Tax Revision Bill
May Be Voted On
Next Wednesday
BY A. O. HAYWOOD.
International News Service.


Finishing touches were put to the
tax revision bill today by Republican
members of the House Ways and
Means Committee.
The completed draft of the legisla-
ton will be sent to the Public Printer
tonight. Monday afternoon It will be
in the hands of the Republican mem.
bers OF the House, convened in special
conferences to approve 1t or to vote
changes in Il.
Administration and Congressional
leaders are rounding up their forces
today to insure favorable caucus action
on the committee work. The most
vigorous onslaught on the proposed
legislation encountered thus far by the
committee has come from advocates of
taSless soft drinks. They have de-
scended In a body on Chairman Ford
ney with threats and denunciation
from the manufacturers because of the
shifting of the tax from the consum-
er to the manufacturer, and the i'm
position of any tax at all.
1t In estimated that these proposed
changes will result in loss of reve
nue. amounting to $50, 000, 900. of which
$50 100000 is charged to increase Of
exemption from the normal income
tar.
The committee decided to reduce
the tar on furs from 10 to 8 per cent
and on candy from to per cent. All
OF the so-called luxury taxes are ro-
pealed. but the committee is seeking
way TO substitute for them a 3 per
cent tax on the manufacturers of ar
ticles embraced in the luxury schedule
OF the existing law. Such a tax would
yield about $1,000, 900.

HARDING SAYS
EQUITY IS AIM
Of TAXREV|S|0N
Looks for New Retrenchment
Policy to Free Business
From Depression.
By FRANK A. STFTSON,
International News Service.

President Harding believes that
highly important progress along the
lines Of tax revision has thus far
been accomplished by his administra-
ton.
In a statement issued today from
the White House, it is asserted that
the whole tax reform program of the
Administration cortemplates freeing
business from what have been found
"paralyzing and exasperating condi-
tons, encouraging to the utmost the
resumption of enterprise and bust
ness, removing every incentive to
evasion and fraud, and distributing
the tax burden with the greatest
possible equity on those best able to
pay"
Equity To All Is Aim.
The aim of the Administration in its
revenue revision program, according
tn the statement, is to establish meth.
DDS that will raise the needed revenue
within reasonable certainty, that will
make collection sure and inexpensive,
and that will properly adjust the bur.
den among all classes Of the com.
Hlunlty.
The Administration emphasized that
no effort has been made to relieve the
rich Of their share of the burden, but
that steps have been taken to insure
that no class will be left an avenue of
escape from these.
Evils Of Excess Tax.
Responsibility for the intense specu.
lation and waste that followed the war
is largely placed by the White House
on the operation of the present excess
profits taxes with its pyramiding and
consequent multiplication of the bur-
den on the consumer. 1t is also held
to be an unsatisfactory tax upon which
to base revenue estimates because its
product of revenue is so extremely
variable and I'm the present epoch of
reduced earnings II would utterly fail
to produce the amount required"
As an alternative, the Administra-
ton believes the increase of the direct
tax on all corporation earnings, now
10 per cent. to 1914 or Is per cent
would produce 22.50O,000. more reve-
nue. even with the exemption of the
100000 corporations doing business of
less than $4,000 per year.
