Would Tax Bank Deposits
Instead of Excess Profits

A turnover tax of one-quarter OF
j per cent, or cent on ~. on All
bank deposits is proposed in bill
introduced in the House today by
Representative Treadway, Republic
an, of Massachusetts,, a member OF
the Ways and Means Committee.
Treadway estimates s1,ooe.oeo.oco a
year would be produced under this
plan and offers II as a substitute
for the excess, profits tax.
The tax would be paid by the
banks and charged to the depos-
itors accounts. Mutual savings
banks, cooperative building ana
loan associations and similar Or
ganizatfons are exempt.
The latest report Of the Comp
troller of the Currency" says Tread
way, shows that the amount OF
exchanges OF clearing houses OF the
United States for the year 1919 was
S7,os1.s41.000. Assuming that 20
per cent of the transactions OF the
country did not go through clear
ing houses. there should be ADDED
to this amount sss.772.ss5,ooo. max
ing the total transactions for the
year s4s3,S64 ,s26, 900.
"A tax Of one-quarter Of j per
cent of this amount would have
brought in revenue of s1.2ss, s,662,slo.

SENATORIAL
SCORES REPRISALS
IN HIS RESOLUTION

Virtual recognition of the repub-
lie Of Ireland is proposed IN a reso-
luton introduced in the House yes
terday by Representative william
Z. Mason. Republican, OF Illinois
The resolution declares the House
during the present session OF Con-
gress should appropriate for dipIo-
matte and consular service in the
Irish republic, and expresses ''the
most earnest hope that the savage
war Of reprisal by which many inno-
cent lives are lost may speedily
come to an end, with the triumph
Of the doctrine of self-determina-
tion and the full independence OF
the republic of Ireland.
I'm the war between the republic
Of Ireland and the Kingdom OF
Great Britain" the resolution says.
Great Britain has determined upon
a savage warfare known sS re-
prisal, which means that the lives
and the property OF innocent non
combatants are destroyed because
Of the inability OF Great Britain TO
discover and punish those who. A.
claims. have offended against Brit
ish laws.
This wholesale destruction OF the
innocent Is conclusive evidence that
Great Britain has lost control OF
the government in Ireland"

COMMITTEES WORK
ON EMBARGO BILL
Senate Finance and House
Ways and Means Confer
On Details.

As the result of a conference yes
terday between members of the Sem
ate Finance Committee and the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House, it was announced that a new
bill would be introduced in the
House proposing an embargo of one
year on wool, cotton, sheep, live
stock. meats. wheat. beans and DO
tatoes.
Anticipating efforts to include
Manufactured wool and cotton goods
and other articles. members of the
committee said they will seek to
prevent widening the scope of the
measure. which will be pushed as
an emergency measure to take care
OF a temporary situation.
Democratic members of the COM
mittee suggested that President Will
son be consulted before the bill
was presented in an effort to get
an agreement with him not to veto
II. Republicans. however, object
ed to this on the ground that no
assurances could be given the Pres
ident that the bill as finally passed
would be in the same form as when
introduced.
Following the decision on the en-
barge bill. the two committees dis
cussed informally tax revision and
revenue measures generally.
