OF the war taxes the secretary says:
"The estimate OF the commissioner Of
internal revenue of 500. ooo, 900 from
this source seems TO be fairly
justified by the results TO the
treasury during the period from
July 1 to the present time. His
report goes also TO show the friction
and embarrassment which have arisen
from the need OF interpretating OBJ
securities In the act itself and tho APP
plication Of such Interpretation to
specific cases coming under the same
general head, yet differentiated from
each other by more or less important
particulars. Many complaints have
arisen from those unreconciled to such
interpretations or applications, and,
granted q we'll balanced relation be-
tween and expenditures, IL
might be well to consider the pro.
priety OF repeating some Of the
moro vexatious features OF the
act. Until more settled conditions,
however. as to the extraordinary ex.
penditures for the army and navy are
reached, even such repeal cannot
be recommended by this de.
partment. Some verbal amend
ments. making more clear the
intentions of Congress-, arc to be de-
sired, and representations in this di'
~rection may be made the subject Of q
