House Committee Expects to
Complete Work by End
Of Week.

Majority members or the house
ton that they weuld be able virtu-
with drafting . special tax program
In connection with the soldaers' bonus
set to work today with the expecta-
tion that they would be able virtu-
ally to complete their task by the
end of the week.
Treasury experts were called In to
give the pFopabls yield from each OF
the various tax sources suggested at
the hearing before the full committee.
While the tax subcommittee was
at work another subcommittee. under
Representative Green OF Iowa, began
what changes are to be made In the
measure.
Would Increase Inheritance Tax.
In the House today Representative
Perlman, republican. New York. in.
troduced bill proposing q general
increase in the Inheritance tax rates
designed to yield an additional $780,.
100000 year in revenue. He said
this would go a long way toward
paying the bonus.
The rates proposed by Mr.. Perlman
are graduated from per cent on
net estates not in excess OF $4,000
and 50 per cent on nat estates ex-
ceeding S1o,0oe.ooo. This Is double
the existing rates.
&ssaoooooo Tax
That the so-called soldiers bonus"
or adjusted compensation bill. will
cause an additional annual tax Of
$3.50. 100000 to be raised. was tenta-
lively agreed upon in executive ses-
sion BY the majority members Of the
ways and means committee yester-
day. All thought Of levyinE against
the British or other foreign debts
was abandoned. and such internal
taxes 40 postage, on gasoline, bank
checks, stock and bond transfers were
considered.
Committeeman said it was not the
intention to rely upon any part, either
Of the interest or principal Of the
British or other foreign debts In con-
nection with the bonus. They said
that something around $3.50. .0oo, 900
Q year would take care OF the cash
payments to be made over the two
January 1. 1898. and that the finding
Of definite and certain sources from
which to obtain this amount was their
immediate concern.
The first question before the tax
subcommittee will be that of deciding
whether the total amount Of tax reve-
nue. Is to come from 4 limited group
be spread over q wide field. so a. to
make the burden as light as possible
on those who have to pay. 1t was
said that there were two schools Of
thought In the committee on this
question. Some members emphasized
that It would be the purpose to 20
arrange the tax program A. to inter-
fere rs little as possible with the re-
covery Of business.
There was said to be q drift Of SEN
timent in the committee for tax Of
possibly cent gallon on gasoline
and also levy on the transfer Of
stocks and bonds. These are only two
Of . score Of suggestions and 1t was
made plain that there had been no de-
cision az to these or any others.
