EXTRA TAX ON BEER HAS BEEN
INCREASED TWENTY-FIVE
PER CENT.
MAY COMPLETE BILL TODAY
1t Is Estimated that the Tax to Be
Levied IN LIQUORS Will Produce a
Revenue OF More Than Fifty Mil
lions of Dollars

Washington, Oct. 7.-Senate Demo-
crats resumed their caucus today on
the war revenue bill, after midnight
session in which the burden of the
$lOoo ooO0,0OO emergency measure was
imposed upon liquors. The proposed
extra tax on beer was increased from
90 to Is cents a barrel, making to-
tai levy of $l,75, with u drawback of
. per cent Tor purchase of revenue
stamps in advance. A special revenue
tax on rectiiiers of distilled spirits OF
cents Il gallon also was levied.
The taxes on liquors it is estimated,
Will produce more than $4,000, 900 in
revenue annually.
The caucus also eliminated the pro-
posed tax of 80 cents horsepower on
automobile sales, estimated to raise
l$l0,O00,000 and the proposed levy of
cent a gallon on gasoline, estimat-
ed to bring in $l0,000,000 and cut in
half the proposed tax of 81 per 81 1000
on banking capital and surplus, thus
reducing the estimated revenue from
that source from $3,400,000 to ST..
! 100000. -"
The caucus today considered the
various stamp taxes and levies on
perfumes, cosmetics and patent medi-
cines.
| Although there were some indica-
tions of efforts to reconsider the elm
ination of the tax on gasoline and au.
tomobiles and the cutting to 81 per
$1,000 the proposed levy on bank cap
ital and surplus, none materialized,
and administration leaders declared
those features would be left as the
caucus fixed them. The caucus thus
far has approved the finance commit
tee tax rate on wines-20 cents a gal
lon on sweet wines and cents on dry
wine.
Senator O'Gorman obtained approx
7, al of an amendment to the proposed
tax on cigarette manufacturers. In
! the bill a flat tax OF $24 a year was
provided. The amendment proposes
a graduated tax according to volume
VI puhihNSh idHbIIlB lIOiH PD W 3JO u
year.
Another amendment to the propos-
ed tax on real estate eOnveyances
would change the rate of 81 per 81 900
of value to 81 per 81 900 of equity,
thus eliminating any tax on mortgag-
cs or encumbrances in transfers of
property. Leaders planned to com
plete the bill in times for report to-
morrow.
