Taft backs income tax as revenue option in tariff debate
Washington May 6 President Taft maintains that if import duties cannot raise enough revenue a graduated federal inheritance tax would be fair and easy to collect. He supports an excise tax on corporate dividends and, as a last resort, an income tax. Senate resistance to the Aldrich tariff plan delays adjournment and a new tariff bill requires lengthy cross chamber talks.
