" By John E. "Lathrop. ,
r - Waahlngton. July . Much dlacusalon
arose ner u to who originated tn pro
posal for the taxation of net earnings
of corporation. Opponent 'of .It who
were Instating on the income tax as
aerted that it was a device of obTlouB
Jntent to sidetrack the Ineom - tax
.brought forward lmply-to find ome
thlng to make Impossible the success pf
' It transpire that there 1 undeniable
authority for the statement that the
president carried It In mind long before it
was proposed, and it seem a equally true
' that Senator Bourne waa one of. the chief
" advisers of the president, who Induced
him to adopt It. . - ' -
Senator Bourne dwell especially upon
the publicity features of theroposal
. aa of chief value, and stated to me today
that he aincerely believed that it would
prove to be the .beginning of President
Taft's campaign, bound to be successful,
to Inaugurate control of the great Inter
state corporations of the nation. J ;
South aa President' Triend. t,';
Senator Bourne today made public a
letter which he wrote to the president
before the president sent his special
message to congress advocating .the net
earnings tax amendment to the tariff
bill. I was permitted to read thla let
ter before the message waa sent In. and
therefor know, that it wa written then
and from good authority also know that
th. lirvinir of Senator bourne wa a
large If -not determinative element in I
tno maxing up 01 uie jneBiuui uiwv
on that aublect.
I record thi aa one of the fact per
tinent' to; the. present-' bitter debates
which re running on the net earning
tax proposals. - ,
Senator Bourne has been earning, the
title of "friend of the president." He
wa close to President Roosevelt, and
hss gotten very close to President Taft
since the latter became first a candidate
and tater the president-elect,1 and then
chief executive. : He play golf almost
