WAR TAX ON BANK
CAPITAL RETAINED
Senate Finance Committee
Strikes Out Impost on Life
Insurance Policies.
TOBACCO BURDEN BIGGER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3-Tho majority OF
the Senate Committee on Finance to-day
overruled the subcommittee and retained
the provision of the House war revenue
bill which taxes bank capital and surplus.
The subcommittee had recommended In
favor OF striking out the tax on capital
and surplus and substituting therefor a
tax on negotiable instruments
This was probably the most important
action taken by the Democratic members
of the Finance Committee to-day. who
were busy trying TO put the war revenue
bill in final shape. II had been expected
that the Senate leaders would tax bank
checks and other forms of exchange and
omit the tax on bank capitalization, but
as finally framed the law will not require
stamp on checks and similar forms of
negotiable papers
Another important step taken by the
Democratic members of the Finance Com
mittee was the striking out OF so much
OF the House bill as imposes tax on life
insurance policies at the rate OF cents
for each 500 or fraction thereof.
