1 NEED INCOME TAX TO PHY EXPENSES, Cummins Contends New Im post Both Just and Necessary. PREDICTS BIG DEFICIT Towa Senator Says Without Tax on Incomes, $175,000,000 Will Be Amount In 1911 Borah Joins Attack on Aldrich. WASHINGTON. June 30. The Income tax was practically the only subject, and Cummins or Iowa and Borah of Idaho the only speakers before the Senate today. Borah was heard toward the close of the session, when the Iowa Senator yield ed the floor, which he had held since yesterday. He took for his text the dec laration made yesterday by Aldrich that he would vote for the corporation tax amendment only as a means of defeating the Income tax. and without resorting to personalities he criticised fhe position of the chairman of the finance committee, who had presented the corporation tax amendment to the Senate. Need Income Tax for Revenue. Cummins took the floor as soon as a quorum could be obtained and held It until 4:30 o'clock In the afternoon. Much of the time today was devoted to the consideration of the Natlon'B finances, but considerable attention was also given to the general merits of a tax on in comes, which Cummins defended as the most rational, because the most Just, of all taxes. Estimating the total revenues under the Aldrlch-Payne bill at ST6O.0O0.00O and those to be derived from the Internal revenue at $2),ono.00O. he predicted that at the end of fhe fiscal year 1911 there would be a deficit of not less than J175.O0O.O0O. He therefore contended that the amendment of the tariff bill by the addition of an income tax was necessary in order to produce sufficient revenue. Kxprcts Defeat of Amendment. Cummins said If the finance commit tee s resolution providing for the submis sion to the states of a constitutional amendment for an income tax should be presented to the Senate, he would vote for it. but not with any hope of its success He did not doubt that there would be enough opposltiton In a suffi cient number of states to defeat the proposition. Borah spoke in support of a straight income tax amendment to the tariff bill He declared his opposition to ihe cor poration tax, which he regards as another means for taxing the consumers of the country. He favored the income tax. he said, because It would have made possible a distribution of the burdens of the Government between the consumers and the wealthy. The proceedings were begun with the i U J? Kean- of an emphatic ?ut i"1 th BulMln & Loan Asso ;iation League of New Jersey, against the inclusion of building and loan asso ciations in the corporation tax Evi dently Mr. Kan was not averse to pa tenting It. v Irony Aimed at Aldrich.
