DRASTIC CHANGES SEEN
IN RELIEF MEASURE
r. F. G. and Home Loan Bank Acts
Criticised in Many Quarters.

OEItIclSeu LII MANY quarters
BIZ Scripps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 90. - The
new session of congress will be asked
to make drastic changes in two laws
it passed early this year to help
banks, railroads and home financ-
ing agencies.
In the railroad world agitation is
growing for easing of the security
clause of the reconstruction finance
corporation act; and inactivity of
the new home loan banks has re-
suited in demand for "liberaliza-
ton of the law which created them.
Railroad bankers, aided by the
credit corporation, contend that too
literal and cautious Interpretation
is being given to the provision that
carriers must put up adequate Sc
curity for r. F. G. loans.
The interstate commerce commits
sion, it is argued, is observing this
provision governing collateral too
closely, and that, as a result, the
available security of borrowing
railroads is about exhausted.
At the commission, at least one
official has described the security
clause as wide enough to drive a
horse and wagon through" He
meant that the 1. C. c. is given
wide discretion in determining
whether the security offered for
loans is adequate.

nounced he would conduct a canvass

Democrtaic move for action on the
resolution at the opening of the

Garner explained that some peo-
pie" presumably congressman, had
come to him and objected to the
method of submission contained in
the repeal amendment drafted by
the Speaker Monday.
Face Some Objections
It was indicated that some mem
bers had objected specifically to ra-
LITIGATION of the amendment by the
state convention method.
Il shall conduct a canvass be-
tween now and Monday the
Speaker said, but if I become con-
WINGED that a vote after that time
would be to the best legislative in
terest would not be cEaid to back
down. We can wait; we have plenty
of time"
The Vice President ELECT, while
declaring that he would do what
the ajority of the house" wants,
strongly re-emphasized his position
that firts day vote on repeal is
highly desirable.

would attempt to have the commit
tee change the Garner repeal reso-
luton so as to provide for ratifica-

peal amendment also was discussed

RECEIPTS TAX
FOR STATE IS
TOBE URGED
Proposal Is Expected in
Report to Leslie by
Conference Group.
KILLS PROPERTY LEVY
Plan Is Modelled After Mis-
SiSsippi Law; All Must
Paw.
BY BEN STERN

recommendation that the legisIa-
ture pass a law providing for a gen.
eral receipts tax, to do away entirely
with the property levy tax for state
expenditures, is expected to be con-
tanned in the report of the tax con-
ference committee to be submitted
next week to Governor Harry G..
Leslie.
The proposal, modelled, on the Mis-
sissippi law, would provide that
every one, individuals, corporations,
professional men and laborers pay a
levy ranging from Il of l per cent
to p of per cent on gross receipts,
Corporations which object to an
income levy have signi1ed that they
will not endeavor to impede passage
of such bill, according to Walter
S. Chambers, Newcastle publisher
and Democratic minority leader of
the state senate.
See Yield OF $4,000, ZOO, 900
Estimated yield from a of
per cent levy on gross receipts will
,otal in excess of $12,000,000, which
S the size of the state budget. This
would replace the property levy
now in existence for this purpose,
Chambers said.
Although the Democratic plat
form provides for a personal in
come tax, the tax conference COM
nittee report is not expected to in
clude such a recommendation, it
is said.
Chambers also declares that it
will be possible by increasing the
gross receipts tax to Il of per cent
not only to take care of the state
budget, but also to pay the salaries
If all common school teachers, and
thus lift the heavy burden from
the school districts.
This would amount to another
s12,000,000 and if the gross receipts
AK is not sufficient, it may be rec
ommended that there be passed
;igaret sales and other luxury taxes.
Goes Farther Than Sales Tax
Many members of the committee
are in favor of both the gross re-
ceipts tax of Il of L per cent and
personal income levy to relieve pro-
perty from the load.
The gross receipts tax is a novel
plan for this state.
Although a general sales tax has
been proposed in previous sessions
of the general assembly the gross
receipts recommendation goes, even
farther than the former. For in
this plan every man or woman hav-
ing an income, every store, every
factory, every corporation which
has receipts must pay the tax on
the gross amount and not ca the
net earnings. Gross receipts and
the tax are to be computed and
collected every 40 days, according to
the present plan.
Corporations Are Willing
Corporations which object to an
income levy or to a manufacturers
tax are willing to adopt this plan,
if it relieves them of paying the
heavy property tax for state pur-
poses, although no exemptions are
provided
Although under the $3.50 maxi
mum tax law this is only Is cents
on each 500 of assessed property,
yet it is known that because of the
deficit it may be fixed in excess of
80 cents by the next legislature.
The tax conference committee
