W0BtD, REDUCE BANK TAX.
SENATE DEMOCRATS PROPOSE
.t CUT IN HALE. %
Would Tax Autos as Substitute for
Tax ON Bank Surplus and Capital
Insurance Tax May also Be Changed

Washington, Sept. 29.-Reduction'
Of the proposed tax Of 50 a thousand
on bank capital and surplus is coHs
templated by Democrats Of the ssifs
ate finance committee, who are now
deliberating on the war revenue bill
which passed the house last week. The
suggestion has been made that dis
turbed financial conditions due to the
European war and revision of the
currency laws make it unwise to levy
so heavily on bank capital and it has
been proposed to cut the assessment
in half.
Those who favor this action would
provide for the loss in revenue thus
occasioned by an automobile tax, to
be substituted also for the tax of 2
cents a gallon on gasoline now pro.
vided in the bill. An automobile tai
based on horse power, it is said, would
yield enough to replace the estimated
$20,000,OO0 which would be derived
from the gasoline tax and the amount
to be lost in the bank capital levy
should be reduced one-half.
The senate also is considering re.
adjusting the proposed tax OH insuf-
ance policies with the probable elimi-
nation of a tax on accident insurance
Today the committee decided not to
grant hearings on the bill but it will
give heed to all written communica.
have the measure to report before the
end of the week.
