The new tariff law will impose tax ~ 7 per
cent on the net earnings Of all corporations ex-
cept that they shall be allowed To deduct from
such net earnings an amount sufficient pay
the interest on any bonds not in excess Of their
capital stock This tax has been substituted for
the inheritance tax imposed by the House.
The new law will also provide maximum and
minimum rates OF duty. the maximum rates 70
be imposed except imports from countries
which do not unduIy discriminate against i'm
ports from the United States the President 10
be the Judge Of such discrimination.
To assist the President in enforcing the maxi
mum and minimum provision and to obtain such
information relative TO the tariff he may de-
sire the new law will empower the President TO
employ experts 20 conduct such Investigations as
he may direct. This provision meets the Presi-
dents demand FOR a tariff commission.
