the board of the Standard Oil Co. of
Indiana, testified today that he received
total of $759,50 from H. S. Osler,
president of the Continental Trading
Co., but that the money was not used
by him personally.
Instead, he said, a trust fund was
created for the Sinclair Crude Oil Pur-
chasing Co. and the Standard Oil Co.
of Indiana. each to receive one-haf of
the securities. Last Saturday, however,
he told the committee, the directors of
his company were consulted and 1t

transaction between himself and OSler
was not of the usual" kind. On sew
eral occasions, he said, Osler had given
him securities, which finally totaled
the amount he mentioned to the COM
mittee. This was done. he declared
despite the fact that he told Osler
he did not want to share in the profits

The Continental was formed to buy
oil from the Humphreys interests of
Denver for $l.50 barrel. 1t sold the
oil TO Sinclair and Stewart Cos. for

At the end of his testimony Stewart
insisted on replying TO the queries which
he had turned deaf ear to on the for

having discussed the transactions with
Sinclair and knew nothing about the

committee. The Democrats, who are
urging a $500, ,0O0, 900 reduction, took it
u der consideration. and another meet
ing viii be held Thursday. when the
majority group expects to revise the bill
as proposed today.
Would Cut Corporation Tax.
The Republican program follows:
Reduction of the corporation tax from
1872 to 1912 per cent; loss, S02, ,000, 600.
Repeal Of the automobile tax; loss, s66,-
100000.

The program knocks out the House
provision to allow a reduction in the
corporation tax to apply retroactively
on incomes for the taxable year of
1927. 1t does provide. however. that
the proposed cut in the surtaX rate
should apply retroactively on last
years income which is payable this
year and which would mean the re-
turn Of S25,000, 900 to individual tax
payers on this years taxes.
Restores Club Dues Levy.
The Republicans also decided to re-
store the full rate Of 10 per cent on
cut in half. saving $4,000 in re-
ductions under the House bill. The
program also restores the full rate Of
. per cent asked on transfers Of capi-
tai stock, involving $4,000, 900. and the
tax on produce exchange sales. lnvolv-
