TERED BY SENATORS IN DAY
AND NIGHT SESSIONS
TOTAL TAX UNCHANGED
SENATOR REED SAYS ACTION
WOULD MAKE NO CHANGE IN
AMOUNT REVENUE COLLECTED

Wasllington.-The provision in the
on income taxes payable this year was
approved unanimously few days ago
by the Senate finance committee.
This action was taken after day in
which the pruning knife had been used
vigorously when the rate schedules
were taken up. Other action AT the
night session included modification OF
the corporation tax, insertion Of a pro-
vision to prevent issuance hereafter of
tax exempt securities and rejection of
sales tax proposal
Ii was agreed to increase the cOrpor-
alton tax of 12l5 per cent to IA per
cent and eliminate the special tax on
capital stock amounting to 81 for each
1000 of stock.
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, who proposed the action, said it
would make no material change in the
amount of revenue collected from this
source, but that present administrative
difficulties would be lessened by elm
ination of the capital stock tax. The
vote ON the motion was S to 4.
Senator Reed also proposed the
amendment, which was carried by a
similar vote, to make taxable the in
come from state and municipal securi-
ties hereafter issued. Opponents ar
gued such action was unconstitutional
and would have to be brought about
by constitutional amendment. Such IN
amendment was defeated this session
by the house, which also rejected II
proposal such us was adopted few
days ago.
Both the corporation tax change and
the tax exempt securities proposal
we're carried by non-partisan votes,
Senator's Mclean, Connecticut, Repub-
lican, and Gerry, Rhode Island; Walsh,
Massachusetts, and King, Utah, Demo-
Gratis, supporting Mr.. Reeds motion,
while Senators Stanfield Republican,
Oregon, and Simmons, North Carolina; I;
Jones, New Mexico, and Harrison,
Democrats, opposed them.
Approval of the reduction in income
taxes payable this year means that,
If the bill is enacted into law, only
one-half of the next tax inStalment,
due June 10, and only three-fourths
of the last, two installments will have
to be paid. If the tax has been paid
in full IL refund of onefourth will be

to show her around? J. X. G.

keep going. I'm not at all sure that
you are playing fair with this girl,

your wife.
If you are old enough to know real
love from puppy love, then you also
are old enough to know the decent

one is weak, to dodge responsibility
by the simple expedient of not think

The man might put forth his

that it is not possible to control
