TO RAISE $4,000, $4,000 is A
CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE

The war tax bill, finally revised to
meet latest estimates, was favorably
reported Monday by the senate finance
committee. 1t proposes to raise ST.
006,970,000 by taxation.
The house bill proposed $1,867, 0O0,-
900 in new taxes. No provision for adj
ditional bonds, to be considered later
by the house, is made in the senate
bill.
The revised senate bill strikes out
the retroactive tax upon last years in
comes, but, principally by increasing
surtaxes on wealthy persons and by
doubling the normal tax on corpora
tions, proposes to raise SIT, 200, 900 in
addition to the $330,000,0O0 now Sc
cured from incomes. It proposes a
levy of S562, 900 ,000. on war profits and
extends the tax toin9 dividuals in trade
or business, as veg as corporations.
The house tax yield on distilled
spirits of $100,000,000 is raised to
$135, 100000; that on beer from $751;
100000 to $46,000,000, and that on
wines from $6,0O0,000 to $21, 900, 900.
A prohibitive tax on further manufac-
ture or importation of distilled bever-
ages is also provided.
The original senate committee pro-
vision for an increase Of one-quarter
Of enc cent . pound IL publishers
mailing rates and per cent. tax up
on their net incomes over $4,000, in
lieu of the house plan for increasing
postal rates by zone system, was re-
tanned. The house provisions reimpos-
ing Spanish war stamp taxes were
substantially retained.
The total estimated increase in fed
eral revenues of $2,OO6,970,000 pro-
posed under the amended bill is said
by Chairman Simmons and treasury
experts to be conservative. Many Of
those in charge of the revision believe
the bill will in actual operation yield
many millions more.
