The commanding officer of
the regiment, while entering the
barracks, noticed in front of
him a non-commissioned officer
who returned, contrary to all ar

FIRST ESTIMATE SHORT

lively agreeing today upon a grad
uated ia. on war excess profits esti-
mated by the treasury to yield only

incomes or TO resort 10 some new tax
proposition. AS now planned. the rev.
enue from these two sources would
fall 81, $50, 000, 900 short.
The committee after an all-day
session tentatively agreed to specific
exemption of $4,000 plus 10 per cent.
on invested capital instead of $4,000
plus 10 8 per cent, exempted from
excess profits tax under the present
law, Various taxing plans also were
discussed, with the committee favor

cess of the exemption of 10 per cent.

cess profits; so per cent. on net. in
come in excess of 90 per cent. and
not in excess of Is per cent. and 80
per cent. on net income in excess of

war excess profits tax runs from 20
per cent on net income in excess Of

Is percent of invested capital for the
taxable year, to 60 per cent. in eX
cess of g per cent. of such invested
capital, together with s per cent. on
