Insurance Companies
of Nation

washinE1On, Dec. 2o.-By adopting
, tho Finance Committee amendments
to the war revenue bill affecting sec
ond- class postage and insurance com
panies, the Senate yesterday cleared
the way for disposal of the few other
contested, hut important, features re-
naming. Leaders now have increased
confidence of passing the bill before
adjournment next Monday.
BY a vote OF s4 to 20 the Senate ap-
proved the committee amendment pro-
posing repeal next July of the pres
ent zone system of second-class post
age rates and substitution Of rate OF
l cent per pound within 1St miles ana
n cents beyond.
New Insurance Taxes
The Senate also approved the COM
mittee plan for new rates on casualty,
fire, marine and other insurance COM
panies, except life insurance. The
new rates, based on premium receipts,
are, respectively: Fire insurance COM
panies, "a per cent; casualty, plate
glass and similar companies. ~ per
cent, and marine. "a per cent. ON in
land and "a per cent. on export poll
cies.
A substitute for tile committees
bill proposing large tax increases
principally on big incomes and war
excess profits. was introduced by SEN
ator IaFollette OF Wisconsin. The
bill proposes mainly large increases in
the war-excess profits rates and indt-
yIdual income surtaXes. In lieu OF
the bills levy of Chirty per cent. on
the excess of corporations net income
over credits and under twenty per
cent. of invested capital, Senator La
Follette's bill proposes thirty-tive per
cent on profits under fifteen per cent.
of invested capital. Instead OF the
bills tax of sixty per cent. on prohts
in excess of twenty per cent, the
Wisconsin member proposes tax or
sixty per cent. on profits between III
teen and twenty per cent. and seventy
per cent. on those over twenty per
cent.
Cuts Individual Rate
The I,aFonette substitute also pro-
poses to retain the twelve per cent.
tax on corporation incomes, but
would cut the individual normal rate
from twelve to two per cent. and Sc
cure the bulk of individual income
revenue from surtaXes. In lieu of the
bilrs surtaxes, ranging from one per
cent. on incomes between $4,000 and
$4,000 to siXty-five per sent. on those
moro than Sl,OOO.OOV, senator Lar OIL
\ette's substitute proposed graduated
surtaXes ranging from five per cent.
on incomes between $4,000 and $1,000
to seventy eight per cent. on incomes
Of more than 100000,
From individual incomes, Senator
LaFollette estimates that his bill
would raise $1,7SI OOO 900, compared
with $1.432 NJ" 400 estimated under
tho pending measure. He made no es-
innate of revenue from his proposed
increases on war-eXcess profits, but in
his recent minority report advocated
procuring about double the S2,40O,-
GEO, 200 proposed by the bill from that
source.
