 maximum surtaX rate from 4o to 20 ! per cent. They proposed instead ! that tht present exemptions he re- tained. lesser cuts be made on the
 higher SurtaXcs and all the war eN-
 cisn and special taxes he repealed.
 Mir. Rainey proposed a maximum
 surtaX of go per cent and Mir. Hull
 one of 25 per cent

 single persons and from $2,500 10 23.500 for married persons, with
 S40o in addition to be deducted for
