sure that conditions that would pre-

been held desirable to announce the

zens Association held in the Mount

AND MOTOR
TAXATION OPPOSED.
Possibility of Fights Seen
When Bill as Completed
Reaches House.

By the Associated Press.
Contests on the estate and automo-
bile tax rates appear likely when the
proposed tax reduction bill reaches
the floor Of the House.
Although notifications of both
taxes have been agreed to by the
House ways and means committee in
preparing the bill on a non-parttsan
basis. and an almost unanimous re-
port by the committee Is expected,
some House members have expressed
opposing views on these rates.
Representative Watson of Pennsyl-
vania a Republican member OF the
committee, yesterday announced he
would seek repeal of the estate levy.
On the other hand. some House men,
hers, including Representative Ram
sever, Republican, of Iowa, are con-
sidering fighting the reduction in es-
tate rates proposed by the committee.
Passenger Car Levy.
Similarly, some members in both
parties are quietly laying plans to
conduct a fight on the floor for repeal
of the per cent levy on automobile
passenger cars. The committee voted
to cut this tax to 8 per cent. which, it
estimated, would mean loss in reve-
nue. of s37,500.000 annually. Repeal
of the tax would mean loss of $780,.
600 900 annually.
In the face of this opposition, how
ever, Representative Tilson of Con-
necticut, Republican floor leader,
hoped to get an agreement with Demo
cratic leaders for united support for
the measure in the form in which it is
repOrted by the committee
Brewery Inspection.
The subcommittee on administra-
tive provisions has before it a pro-
posal from Assistant Secretary An
drews of the Treasury, in charge Of
prohibition, to restore the occupa-
tional tax of 500 annually on brew
cries. He hopes by this to give pro-
hibition officials power of inspection
of breweries, which, he says, is
necessary to check the flood of high
powered beer
The full committee turned down
a suggestion of Mr.. Andrews that a
tax of l cent a gallon be levied on
cereal beverages to obtain the same
power of inspection.
The subcommittee, working out
details of general provisions already
agreed to, expect to wind up their
the meeting of the whole committee
Tuesday. Final action on all pro-
visions to be incorporated in the new
measure is expected to be taken this
week.
