EXCESS PROFITS TAX
EXTENDED TO JAN. 1
Senate Committee Sides With
House and Against Mellon
on Corporation Levy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Corporations
would be required to pay excess profits
taxes for another year under a decision
to-day of the Senate Finance Commit
tee. which finally approved the provision
In the House bill repeating these taxes
as of next January 1 instead OF last
January 1, as recommended by Secre-
tary Mellon.
The committee also inserted a pro-
vision in the House measure repeating
the capital stock tax. effective next
year, and adopted an amendment in
creasing the corporation income tax
from 10 to 15 per cent. instead OF 12A
per cent, effective January ], 1922.
These represented the major decisions
reached at two sessions. although it was
said officially that the committee virtu-
ally had decided to amend the House
bill SO as to continue the tax on ex-
press packages and oil transported by
pipe line. Whether any portion OF the
taxes on the transportation OF freight
and passengers will be retained after
next January / will depend, Chairman
, Penrose said, upon a report to be made
tomorrow by the Treasury as to the
savings in expenditures expected to be
made this fiscal year by the various
Government departments.
This report was called for to-day by
the committee. which was represented
as taking the position that it could not
complete the levy sections of the bill
until IL had more detailed information
as to how the departments expected to
accomplish the $3.50, 900 cut in outgo
agreed upon at the White House tax
conference last month.
With this information in hand, Chair
| man Penrose said the committee prob
ably could finish all levy sections of the
| bill tomorrow.
| Provisions in the House bill stricken
| out to-day included those exemptinl
from the income tax the salaries of the
! President and Judges OF Federal courts
| the first $500 Of income from investments
in building and loan associations anc
contributions made by corporations fol
| charitable purposes. The committee alsC
disagreed TO the House provision allow
| ing travelling Salesmen to deduct from
their income all expenses incurred while
on the road.
A new section added TO the House bill
would require individuals having a gros.
income of $4,000 annually to make a re-
turn, irrespective of whether the tota
amount of net income was taxable
Chairman Penrose said the Treasury ex.
pected through this provision to collec
income tax from many persons not nov
making returns
Another provision added by the com
mittee would permit banks to deduct
for purposes of Federal taxation the
amount OF taxes paid to States on th'
shares of stockholders.
The committee agreed to sections o
the House bill exempting from tax IN
terest on bank deposits of foreigners en-
gagged in business in this country, bu
rot having regular places of business
and exempting fraternal beneficiary so
cieties from Federal taxation. 1t agreet
also to the House provision permitting
corporations after next January ! t
make consolidated returns for subsldiar.

companies or an individual return for
each subsidiary.
Discussing action on the levy sections,
Chairman Penrose said in his opinion
no new taxes would have to be imposed
and that sufficient funds would be raised
by the levies already agreed upon. The
thought of the committee. he added, was
to repeal the taxes on the transporta-
tion of freight and passenger. with the
levies on oil by pipe lines and on express
packages retained because there was
no particular demand for their repeal.
Under the bill as amended to-day
corporations would pay s60.000.000 less
in taxes in 1922 than under the present
law. but most of this loss In Government
revenue would be made up by committee
changes.
The reduction in corporation taxes
would be accounted for by repeal of the
capital stock tax. In 1923, however, cor
porations would pay s242.500.00 less
than under the present law, according to
Treasury estimates. through repeal OF
the profits tax, which would cut Gov
ernment revenues $450.000,000 a year.
AS an Offset corporations. it was ex-
planned. would pay an additional per
cent. income tax. estimated at S267,-
500, 900.

ers' lobbies had been established In
Washington. They represented all
branches OF the political movement
among farmers. ranging from the North
Dakota Non-Partisan League group 10
more conservative organizations. All
or them. however. had politics In mind
as the best method of procedure
The result was series of subdivi-
sions. SO that one group represented the
grain growers, another the livestock pro-
ducers. another the dairy interests and
still another the cotton producers. The
fruit growers were represented, and still
others represented a radical movement
which aimed to use the farmers move
ment for selfish purposes. The whole
movement was predicated upon the idea
that legislation for farmers should be
passed regardless of what other inter-
ests OF the country demanded.
This found its chief expression In the
tariff. and its expression had much to
do with discrediting the movement Ex-
orbitant tariffs on wool. hides and butter
rad the effect of awakening clear think
ing farmers to a realiza ton of what
really was being brought about.
Although the agricultural bloc has
been bolder than any other group dur
ing the last few months In demanding
legislation of special benefit to the
farmers OF the country, the bloc Idea
has spread out in many other directions
The only groups that have actually or
ganized In addition to the agricultural
bloc are the following:
Pacific coast bloc. irrigation bloc. ex-
service mems bloc, and the new OF
baby" Congressmen's bloc.
OF all these groups perhaps the least
objectiona BILE from a broad and states
manlke view of Congressional affairs. Is
the group of baby" Congressman. They
do not represent any special section
of the country. or any special interest
One of the prime movers in this bloc Is
Representative Martin c. Ansorge OF
New York City.
These "baby' members believe the old
timers fiddle around" too much. thai
they waste too much time in conducting
the business of Congress. They stand
for speedier and more efficient legisla-
tive methods. more pep in the Congress

Senator Hiram Johnson, and Repro

House Committee on Military Affairs
both OF California, are among the fore
most members of the Pacific bloc. AM
legislation which they believe will bene
fit that section of the country is backed
by this group. The senators ana rep

in recent years in the exclusion of Orien

on Yacht Mayflower.

President Harding went on a golfing
voyage down Long Island Sound yes
terday. Leaving the yacht Mayflower
at Glen Cove he drove to Locust Valley
and played over the course of the Pip
ing Rock Club. Before sunset he and
his travelling companions were again
aboard the yacht and headed for Gar
diners Bay, at the end OF the island.
To-day he will have another try at his
favorite sport at the National Golf
Club, near Southampton. This will enu
his sojourn near New York. Tonight
the Mayfiower will be on the ocean, re-
turning to Washington.
Each President of the United States
is an honorary member of Piping
Rock. Woodrow Wilson played thero
in 1917. Mr.. Harding does not pretend
to be sharpshooter as a golfer. but
as Presidents go he is good one. BY
driving moderately, keeping good di-
rection and performing neatly on the
green's he was enabled yesterday to
turn in card Of 103 for the full eigh-
teen holes. The course is regarded as
rather difficult.
His partner in the foursome was How
ard F. Whitney. president of the United
States Golf Association. Their oppo-
nents were ]. Leonard Replogle and
Percy r. Pyne I'd. Sad to relate. the
Presidential combination was beaten.
But this, one Of the caddies related. was
due to no special failing but rather to
the opposition being rotten with luck"
While the match was in progress Mrs
Harding and members of the party from,
the Mayflower, including Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover and Secretary of War
Weeks, found diversion in the clubhouse,
where some Of them played bridge.
