ALSO BOOSTED
The Corporate Income Rate
Jumps From Two to Six
% Per cent.

Washington. July 31.-Increase Of
the pending s1,e7o,ooo,ooo war tax
bill to total Of $2,0O8, 100000 was

comes, Of individuals of $4,000 and
over, and q further increase Of 81 per
gallon on distilled spirits, and SO cents

minor tax increases, will make up the
additional levies.
The! committee decided to increase
the present two per cent normal rate
on corporate incomes to six per cent,
as against four per cent in the bill
as originally drawn. This is expected
to yield $182,00O,000 additional reve-
nues. The increase in sur tax rates on

on later.

committee estimated that by adding
81 per gallon to the tax on distilled
spirits, making it $500 per gallon
$2.10 over the present 1aw-$90, ,000,-
900 more revenue would be secured
from that source. The increase Of SO
cents a barrel on beer was estimated
to yield $25,00O,00O more revenue,
making the beer tax 1925 per barrel,
as compared with $3.50 under existing
