Collection of Taxes Next Year
Promises To Be Some Job Owing
To Non Passage OF Revenue Bill

the plan formulated in the pending bill,
and adding this to the old law to make
up the part OF the deficit between the
four billions, which the existing law
probably would raise, and the six ,bil-
lions which the treasury believes should
be raised by taxation in 1919. An I'M
just feature Of this program, congress
sional leaders think would be that the
existing provisions for. excess profits
taxes have worked recognized hard
ships on many businesses and the i'm
position of added war profits taxes
would aggravate the situation.
The possibility of having no new com:
prehensive program of revenue legtsla-
ton land consequently of raising less
than the six billions sought from this
source before the end of the fiscal year,
June 80 next, has prompted the treas
ury to consider plans for issuing a
quantity of short term notes-maturing
in one year or less and paying these off
from the proceeds of heavier taxes
which would be necessary in 1920. This
course would depend largely, however.
on the attitude of the next Congress
on revenue legislation.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Chaotic con-
ditions in the collection of taxes next
year now seem unavoidable, accord
ing to a Treasury statement which
has been prepared commenting on the
delay of Congress in enacting the
pending revenue bill. This statement,
to be made public shortly. will explain
why the internal revenue bureau now
is proceeding with plans to collect
les far below those proposed in the
new measure.
The only way to avoid resorting to
collections under the old law, the
treasury now believes, is for Congress
to rush the bill to completion within
two weeks. Most House and Senate
leaders do not believe this possible.
In fact leaders of both parties are
said to share the opinion that the
measure even may not be enacted at
this session. Consequently the situa-
ton appears to be that all the work
of Congress on revenue legislation
during the past six months may go
for naught and that the present rev.
enue law will be enforced for another
year, with possibly a few additional
levies.
In view of this, congressional leaders
have discussed with treasury officials
the advisability of trying to rush
through both houses a Joint resolution
imposing war profits taxes according to
