Taft Proposes New Amendment to Establish Income Tax
President Taft urges a constitutional amendment to allow a federal income tax via a 2 percent excise tax on net income of corporations, excluding banks and certain savings bodies. He argues this would fund deficits, provide federal oversight, and avoid direct property taxes while preserving corporate privilege. The proposal stems from Pollock and Spreckels Sugar cases and aims for rapid state adoption.
