Mills Offers New Bill
To Tax Corporations
Measure, if Enacted, Will
Bring State Revenue up
TO S2O.OOO,OOO
r,om san Correspondent o. Tie tribune


Albany. March Ex-senator Ogden
L. Mills introduced tonight the most
important revenue raising measure OF
the session. 1t provides a new manu-
featuring corporation tax. substituting
for the present corporation franchise
tax and the personal property tax levied
on corporations doing business IN the
state.
The bill is expected By the tax eX-
perts of the Legislature TO increase the
revenues from corporations TO about
$50 900. 900. one half OF which will be
refunded 10 the localities in which the
corporation is located and the rest re
tanned by the state.
The Mills bill leyies a 3 per cent tax
on the net incomes OF all manufactur-
ing corporations in the state based on
the Federal corporation income tax re-
turns. II is the result of cooperative
efforts on the part of the legislative
tax experts and the State Tax Com
mission.
Vigorous opposition TO the new cor
poratlon tax IS expected from manu-
facturers throughout the state. Some
legislators believe the new tax may
drive some corporations out OF bust
ness or out of this state.
Senator Mills also introduced new
annually paid secured debt tinvest-
ment) tax, which takes the place OF
the present secured debt tax. 1t levies
tax of two mills on investments, and
runs for five years.

Changes Still Secret
Railroads Readiness to Agree
Laid to Public Service
Boards Threat

Additional concessions by the New
York Central in its negotiations with
the city on the proposed West Side
improvement yesterday resulted in the
announcement by Mayor Mitchell that
Substantial progress" toward an
agreement had been made.
Just what concessions nave been
made nobody who took part in the
ten-hour conference held in Controller
Prendergast's Office would say. 1t is
not thought. however, that the road
will grant sufficient inducements 20
cause the hostile members OF the
Board of Estimate 20 change their
votes.
Mayor Mitchell. Ira A. Place, vice
president of the New York Contra !,
and members of the port and terminal
committee met early IN the morning
and held an all-day session behind
closed doors. In similar conference
on Sunday Mr.. Place had expressed 4
willingness TO make certain important
changes demanded by opponents OF the
measure. Yesterday he was said 70
have showed a readiness 10 agree TO
even further changes.
Concessions Substantial, Says Mayor
THE concessions made are very sub
stantial." said Mayor Mitchell on leav-
ing the conference chamber after Z
O'Clock in the evening. I'VE had hoped
10 be in position to enumerate them
this evening, but there are so many
technicalities involved that that is i'm
possible. Another day will be con-
sumed in the conferences
"Do you think that the changes made
in the proposed contract arc sufficient
20 win over any Of those who are now
opposing il >" was asked.
THAT | cannot say" said the Mayor.
81 cannot make any guesses as to how
great they are or how great they must
be 10 win anybody over"
That Mr.. Place has indicated read
mess TO enter into further negotiations
was surprise to the organizations
that have fought the agreement. At
the last session of the public hearings
Mr. Place said that Manhattan could
ge. along without the road if il wanted
to and that it would make no further
concessions in its dealings with the
city.
l. was said yesterday that the thinly
yelled threats OF members of the Pub
lie Service Commission 10 take hand
in the situation and compel the re-
moval Of the roads tracks from Death
