The Democratic and Republican
regulars in the House took a plank
away from the insurgents today
when each brought out for incor.
poration In the tax reduction bill q
graduated plan for taxing gifts.
The regular Republican plan was
presented by Chairman Green, OF
the Ways and Means Committee.
1t provided minimum tax Of
per cent on $4,000, raising the tar
on larger amounts until q maxi.
mum OF 10 per cent was reached
on $4,000 and over.
The Democratic plan was offered
by Congressman Garner, and was
higher In maximum.
I'VE asked others to offer in.
heritance and gift tax amendments
which include original proposals. Of.

Percentages mean little until rela.

I'VE ask to examine the brackets,
percentages and all parts Of the
plan to learn Just what il means
before 1t is sprung on the House
after debate is closed.
THAT is the only fair course to
pursue with a great tax bill in

Gift Tax Favored.
1t 10 apparent that q large ma

tax and one will be Incorporated in
the bill.
With this contest out Of the way
the House expects to settle down
to consideration Of the changes pro-
posed in the excise taxes. A sharp
struggle is coming over the pro-
posal to repeal taxes on automobile

and a reduction from 10 to 5 per
cent in the tax on trucks Of two
tons and less carrying capacity.
The demand for this change has
gained strength since the bill was
brought before the House.
