SENATOR STERLING
AFTER TAX EvADERS
South Dakota Man Believes
Senators and Representa-
tives Are Not Exempt.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 26.-The
treasury department has not yet made
a ruling concerning the provision IN the
last war revenue law which is held by
some to exempt senators and represen-
tatives from payment of the excess
profits tax. In order to make 1T GER
tain that they shall not be exempt, Sem
ator Sterling, of South Dakota, has IN
troduced a bill providing that the law
IN question shall not be construed to
exempt senator's and representatives.
rom such tax.
In explaining his bill Senator Sterling
stated that there is a general impress
sion that representatives and senator's
are, under the revenue law, exempt
from the operations of the income tax
provided for by the law Of 1917. He
said his this impression fs a mistake
as there is nothing in the law whatever
which eNempts them from the regular
income tax. 1t is the clause dealing
with the excess profits tax only about
which there can be any dispute. The
discussion which followed the introduce
ton of Senator S%terling's bin indicat-
ed thai there was no intention on he
part of senator's in passing the war rev-
enue bill to evade paying their share Of
the taxes.
