AGREE ON TAXES
Increased Inheritance Tax Con.
sidered by Committee.
Breaking Up OF Great Fortunes
Cited as Object.

Washington. July 2s--Increased in
heritance taxes are being considered
seriously today as a new Program on
the tax program being drafted by the
house ways and means committee.
This Increase Is being urged fer the
purpose Of bringing in revenues to
take the place or taxes which it IS
sought to have lifted from business,
and with the object Of breaking up
the great fortunes that are being
amassed in this country.
The farmer, labor, single tax and
other Organizations which have zp-
peared before the committee have
agreed in urging that the inheritance
taxes be increased It Is the only rec
ommendation on which they have
agreed
Representative Ramseyer, Of Iowa,
introduced in the house and there IS
pending before the committee a bill
which would double the inheritance
tax and reduce the exemption In
4 ritzrcs taxes run now from 1 to "a
per cent with an exemption of s25. 00o-
The RamSeyer bill would increase the
taxes on higher inkeritances to . max
imum of so per cent, with an increase
OF this maximum to 10 per cent and
reduction of exemption to s1o.0e0
where the decedeut left no wife or
children
Program Agreed Upon
The program which was agreed
upon by the president and Republican
leaders Is al follows:
Passage Of the tax revision Iegisla-
ton as early as possible in August
Passage OF the WinsIoW bill author
izing the war finance corporation to
extend credits to the railroads
Passage OF the administration meas
ure authorizing the war finance cor
poration to grant relief to the farmers
Authorization Of additional aDrro-
priations for the shipping board
Agreement on conference report on
SnaOot-SWeet bill for Reorganization OF
soldier relief agencies
Agreement on conference reports On
anti-beer legislation
When this program is carried cut
there is some slight hope that the
house may recess. aftho leaders are
holding out no promises. for they de-
clare there will be many conferences
reports which will have to be acted
upon and they anticipate some diff
cuIties in adjusting legislative differ
ences with the senate The leaders
however. promise that If the program
as laid down rs carried out by August
IS there will be some relief for mem
bers Of the house even tho it may be
only long recess
