New Bill Is Submitted to

REVISED MANY TIMES
Higher Levy on Large In

BIZ Upitcd PRISE

o. tHifN = 'Ft
WASHINGTON. April 14.-The
new tax bill, many times revised by
the senate before it was passed last
night, was submitted to President
Roosevelt today before the house
had been given the opportunity of
considering the senate amendments
The procedure was considered un-
usual.
The $500, 900 measure, with
higher taxes on large incomes and
lower taxes on small incomes, now
has pasesd both houses.
1t provides for publicity on tax re-
turns and for heavy levies on in
heritances.
Usually after the senate adopts a
tax bill it goes back to the house,
but the present bill will not 90 back
until Mr.. Roosevelt has given his
opinion on changes originated by
Republican independent senators
which almost doubled the amount OF
potential revenue asked by the adj
ministratiOn.
Chairman Pat Harrison of the
senate finance committee, who
piloted the bill on its long and
stormy voyage through the senate
delayed arrangements for a confer
ence between the two houses until
he saw the President. He expected
to do this today.
S488, 100000 in New Revenue
Capitol tax experts estimated that
the bill in the form it passed the
senate, after nearly two weeks OF
raiding by the liberal group intent
upon higher taxation, would bring
S488 100000 in new revenue.
The house bill provided for $685.
100000 in new federal income.
One reason for consulting Mr.
Roosevelt was to determine his at
titude toward the tax on cOcOanut
and other oils imported from the
Philippines. The President has OPP
posed this tax. Some have believed
he might veto the bill for this rea-
son.
A roll call was taken when the
bill passed the senate after neary
two weeks OF debate. 1t found only
seven votes against the measure. AL
were cast by Republicans.
Recovery Tax Approved
Principal features of the senate
tax bill:
1t imposes a blanket 10 per cen
recovery tax" increase for one yea
on all income taxes. Even with thi'
increase. the income tax rates arr
below present levies except in thu
higher brackets.
Increased taxes we're voted OF
large inheritances. Surtax rate
werc increased.
Income tax returns were mad,
pubic records, open to public in
SpeCtion.
The privilege extended to affiliated
corporations of filing consolidated
tax returns at a slightly increased
rate was removed.
The 10 per cent recovery tax
was expected to be removed before
final adoption of the tax law.
The removal of consolidated re
turns was voted twice by the senat'
and was expected to remain in TIT
bill.
