Administration Members OF

! Plan Meeting.
no DISCUSS INCOME TAX
Retention of a Duty on Sugar
and Creation Of Tax Board
Considered.

Democratic members of the Ways ana
Means Committee will meet next week
to begin consideration of the revenue
situation. After conferences among
the party leaders, including the Presi-
dent the majority members of the COM
mittee have before them program
calling for:
A revised income tax.
Retention of a duty on sugar.
Creation of q tariff commission.
Enactment of anti-dumping legislation.
There probably will be discussion OF
an Inheritance tax and an internal rev.
enue levy on war munitions, but these
suggestions are not likely to reach the
legislation stage. The income tax VIII

the Democrats and will be amended to
bring in about S100O0O,OO0 additional
Must Retain Duty.
Retention of duty on sugar is regard
ed as imperative in view of the present
condition of the Treasury and the con-
tinued falling off in imports. That the
President approves the creation of a
tariff commission and legislation to pre-
vent the dumping of foreign goods on
American shores after the war has been
made known to Administration leaders.

that party caucus will be held event.

The proposed taxation of war
munitions, leaders said today. will be

1t is opposed chiefly as uncertain and
unstable. because cessation of war
would stop both sales and taxes.
Opposition has developed against
lowering the. income tax exemption

however, are unanimous in planning

to the President, but without power
