session to commence work imme-
djately upon the drafting of a tax
reduction bill.
Many Of the miscellaneous rates
such as those up for discussion to-
day are expected to be reduced or
repealed, although Secretary Mellon
favors repeal only Of those yielding
small returns, such as the levy on
art works, in addition to the tax on
automobile trucks, tires and access
sories.
c. G. Gambrill of Chicago, speak
ing for the National Automobile
Dealers Association, told the COM
mittee today that collection of the
federal taxes on automobiles cost
each dealer an average of $500, an
nually and that the total cost to
dealers had been s4O,00O,O00 since
the tax first was levied. He asked
repeal OF all taxes on automobiles
and accessories.
Repeal of the occupation tax on
taxicabs of the five per cent levy
on passenger cars and the tax on
parts was urged by the National AS
ISOLATION of taXicab owners. The
occupational levy was described by
w. W. Cloud of Baltimore as dis
criminatory. He held that taxicabs
are a necessary part Of transporta-
tion.s
c. E. Barrett of Chicago. appearing
for the American Drivers assocla-
ton also asked repeal of these three
taxes.
There is no more reason for tax
ing an occupation such as operating
motor buses and taXicabs," he said,
that of taxing a railroad train or
street car"
The witness estimated that the oc-
cupational tax yields 1855, 600 an
uuslly.
