Virginian Plans 20 Mile Rock to Poca hontas Branch
Reports from Bluefield state the Virginian railway will clear the right of way for a Rock to Pocahontas Virginia branch about twenty miles long. About 200 men will be employed soon to grade the line and push completion rapidly. The route would place the Virginian in direct competition with Norfolk and Western feeders and connect with major coal regions. The plan reflects late H H Rogers policy of building to the seaboard via shortest routes and then adding branch lines to coal fields.

Taft Optimistic But Senators Are Not
Washington June 21 President Taft stays confident about his corporation tax plan while several senators visiting the White House say the measure will keep the senate in session past August first. Senator Elkins predicts many remarks in the senate as debate continues. He warns corporations would seek ways to dodge the tax, including increased salaries and expenditures. Taft argues a two percent tax on net earnings is not heavy enough to deter large firms from paying taxes. He contemplates bond issuance limits tied to capital stock to curb shifts into bonds, though double taxation on the corporation may be the only reachable route for bondholders. Attorney General Wickersham and Senator Root are preparing a draft law with Root joining after a conference. Constitutionality questions do not trouble the president.
