondholders get their full interest and the tax of 2 per cent on or would be deducted from the after the interest on the bonds had been paid President Taft has already answered tno objection as to the undue conversion of Into bonds by showing that resort to court proceedings under existing law out prevent that The President and his are considering the Including In the law a provision Which would affect bonds issued after Us at Inane Taft Oat the matter of the evasion of the tax Herbert Knox Smith the Of Corporations disagrees with the dent Mr Taft believes no special of collection is the Internal revenue machinery perhaps o expansion would He would depend on the of Cor- with its special machinery for of corporations to furnish the revenue collectors with as to the corporations which would any successful evasion of Smith
