PROFITS TAX
REPEAL PROPOSED
ALTERATIONS IN THE LAW AD.
voCATED BY REPRESENTATIVE
LoNGWORTH OF OHIO.
Estimates That Proposed Tax Cuts
Would Decrease Federal Revenues
$3.50, 600, 900, but Loss Would Be
Made Up by Corporation Tax.

Washington.-A bill to repeal the
war and excess profits taxes and lev.
les on transportation and soft drinks
was introduced on February % by
Representative Longworth, Ohio, Re-
publican member of the ways and
means committee He said he did not
expect action on 1t until the coming
session of congress.
The measure also would abolish the
$1,000 exemption on incomes of cor
porations and would levy an addition
al tax of 5 per cent on such incomes.
Reduction of surfaces on higher in
comes from 20 per cent to a 40 per
cent maximum also is proposed.
Mr.. Longworth estimated that the
proposed tax cuts would decrease fed
eral revenues approximately $4,000
600 year, but he said the proposed
8 per cent tax on incomes of corpora
tons would yield at least $45OO0O. 600,
and that the remaining loss would be
made up in increased customs reve-
nues resulting from new tariff sched-
ules. He said he intended to reintrO-
duce it at the special session. HA
The bill, he added, provides no new
principle of taxation such as levies on
sales and undistributed profits of cor
pOratiOns.
Provision is made for final settle
ment of disputed taxes, which he esti-
mated now total more than $1,250,OOO,-
600.

Woman Writer Gives
View of Debate
on Maternity Bill

Women of the state who were In
terested in the Shepherd Towner bill
and who were among the thousands
who wrote their congressman to favor
the bill, will greatly enjoy the story
of the last days of the discussion oil
the bill in congress, as written by 8
senator's wife, in one of the current
magazines.
The story is in decidedly gossipy
form with rare bits of Illuminating
comment. She records one discus.
sion between Senator's Pitman and
Thomas, in no manner german to
the question, which occurred in the
midst of the debate and adds:
And then they went on to talk
about the Republican party, and how
they would probably vote in the next
election, and how they both felt about
the Civil war! And yet men say that
women can never stick to one point!
You will readily see, Mary dear, that
It inevitably takes long time to pass
bills when we have to 60 all the way
back to the Civil war and then re-
turn, not only to the present day, but
to the future, in the course of thrash
ing them out. But finally, after q
long time, Senator Pitfman completed
his speech by saying that the mater
nifty bill ought to become q law and
was going to become a law, and Sena-
tor France asked for a vote"
1t is the opinion of this senator's
wife that the bill would never have
become law if women had not had
the ballot. She says: Practically all
the lobbying for the bill has been
done by women-done, too without
heckling, without hysteria, without
loss of dignity"
"The bill passed." she adds, lit
was shorn, to be sure, of much of its
power, it's appropriations were re-
duced, its original purposes, in some
places, thwarted and changed-but it
was not defeated! 1t did not even
take roll call to pass it. In one
way, l wish l might have written that
it went thru triumphantly, with fly
ing colors, carrying everything before
1t so that not hand or a voice was
raised against it-that, is seems to
me, is the way it should have gone.
But in another way, l am glad it
went thru exactly as it did, fighting
for its very life, exactly as so many
of the women and children that it is
going to help have had to fight for
their lives. There is something to me
deeply symbolic about the manner of
It's victOry-sOmething, too, that
my deep-rooted convic-
ton that while the right always con-
quer in the end, it is only the hard
fought conquest which afterward
seems worth while, and great, and
holy.
ITO me, personally, there is still
another great significance in the pas
sage of this bill. 1t is the first big |
piece of legislation of greater interest |

passed since the nineteenth amend
