Conferees on a revenue bill never
were confronted with more Difficult;
task than. are those who will con-
slider the present bill. The House
passed the bill as a war measure be-
fore the armistice was signed As
approved by the lower body the bill
would raise $s,0oo. 600 900 during the
fiscal year 1919. -,
As passed by the Senate, however.
the revenue bill Is a peace measure
raising only $4,000. 100000 in the pres
ent fiscal year. but providing an adj
dftional $4,000 y0OO, 900 in revenue for
the fiscal year 1920.
There are differences between the
House and Senate measures in prac-
tically every section. Before finally
accepting Senate provisions the House
conferees are expected to refer back
to the House many times for instruc-
lions.
Sections Reduced.
Not only are the income and excess
profits sections greatly reduced in the
amounts OF money they will return in
the Senate bill, but the profits taxes
are levied on a wholly different basis.
whereas the House provided a dual
system of profits taxation. the Senate
has combined excess and war profits
in one section and it Is not certain
that House conferees will approve
this change. e.
When the Senate voted to keep the
luxury and semi-luxury taxes in the
bill, 1t disposed of any differences
that might have developed in confer
ence over these taxes. The only pos

the rates Of taxation on luxuries. The
House conferees are expected. how
ever too accept the Senate reduction
of the luxury rate from 20 to 10 per
cent.
The Thomas amendment levying 4
tax OF 100 per cent on the amounts Of
campaign contributions above $500
probably will go out in conference
Having voted against II on the floor
none of the Senate conferees are ex'
pected to put up any serious fght
to retain it in the bill.
Child Labor Amendment.
The child labor amendment. levying
taxes OF 10 per cent on the profits Of
employers of child labor over anc
above all other taxes, probably will
have a difficult time in conference
The Senate conferees are expected &c
stand by it to a man. but House con-
ferees probably will oppose it, since
obviously, it is provision from
which no revenue is expected. Re
ferring the question to the House it.
self. however. the conferees probably
would receive instructions to accept
the Senate amendment.
II
hold a few meetings during the holt
days, but there probably will be little
real work in conference before thu
first Of the year. Just how long th'
bill will remain in conference Is diff
ficuIt to predict. Some members o.
Congress believe it will be near tbs
end of the session before the con
ferees> reach an agreement, Others
prophesy that an agreement will b
reached before the middle OF Febru
airy.
