( The Ways and Means Committee hai
/ already reported fayorably on the BIZ
recommending a slight amendment
which your Judiciary Committee thinks
should be passed
Your committee thinks that the BIZ
should be amended further. Chocolate
Is mentioned as one Of the items ex
empted from taxation. This is wronI
as chocolate Is not production bu
merely a manufactured article mad
from cacao, one Of the items exempter
with other ingredients. Cacao being ex
empted It Is not necessary to exemp
chocolate.
The bin was thought by some to b.
too sweeping. We have met that oh
lection by exempting only those prod
ucts raised for mercantile purposes.
I'VE recommend that section 1 b
amended to read:
Section /. For FIVE years from an,
after January first, 1906, all property
real and personal actually used for tn
production Of tobacco, rubber, cork oaH
manila hemp, sanseverla salonica hem

that the bill pass"
