WAR REVENUE REFLECTIONS.
LONG sEssIoN-POINTs OF DIS
AGREEMENT

Washington, Feb. "a (SpeciaD.-The conferrees
the War Revenue Reduction bill held a long
meeting to-day without being able to reach a
final agreement At the conclusion Of the con-
ference, however, they talked more hopefully
than they did yesterday the day before. In
consequence the feeling continues general that
the bill will be reported back substantially as il
came from the Senate, with possibly the beer
clause modified 10 some extent. It seems GER
tain that the Senate cut in the tobacco tax will
stand AS TO whether or not the Senate will
recede from its contention TO retain the bank
check tax there still is some division Of opinion
There is scarcely any room for doubt that the
bill will get through at this session if the con-
ferrees reach agreement
The cause OF the stubborn tieup in confer
ence is beer, tobacco and the bank check tax
Under the present law beer is taxed al the rate
OF 81 So a barrel. This the House bill cut to
81 GO, and the Senate made still further re-
duction TO 81 30. In order TO accommodate the
revenue to this additional cut OF 10 cents the
Senate decided 10 retain the tax Of two cents
every bank check, which the House had de-
clared should be repealed. II is rumored to-
night that the Senate conferrees have yielded
on both these points and that in return for this
the House conferrees have accepted the Senate's
reduction of the tobacco tax. Under the House
bill the present rate Of l. cents a pound was
untouched. The Senate Topped off three cents
Of this.
When the War Revenue bill was enacted the
number Of packages which manufacturers could
10 the pound increased, that while
the tax increased which the manufacturers
had to pay the public receives somewhat
smaller packages for the same money, and il is
alleged that thus the customer the sole
loser. because the manufacturer actually made
more profit under the war tax than he did be-
fore il was put on. 1t is said that the con-
ferrees now arranging plan whereby the
packages will be restored TO their original size.
in return for the three cent reduction of the
present tax. The probabilities are that the bill
will be reported about the middle of the week.
