House Caucus Also Asks for
Free Sugar.
BILL WILL NET BIG REVENUE
Measure Providing One Per Cent. Levy
on Salaries Exceeding 5000 Ap-
proved by Ways and Means
Majority.

Washington, d. C.-The Demo
cratic members of the house in caucus
ratified the bill extending the present
corporation tax to include individuals
and cO-partnerships earning yearly
income Of $4,000 or over. The caucus
also puts it's o. K. on the bill to put
sugar on the free list, which will
eliminate $53.00O,000 from the custom
duties.
The excise tax, so called by the
ways and means committee, is in eff
feet an income tax. The bill is so
drawn that it is expected to comply
with the Supreme courts decision
against the constitutionality of an in
come tax. Its effect would be to tax
every person who earns more than
Sc, 900 a year, on the excess Of $4,000
at the rate Of one per cent.
The estimate Of Chairman Under
wood and members of the ways and
means committee is that the proposed
excise tax would bring in a revenue
of between $5O,000,000 and $60,000.0OO
a year.
Placing sugar on the free list, the
Democratic leaders estimate, will re-
duce the price of sugar to the con-
sumner about a cent and half
pound.
The secret that members of the
ways and means committee had been
SO closely guarding for several days
was the provision to extend the cor
poration tax.
In the caucus that bill was not ser1-
ously opposed.
The free sugar bill, however, was
bitterly assailed by representatives
from Louisiana, the cane sugar state,
and representatives from sugar beet
growing states, who were absolved
from the bond of the caucus. No
roll call on the ratification of the bill
was demanded.
Majority Leader Underwood an
nounced that the bills would be report
ed to the house in few days.
1--WE simply took the corporation
tax law and rewrote it to include indi-
viduals and co-partnerships," said Mr..
Underwood. "The bill, to illustrate,
simply means that I, whose business
is that of a member of congress, will
pay to the government one per cent
of my salary income over $4,000. The
salary of a congressman is $500. l
would therefore pay an excise tax OF
SIS a year"
