TREASURY WOULD Be BENEFITED
Surtax on Earnings Of More Than
Two Millions To Be Increased
From 10 to Is Per Cent.

Washington, d. C. - Reduction of
the income tax exemption from $4,000
to $4,000 for single persons and from
$4,000 to $4,000 for those with families
was ordered recommended to the sem
ate Saturday by Democratic members
Of the finance committee who are re-
vising the house revenue bill.
The change is proposed in an amend
ment which would put the additional
$1,000 taxes in separate classification
and impose on it a normal tax Of
per cent instead of the 2 per cent as
sessed against incomes Of more than
$4,000 for single persons and of more
than $4,000 for married persons.
The amendment after an all-day dis
cussion prevailed by a majority Of
only one vote, opposition persisting to
the last
After announcement of the result by
Chairman Simmons, some of the Dem
ocratic senators said that the decision
was tentative and might be overturned
when the amendment was submitted to
the full membership of the committee,
The rollcall on the amendment was
not disclosed Thoes who favored il
emphasized the grave necessity for ad-
ditional revenue, and had estimate,
before them showing that the proposed
exemption reductions would add about
Sc, 900, 900 to the treasury. 1t prob
ably would increase several fold the
total number of taxable incomes
The amendment is the second chang'
in the income tax proposed by the sen
ate Democrats, who voted to increas'
the surtax on incomes in excess O
81, 900, 900 from 10 to Is per cent l
is estimated that the surtax will brinl
in $40, 900, 900 additional revenue
