vania, senior republican of the finance
committee, had delivered a prepared
address urging prompt passage of the
bill, but disappearing its provisions to
fix 1920 tax rates, the senate. with
only a handful of members present,
and with perfunctory discussion,
| adopted many important amendments
and approved pages of minor provis-
ions. Consideration of all 1920 rates
however, was postponed by unanimous
consent.
Sections Adopted
Among important sections adopted
were:

! 1919, ranging from 80 to so per cent. as
revised by the finance committee and
estimated to raise $1,000, 100000, as
compared with $3,2O0,000, 900 under the
house bill;
individual income surtaXes, ranging
from one to 50 per cent, as revised by

Rates of s6.40 and 500 per gallon
respectively, on distilled spirits for
/ beverage and non beverage purposes

| and $40 gallon rates of the house

as against $3.50 600 900 under the house
draft;
Taxes on freight, passenger, express
/ Pullman, oil pipe line transportation
/ as proposed in the finance commit
/ tees revision, and estimated to yield
/ 1929 100000: and
/ Repeal on July / next of the law
advancing first class mail rates from
, to 3 cents an ounce, and providing
! for restoration of the old pre-war
rates, involving a revenue reduction
/ of about $5OO0O000.
When these provisions were adopted
| reservations were made by several
| senators, of their right to offer sub
stitutes or amendments later Sena-
tor La Toilette of Wisconsin, repub-
lican, announced he would offer an
amendment for revision of the individ-
ual income surtaXes, and Senator
| Thomas of Colorado, democrat, gave
/ notice that he would propose war eX
cess profits rates in lieu of the com
mittee plan.
The committee amendment for re-
storation Of pre-war postage rates on
letters and postcards. next July. was
adopted without discussion, but action
was deferred on the companion pro-
visions for repeal of the existing zone
rates on second class postage and sub
stitution of the committees new. modt-
| fled zone plan.
Among important questions remain
ing besides the 1920 tax rates, are the
income normal rates, almost the en-
tire war excess profits section, estate
and inheritance taxes, the insurance
clause, the child labor amendment.
luxury taxes and a few of the excise
and other miscellaneous taxes.
