Agreement
Is Reached
On Tax Bill
Senate Finance Committee
Approves House Measure as
Amended--Proposed Rev.
enue on Whisky Beaten.
Early Action Is Planned

Washington, Sept. l9.--The tax
revision bill will be sent to the pres
idcnt by late in October, Chairman
Pcnrosc predicted today, in an
nouncing that the senate finance
committee had formally approved
the house measure as amended.
Neither the Smoot manufacturers
sales tax nor the Calder proposal
TO impose tax Of $6.+0 a gallon OH
al alcoholic liquors withdrawn from
bond for other than manufacturing
purposes will be included in the
measure as it will be presented to
the senate Wednesday. The All
thors have given notice, however.
that they expect to present these
amendments in the senate.
Senator Penrose said that it was
the plan TO take the bill up imme-
diately and press for final action.
He added that some features, par
ticularly the profits tax repeal and
the proposed reduction of the maxi
mum income surtax rate to 81 per
cent, would be opposed from Ser
tain quarters" but that there seem-
cd to be a desire to expedite passage.
Plan Early Action. r.
Under these circumstances" he
continued, there is reasonable ex-
pectation that the bill can be passed
in the senate with two weeks con-
sideration and ought not to require
moe, than a week in conference.
While treasury experts have yet to
complete their final estimate as to
the total revenue that probably will
be realized this fiscal year under the
measure, it was stated that the
amount would not be less than S..
20O,OOO,OO0. the maximum which
Secretary Mellon informed the COM
mittee would be necessary.
For the next fiscal year it is esti-
mated roughly that the return
would be around $2,700,0O0,000.
The Smoot sales tax plan was dis
cussed further in the committee to.
day with treasury experts partici.
pating, but Chairman Penrose said
Senator Smoot had stated afterwards
that he was willing not to press the
amendment in the committee, but
would reserve the right to submit il
to the senate. The committee did
not take a vote on the proposal, the
chairman added.
To Offer Tax on Beer.
The Calder whisky tax amend.
ment already has been accepted in
principle by the committee ard SEN
ator Pcnrose said the New York
senator would present it in the SEN
ate practically as committee
amendment. Senator Calder also
las reserved the right to offer an
other amendment to tax 275 per
cent beer at S. barrel.
Before finally approving the bill,
the committee voted two additional
changes. Under one amendment ad-
mission charges not exceeding 10
cents would be exempt from the
l-cent tax imposed by the present
law. Under the other, hotels would
pay tax of 10 per cent on the
amount charged to transients for
rooms, if the sum exceeds S. for one
person and So for two persons.
