BILLION DOLLARS SHY
Senate Tax Experts Think Their Bill
Is Inadequate.

Washington. Sept. ga shrink
age of more than $1,000OO0,O00 in in
come and excess profits taxes this fiS-
cal year were rcckoned upOE by the
Senate Finance Committee in revis-
ing the House Tax Bill with a view to
raising $3324, 100000 in internal revc-
nue. in the twelve months ending
June 80.
This was disclosed by the majority
report approved to-day by cOmmitt""
Republicans and made public. Tn"
estimated total of revenue under th"
bill is $l36.O000O0 less than Treasury
experts have figured would bc, return
Cd this fiscal year under the present
law. but IS $Ni,OJO.0OO more than the
revised total under the House hill.
Estimated returns this fiscal year
from income and profits taxes are ST.
500. 100000, according to the report. as
against approximately S.00O,0O0,0OO
of actual collections in the fiscal year
ended last June 80. Only about $50
OGJ. 600 of this difference of SLIGO
600. 600 is accounted for by changes
proposed i'm the present law. Treasury
officials and committee members cX-
plaiECd that the remainder was
charged off to shrinkagc on account
of business depression, diversion of
funds to taX-cXcmpt securities and so
forth.
Declaring that the 1924 100000 to-
tai proposed under the revised bill was
only $52,OOO.OOO more than the treas
ln.y had estimated would have to be
raised through internal taxes, the re-
port said that this was "a margin a.
safety none too large for the fiscal
year 1922 in view of the existing bus
ircSS depression and the uncertainty
attaching to the yield Of the income
and profits taxes"

And all the fellows saked to see
The ones I'd caught. "Oho!r said

An hasn't caught single thing,

They laughed at me, but all their

Travelled no further than my ears.
Twas true I'd fished all day without
Sharing a single speckled trout.
But what of that I'd had a day
That could loaf and dream away,

And been as care-free as the breeze.
