NUISANCE TAX
ADJUSTMENT
NEXT IN LINE
Plans of Both Administration

Reduction in Corporation Tax
Levy Will Also Be Prob
able, SmOOt Believes

Washington, March 25.-tR-Thc
last of the wartime nuisance taxes
would be abolished under present
plans of both administration and
Democratic leaders in congress for
the prospective revenue bill to be
framed next session. Discussion Of
the measure has been revived re-
Mellon of 100000, 900 treasury
surplus for the current fiscal year.
The corporation levy would get
next attention in the possible half
billion dollar slash and the remain
der of the melon would 60 to in
come tax payers.
Chairman Smoot Of the senate
finance committee, who will have
considerable influence in the final
writing of the measure, believes q
two per cent cut in the 1875 per
cent corporation levy is warranted.
Democratic leaders also have urged
reduction in this tax, which has not
been cut since the war, and which
was boosted from 1914 per cent a
year ago when the capital stock
levy was eliminated.
Two Pet lent Iut mentioned
A two per cent cut in this rate
would cost the government $780,
100000 revenue annually, Senator
Smoot estimates, or almost half Of
the prospective total reduction now
in sight.
While little hope is held out BY
Mr.. Smoot for the income tax payers,
this class is not without. it's friends
and slice all along the line income
rates 10 confidently anticipated.
Of the so-callcd nuisance taxes
still on the books, those on auto
mobiles, theatre admission and club
dues have drawn most antagonism
and the early promise Of Chairman
Smoot, coupled with the demands
last session of Democratic leaders
for repeal Of these levies, seems to
assure their end.
