BEL: R BILL

Calder's Plan to Tax 2.75
Beverage Stirs Anti
Saloon League.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Under an
amendment to the House tax bill
adopted today by the senate finance
committee, hotels would be re-
quired TO pay Il tax of 10 per cent
on the amount in excess of 50
charged to transients for single
rooms and on the amount in excess
of IS charged for double rooms.
Washington, Sept. 17.-HavinS
practically completed revision of
the house tax bill, the senate fin
ance committee was ready today TO
receive Senator Smoot's proposal
for a manufacturers sales tax and
Senator Calder's plan 10 tax 2.l0
per cent beer at the rate of 50
per barrel.
Consider SmoOt Bill.
The sales tax is embodied in a
bill which Senator SmoCt had Civ
en- notice he would offer to the
committee today, as a substitute for
the revised house measure. I'm
der the Utah senator's plan all in
ternaI revenue would be obtained
from five sources. incomes of in
dividuals and corporations; estate
taxes; tobacco taxes, and a three
percent levy on manufacturers
sales.
| Senator Smoot estimates that
these taxes would yield $2,8S0,00o
annually, and that this sum, with
the amounts received from the tar
| if, through collection of back
! taxes and from salvage and mis-
! celia neous sources, would be suf-
, ficient to meet the government S
revenue needs for this and sue
ceeding years,
May Reject.
The genaral-epin4eh at-tlIe- capt.
! tol seemed to be that the commit
/ tee would reject Mr. Smoot's bill.
| In that event the senator expected
to bring it forth in the senate as a
substitute when the house bill is
under consideration. His propos-
! ais have been endorsed by a num-
Der of manufacturers associations
and is looked upon with favor by
/ some Republican leaders, who,
] however, have indicated that they
did not deem this the proper time
to consider it.
Senator Calder's beer proposal
has drawn fire from the Anti-Sa-
loon league, which has announced
through its general counsel, Wayne
B. Wheeler, that it would be
strongly opposed by the prohibition
forces.
Definite Vote Delayed.
i Only a few loose ends of the re-
vision of the house bill remained
to be caught up today by the SEN
ate committee Revisions OF the
levy provisions of the house bill as
propably agreed upon were expect
ed to stand The committee, how
ever. has decided to delay definite
vote until next Wednesday aftel
: the legislative and treasury expert;
had completed the actual drafting
of the measure.
Democratic members are expect
. ed to vote solidly against the bill
and to carry their fight to the sen
!; ate floor. Their fight will be dl
rected chiefly against the provis
ions repeating the excess profit!
tax and reducing the income sur
tax brackets to a maximum Of ).
