Taft Tax Proposal Seen Positive Yet Modest
Analysis from Poor's Manual shows Taft's 2 percent tax on net incomes of corporations and joint stock companies would yield about 2.33 million from a dozen major firms in 1907, plus broader rail and industrial earnings. The piece argues the plan could raise hundreds of millions if extended to more firms, noting large entities like U S Steel and American Tobacco would contribute sizable sums under a 2 percent levy.

Senate Gets Letters On German Industrial Costs For Tariff Revision
Washington June 16. President Taft transmits to the Senate the correspondence between the State Department and Germany tied to German industrial costs used in tariff revision. The Foreign Office okayed data sharing but kept establishment names confidential and said data not for administration. German chambers dispute hearings data as outdated and claim wage and cost details were misrepresented. They argue American wages reflect high U S rates while German wages use low rates and social costs were ignored. Emphasis is on German production costs versus American labor efficiency.
