SMOOT PROPOSES
SUBSTITUTE FOR
ALL REVENUELAWS
Senator's Bill Favors
Only Six Forms of
Taxation.

Complex revision of the Federal
taxation system is proposed in a
new bill which Senator Reed
Smoot. of Utah. will offer the See
ate Fiance Committee as a substi-
tute for the measure created and
passed by the House.
The bill provides for the repeal
of all existing revenue laws, the
elimination of the thirty-odd forms
of nuisance" and other objection
able taxes, and the substitution of
method of collecting revenue by
six forms Of txation.
The forms proposed are the in
come tax with a maximum of 80
per cent: a 10 per cent corporation
profits tax; the present tobacco
taxes: the present State ak; import
duties. and per cent manufac-
turers' sale tax. Supplementing
these revenues would be the paw
ment of tax arrearages, the sal
vaging of war materoals and taxes
on alcoholic beverages.
Void Cut Collection Expense.
According to Senator Smoot, the
bill IL 1t is exacted, will not only
provide suffifficient revenue TO sover
all the expenses of the govern
ment for the current fiscal year,
but will leave a considerable sur
plus. In addition, he declared, the
simplified system of taxation il
proposes would reduce the expense
Of collecting revenue almost as per
cent.
Describing the features of his
bill. Senator Smot said last night
Briefly my proposal is to repeal
every revenue law on the books
today and write a new law, so that
il will be an easy thing for every
one to know just what the law is.
The program is to strike, out
every provision of the revenue bill
just adopted by the House and to
insert provisions imposing taxes
from six sources and from these
the government.

Grain Standard Changes Urged.

A committee of the state legisla.
ture, accompanied by L. E. Potter
president Of the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau federation, has gone to Washing
ton to argue for changes in federal
grain standards.
Representatives Of South Dakota
and North Dakota farmers probably
will support the Minnesota delegation
in the hearings to be conducted by the
federal bureau of markets.
If the bureau declines to make
changes in federal grain grades, as
asked by the northwest farmers to
give them fairer returns for their
grain, the Minnesota board of grain
appeals is under instructions from the
legislature to restore state grades,
which were in force before establish
ment of the present federal grades,
Mr.. Potter said. The committee in
cludes Senators Ole Sageng, James
Cumming and George H. Sullivan and
Representatives Elias Nordgren, C.
M. .Bendixen and Asher Howard.
N. J. Holmberg, commissioner of
agriculture, and o. P. B. jacobson,
railroad and warehouse commissioner
also accompanied the delegation.
