June 14.— The Senate leader* have made another concession to the President, and have agreed to waive the time limit they had determined to attach to Mr. Taft's proposi- tion to impose a 2 per cent tax on the net earn- ings of corporations. As a concession to th» advocates of the income tax. they will also era- body In their amendment a provision for a con- stitutional amendment authorizing Congress to impose a tax on individual incomes. Such an amendment will require the approval of three- fourths of the states before it can become effec- tive. Of course, the Republican leaders. Includ- ing the President, do not believe that such ap- proval will be given by so large a majority of ' the states. Early in the day Mr. Aldrich undertook a personal canvass to ascertain the prospect of obtaining \u25a0 majority vote for the corporation tax which it is purposed to report from the Finance Committee. He found that if the col- lection of such a tax were limited to two years and the amendment failed to make provision for the proposed constitutional amendment, it would be impossible t-j obtain its adoption ia preference to the income tax amendment of Messrs. Cummins and Bailey. After further consultation With the President he determined to waive the two-year limitation, ami ha also finally decided to add the constitutional amend- ment provision to the Finance Committee amendment. Having readied this decision hs repeated his canvass and satisfied himself that such an amendment would be adopted in pref- erence to the Cummins-Bailey proposition. It is now estimated that, instead of being thre« votes short, the leaders will have at least three more than a majority. THOUGHT OF SPECIAL MESSAGE. The President, at the suggestion of the Re- publican leaders, is urging the adoption of his proposition on individual members of the Sea- ate, and has won a number of converts to ths plan which, because of the federal supervision of corporate transactions It entails, appeals strongly to mar of the men who have been known as "Insurgents." The President stands ready, should there be any change of sentiment, to send a special message to Congress urging the adoption of the tax on the net earnings of the corporations, but the friends of the plan now predict that no such step will be necessary. It is learned that the President had purposed to include in his annual message an earnest rec- ommendation for a system of federal super- Msior of the transactions of corporations, nota- bly their issues of stocks and bonds, together with a small revenue tax on their profits; and, furthermore, that he had purposed to urg* Sen- ator Aldrich either to embody these provisions In the financial bill to be reported from the Monetary Commission next winter, or at least to press the two measures as co-ordinate legis- lation, to stand or fall together. The situation ' caused la the Senate by the strength of the in-, come tax movement, therefore, impressed him as the psychological moment SB urge that fed- oral supervision of the transactions of the cor- porations which he deems essential, and also to do so by imposing an excise tax on their net earnings. The leaders nw speak with the utmost con- fidence of their ability to add the Taft proposi- tion to Iks tariff bill. While heretofore thay have expressed the belief that they would be able to obtain its adoption, they have not said so with the apparent conviction which now characterizes their predictions. They also ex- press the conviction that as a result of \u25a0 m in- fluence of the President they will encounter no difficulty in inducing the conferrees of th# House to recede from their tax on inheritances and to adopt the tax on the 'net earnings of corporations in lieu thereof. Even those Repub- lican wh^el horses of the organization who hav- been seriously opposed t-> the rail proposition give indications of willingness to support- It when Mr. Aldrich tflis them it la a case Of taking the Taft proposition or getting a tax on individual income?. MR. TAFT'S SKILFUL TACTICS. Pome of the members of the Senate are frank to say that they are beginning to appreciate that they have in the White House a politician of more than ordinary ability, possibly of no less determination ami skill than Mr. Roose- velt. They say that Mr. Taft has handled this subject with masterly ability; that while he has given no encouragement to the "insurgents" he has put r.o obstacle in their war; that he has avoided incurring any criticism of the press that he was exceeding his constitutional prerog- atives, while his attitude has encouraged th» press to criticise the Senate tariff bill a3 pro- ducing too little revenue. Biding his time. the President ha 3 waited until the Senate leaders were obliged to go to him for assistance SB de- feat the income tax. and he has adroitly guided them Into a position where their only recourse la to enact a substitute which is only in a de- gree less objectionable to many of them than the Cummins- proposition. Altogether, many Senators say that Mr. Tsft has demonstrated a skill In the game of eco- nomic politics which has raised him to a com- manding position In their opinion. Some of them are now wondering how far he will play an equally skilful game in obtaining the enact- ment of other measures for which he is under- stood to stand, and several predict that the present President of the United States will prove as successful in obtaining legislation from Congress as was his predecessor— possibly even more so.

