new REVENUE BILL
MAY Be REVISED
CutsRevenues From Eight Bill
lions To Six.

Washington Nov. 14.-Reyision OF
the pending Revenue bill. with view
TO Yielding $4,000 10000 payable
during the calendar year was recon-
mended by Secretary McAdoo in
letter to the Senate Finance Com
mittee. setting forth the Treasury :
financial program for the reconstruc-
ton period.
The Secretary estimated that ex-
penditures during the fiscal year end
ing next June 30 now would be $751;
900. o00, 900. instead of the s24, 900, 000,-
coo estimated before there was pros
poets OF peace. He declared for the
continuation of the policy OF loaning
to the Allies for limited time during
reconstruction after peace to enable
them to purchase foodstuffs, raw ma
terials and manufactured products in
this country.
Other recommendation were:
That income and profits taxes be
payable in four equal quarterly in
stallmenss on March u, June 10, Sep
TENDER Is and December 10.
.That excess profits tax rates for
payments due next year be no higher
than those in the existing law.
That necessary safeguards be pro-
vided for war and excess profits taxes.
That war AMI excess profits taxes
be eliminated entirely for payments
due in 1920 except with respect to
profits on contracts negotiated dur
ing the war period
That corporation and individual in
come tax rates be increased on in
comes of 1919, payable in 1920.
That the basis for next years
taxes payable in 1920 be determined
