TAX ON LUXURIES
10 AND 20 PER CENT
Designation Includes Costly
Clothes and News Wires and
Phone Circuits
By the United Press
Washington, Aug. 10.

Washington, Aug. 10.
With only a week remaining before
the new revenue bill is scheduled to be
reported to the House. the Ways and
Means Committee today still had to
settle on an excess-profit rate, frame
war-profit tax and gather the loose
ends of luxury taxes.
The committee has tentatively decided
to adopt the recommendation of its sub
committee for 10 per cent retail sales
on all things commonly recognized as
luXuries
The subcommittee recommendations
on other thingxssuch as clothes, which
become luxuries when they command
only a very high price have not been
acted upon finally. On these things
the recommendation is for 20 per cent
tax above a certain price, such as mems
suits and overcoats above $50.
The 10 per cent tax on leased wires
and news phone circuits, adopted after
hard fight in committee yesterday
will raise only $l,000,o00, Chairman
Kitchin said today. The committee
turned down the final recommendation
Of the Treasury Department to tax
leased wires rs per cent.
THE tax might easily work to prevent
any but the richest papers getting any
telegraph news at ALL" said one COM
mitteeman. who opposed levying any tax
on wire service.
Other members pointed out that the
tax would be levied at a time when pa
pers throughout the country have
voluntarily agreed to limit their read
ing and advertising space and accept a
reduction in revenue to help the Gov
ernment's campaign to save white PAPER.