[From Th» Tribune Bureau.]Washington. June 14.— The Senate leader*

have made another concession to the President,and have agreed to waive the time limit theyhad determined to attach to Mr. Taft's proposi-tion to impose a 2 per cent tax on the net earn-ings of corporations. As a concession to th»advocates of the income tax. they willalso era-body In their amendment a provision for a con-stitutional amendment authorizing Congress to

impose a tax on individual incomes. Such anamendment will require the approval of three-fourths of the states before it can become effec-tive. Of course, the Republican leaders. Includ-ing the President, do not believe that such ap-proval will be given by so large a majority of '

the states.Early in the day Mr. Aldrich undertook a

personal canvass to ascertain the prospect ofobtaining \u25a0 majority vote for the corporationtax which it is purposed to report from theFinance Committee. He found that if the col-lection of such a tax were limited to two yearsand the amendment failed to make provisionfor the proposed constitutional amendment, it

would be impossible t-j obtain its adoption iapreference to the income tax amendment ofMessrs. Cummins and Bailey. After furtherconsultation With the President he determinedto waive the two-year limitation, ami ha alsofinally decided to add the constitutional amend-ment provision to the Finance Committeeamendment. Having readied this decision hsrepeated his canvass and satisfied himself thatsuch an amendment would be adopted in pref-

erence to the Cummins-Bailey proposition. Itis now estimated that, instead of being thre«votes short, the leaders willhave at least threemore than a majority.

THOUGHT OF SPECIAL MESSAGE.The President, at the suggestion of the Re-

publican leaders, is urging the adoption of hisproposition on individual members of the Sea-ate, and has won a number of converts to thsplan which, because of the federal supervision

of corporate transactions It entails, appealsstrongly to mar of the men who have beenknown as "Insurgents." The President standsready, should there be any change of sentiment,

to send a special message to Congress urging

the adoption of the tax on the net earnings ofthe corporations, but the friends of the plan

now predict that no such step willbe necessary.

Itis learned that the President had purposed

to include in his annual message an earnest rec-ommendation for a system of federal super-

Msior of the transactions of corporations, nota-bly their issues of stocks and bonds, together

with a small revenue tax on their profits; and,furthermore, that he had purposed to urg* Sen- „ator Aldrich either to embody these provisions

In the financial bill to be reported from theMonetary Commission next winter, or at leastto press the two measures as co-ordinate legis-lation, to stand or fall together. The situation

'

caused la the Senate by the strength of the in-,

come tax movement, therefore, impressed himas the psychological moment SB urge that fed-oral supervision of the transactions of the cor-porations which he deems essential, and also to

do so by imposing an excise tax on their netearnings.

The leaders nw speak with the utmost con-

fidence of their ability to add the Taft proposi-

tion to Iks tariff bill. While heretofore thay

have expressed the belief that they would be

able to obtain its adoption, they have not saidso with the apparent conviction which now

characterizes their predictions. They also ex-press the conviction that as a result of \u25a0 m in-

fluence of the President they willencounter no

difficulty in inducing the conferrees of th#House to recede from their tax on inheritancesand to adopt the tax on the 'net earnings ofcorporations inlieu thereof. Even those Repub-lican wh^el horses of the organization who hav-

been seriously opposed t-> the rail proposition

give indications of willingness to support- It

when Mr. Aldrich tflis them it la a case Oftaking the Taft proposition or getting a tax onindividual income?.

MR. TAFT'S SKILFUL TACTICS.Pome of the members of the Senate are frank

to say that they are beginning to appreciate

that they have in the White House a politician

of more than ordinary ability, possibly of no

less determination ami skill than Mr. Roose-

velt. They say that Mr. Taft has handled thissubject with masterly ability; that while he hasgiven no encouragement to the "insurgents" he

has put r.o obstacle in their war; that he has

avoided incurring any criticism of the press

that he was exceeding his constitutional prerog-

atives, while his attitude has encouraged th»press to criticise the Senate tariff bill a3 pro-

ducing too little revenue. Biding his time. thePresident ha 3waited until the Senate leaderswere obliged to go to him for assistance SB de-feat the income tax. and he has adroitly guided

them Into a position where their only recourse

la to enact a substitute which is only in a de-gree less objectionable to many of them than
