PROBABLE CHANGES IN
PERSONAL TAX BILL
Rate for New Trust COmpa-
nieS to Be LeSSened.

The Senate District Committee has un-
der advisemeut an amendment 10 the per-
sonaI tax bill suggested by the attorneys
for the trust companies at their hear
ing yesterday.
The attorneys called the attention Of
the committee to the fact that the tax on
a company with a capital OF 81 CO0. 600 in
the trust business and Sl.250,CO0 in the
storage business would be $l5,OO0 OF SIS
600 year This rate Of taxation before
a concern had begun 70 do a profitable
business, il was declared. would be prohib-
itiye.
Senator Mcmillan was impressed with
the force OF the argument and it has been
virtually decided that I'm the early years
Of its existence a company need only pay
IL per cent on it's gross earnings as at
present
10 change is likely to be made in the
bin with regard 70 established banks and
trust companies.
The tax proposed on wearing apparel
over the value OF $500 viii probably be
left out but il is not likely that any ex-
emption in favor Of jewCIry viii be made.
Some change Of the law in favor Of the
local stock brokers is also contemplated
The local stock exchange last year re-
ceived in commissions a total OF only
$4,000. This was an average OF only $500
each for tho forty brokers. and as the pro-
posed tax Is $500 il would act as virtual

Diplomatic Channels to Foreigners.

The notification sent out some time ago
by the state Department TO consular ofi-
cials OF this country everywhere regard
ing the prospective opening Of the new
Chamber Of Commerce Building IN New
York, has led to the expectation that
many notables viii attend. as represen-
tatives Of foreign countries, and that
foremost among them viii be the Prince
Of Wales.
Enquiry at the State Department this
afternoon gained the response that 10
news OF a visit from King Edwards son

the occasion 60 be celebrated in the me-
tropolis viii be an event OF great ilan-
cial and international Importance. the
deputizing of royal prince to represent
the British nation would not seem un-
likely

Chairman Smith said that an invitation
has been sent through the United States
Government. 10 have a representative Of
King Edward present during the cere-
monies Of the dedication. but he declined
10 say whether the Prince Of Wales had
been designated as King Edwards repre-

As the Invitation has not yet reached
