that the lower rate on earnings dis
tributed will have tendency TO

and force the money out where IL
can De reached by the surtax on in

Chairman Kitchin of the commit
tee. after Tuesday, session, made
this statement:
The committee had under discus
sion today the income tax on cor
porations discussing practically all
day the rates.
The following rates were suggest
ed and discussed:
"1-Twenty per cent on the net
income Of corporations, with a pro
visO that on the amount distributed
the shareholders only 10 per cent
should be levied.
"2--Eighteen per cent on the 7et
income of corporations. with pro-
viso that on the amount distributed
To shareholders only y per cent
should be levied.
The following rates were also
suggested
IA fiat rate of 10 per cent on
the net income; and
"a flat rate Of II per cent on
the net income.
While no definite decision was
reached. it seemed that a majority
OF the committee favored the propO-
sition of the l per cent rate on net
income with the reduction TO L per
cent on the amount distributed TO
shareholders
The proposed arrangement of the
normal income tax on corporations
is in line with treasury department
views and is a new plan in federal
taxation. The proposal resulted from
testimony at committee hearings
that many corporations keep a GER
tain portion of their annual profits

ing the entire profits 10 stockholders
who would have 10 pay a surtaX on
