sideration, AS Well AS
Debate on Peace Treaty
MANY AMENDMENTS
TO THE TAX MEASURE
Penrose to Ask Consent to
Fix Time for Final Vote
on Leading Features

Washington, D. c., Oct. 3.--The SEN
ate entered to-day upon the second
week of consideration of the tax re-
vision bill with indica ations that final
vote would be delayed until late in The
month. More than fifty amendments
affecting every tax provision in the
measure remained to be acted on, and
in addition uninterrupted work on the
bill was to be prevented by debate on
the peace treaty and votes on those
pacts and on the Panama canal tolls
repeal bill was to get attention.
Chairman Penrose of the finance
committee in charge of the tax meas
ure, expected to reach soon unani-
nous consent agreement for time TO
vote on the high spots" of the meas
ure, but much discussion of the out
standing provisions was looked for be-
fore final action on any of them. SEN
'ator Penrose said he was keeping his
mind open on all of the major amend
ments Offered, adding that there was
"a whole lot to be said for the Smoot
plan for a manufacturers sales tax or
a similar idea"
The provision OF the committee bill
most under fire is that reducing the
maximum surtax rate to 32 per cent
Three substitutes for this section al
ready have been offered, two from the
Democratic side and one from the Re-
publican side. Senator Lenroot, Re-
publican, Wisconsin. has proposed that
the maximum rate be made 60 per
cent of the amount by which an indi-
yidual income exceeds 100000 in lieu
of the present 65 per cent of the
amount by which the income exceeds
$l.000,000.
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, Democratic leader in the tax
revision fight, proposed a maximum of
- per cent of the amount by which
the income exceeds 100000, while
Senator King, DEMOCRAT, Utah, would
have the rate forty per cent of the
amount by which the income exceeds
s66 900.
Only one substitute has been pro-
posed for the excess profits tax, Sen
ator King fayoring a ten per cent tax
on that part of the corporations net
income in excess Of 20 per cent of the
usual deduction allowed under the bill.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massa-
chusetts, has placed before the SEN
ate an amendment which would pro-
vide for a tax of from l21s per cent to
24 per cent on corporation income,
while Senator Smoot would retain the
present fiat 10 per cent rate.
Senator'S Smoot. Simmons, Hing and
Republicans, Oregon, have
given notice that they intend to of
fer amendments to the transportation
provision. Senator'S King and Smoot
would repeal all transportation taxes,
including telephone, telegraph, cable
