into law this week of the great war
tax bill upon which conferees agreed
last night was regarded as certain to-
day by leaders OF both houses. The
report will be placed before the House
and the Senate on Tuesday and by
Thursday at the latest the bill should
be ready for the Presidents signature.
Some Opposition Expected
Opposition to certain sections Of the
bill is expected but the leaders are de-
termined not to permit any amend
ments. To open the door. they say
would draw flood of amendments
and cause indefinite delay.
Official estimates of the amount to
be raised by the bill still are lack
ing. Experts worked throughout to-
day in an attempt to have them ready
for the House conferees when they
present their report tomorrow. New
figures make it appear how
ever, that the total will be somewhat
less than s2,700,0oo.0Oo as estimated
last night.
Estimating the income and profits
taxes has proved difficult for the ex-
perts. The latest unofficial estimates
prepared tonight show a total of ap-
