log on the IT'D Of March
THE AMENDMENTS TO JHE TAX LAW.
1t is the opinion Of Congressman, best acquainted
with the subject that the amendments to the inter
nal tax law if they had been agreed 10 by the
House in the form originally reported, would have
increased the revenue. But this they consiccr
doubtful in the modified form. The main purpose
Of the amendstory bill was to remedy existing de-
fects. Mr.. DAILY, delegate from Nebraska, sue
ceedei in having clause inserted to dispense with
collectors and ASSESSORS in the Territories sfIer the
present Assessment shall have been collected for the
reason that the expenses of collecting absorb all the
revenue received. The stamp tax, however, is re-
tanned.
