Washington, Sept "a billion dol
lars more than the $S.11i,0O0,OO0 esh-
mated by the house ways and means
commit ttee will be raised by the war
revenue bill, declared Representative
Fordney. Of Michigan, ranking repub-
lican committee member, in addressing
the house today when it resumed con"
sideration Of the measure.
Mr.. Fordney said his estimate was
predicated on the returns OF last years
bill, which Is the basis Of the pend
ing legislation. Designed to raise $3.-
760, 900 900, he said, the present law al
ready has yielded $4,441, 100000. and hv
added that the internal revenue bu-
reau estimates were that another bill
Non dollars wuiiid be collected. This
uncollected billion, he said. were due
to different interpret ations Of the laws
provisions.
Mr.. Fordncy criticized several sec
tons Of the bill, saying that capital
should be more lrberally defined and
that the per cent tax should not APP
ply to undistributcd dividends.
X Capital. he contended. should be re-
garded as the value or Il property as OF
March l, 1918, Instead of the original
Invested amount. Some businesses, par
ticularly small ones, he said, were or
ganized years ego on small original III
vestments and since that time have
increased In value by tho owners put
ting profits back into them.
The per cent additional! tax on un-
distributed earnings provided In the
bill virtually is Il penalty on business,
declared Mr.. t'ordney. Banks. he said.
Will be prevented from putting money
into surplus and undivided profits be-
cause OF the higher rate OF taxation
and that, he declared, is a serious
menace to good banking"
