Bill is Retained by
Committee.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The senate
worked on the war tax bill today un-
der an agreement to dispose of the
publishers tax division before night,
while finance leaders perfect their
proposed compromise on the war
profits taxation.
The pre-war profits rate of the bill
was retained by the committee. but It
added a new maximum war profits
tax rate Of go per cent on profits in
excess of 800 per cent. The maximum
in the bill was SO per cent on war
profits more than $50 per cent.
Another change was made in pro-
visions for exemption. A minimum of
6 per cent and a maximum of 10 per
cent Of incomes on capital actually in
vested was approved. These provi-
sions would care for corporations suf-
fering abnormal depression during the
pre-war period. Corporations max.
ing less than per cent during that
period would be entitled to at leas,
that exemption and If more than IL
per cent, they would receive not over
10 per cent deduction. s7
By these changes the committee es-
timated that the proposed levies would
take s1,286,000 Of the $4,000, 900. .00C
or $4,000, 100000 profits estimated to
be earned this year.
