ATTACKS SOLDIER
BONUS IN TAX BILL
Senator New Declares Amend
ment by Reed, Of Missouri,
Is Unconstitutional
REVISION FIGHT STILL ON
by the Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 31.-Thc Rcpub-
lican fight on the Reed soldier bonus
amendment 10 the tax revision bill was
opened today by Senator New. of In
diana. who raised the point that the
amendment was unconstitutional.
Senator New said the Reed amend
ment proposed to tax ono class of ciH-
zens for the benefit of another, and
that this at least was in violation of
the spirit of tho Constitution.
Arguing that the amendment was not
in conflict with the Constitution. Scna =
tor Reed told the Republicans that thcr
would have to vote on the soldier bonus
proposition. He said he undcrtood that
the majority proposed to shut of dis
CussiOn by moving to table the amend
mCnt when offered.
II M saying to you (thc Republ-
Cans) and to those on this side OF the
chamber who do not agree with me, y
Senator Reed added. that vote to
table this amendment would be worse
than vote against the Soldiers Bonus
Bill because il will be a vote against
the soldiers and in favor Of the profteers
at tho same time.
Returning today to its now more than
month old battle over the tax revision
bill. the Senate had to dispose of these
major proposals before II could hope to
bring the measure to q final vote:
The corporation capital stock tax,
with an amendment by Senator Lodge
proposing to credit holding companies
for the amount of this tax paid by their
subsidiaries.
Excise taxes, many Of which are pro-
posed for repeal under the compromise
revision bill.
\ new method of taxing insurance
companies other than life.
Th" SmOOt manufacturers sales tax.
The Reed amendment to continue the
excess profits tax with the proceeds used
to put through the ivCway soldier
bonus plan.
Tho Smoot proposal to exempt from
tHXation income received by foreign
trade corporations and foreign traders
from business done in China and the
possessions of the United States.
In addition there was promised re-
ncwal of tic fight over III" corporation
income tax rate. the inheritance tax
section and several others which ten
tAtivcy have been disposed Of.
Senators on both sides were agreed
that this constituted a formidable pro-
gram, containing elements which might
bring on prolonged debate, but they
hoped that the bill could be put through
this week. 1t was the plan of the Re-
publican leaders to get Il vote by We'd.
