EXCESS PROFITS TAX
By IhSTALLMENTS.
New Revenue Bill Will Re.
form Method of Pay
ment
WILL CORRECT
ALL INEQUALITIES

WASHINGTON, June i2.-In discus
sion Of inequalities in the present reve-
nue. bill, brought to the fore by several
witnesses before the Ways and Mean.
Committee yesterday, Chairman Claude
kltchin said the committee intended TO
! provide in the next bill for the payment
| OF excess profit taxes In instalments.
Another remedy that will be applied
IN the new measure one intended 10
double the corresponding returns from
the present law, 81 an equalization OF
the taxes between corporations and
partnerships. The tax on the latter now
Is higher Mr. Kitehin admitted that
great injustice had thus been inflicted.
S. C. Pirie of Chicago, a member OF
the department store firm OF Carson,
Pirie, Scott and Co.. argued against the
present tax on partnerships, as com ,
pared with corporations. He pointed Out
that there was no difference in incomes
hence the law should make no differ .
ence in taxes. He used his firm,
partnership, as an example. II II wers
stock concern, he said. rs tax would
be 100000 less. II was at this juno
ture mat Mr.. iKtchin said the now bill !
Npuid ooitccb tiib lHtQudlltN.
Albert r. Palmer, an attorney Of New
York, declared that less than "a per .
cent. OF the corporations in the country
were paying taxes under the excess
profits section. He objected 10 the pres
ent system Of fixing capital as a basis
OF excess profit taxes and advocated a,
tax on gross sales. Such a tax, he said,
would reach all concerns and could be
passed on to the consumer.
Mr. Palmer declared that II the sys-
tenn in practice in England, with a ta1
OF so per cent. on excess profits, were
made effective in the United States
there would be many failures.
The government would have 10 en-
gage an army OF watchmen TO guard
the defunct plants" he said.
Ellis AInes Ballard OF Philadelphia
general counsel for the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company, laid the trou-
Dles or that corporation before the com
mittee and asked for an amendment
which would protect it from paying the
excess profits and income taxes OF its
leased companies. He said that under
leases made years ago the Rapid Tran
sit Company agreed TO pay as part Of
tbe rental all the taxes then known.
He asked an amendment which would
permit the company 10 take from the
rental the amount of the excess profits
and income taxes. Mr.. Ballard said
hat the taxes, il paid by the parent
company, would take all its net profits.

OF these the District of Columbia

All estimates of the number of

pleted on Monday. Members Of the

and others who observe Saturday
as the Sabbath were granted per-
mission by the President to regis
ter on Monday. Although there
