Scope of Tax Law,

The extension Of the corporation tax
law to individuals and partnerships
i. was declared today, would hit di-
rectly holding corporations such as the
United States Steel corporation. The
bill was drafted by Representative Hull
of Tennessee who issued statement re-
lating to holding companies in part as
follows:
"The present corporation tax law ex-
empts all holding corporations from the
tax it imposes. The proposed excise bill
does not in terms impose tax upon any
corporation as such. but it does impose
tax on individuals, for instance, whose
net earnings exceed $4,000. including all
net earnings received or entitled to be
received as dividends, or other compen-
sation within the meaning Of the act,
out Of the net earnings of any or all
corporations that do not themselves pay
an excise tax,
Hence, every person connected with
A holding corporation as a stockholder
or otherwise and who received. or is en-
tltlVu w iccelN' any boitl VI Jnc du-
nual net earnings of such corporations
in excess of $4,000. is liable for the tax
"Of course, the proposed bill would
apply to all holders OF the bonds Of
such companies and those receiving in
terest thereon in excess of $4,000 -

DOUBTFUL IF THEY

Holding Corporations, Such as
United States Steel, Will Be
Hit if the Excise Bill Be-
comes a Law.

vAT TASHINGTON, March 2.-The
NM house is expected TO begin dis
WV cussion of the Democratic bill
to levy on excise tax on all
net incomes above $4,000 a year, in
cluding salaries, by Wednesday or
Thursday next. Tt will be reported from
the WAYS and means committee, to-
gether with the bill to put sugar on
the free list The two measures prob
ably will be considered conformity and
both will be passed within week or
ten days.
The known success of the two meas
ures in the Democratic house turned all
discussion today to the senate end OF
the capitol, where it was admitted that
both bills would have n tempestuous
career. In the senate the bills will be re.
ferred to different committees and with
many senators unfriendly to them there
is little likelihood they can be linked
together, as is proposed in the house.
The so-called income tax, or extended
corporation tax bill, under the senate
rules, will 60 to the committee on Ju-
dietary, where it is aid it will meet an
unfriendly reception. The free sugar
bill will 90 to the finance committee.
Senate leaders declared tonight that tho
finance committee hardly would feel
justified in reporting a bill cutting off
more than $50,0000,0OO in revenues
without knowing what the senate pro-
posed doing with the income tax bill.
On the other hand, it was said the
members of the judiciary committee
would not be convinced easily Of the
necessity of the new taxing measures
in the absence Of the passage Of the
sugar bill and the consequent deficit in
the revenues.
