Excise Levies
Another Year
May Urge General Sales
Tax But Passage
Doubtful
FUNDS NEEDED

The administration will be fore
ed to ask the next congress to enact
a $5oo,o0o,oo tax bill in January,
because numerous levies now re-
turning that sum to the treasury
will expire on July 1, 1885.
There is some talk on Capitol
Hill about reviving the once de-
|feated general sales tax to replace
the existing so-called nuisance lev
les. Unless the administration re-
comments the proposition, how
ever, the chances for its adoption
are considered slim.
The revenue question is being
studied by treasury and house ways
and means committee experts. Their
recommendations are to be placed
before President Roosevelt probably
in November, when a ways and
means subcommittee begins tofor-
mulate the new bill.
! Representative Robert L. Dough-
ton, Democrat of North Carolina,
chairman of the ways and means
committee, who led the fight that
resulted in the defeat of the sales
tax in 1882, recently said he would
favor that method of raising rev.
enue "only as a last resort"
While the $3.50, 900 900 act pass
ed last spring plugged many ave-
nues through which some big fin
anciers have evaded payments, it
was not considered perfect. Be-
sides seeking to perfect that meas
ure, Doughton said it was planned
to give the whole tax structure an
overhauling that will insure a
steady income for the treasury.
Because of the short time the
new act has been on the statute
books, its revenue-raising qualities
have yet to be determined. Indi-
cations are that the capital stock
and excess profits taxes will bring
in substantial returns.
However, experts claim it will
not be sufficient to take care of
the levies lapsing next July. One
the miscellaneous imposts, that
on bank checks, which returned
100000 in the last fiscal year,
terminates January l., 1885.
Of the numerous levies ending
July 1, the one-cent a gallon tax
IN gasoline is the biggest producer,
yielded $2o2, 100000 in the
asst fiscal year. Unless continued
~ congress, this tax and those on
ubrication oils, electrical energy,
automobiles and parts, communi-
systems, admissions, among
many others go off the books at
he end of the present fiscal year.
