Before Committee.

WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-Before
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee today, Wilson Compton, of the
National Lumber Manufacturers AS
sociation, asked the repeal of the
capital stock levy of 81 for each
thousand of stock. Compton de
nounced this is a double taxation
with the present corporate levy and
said that capital stock taxation or
iginally was based upon the aggre-
gate value of shares Of stock while
the present law applied to the prac-
tice based on a tax upon either
the value of the net assets, value
of shares, capitalized, net earnings,
or estimated fair value and is in
herently and incapable of a just and
equitable application"
The American Mining Congress
also asked a repeal of this levy.
Mckinley w. Krieght declared the
tax burdened the mining industry
because of large reserves which the
mining companies must hold for
long periods.
